Drug Delivery Nanosystems for Biomedical Application reviews some of the most challenging nanosystems with different routes of delivery that are useful for specific drugs, from both efficacy and bioavailability points-of-view. The chapters explore how this area is developing, the present state of the field, and future developments, in particular, inorganic, metallic, polymeric, composite and lipid nanosystems and their possible evolution to clinical applications. The book is a valuable research reference for both researchers and industrial partners who are not only interested in learning about this area, but also want to gain insights on how to move towards translational research.

Emerging Nanotechnologies in Immunology aims to deliver a systematic and comprehensive review of data concerning the nature of interaction and nano-related risks between the nanophamaceuticals currently in the pipeline of S&T development for skin, ocular, and nasal drug delivery, including absorption, toxicity, and the ability to distribute after systemic exposure.The scientific development of manufactured nanomaterials for drug delivery is increasing rapidly. One of the most prominent applications is topical drug delivery, where cutaneous, ocular, and nasal exposure becomes even more relevant. These targets are the first barrier that nanoparticles encounter when in contact with the human body.The contributors addresses a representative set of the broad spectrum of nanopharmaceuticals currently being used, including cationic lipid nanoparticles, polymeric PLGA, PLA nanoparticles, biomacromolecules-ba... nanoparticles, and other scaffolds tissue engineered skin substitutes. Regulation and risk is also covered, since the safety of these nanophamaceuticals still represents a barrier to their wide innovative use.

Register for Recording Purchases and Supplies of Dangerous Drugs is a list of registration forms for use by qualified medical practitioners, dentists, veterinarians, who can possess, supply or prepare dangerous drugs in exercise of their professions. This compilation of registration forms includes extracts from regulations made under the Dangerous Drugs Act, 1920 outlining the withdrawal of authority of an authorized person from by the Secretary of State. This book defines the form of prescription, the provisions as to dispensing of prescriptions, and the keeping of records in the register. This book also requires the authorized practitioners to preserve documents such as all registers, records, books, or prescriptions, as well as lists the preparations exempted from the regulations. These exempted preparations include Pasta Arsenicalis, B.P.C. 1934, Pil. Ipecac. c. Scila, B.P.C. 1934, Pulv. Cretae Aromat. C. Opio, B.P. 1932. The practitioner should scan and consult medical journals from time to time for any announcement of changes in the list of exempted drugs. This book lists forms for purchases and supplies for various drugs such as morphine, diamorphine, cocaine, medicinal opium, Indian hemp, Eucodal, Dicodide, Dilaudide, Desomorphine, and Pethidine. This book is intended for the use of physicians, surgeons, dentists, and veterinarians. It can also benefit pharmacists and pharmacologists.
