This is a podcast on the Clinical Pharmacology that is relevant to the treatment of cardiac failure. In this podcast we shall be covering the therapeutics of: * Acute/Decompensated cardiac failure * Chronic cardiac failure Once again we shall be using this as a means to discuss certain drugs, here ACE-inhibitors, ARBs, beta-blockers, spironolactone and digoxin.  

Poster presentation delivered at the AMEE 2009 Conference, focussing on work undertaken by St George’s committed to ensuring access to undergraduate healthcare courses is equitable. We recognise that the requirement for potential applicants to undertake and reflect on relevant work experience can be a barrier for under-represented groups. Such applicants are less likely to have social connections to support their preparation for application Building on our innovative use of e-learning technologies, we have developed a website for potential applicants offering essential information and guidance about finding and reflecting on work experience to support students’ preparation for application and interview Students from all backgrounds have access to information to support work experience and enhance their preparation for university application. The structured reflective tools include a journal template for download and online blogging, which were discussed during the session.  

This is a basic introduction of some of the drugs used in various forms of shock.    

This slide presentation by Dr. Julie Brahmer, medical oncologist and lung cancer expert at Johns Hopkins University, reviews the factors to be considered in the selection of agents and timing of treatments given after first line therapy for advanced NSCLC.

In this podcast, Drs. Andrew Cutler and Stephen M. Stahl debate how to achieve the optimum outcome in mood disorders. They describe rational combinations of mood stabilizing drugs and highlight some dangerous combinations, including when and why to avoid them.  

In this podcast, Drs. Andrew Cutler and Stephen M. Stahl describe the efficacy of atypical antipsychotics as mood stabilizers and discuss dosing practices for these agents from a disease-state-dependent perspective.  

In this podcast, Drs. Andrew Cutler and Stephen M. Stahl differentiate between both pharmacological and clinical properties of different classes of mood stabilizers, and discuss examples of when one might choose one class of mood stabilizer over another.  

Dr Stanzani explains that fungal cells are very similar to human cells, and that drugs which are toxic to fungals cells may have the same effect on human cells. Mortality in invasive aspergillosis depends largely on the timing of the intervention, timely diagnosis and the state of the patient’s defences – treatment is much more effective when people have an intact immune system.  

Antifungal drugs (e.g. Itraconazole, Voriconazole and Posaconazole) have a variable and unpredictable dose–concentration relationship, and therefore need careful concentration management. Problems may occur whether the concentration is either too low or too high, and it is difficult to maintain a concentration that falls within the therapeutic window.
