In the process, they are often confronted with complex questions before preparing a medicine: Is the dosage right? Which dosage form will be accepted by the child?

Formularium paediatricum provides answers to these and numerous other questions: ■ 70 monographs on tested standard formulations describe the preparation process step-by-step and explain paediatric specifics in terms of formulation. ■ an annotated list of common paediatric excipients as well as comprehensive explanations for evaluating children‘s formulations help to assess unknown, non-standardised formulations. Whenever it is a case of extemporaneous medicines for children: the Formularium paediatricum assists in the preparation in the pharmacy to succeed safely and confidently.
Immer mehr Menschen leiden weltweit unter Gelenkerkrankungen. Knie-, Hüft-, Finger- und Schulterarthrose sind Volksleiden geworden und auch die rheumatischen Entzündungen sind auf dem Vormarsch. Die Schulmedizin hat in der Behandlung der Gelenkerkrankungen zahlreiche Fortschritte erzielt, aber meist nur auf dem Gebiet der Operationen, die häufg nicht notwendig wären, und der Medikamente, die oft mit Nebenwirkungen behaftet sind. Viel zu wenig beachtet und genutzt werden die vielfältigen Verfahren der Naturheilkunde bei Arthrose, Rheuma und Gelenkschmerzen, die oft als Folge unseres modernen Lebensstils auftreten: Bewegungsmangel, Ernährung, Stress, Übergewicht. Das Spektrum der naturheilkundlichen Behandlungsmethoden ist überraschend breit: von Heilfasten, Yoga, speziellen Gelenkübungstechniken, Heilpflanzentherapie, Kneipp-Therapie bis zu Akupunktur, Ayurveda, Blutegeln und Schröpfen. Andreas Michalsen, Chefarzt für Naturheilkunde am Immanuel Krankenhaus Berlin und Professor der Charité Berlin, beschreibt die Vor- und Nachteile schulmedizinischer und naturheilkundlicher Behandlung und empfiehlt in detaillierten Übersichten die besten Therapien der Naturheilkunde bei Gelenkerkrankungen.

Cannabis has been used as a drug since antiquity – but only recently has it progressed to become one of the most exciting medical-pharmaceutical topics of our times. In scarcely any other area of pharmacotherapy has the state of knowledge recently developed at comparable speed. Experts from a variety of fields are constantly working to generate new scientific evidence for the therapeutic use of cannabis and/or cannabinoids and to provide patients with quality-assured medicinal cannabis. This book is the first to give representatives of all relevant areas of expertise the chance to speak. Alongside medical-therapeutic aspects, they address such questions as cultivation, quality assurance, patient care practices and patient counselling. The result of this accumulated knowledge and skill is a unique overall picture that, for the first time, combines and consolidates the current legal and scientific framework of medicinal cannabis provision! All facts have been painstakingly researched and checked. The result is a scientifically valid work, which sets the standard. This excellent compendium is indispensable for everyone who comes into contact with cannabis for professional or personal reasons.
The consistent and evidence-based development of Korean medicine in many clinical application areas has significantly improved its international status in recent years. The basis for this development is one of the most important medical books in Korea, the „Donguibogam“, a clinical lexicon of applications compiled about 400 years ago; at that time the traditional work also enjoyed the highest recognition in China. In 2009 it was included in the „Memory of the World“ register of UNESCO. Even now after 400 years, it still serves as a manual for writing prescriptions for many physicians in Korea, and testifies that the understanding of nature and human disease patterns is still current and clinically applicable even in the modern industrialised world. This work provides ■ understanding for Korean medicine, ■ many selected medicinal formulations and their fields of application, ■ the description and evaluation of important traditional single remedies, ■ the corresponding drug monographs with information on analytical testing
