The principles and formulation of lipid-based drug delivery systems With its promise for improving drug absorption, the emerging field of lipid-based drug delivery systems has attracted considerable attention from academia to industry. Filling the need for a standard text on the subject, this book assembles a group of experienced investigators and educators from the front line of pharmaceutical sciences to provide a comprehensive resource on the fundamentals, formulation, and biopharmaceutical issues of lipid-based drug delivery. Presenting a solid grounding in the fundamental principles of lipid absorption in the intestines and vascular body systems, the text gives readers in-depth insight into the formulation issues, such as dissolution testing and stability testing, and physiological and biopharmaceutical issues, including the role of specific enzymes, the evaluation of transport systems in the body, and the mechanisms governing the transport of water-insoluble drugs.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the Western world. Its incidence has gradually been rising and, since the introduction of screening mammography in the 1980s, its growth has even accelerated. Moreover, in some regions of Asia, a surge in incidence has also occurred and has been attributed, at least in part, to a "Westernization" of lifestyle. Recently, it has been observed in several countries that the mortality associated with breast cancer is dropping. This may be due to changes in the biology of tumors (e.g., a greater proportion of estrogen-receptor-positive tumors), earlier presentation as a result of screening and education of the public, and improvements in treatment. About one third to one half of patients with breast cancer benefit from these improvements, so -- with such a common disease -- modern management that incorporates these improvements can affect the lives of many women. The goal of Roses's Breast Cancer is to present current issues in the diagnosis and managemen

This book offers an introduction to the history ofuniversity-trained physicians from the middle ages to theeighteenth-century Enlightenment. These were the elite, inreputation and rewards, and they were successful. Yet we can formlittle idea of their clinical effectiveness, and to modern eyestheir theory and practice often seems bizarre. But the historicalevidence is that they were judged on other criteria, and theargument of this book is that these physicians helped to constructthe expectations of society - and met them accordingly. The mainfocus is on the European Latin tradition of medicine, reconstructedfrom ancient sources and relying heavily on natural philosophy forits explanatory power. This philosophy collapsed in the 'scientificrevolution', and left the learned and rational doctor in crisis.The book concludes with an examination of how this crisis was met -or avoided - in different parts of Europe during theEnlightenment.
