Las Sustancias De Los Sueños Neuropsicofarmacologia.

Este libro trata sobre los agentes químicos, fármacos, medicamentos o drogas que tienen efectos en el cerebro, es decir, en el sistema nervioso central (SNC).
Existen sustancias naturales, como el café o el chocolate hasta la morfina o el peyote, y sintéticas que, a causa de sus propiedades fisicoquímicas, interactúan con porciones del cerebro que las reconocen como propias.
El cerebro está lleno de drogas, y gracias a ellas es la maravilla que todos conocemos pero que poco entendemos. Estas "drogas" hacen que el cerebro funcione; producen estimulación e inhibición nerviosas, dos de los elementos fundamentales de la comunicación celular. Con estas sustancias percibimos nuestro ambiente, queremos y odiamos, aprendemos y olvidamos, hablamos y nos movemos. Son sustancias que pueden convertirse en la solución a un problema grave, o en la llave de entrada a los infiernos.

The Dopamine Receptors

As sites of action for drugs used to treat schizophrenia and Parkinson’s disease, dopamine receptors are among the most validated drug targets for neuropsychiatric disorders. Dopamine receptors are also drug targets or potential targets for other disorders such as substance abuse, depression, Tourette’s syndrome, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Updated from the successful first edition, "The Dopamine Receptors" serves as a reference work on dopamine receptors while also highlighting the areas of research that are most active today. To achieve this goal, authors have written chapters that set a broad area of research in its historical context, rather than focusing on the research output of their own laboratories.

Antimicrobial Drug Resistance. Clinical and Epidemiological Aspects, Volume 2

The volumes included in "Antimicrobial Drug Resistance" represent the first comprehensive, multidisciplinary reference covering the area of antimicrobial drug resistance in bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites from basic science, clinical, and epidemiological perspectives. This second volume, "Antimicrobial Drug Resistance, Clinical and Epidemiological Aspects", is devoted to the clinical aspects of drug resistance. Although there is evidence that restricted use of a specific antibiotic can be followed by a decrease in drug resistance to that agent, drug resistance control is not easily achieved. Thus, the infectious disease physician requires input from the clinical microbiologist and infection control specialist to make informed choices for the effective treatment of various strains of drug-resistant pathogens in individual patients.
