Australian Pharmaceutical Formulary and Handbook 21st Ed.
It is with great pleasure that I bring you the 21st edition of the Australian Pharmaceutical Formulary and Handbook (APF). First published in 1902, the APF is now in its 107th year. During this time, its purpose and intent have changed considerably. Originally a small formulary, it has evolved into a substantial clinical handbook valuable in many aspects of pharmacy practice and academia, both in Australia and overseas. This evolution has occurred primarily to meet the growing needs of pharmacists as a result of changing practice and practice environment and increasing consumer education.
Written in a concise and easy to digest form, the dictionary covers a wide variety of subject matter, including: · radiation legislation and measurement · computing and digital imaging terminology · nuclear medicine radionuclides and radiopharmaceuticals · radiographic contrast agents (x-ray, MRI and ultrasound) · definitions used in ultrasound and MRI technology · statistical expressions and general scientific terms relevant to radiology. Keywords are linked so that a particular topic can be followed by reference to all relevant keywords. In many instances, keywords are further defined by showing worked examples.
This book provides both the evidence and the guidance to enable doctors to improve their assessment and management of the psychological and behavioural aspects of the most common problems presenting in general medical care. It summarises the recent research evidence and provides common sense guidance on how psychological and psychiatric aspects of illness can be addressed within the medical consultation.
Building on the success and popularity of previous editions, Pocket Prescriber 2009-10 has been fully updated to incorporate new drugs, to remove drugs no longer on the market and to reflect recent changes in dosages and prescribing practice. It fills a niche by providing the most essential clinical pharmacology information that busy clinicians need at their fingertips - by focusing on the 500 key drugs that are most commonly prescribed, in an A to Z listing, the book avoids overwhelming the reader with information and remains user-friendly.
