With the huge number of medicinal products, it is easy to get lost in the pharmaceutical jungle. Clearly divided into over-the-counter medicines, prescription-only drugs and narcotics, the flashcards make it easier for beginners to learn the material. In this way, information about - Indications and mechanisms of action - Doses and available dosage forms - Instructions for use and special features can be repeated and consolidated. The new check section summarises the important side effects, interactions and contraindications. So now nothing stands in the way of successfully advising patients!
The selection of a drug as well as the determination of the appropriate dosage form and the correct dosage, are two of the difficult tasks faced by a physician. This is particularly the case in paediatrics, where drugs are very often used outside of their licensed indications and hence no dosage recommendations are available. This standard work provides the reliable information that is needed: - Dosages of more than 300 medicines - Differentiation according to age and weight - Details of paediatric licensing - Off-label dosages according to the literature and experience - Contraindications and frequency of undesirable effects. Numerous active substances have been newly included in this 16th edition. Essential for physicians and also indispensable for pharmacists when checking prescriptions for plausibility.

This guide provides patients with important medical information about interactions of their drug products with vitamins and minerals. These interactions are not always listed in the accompanying package inserts. Those who take acid blockers such as omeprazole or pantoprazole may not only develop disorders relating to calcium, magnesium, vitamin D and bone metabolism in the long term, but above all become deficient in vitamin B12. This way, patients can improve their treatment, reduce the side effects of their medication and increase their quality of life!

The handling of drug interactions in the pharmacy has an important significance. A well-functioning interaction management system increases the safety of drug therapy for patients, promotes interdisciplinary exchange between physician and pharmacist, and boosts the skills of the local pharmacy. The author, an experienced practitioner, has developed standard templates for successfully communicating the most commonly occurring, clinically relevant interactions: - Decision aids in the form of flowcharts: When and how should the communication with the physician take place? - Aids to communication as sample forms that can be tailored to the individual pharmacy: What information does the physician need, what solutions does the pharmacy suggest? The forms cover both general interactions and specific interaction pairs and mechanisms: The appropriate solution for every interaction!

Was ist Zen? Die Lehre des Zen selbst widersetzt sich jeder Aussage über ihren tiefsten Inhalt. Es geht allein um das persönliche Erleben einer Antwort auf die Grundfragen menschlicher Existenz. Mystische Versenkung und intuitive Erleuchtung des Geistes sind mit dem Begriff des Zen verbunden, der, wörtlich genommen, Kontemplation, Selbstversenkung bedeutet.

Zen ist keine theoretische Belehrung, es ist kein Studium von Schriften. Zen gründet sich vielmehr auf Praxis und auf persönliches Erleben der Wirklichkeit. Es bedeutet den unmittelbaren Kontakt mit dem Leben mit dem Ziel, eine nahtlose Verbindung zwischen Ich und Leben zu schaffen. Der große amerikanische Religionsphilosoph Alan Watts (1915-1973) hat diese Einführung in den Geist des Zen und den Zen-Buddhismus eigens für westliche Leser verfaßt und zeigt ihnen Wege auf, wie sie sich dem Denken des Zen nähern können. Das Buch wurde zum Klassiker.

Many early modern plays use poison, most famously Hamlet, where the murder of Old Hamlet showcases the range of issues poison mobilises. Its orchard setting is one of a number of sinister uses of plants which comment on both the loss of horticultural knowledge resulting from the Dissolution of the Monasteries and also the many new arrivals in English gardens through travel, trade, and attempts at colonisation. The fact that Old Hamlet was asleep reflects unease about soporifics troubling the distinction between sleep and death; pouring poison into the ear smuggles in the contemporary fear of informers; and it is difficult to prove. This book explores poisoning in early modern plays, the legal and epistemological issues it raises, and the cultural work it performs, which includes questions related to race, religion, nationality, gender, and humans' relationship to the environment.

Der Band gibt eine zusammenfassende Darstellung der Wesenszüge des Zen-Buddhismus und macht den Versuch, die Brücke zwischen östlicher Religiosität und westlicher Wissenschaft zu schlagen und die Frage zu beantworten, welchen Wert die Begegnung von Zen-Buddhismus und Psychoanalyse haben könnte.
