Practiced for more than 2,000 years, acupuncture was once
restricted to the realm of alternative medicine. It was thought to
be based on mythical elements and not easily understood by those in
the scientific community. Acupuncture: An Anatomical Approach,
Second Edition dispels these notions and brings this once backroom
therapy into the forefront-explaining it in terms that can be
easily comprehended by all medical professionals. Presenting a
scientific, anatomical approach to acupuncture, this volume
discusses: The basics of the nervous system Acupuncture points
located in the head and face, formed by the cranial nerves The
cervical plexus, which forms acupuncture points in the neck region
Acupuncture points formed by the brachial plexus in the upper
limbs, spinal nerves in the body trunk, and the lumbar-sacral
plexuses in the lower limbs The anesthesia effect of biochemical
substances in the nervous system The measurement and quantification
of pain Applications of acupuncture in clinical practice, from
cases easy to treat to those more challenging Theories on the
future of acupuncture The treatment of pain, in general, is
controversial, as many therapies have unintended consequences and
side effects. Acupuncture provides a therapy that is quick, easy to
perform, and requires no medications. This volume enables
physicians, osteopaths, pain specialists, chiropractors, and other
health professionals to perform this effective treatment for their
patients who experience both chronic and acute pain.
Pharmaceutical and clinical calculations are critical to the
delivery of safe, effective, and competent patient care and
professional practice. Pharmaceutical and Clinical Calculations,
Second Edition addresses this crucial component, while emphasizing
contemporary pharmacy practices. Presenting the information in a
well-organized and easy-to-understand manner, the authors explain
the principles of clinical calculations involving dose and dosing
regimens in patients with impaired organ functions, aminoglycoside
therapy, pediatric and geriatric dosing, and radiopharmaceuticals
with appropriate examples. Each chapter begins with an introduction
to the topic, followed by a comprehensive discussion. Key concepts
are highlighted throughout the book for easy retrieval. The
examples presented in the text reflect the practice environment in
community, hospital, and nuclear pharmacy settings, and the
clinical problems presented reflect a direct application of
underlying theoretical principles and discussions. Pharmaceutical
and Clinical Calculations, Second Edition is an essential tool for
any practitioner who needs to reinforce their knowledge of the
subject and is a valuable study guide for the Pharmacy Board
examination.
