Polymeric Nanosystems: Theranostic Nanosystems, Volume One examines the applications of nanotherapeutic systems and nanodiagnostics in relation to polymeric nanosystems. In the last decade, numerous biopolymers have been utilized to prepare polymeric nanosystems for therapeutic applications. These biopolymers include polylactic acid, polylactide-co-glycolide, polycaprolactone, acrylic polymers, cellulose and cellulose derivatives, alginates, chitosan, gellan gum, gelatin, albumin, chontroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, guar gum, gum Arabic, gum tragacanth, xanthan gum, and starches. Besides these biopolymers, grafted polymers are also being used as advanced polymeric materials to prepare many theranostic nanocarriers and nanoformulations. This book explores the array of polymeric nanosystems to understand therapeutic potentials. It will be useful to pharmaceutical scientists, including industrial pharmacists and analytical scientists, health care professionals, and regulatory scientists actively involved in the pharmaceutical product and process development of tailor-made polysaccharides in drug delivery applications.

The OSCEs have become a part of most examinations in Critical Care Medicine. This book will be of great help to the examinees. The contents have been divided into two sections one is Questions and the second is Answers. It contains chapters on Respiratory Medicine, Neurology, Nephrology, Microbiology and Infection Control, Hemodynamics, Drugs, Biochemistry, Miscellaneous, and Case Scenarios. Contains nearly 330 questions with model answers. Questions range from the old tests, new techniques and devices, and results of laboratory and other investigations. Also covers questions on all organ systems and different ways these systems may be affected by the disease. The answers are structured from examination point-of-view. These will help the examinees in developing the skills to face the objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) in their examination.
