Deprescribing and Polypharmacy in an Aging Population supports healthcare professionals across global healthcare institutions in reducing polypharmacy-related drug replated problems (DRPs) by working with patients, families, interprofessional healthcare professionals, and educational institutions to develop, implement, test, improve upon, and educate on strategies for deprescribing and optimizing patient safety. Polypharmacy, the use of multiple medications at the same time by one person, is very common in various patient populations, including those who lack primary physicians, patients with mental health conditions, patients with multiple chronic conditions, and in the aging population.

Modulation of Oxidative Stress: Biochemical, Physiological and Pharmacological Aspects explores the field using an interdisciplinary approach, including chemical, biological, physiological, pharmaceutical, pharmacological and physicochemical perspectives. The book is comprised of three main parts, with the first discussing the biochemical aspects of oxidative stress modulation. Other sections cover physiological and pathophysiological aspects on relevant conditions, including aging, neurological diseases, cerebral cavernous malformation, maternal and early-life malnutrition, Alzheimer’s disease, liver transplant, and cancer. Final content is dedicated to pharmacological aspects and includes chapters on phytotherapy and flavonoids. This book is a strong reference for pharma researchers in academia and industry considering leveraging modulation of oxidative stress as a strategy for the development of new drugs. Biochemists and Nutritionists may also benefit of the foundational understanding of cellular redox processes laid out.
