Book Description
PDR has been the premier reference on prescription drugs for more than 65 years. A slim, but comprehensive volume entitled Physicians' Desk Reference to Pharmaceutical Specialties and Biologicals made its first appearance in doctors' offices in 1947. The concept behind the PDR First Edition was simple: provide doctors with a single, convenient reference to turn to for all their prescription needs. The idea met with immediate favor among physicians, and year after year the slim 380-page PDR First Edition has grown to more than 3,500 pages (and over 10GBs of data!) today. This reproduction provides a fun and interesting look back at what the standard of care for doctors was in 1947. The book includes interesting facts on how meat juice was used to fight nausea to the then radical new drug category, antihistamines. An invaluable gift or collectable especially for members of the healthcare community.

Prescribing by Numbers
Author: Jeremy A. Greene
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 0801892090
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
Winner, 2009 Rachel Carson Prize, Society for the Social Studies of ScienceWinner, 2012 Edward Kremers Award, American Institute of the History of Pharmacy The second half of the twentieth century witnessed the emergence of a new model of chronic disease—diagnosed on the basis of numerical deviations rather than symptoms and treated on a preventive basis before any overt signs of illness develop—that arose in concert with a set of safe, effective, and highly marketable prescription drugs. In Prescribing by Numbers, physician-historian Jeremy A. Greene examines the mechanisms by which drugs and chronic disease categories define one another within medical research, clinical practice, and pharmaceutical marketing, and he explores how this interaction has profoundly altered the experience, politics, ethics, and economy of health in late-twentieth-century America. Prescribing by Numbers highlights the complex historical role of pharmaceuticals in the transformation of disease categories. Greene narrates the expanding definition of the three principal cardiovascular risk factors—hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol—each intersecting with the career of a particular pharmaceutical agent. Drawing on documents from corporate archives and contemporary pharmaceutical marketing literature in concert with the clinical literature and the records of researchers, clinicians, and public health advocates, Greene produces a fascinating account of the expansion of the pharmaceutical treatment of chronic disease over the past fifty years. While acknowledging the influence of pharmaceutical marketing on physicians, Greene avoids demonizing drug companies. Rather, his provocative and comprehensive analysis sheds light on the increasing presence of the subjectively healthy but highly medicated individual in the American medical landscape, suggesting how historical analysis can help to address the problems inherent in the program of pharmaceutical prevention.
