3D printing is forecast to revolutionise the pharmaceutical sector,
changing the face of medicine development, manufacture and use.
Potential applications range from pre-clinical drug development and
dosage form design through to the fabrication of functionalised
implants and regenerative medicine. Within clinical pharmacy
practice, printing technologies may finally lead to the concept of
personalised medicines becoming a reality. This volume aims to be
the definitive resource for anyone thinking of developing or using
3D printing technologies in the pharmaceutical sector, with a
strong focus on the translation of printing technologies to a
clinical setting. This text brings together leading experts to
provide extensive information on an array of 3D printing
techniques, reviewing the current printing technologies in the
pharmaceutical manufacturing supply chain, in particular,
highlighting the state-of-the-art applications in medicine and
discussing modern drug product manufacture from a regulatory
perspective. This book is a highly valuable resource for a range of
demographics, including academic researchers and the pharmaceutical
industry, providing a comprehensive inventory detailing the current
and future applications of 3D printing in pharmaceuticals. Abdul W.
Basit is Professor of Pharmaceutics at the UCL School of Pharmacy,
University College London. Abdul's research sits at the interface
between pharmaceutical science and gastroenterology, forging links
between basic science and clinical outcomes. He leads a large and
multidisciplinary research group, and the goal of his work is to
further the understanding of gastrointestinal physiology by
fundamental research. So far, this knowledge has been translated
into the design of new technologies and improved disease
treatments, many of which are currently in late-stage clinical
trials. He has published over 350 papers, book chapters and
abstracts and delivered more than 250 invited research
presentations. Abdul is also a serial entrepreneur and has filed 25
patents and founded 3 pharmaceutical companies (Kuecept, Intract
Pharma, FabRx). Abdul is a frequent speaker at international
conferences, serves as a consultant to many pharmaceutical
companies and is on the advisory boards of scientific journals,
healthcare organisations and charitable bodies. He is the European
Editor of the International Journal of Pharmaceutics. Abdul was the
recipient of the Young Investigator Award in Pharmaceutics and
Pharmaceutical Technology from the American Association of
Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) and is the only non-North American
scientist to receive this award. He was also the recipient of the
Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences (APS) award. Simon Gaisford
holds a Chair in Pharmaceutics and is Head of the Department of
Pharmaceutics at the UCL School of Pharmacy, University College
London. He has published 110 papers, 8 book chapters and 4 authored
books. His research is focused on novel technologies for
manufacturing medicines, particularly using ink-jet printing and 3D
printing, and he is an expert in the physico-chemical
characterisation of compounds and formulations with thermal methods
and calorimetry.

Verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli(VTEC) belonging to several
different O serotypes, has been associated with watery or bloody
diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis, and hemolytic uremic syndrome. One
serotype (O157: H7) is now recognized as an important human
pathogen of public health concern. Till now, little information was
available on the global prevalence of VTEC of O157 and other
serotypes in patients with diarrhea and HUS in Iraq.This book
provides a unique data on the prevalence and characterization of
VTEC obtained from patients with diarrhea
India initiated macroeconomic stabilization measures and structural
reforms in July 1991 and since then the reform process has been
refined and elaborated. The economic growth in India during the
reform period has been generally regarded as "good" but not
"sufficiently inclusive." These concerns necessitate a detailed
stock taking of India's economic policies and its outcome over the
reform period to identify its success and failures and suggest for
restructuring the economic policies to achieve a higher,
sustainable and sufficiently inclusive growth rate in future. This
edited book examines the impact of the economic reforms on various
fronts since 1991. It contains thirty seven articles divided into
five sections viz.; section I: growth, poverty, unemployment and
reforms; section II: economic reforms and Indian agriculture;
section III: sectoral and regional issues; section IV: banking and
financial sector reforms; and section V: India's external sector
reforms. The book is useful for the students of various disciplines
who have interest in the subject and are involved in the research
and development.
The use of plants for biological, pesticidal as well as medicinal
purposes has long history. In material-resource poor countries like
Tanzania where medical and veterinary facilities cannot satisfy
national demands, plants have played a big role in combating both
human and animal diseases. In addition, since the use of synthetic
pesticides in the control of pests is almost incompatible and
uneconomical, traditional practices incorporate the use of plants
as pesticides. Indigenous knowledge (IK) however has remained
unexploited with limited research and resources committed. The book
describes the findings of the research carried out in an attempt to
have detailed account of biological, pesticidal and medicinal
potentials of Tanzanian indigenous plants. This is just to ensure
that users have an understanding of the different biological
(antimicrobial, antioxidant, etc) and pesticidal activities of the
plants they use in a way to guarantee safety for them and their
livestock as well as for further industrial endavours in the
country.
Increasing interdependence and rapidly changing relationships among
nations have given rise to growing concerns about health problems
worldwide. Medical education is central to the future provision of
health services in the emerging world order. This major reference
work presents the history, evolution, current status, and future
direction of medical education in 28 countries around the world,
and describes current issues and trends in each. The countries
profiled represent a broad range of political, economic, and social
conditions. Following introductory overviews and discussions of
global issues in medical education and evaluation, each chapter
describes the health care delivery system; role of national policy;
undergraduate, graduate, and continuing medical education;
licensure and certification; and international linkages in a
particular country. Each chapter includes detailed statistical
information and extensive references to additional resources about
each country. The volume also includes comprehensive information
about relevant national and international organizations,
institutions, and govenment agencies that influence medical
education policy determination and implementation; it provides
basic biblographic source material for all major topics and for
each country.
