The use of drugs as remedies for various types of diseases has a
long tradition; however, it has only been recently recognized that
the value of any given compound must be evaluated in light of its
benefit to risk ratio. When prescribing drugs, physicians must look
at the big picture of the drug's benefits in relation to its side
effects and possible toxicity. The aim of this handbook is to
compile data from various authors, providing clinicians with data
that will optimize their decision making in selecting effective,
low-risk drug treatments. It also provides research workers,
including physicians, pharmacists, and basic scientists, with a
sound basis for increasing knowledge of the risk/benefit ratios of
various drugs. Includes detailed assessments of the following types
of drugs: Antihypertensive agents Diuretics Anti-diabetic drugs
Anticonvulsant drugs Drugs for Parkinson's disease Antihistamines
and antiserotonins Cytokines and immunomodulators Non-opioid
analgesics and anti-inflammatory agents Antibacterial agents
Antiviral agents Drugs used in reproductive endocrinology Systemic
drugs for skin diseases Topical liposome drugs Topical
glucocorticoids

In a multi-disciplinary approach the book deals with liposome
dermatics fromthe chemist's, pharmacist's, biologist's as well as
clinician's point of view. It features the production of liposomes,
appropriate raw materials, encapsulation of active ingredients,
possible incorporation into vehicles such as gels, assessment of
stability, fate of liposomes and active ingredients exposed to
animaland human skin both in vitro and in vivo, activity of topical
liposome preparations in normal and inflamed skin in animal and man
as well as efficacy in skin diseases in man. Other aspects covered
comprise the ecological and juridic area. The scope being
theoretical and practical at a time, the book provides a sound
basis for future developments to meet the needs of patients
suffering from so far recalcitrant skin diseases.
Over the last 35 years, synthetic detergents have become
increasingly important as skin cleansing agents. With the vast
range of soaps and synthetic cleansers available nowadays, doctors
and pharmacists are expectedto advise on how to cleanse normal as
well as diseased skins. Sound advice must include knowledge of the
nature, composition, and action of the available surfactants and
cleanser preparations, the physiology and pathophysiology of the
skin surface, the microbial ecology ofthe skin, and the factors
that control the skin flora. Much of this knowledge is the result
of recent research. Health care professionals must be familiar, not
only with the benefits, but also with the possible adverse effects
of synthetic detergents on the human skin (roughness, water loss,
etc.) and on the environment. This monograph draws upon the
expertise of numerous scientists to present a comprehensive view of
the subject.
Bei der Behandlung von Hauterkrankungen spielt die oertliche
Anwendung von Arzneimitteln eine zentrale Rolle; alternativ kommt
aber auch immer haufiger eine innerliche oder systemische Therapie
in Betracht. In vielen Fallen gilt es, topische und systemische
Therapie miteinander in sinnvoller Weise zu verbinden. Dieses Buch
berucksichtigt beide Therapieformen in adaquater Weise und erweist
sich aufgrund seiner knappen, pragnanten Darstellung als sehr
praxisorientiert. Auch der Allgemeinmediziner, der zunehmend mit
dermatologischen Fragestellungen konfrontiert wird, findet in
diesem Buch kompaktes Wissen fur die Praxis. Fur Dermatologen,
Internisten, Gynakologen, HNO-AErzte, Apotheker
Hautreinigungsmittel sind in zunehmendem Ma e in vielf{lti- ger
Form verf}gbar, und der Arzt ist auf sie bei verschiede- nen
Therapien angewiesen. Im vorliegenden Band werden alle Wirkungen
und Nebenwirkungen abgehandelt.
Das vorliegende Buch enthAlt eine aktuelle Aoebersicht A1/4ber
sexuell A1/4bertragbare Erkrankungen (Sexually Transmitted
Diseases, STD) und dient vor allem den Belangen der Arztlichen
Praxis sowie aller damit befaAten Sparten der Medizin (z.B.
Allgemeinmediziner, Dermato-Venerologen, GynAkologen, Urologen,
FachArzte fA1/4r Innere Medizin und Kinderheilkunde). Die
Darstellung erlaubt in KA1/4rze einen Aoeberblick A1/4ber die
A"tiologie, Pathogenese, Diagnostik und Therapie der einschlAgigen
Erkrankungen, wobei besonderer Wert auf heutige wichtige
Krankheitsbilder, wie z.B. Chlamydien-Infektionen und AIDS, gelegt
wurde. FA1/4r den weiter interessierten Leser stehen
