Pages : 822
Book Description
Excerpt from Specific Diagnosis and Specific Medication W'hen the writer began to prepare the pages which follow it was his intention to revise and combine in one volume the two works of the late Professor Scudder on Specific Diagnosis and Specific Medication._ The great advancement which has been made during the past' third of a century in the Eclectic methods of practice, however, soon, made it apparent that this would be to the writer an impossible task, for it was found that much new matter would have to be added in order to bring the work up to the present needs of the medical profession. This addition could not be made and still preserve Professor Scudder's unique arrangement and forcible diction. It was, therefore, thought the wiser and more satisfactory course to prepare a new work based on the writings Of Dr. Scudder and more recent authors, includ ing the personal Observations of the writer. Individual credit has been given for much of the material used, but as it was found impossible to do so in all cases, a general acknowledgment Of indebtedness to all modern Eclectic authors is hereby made.

Generic
Author: Jeremy A. Greene
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 1421414945
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 375
Book Description
The turbulent history of generic pharmaceuticals raises powerful questions about similarity and difference in modern medicine. Generic drugs are now familiar objects in clinics, drugstores, and households around the world. We like to think of these tablets, capsules, patches, and ointments as interchangeable with their brand-name counterparts: why pay more for the same? And yet they are not quite the same. They differ in price, in place of origin, in color, shape, and size, in the dyes, binders, fillers, and coatings used, and in a host of other ways. Claims of generic equivalence, as physician-historian Jeremy Greene reveals in this gripping narrative, are never based on being identical to the original drug in all respects, but in being the same in all ways that matter. How do we know what parts of a pill really matter? Decisions about which differences are significant and which are trivial in the world of therapeutics are not resolved by simple chemical or biological assays alone. As Greene reveals in this fascinating account, questions of therapeutic similarity and difference are also always questions of pharmacology and physiology, of economics and politics, of morality and belief. Generic is the first book to chronicle the social, political, and cultural history of generic drugs in America. It narrates the evolution of the generic drug industry from a set of mid-twentieth-century "schlock houses" and "counterfeiters" into an agile and surprisingly powerful set of multinational corporations in the early twenty-first century. The substitution of bioequivalent generic drugs for more expensive brand-name products is a rare success story in a field of failed attempts to deliver equivalent value in health care for a lower price. Greene’s history sheds light on the controversies shadowing the success of generics: problems with the generalizability of medical knowledge, the fragile role of science in public policy, and the increasing role of industry, marketing, and consumer logics in late-twentieth-century and early twenty-first century health care.

Plants as Medicine and Aromatics
Author: Mohd Kafeel Ahmad Ansari
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000835545
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
Since ancient times, plants serve as a valuable source of traditional herbal medicines. Unlike modern medicines, herbal medicines have consistently demonstrated health advantages, including a lack of serious adverse side effects, long-lasting curative impacts and overall cost-effectiveness. Even today, with various modern pharmaceutical medicines commonly available, plant-based medicines and aromatics are increasingly in demand throughout the health sector globally, where they are used not only for the treatment of disease, but also, preventatively for maintaining good health. People are seeking alternatives to modern medical treatments turning to phytomedicine for primary health care. However, an inadvertent consequence of this increased demand for herbal medicines has resulted in medicinal plants being threatened due to their initial small population sizes, narrow distribution areas, habitat specificity, and increasingly destructive non-sustainable harvesting. This book critically examines and reviews the status of medicinal plants and includes several important case studies of representative plant species. It contains information on aspects concerning phytochemistry, natural products, cultivation, conservation techniques, environmental interactions, and therapeutic features of medicinal aromatic plants. Features Evaluates plants as medicine and aromatics covering pharmacognosy and ecology of plants having therapeutic values. Discusses how plants can play a role in treatment of diseases and as potential therapeutics standards for maintaining good health. Presents conventional and contemporary approaches to conservation of such plants with commercial feasibility.
