El. knyga: Small Animal Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics

In this resource, Boothe (physiology and pharmacology, College of Veterinary Medicine, Auburn U.) assembles US veterinary and pharmacology specialists in 30 chapters on the evidence-based use of pharmaceuticals to treat small animals like dogs and cats. They cover the principles of drug therapy; uses for infections or infestations; and drugs for different body systems, inflammation, and immunomodulation. Along with an emphasis on basic principles, factors that affect plasma drug concentrations, and an individual approach to therapy, this edition has an increased focus on rational antimicrobial use, pharmacogenetics, and more tabular data summarizing drug use and key points to stress major concepts. It also assesses the evidence for the therapeutic intent of each drug. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
