2020Amino Acids in Prevention and Treatment
A selection for clinical practice
by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Klaus Kisters
In contrast to vitamins and minerals, for a long time, science paid only scant attention to amino acids, but this all changed when scientists Robert F. Furchgott, Louis J. Ignarro and Ferid Murad received the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1998 for their work on amino acids. Pharmacist Uwe Gröber, Head of the Academy for Micronutrient Medicine in Essen and Prof. Klaus Kisters, MD, Head of the Department of Medicine at St Anna Hospital in Herne – both experts in micronutrient medicine – have reviewed the subject and explain clearly and in practical terms: ■ The importance of individual amino acids for our health ■ How they are optimally used in combination with vitamins, minerals and trace elements ■ Which diseases can be positively influenced in this way. ■ Effects on colds and influenza, cold sores, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, ADHD as well as stress and burnout are examined in more detail. A further chapter is devoted to amino acids and their use in sportsmen and -women.

Die Mission der Gesundheitserziehung Hadassah
by Prof. Schifra Shvarts und Dr. Zipora Shehory-Rubin mit Prof. Yoel Donchin
Die Mission der Gesundheitserziehung Hadassah: Die amerikanischen zionistischen Frauen im Heiligen Land von Prof. Schifra Shvarts und Dr. Zipora Shehory-Rubin mit Prof. Yoel Donchin Die Buch Hadassah behandelt die Themen Frauen, Gesundheit und Zionismus. Das Buch konzentriert sich hauptsächlich auf das einzigartige Bestreben der Mitglieder der Hadassah Women's Organisation, die es als ihre Aufgabe ansahen, auf der Grundlage ihrer amerikanischen Erfahrungen im Bereich moderne öffentliche Gesundheitsdienste für die jüdische Gemeinde in Palästina unter britischer Herrschaft ein Gesundheitswesen aufzubauen. In diesen ersten zehn Jahren erhielten 46.000 schwangere Frauen und 53.000 Kinder Hilfe durch dieses Gesundheitssystem, Krankenschwestern erledigten 700.000 Hausbesuche, und die 44 Mütter- und Säuglingsstationen, die flächendeckend ihre Dienste bereitstellten, wurden 1,7 Millionen Mal besucht. Dank dieser Dienste sank die Kindersterblichkeit in der jüdischen Gemeinde signifikant von 144 pro 1000 im Jahre 1922 auf 54 pro 1000 im Jaher 1939 (im Vergleich zu 50 pro 1000 in den USA und 53 pro 1000 in Großbritannien). Kein anderer vergleichbarer Dienst hat in so kurzer Zeit so bemerkenswerte Ergebnisse erzielt. Alle öffentlichen Gesundheitsdienste unter dem Dach der Hadassah waren für alle Menschen gleichermaßen zugänglich, einschließlich der arabischen Bevölkerung. Die Mission wurde hauptsächlich von der zionistischen Ideologie des Aufbaus einer neuen, körperlich und geistig gesunden Nation getragen. Der öffentliche Gesundheitsauftrag dieser amerikanischen Frauen war ein integraler Bestandteil des zionistischen Engagements zu diesem Zeitpunkt. Doch im Gegensatz zu anderen Bereichen der zionistischen Tätigkeit in Palästina während dieser Zeit wurde die Organisation ausschließlich von Frauen getragen. Dieses Buch ist die Geschichte dieser engagierten amerikanischen zionistischen Frauen und ihrer bemerkenswerten Leistungen und Beiträge für die Gesundheit der jüdischen Gemeinde in Palästina in der Frühzeit des Aufbaus des Landes. Das Buch Hadassah enthält Original-Bilder, die vor ein paar Jahren in einem der alten Hadassah-Lagerräume in Jerusalem von Prof. Yoel Donchin entdeckt wurden und derzeit in einer Sonderausstellung im Jerusalem Theater gezeigt werden. Über die Autoren Schifra Shvarts, Ph.D., ist außerordentliche Professorin für Geschichte der Medizin an der Ben-Gurion-Universität und wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Gertner-Institut für Epidemiologie und Health Policy Research, Sheba Medical Center. Sie ist spezialisiert auf die soziale Geschichte der Medizin und der öffentlichen Gesundheit vom neunzehnten zum zwanzigsten Jahrhundert in Israel. Sie hat sechs Bücher über die Entwicklung und Geschichte des israelischen Gesundheitswesens veröffentlicht. Sie ist auch die Autorin der israelischen HMO-Indizes in der israelischen Medical Encyclopedia und der Encyclopedia Judaica. Zipora Shehory-Rubin, Ph.D., ist Senior Lecturer am Kaye Academic College of Education in Beer-Sheva, Israel, wo sie die Geschichte der Pädagogik und die hebräische Sprache lehrt. Sie erhielt ihr Ph.D. in Geschichte auf der Ben-Gurion-University des Negev, nachdem sie Ihre Dissertation über die erzieherischen und Gesundheitsaktivitäten der Hassadah in Palästina unter britischem Mandat abgeschlossen hatte. Ihre Publikationen umfassen Bücher und Artikel über verschiedene Aspekte der Geschichte der Bildung und der Geschichte der Medizin. Prof. Yoel Donchin, MD, ist ein klinischer Professor für Anästhesie und Intensivmedizin am Hadassah Medical Center, Hebrew University, Jerusalem. Nach Absolvieren der Hadassah Medical School begann er für Hadassah zu arbeiten, wo er ist jetzt Leiter des Patient Safety Center ist. Er rettete und archivierte mehr als 1.000 Fotografien und Filme aus den frühen Jahren der Hadassah. Zurzeit ist er Präsident der Israelischen Gesellschaft für Geschichte der Medizin. Eine E-Book-Ausgabe für Amazon Kindle, Apple i-Pad und andere Formate wurde im Sommer 2011 von SWS, Inc., CA, herausgegeben geplant.

Vom Autor des Bestsellers »Heilen mit der Kraft der Natur« | SPIEGEL-Bestseller
by Prof. Dr. Andreas Michalsen
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.

2023Formularium paediatricum
Prescriptions for children in paediatric practice
by Edited by Dr. Andreas S. Ziegler, Nadine Metzger and Prof. Dr. Dagmar Fischer. In collaboration with Prof. Dr. Peter Langguth, Dr. Stefan Seyferth and Dr. Norbert Ohem
When children are ill, there is often a lack of suitable proprietary medicines. With experience and expertise, pharmacies close this gap. 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? How do I process the active ingredient in a child-friendly way? Which excipients are suitable? 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.

2023Textbook of Korean Medicine
Medicinal drugs and formulations
by Dr. Kenny Kuchta, Prof. Dr. Hans Wilhelm Rauwald, Hans Rausch and Dr. Raimund Royer
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

ATENTADOS TERRORISTAS: la nueva amenaza urbana
by Prof. H. Granot y el Dr. J. Levinson
ATENTADOS TERRORISTAS: la nueva amenaza urbana por el Prof. H. Granot y el Dr. J. Levinson En este trabajo sumamente relevante e innovador, los autores hacen hincapié en los métodos con los que organismos locales pueden responder a los peores atentados terroristas que han debido enfrentar las autoridades en centros urbanos y mitigar sus efectos. Los autores también combinan la teoría con la práctica, citando incidentes en todo el mundo —incluido el devastador ataque perpetrado el 11 de septiembre de 2001 contra el Centro de Comercio Mundial en Nueva York y contra el Pentágono— haciendo al mismo tiempo hincapié en la singular experiencia de Israel en este campo. En vista de la creciente amenaza de atentados terroristas y del acrecentado interés en la gestión de casos de emergencia, Atentados terroristas provee un bien fundado material de fondo a funcionarios y miembros de unidades de emergencia que tratan de comprender una de las peores amenazas al mundo moderno.

2022Drugs as Micronutrient Robbers
What your doctor and pharmacist ought to tell you
by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Klaus Kisters
Many of us have to take drugs on a regular basis. But birth control pills, antibiotics, blood pressure medication, statins, diabetes medication, diuretics, anti-cancer drugs, gastrointestinal remedies or preparations against osteoporosis can all rob the body of essential vitamins and minerals. Often, drug-related micronutrient deficiency is the unrecognized cause of drug side effects. Symptoms such as exhaustion, depression, lack of concentration, irritability, sleep disorders or even dementia can result. Such problems can be prevented. Informed patients can take preventive measures, avoid unwanted side effects and make their drug therapy more effective. This guide explains what to watch out for and how to improve quality of life.

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.

Hadassah for the Health of the People
by Prof. Shifra Shvarts & Dr. Zipora Shehory-Rubin with Prof. Yoel Donchin
The Hadassah Book covers the topics of women, public health, and Zionism. The book focuses mainly on the unique endeavor of the members of the Hadassah Women’s Organization, who took upon themselves the mission of building modern public health services for the Jewish community in Palestine under British rule, based on their American experience in that field. During these first ten years, public health services were provided to 46,000 pregnant women, 53,000 infants, 700,000 house visits were made by nurses, and 1.7 million visits were made to the 44 maternal and infant welfare centers that provided services nationwide. Thanks to these services, infant mortality in the Jewish community dropped significantly from 144:1000 in 1922 to 54:1000 in 1939 (compared to 50:1000 in the U.S. and 53:1000 in the U.K.). No other similar endeavor has achieved such remarkable results in such a short period of time. All public health services provided under the umbrella of Hadassah were equal to all, including the Arab community. The mission was based mainly on the Zionist ideology of building a new nation healthy in body and mind. The public health mission of these American women was an integral part of the Zionist mission and activities at that time. However, unlike other fields of Zionist activity in Palestine during this period, it was led completely and only by women. This book is the story of these determined American Zionist women and their remarkable achievements and contributions to the health of the Jewish community in Palestine, which was the early offspring of a nation in building. The Hadassah Book also includes original pictures that were discovered only a few years ago in one of the old Hadassah storage rooms in Jerusalem by Prof. Yoel Donchin, and they are currently displayed at a special exhibition in the Jerusalem Theater. About the Authors Shifra Shvarts, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor of the History of Medicine at Ben-Gurion University, and a researcher at the Gertner Institute for Epidemiology and Health Policy Research, Sheba Medical Center. She specializes in the social history of medicine and public health in nineteenth- to twentieth-century Israel. She has published six books on the development and history of the Israeli health care system. She is also the author of the Israeli HMO indices in the Israeli Medical Encyclopedia and in the Encyclopedia Judaica. Zipora Shehory-Rubin, Ph.D., is a Senior Lecturer at Kaye Academic College of Education in Beer-Sheva, Israel, where she teaches the history of education and Hebrew language. She received her Ph.D. in history from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev after completing her dissertation on Hadassah's educational enterprises and health activities during British Mandatory rule over Palestine. Her publications include books and articles on various aspects of the history of education and the history of medicine. Prof. Yoel Donchin, M.D., is a Clinical Professor of Anesthesia and Intensive Care at the Hadassah Medical Center, Hebrew University, Jerusalem. After graduating from Hadassah Medical School, he continued his residency at Hadassah, where he is now the head of the Patient Safety Center. He also rescued and preserved more than 1,000 photographs from Hadassah’s early years and films created during that period. Currently he is the president of the Israeli Society of the History of Medicine. An English-language eBook edition was published in Summer 2012 by Samuel Wachtman's Sons, Inc., CA.

2024Intoxicating Drugs
Known and new psychoactive substances
by Prof. Dr. Niels Eckstein
Intoxicating? Intoxicating drugs are as old as mankind itself. Whether herbal or produced synthetically in a laboratory, their variety is almost limitless. And every year, more substances are added to the list. Niels Eckstein, who is a Professor of Drug Regulatory Affairs and Pharmacology and a long-standing expert in the narcotics scene, explores the abysses of the darknet and dealer hell, provides insider information, conducts interviews with dealers and producers, and offers profound insights into the bizarre, parallel world of intoxicating substances. At the same time, the author takes a thorough look at the chemistry of the different substance classes and the neurobiological basis of addiction. He also covers production and assesses the danger and addiction potential of designer drugs, BTM, NPS, medicinal drugs and doping substances. This book outlines the political and sociopolitical dimensions of the use of psychoactive substances, classifies them legally, describes risks, approaches, and help strategies, highlights routes out of drug problems and alternatives to drug prohibition, and comments on the opioid crisis in the United States and the „war on drugs.“ “I don‘t care how it‘s regulated: if he wants it and can pay for it, he gets it. If I get caught, I‘ll go to jail for a few years, whether it‘s for a kilo of coke, meph or testo, it doesn‘t matter.“ – In an interview with a dealer
