        Formularium 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.

        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.

        Drugs 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.

        Interactions between Medicines and Food

        by Prof. Dr. Martin Smollich and Dr. Julia Podlogar

        Interactions between medicines and foodstuffs may be just as clinically relevant as interactions between individual drugs. A single meal contains several hundred potentially interacting compounds that, in an individual patient, may be the deciding factor as to whether a treatment is successful or not. The resulting, sometimes serious risks are not known to most patients – nor to many physicians and pharmacists. This practical handbook enables anyone interested in applied pharmacotherapy to keep abreast of the complex field of drug interactions. The authors – proven experts in clinical pharmacology and pharmaconutrition – describe the most important interactions and give concrete recommendations for action. Tables and overviews permit fast access to potentially problematic combinations. This completely updated edition now also includes information about fruit juices and curcumin as well as a new chapter on food interactions in oncology.

        The Barefoot Doctor

        by Can Xue

        The novel tells of the story about the growth of a barefoot doctor in a village. By means of the experiences of Sister Yi the barefoot doctor, Mi Yi, Hui Ju and other characters, the author manages to expose the real dependence relationship between man and nature, and between man and man, so as to construct a new kind of relationship in the future world from a brand-new perspective with lots of astounding descriptions. The scenes depicted in the novel belong to the future world, the plots, however, firmly stick to the reality. Thus the real and free conceptions in the novel are both down-to-earth and overwhelmingly shocking, from which every ordinary reader can find resonance and gain strength for life in it. Once again, the outlook of philosophy and nature of Can Xue has delicately and simply stood out in the novel in a literary way.

        The Other Goddess

        Mary Magdalene and the Goddesses of Eros and Secret Knowledge

        by Dr. Joanna Kujawa

        Is there a lineage of goddesses that claims the evolutionary power of female sexuality? And if so, why were they pushed to the shadows and demeaned as harlots? Was Mary Magdalene one of them, and what were her teachings? Dr. Joanna Kujawa argues that in the process of recovering the healing power of the Goddess we have focused solely on the mother archetype and left out the other Goddess, who is often represented in mythical, historical, and Gnostic sources as wise, mysterious, and in the possession of the healing power of Eros. Learn about Mary Magdalene’s portrayal in the gnostic gospels as a teacher in her own right and Jesus' intimate partner, the possibility of her life as an alchemist in Egypt, and her last years in Southern France. Find out if Mary Magdalene was the same person as Mary the Prophetess of Egypt and her connection to the mysterious Cathars, Black Madonnas, and Knights Templar. Whether looking at Mary Magdalene, Sophia, Aphrodite, Inanna, Hathor, Isis, or the goddesses of esoteric Hinduism, Dr. Kujawa finds the archetype of The Other Goddess-the bearer of the mysteries of sexual alchemy that ends the division between sexuality and spirituality.

        Migräne

        by Dr. Peter Hermes

        Migräne: eine neue Behandlung für einen alten Fluch Wie kann ein kleines Loch im Herzen ein verheerendes Migränesyndrom verursachen? Von Dr. Peter Hermes Etwa 15 % der allgemeinen Bevölkerung der „zivilisierten“ Welt leidet unter Migräne. Etwa 50 % der Menschen, die unter Migräne leiden, werden niemals korrekt diagnostiziert, und nur die Hälfte derer, bei denen eine Migräne korrekt diagnostiziert wurde, erhält eine geeignete Behandlung. Daher führen etwa 75 % aller Menschen, die unter Migräne leiden, ein elendes Leben in den Klauen schwerer, bedrückender Kopfschmerzen, verbringen einen Großteil ihrer Zeit in dunklen Räumen, isoliert von Lärm und Mitmenschen, müssen sich übergeben und versuchen eine „Wunderdroge“ nach der anderen. Wie kann ein kleines Loch im Herzen (PFO) die Ursache dieses Elends sein? Der Autor schildert die Entdeckung des PFO, die moderne Diagnose, die Beziehung zu verschiedenen Arten des Kopfschmerzes sowie sein häufiges Vorkommen (40 bis 50 % der Menschen, die unter Migräne leiden, haben PFO). Das Buch enthält eine ausführliche Diskussion der neuen Geräte, mit denen dieses „Loch“ im Herzen durch einen Eingriff unter lokaler Betäubung, die weniger als eine Stunde dauert und nur eine Nacht im Krankenhaus erfordert, geschlossen werden kann. Lesen Sie weiter, um die Antwort auf dieses medizinische Rätsel zu finden, das die zivilisierte Welt seit dem Altertum plagt... Dr. Peter Hermes verfügt über einen Abschluss an der Sorbonne, ist Neurologe, der mit führenden medizinischen Zentren und Kopfschmerzkliniken in seiner Heimat Frankreich sowie in Italien, den USA und in Israel zusammen arbeitet. Zusammen mit seinen Kollegen Dr. Anzola, Dr. Onorato und Dr. Santoro konzentriert er sich auf die Beziehung zwischen dem PFO (dem „Loch im Herzen“) und der Migräne. Der Autor reist durch die ganze Welt, kümmert sich um Kranke und Arme in Indien ebenso wie um Reiche und Berühmte in der Park Avenue in New York, die Beduinen von Vaadi Naaman in Israel und die Migränekranken in Tel Aviv. Er teilt seine Zeit zwischen seinen Patienten in Israel und Italien, wo er außerdem ein erfolgreiches Musikfestival leitet.

        Migraines

        by Dr. Peter Hermes

        Migraines : Un nouveau traitement pour un ancien fléau. Un petit trou dans le cœur peut être à l’origine du terrible syndrome migraineux ? par Dr. Peter Hermes (Originalement écrit en français) Les migraines touchent à peu près 15% de la population générale du monde dit « civilisé ». La moitié des « migraineux » ne sont pas diagnostiqués de façon correcte et seulement 50% parmi ceux qui ont reçu un diagnostic correct reçoivent des traitements appropriés. Donc à peu près 75% des « migraineux » vivent un enfer au quotidien, isolés dans des chambres obscures, loin des bruits et des gens, atterrés par un mal de tête violent et brutal, en proie à des vomissements, et essayant chaque nouveau médicament miraculeux qui vient de sortir sur le marché. Est-ce possible qu’un tout petit trou dans la paroi cardiaque soit a l'origine de toutes ces misères ? L'auteur vous fait voyager à travers ce processus qui mène à la découverte du PFO, et de son diagnostic moderne, et vous explique sa relation avec les divers types de migraine et met en évidence sa grande fréquence chez les patients (à peu près 40-50 % des migraineux sont porteurs d'un PFO). Un chapitre entier est dédié à la description des nouvelles prothèses cardiaques dont l’implantation demande seulement une nuit d'hospitalisation et se fait sous anesthésie locale dans des centres spécialisés, et cela en moins d'une heure ! Lisez la suite du livre qui vous apportera des réponses, et peut être un soulagement au grand problème de la migraine, qui hante le monde « civilisé » depuis bien longtemps ! Le Dr. Hermès diplômé de la faculté de médecine de Paris (La Sorbonne) est un neurologue spécialisé dans le traitement des migraines et des troubles cardiaques liés à la migraine. Il a travaillé dans des centres hospitaliers en France, en Italie, aux États Unis et en Israël. En collaboration avec ses collègues Italiens, Dr. Anzola, Dr. Onorato et Dr. Santorro, il a focalisé son travail sur la relation entre PFO (« le trou du coeur ») et les migraines et a publié de nouveaux et passionnants résultats. Grand voyageur, il a soigné des pauvres et des malades en Inde, des riches et des célèbres sur Park Avenue à New York , des bédouins de Vadi Naaman en Israël et des « migraineux » de Tel Aviv. Il partage son temps entre ses malades à Tel Aviv et en Italie où il dirige un festival de musique à grand succès.
