Their new text was first published in 1941 under the title The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics: A Textbook of Pharmacology, Toxicology and Therapeutics for Physicians and Medical Student. [1] Because the volume was twice as long as a typical textbook, Macmillan printed few copies, but demand for a readable, up-to-date pharmacological text ...
In microbiology, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is the lowest concentration of a chemical, usually a drug, which prevents visible in vitro growth of bacteria or fungi.
Topics of pharmacodynamics. Pharmacodynamics (PD) is the study of the biochemical and physiologic effects of drugs (especially pharmaceutical drugs).The effects can include those manifested within animals (including humans), microorganisms, or combinations of organisms (for example, infection).
In pharmacology, potency or biological potency [1] is a measure of a drug's biological activity expressed in terms of the dose required to produce a pharmacological effect of given intensity. [2]
The elimination rate constant K or K e is a value used in pharmacokinetics to describe the rate at which a drug is removed from the human system. [1]It is often abbreviated K or K e.
The Hill equation is used extensively in pharmacology to quantify the functional parameters of a drug [citation needed] and are also used in other areas of biochemistry. The Hill equation can be used to describe dose-response relationships, for example ion channel open-probability (P-open) vs. ligand concentration.
C max is the opposite of C min, which is the minimum (or trough) concentration that a drug achieves after dosing.The related pharmacokinetic parameter t max is the time at which the C max is observed.
After attending R. G. Kar Medical College and Hospital for his undergraduate studies, Ghosh moved on to do his Ph.D. in Pharmacology at the University College London, graduating in 1956. [3] His grandfather Prof. Rakhaldas Ghosh (1851-1902) was the Professor and Head of the Materia Medica (now Dept. of Pharmacology), Calcutta Medical College.
