Book SynopsisThis book deals with the values of medicinal plants and associated knowledge(s) in the field of bioprospecting in post-apartheid South Africa. Bioprospecting, the use of genetic or biological resources for commercial purposes, is a profit-oriented enterprise facing new challenges with the rise of human rights and biodiversity politics. This new situation has led to claims for political leverage made by indigenous communities, as well as to claims for national and local cultural identity and heritage. The picture presented here contributes to the widely discussed yet so far unresolved question of how to appropriately share benefits, and how to protect indigenous knowledge in this field.Trade Review"The reading of the book is [...] a journey through a country that is still a mystery to many Western Europeans and is associated with murder and manslaughter rather than with the natural capital this country possesses." Thomas Feltes, https://polizei-newsletter.de, 239 (2020), translated from German

Cambridge University Press Surviving Prescribing
Book SynopsisSafe and effective prescribing is one of the pillars of medical practice but is much more complicated than it seems. Many new prescribers find prescribing extremely challenging, and a plethora of independent, multidisciplinary prescribers are also seeking guidance. However, pharmacology textbooks are rarely practical. They warn to ''take care when prescribing erythromycin to a patient on warfarin, as the INR may rise''. But what should the prescriber actually do? Surviving Prescribing fulfils an important need by offering practical advice for real-world prescribing problems. The book complements existing educational resources but adds a new perspective. Written by experienced contributors from a variety of professional backgrounds, the content speaks directly to the problems routinely seen in hospital prescribing. And all in one, pocket-sized volume. Whether revising for the national Prescribing Safety Assessment, preparing for starting on the wards, or looking for a quick reference guTrade Review'Wow. This is a phenomenal piece of work. Excellent for medical students, specialty trainees and anyone prescribing outside specialty. It acknowledges both the complexity and risks of prescribing and provides a framework that spans pre-clinical pharmacology and prescribing at the bedside. I wish this book had been written 20 years ago. It's chatty and readable and will be an invaluable resource to students and doctors alike.' Dr Chris van Tulleken, Honorary Associate Professor, UCL, London'A valuable source of information and reference and a 'must read' text to support education and learning for prescribers in all health sectors.' Ian Bates, Professor of Pharmacy Education, UCL School of Pharmacy, London'Surviving Prescribing is a must have for new prescribers. An easy-to-use, practical guide to prescribing, it is full of useful tips and easy-to-remember acronyms, in a concise readable format. It will help the reader develop their knowledge of key therapeutic topics, calculation methods, serious drug interactions and electronic prescribing. The comprehensive content is primarily written for hospital-based prescribers though practitioners in care homes, general practice, domiciliary and other primary care settings will find much of the content useful too.'

Nova Science Publishers Inc The Cost of Prescription Drugs
Book SynopsisThe prescription drug delivery system -- how a drug gets from the manufacturer to the patients -- is complicated. Over 4.4 billion prescriptions are written for drugs each year for Americans who then pick up these prescriptions at 60,000 drugstores or receive them from doctors or hospitals or online pharmacies. Chapter 1 is about how Americans pay for prescription drugs and where that money goes. Chapter 2 is about the process, beginning with the manufacturer's development of a drug, the different steps through which the drug travels before arriving in a patient's hands, how this is paid for, and what the costs are at each step along the way.Table of ContentsPreface; The Cost of Prescription Drugs: How the Drug Delivery System Affects What Patients Pay; The Cost of Prescription Drugs: How the Drug Delivery System Affects What Patients Pay, Part II; Index.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Prescription Drug Pricing: Background, Discount
Book SynopsisChapter 1 examines the actions of drug companies in raising prescription drug prices in the United States, as well as the effects of these actions on the Federal and state budgets, and on American families. Chapter 2 addresses frequently asked questions about government and private-sector policies that affect drug prices and availability. Among the prescription drug topics covered are federally funded research and development, regulation of direct-to-consumer advertising, legal restrictions on reimportation, and federal price negotiation. The 340B Drug Pricing Program requires drug manufacturers to sell outpatient drugs at discounted prices to covered entities-eligible clinics, hospitals, and others-in order to have their drugs covered by Medicaid. Covered entities are only allowed to provide 340B drugs to certain eligible patients. Chapter 3 reviews the Health Resources and Services Administration's (HRSA) oversight of the 340B Program to ensure compliance with program rules. In 2017, nearly 60% of U.S. adults aged 18-64 reported being prescribed medication in the past 12 months. Approximately 70% of prescription medications carry out-of-pocket costs. Strategies to reduce prescription drug costs at the individual level are discussed in chapters 4 and 5. Each year, Americans pay more for prescription drugs, and rising drug prices have a disproportionate impact on older Americans. Chapter 6 examines the history of rising drug prices for the brand-name drugs most commonly prescribed for seniors. Generic drugs-copies of brand-name drugs-lead to significant cost savings. Before a generic drug can be marketed, FDA must approve the generic drug application. According to FDA, applications go through an average of three cycles of review before being approved, which may take years. Chapter 7 examines 1) the first review cycle approval rate of generic drug applications in recent years and factors that may have contributed to whether applications were approved; and 2) changes FDA has made to increase the first review cycle approval rate.Table of ContentsPreface; Examining the Actions of Drug Companies in Raising Prescription Drug Prices; Frequently Asked Questions About Prescription Drug Pricing and Policy; Drug Discount Program: Status of Agency Efforts to Improve 340B Program Oversight; Strategies Used by Adults Aged 1864 to Reduce Their Prescription Drug Costs, 2017; Strategies Used by Adults Aged 65 and Over to Reduce Their Prescription Drug Costs, 20162017; Manufactured Crisis: How Devastating Drug Price Increases Are Harming Americas Seniors; Generic Drug Applications: FDA Should Take Additional Steps to Address Factors That May Affect Approval Rates in the First Review Cycle; Index.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Pharmacists: Current Challenges and Perspectives
Book SynopsisIt has become apparent that pharmacy education needs to respond to professional and social changes and renew its mission in terms of students and learning objectives. As such, this compilation presents approaches for bridging the theory-practice gap. Following this, the authors focus on pharmacists' role in oncology, and the current challenges and perspectives of pharmacist in oncology settings. Oncology pharmacists contribute to the rational use of chemotherapy and supportive drugs by providing individual pharmaceutical care plans for patients. Challenges in pharmacy education and practice in the Middle East are discussed, and the authors elaborate on specific frameworks for different sectors of pharmacy. It is also proposed that developing the pharmacist's role as a major part of the medical team could provide patients with the highest outcomes at the lowest cost. The objective of the closing review is to make a proposal for the implementation of the analysis of ethical, organisational, legal, social, environmental and other domains, in the studies of the health technology assessment agencies.Table of ContentsPreface; Addressing the Gap between Pharmacy Education and Practice; Current Challenges and Perspectives of Pharmacist in Oncology Settings; Current Challenges and Perspectives of Pharmacy in Middle Eastern Countries; Pharmacists in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Challenges and Perspectives; Synthesis of Relevant Information to Support Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) for Pharmacist Decision-Making; Index.
