Human Drug Metabolism: An Introduction, Second Edition By Michael D. Coleman(auth.)
2010 | 350 Pages | ISBN: 0470742178 | PDF | 4 MB
Human Drug Metabolism, An Introduction, Second Edition provides an accessible introduction to the subject and will be particularly invaluable to those who already have some understanding of the life sciences. Completely revised and updated throughout, the new edition focuses only on essential chemical detail and includes patient case histories to illustrate the clinical consequences of changes in drug metabolism and its impact on patient welfare. After underlining the relationship between efficacy, toxicity and drug concentration, the book then considers how metabolizing systems operate and how they impact upon drug concentration, both under drug pressure and during inhibition. Factors affecting drug metabolism, such as genetic polymorphisms, age and diet are discussed and how metabolism can lead to toxicity is explained. The book concludes with the role of drug metabolism in the commercial development of therapeutic agents as well as the pharmacology of some illicit drugs.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1-11): Chapter 2 Drug Biotransformational Systems - Origins and Aims (pages 13-22): Chapter 3 How Oxidative Systems Metabolize Substrates (pages 23-64): Chapter 4 Induction of Cytochrome P450 Systems (pages 65-92): Chapter 5 Cytochrome P450 Inhibition (pages 93-123): Chapter 6 Conjugation and Transport Processes (pages 125-157): Chapter 7 Factors Affecting Drug Metabolism (pages 159-212): Chapter 8 Role of Metabolism in Drug Toxicity (pages 213-267):

James B Waldram, "Hound Pound Narrative: Sexual Offender Habilitation and the Anthropology of Therapeutic Intervention"
English | 2012 | pages: 284 | ISBN: 0520272552, 0520272560 | PDF | 1,4 mb
This is a detailed ethnographic study of a therapeutic prison unit in Canada for the treatment of sexual offenders. Utilizing extensive interviews and participant-observation over an eighteen month period of field work, the author takes the reader into the depths of what prison inmates commonly refer to as the "hound pound." James Waldram provides a rich and powerful glimpse into the lives and treatment experiences of one of society's most hated groups. He brings together a variety of theoretical perspectives from psychological and medical anthropology, narrative theory, and cognitive science to capture the nature of sexual offender treatment, from the moment inmates arrive at the treatment facility to the day they are relased. This book explores the implications of an outside world that balks at any notion that sexual offenders can somehow be treated and rendered harmless. The author argues that the aggressive and confrontational nature of the prison's treatment approach is counterproductive to the goal of what he calls "habilitation" - the creation of pro-social and moral individuals rendered safe for our communities.

Jane Block, Claude Sorgeloos, "Homage to Adrienne Fontainas: Passionate Pilgrim for the Arts"
English | 2013 | pages: 377 | ISBN: 1433120054 | PDF | 156,8 mb
The twenty-two essays in this volume are contributed by Belgian, French, and American scholars to honor the memory and work of Adrienne Fontainas (1929-2010). The interdisciplinary scholarship this community of international scholars has produced is of lasting importance in underlining the significant role of Brussels from 1870 to 1914. A leading European scholar and bibliophile, Adrienne Fontainas served as Vice President of the International Association of Bibliophiles and membre d'honneur of the Royal Society of Bibliophiles and Iconophiles of Belgium. Her groundbreaking books on the Symbolist poet StГ©phane MallarmГ© and his Brussels' editor Edmond Deman (Edmond Deman Г©diteur : Art et Г©dition au tournant du siГЁcle and Edmond Deman : Publications de la librairie) are model studies of the book publishing trade in France and Belgium.
