beta lactam antibiotics, as well as advances in antiviral and anthelminthic agents. The book provides an up to date account of the role of antimicrobial agents (A) against bacteria, viruses, protozoa, fungi, and helminths; A assays, interactions, sensitivity testing; resistance to A; pharmacokinetics, prescribing, adverse reactions, chemoprophylaxis; treatment of infections of;- respiratory tract, urinary tract, GI, bacteraemia and endocarditis, skin and soft tissue, bone and joints, mycobacteria, meningitis and brain abcess, viruses, VD, parasitic disease, topic use, the development and marketing of A. It includes treatment of Legionnaires disease. AIDS and salmonellosis.
A given dose of a drug can have a greater or lesser effect depending on the time of day when it is administered. This volume reviews the general aspects of chronopharmacokinetics with regard to absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination; surveys the tempera1 effects of drugs given for the treatment of asthma and allergic diseases; cancer; cardiovascular drugs; anti-inflammatory, analgesics and anaesthetics; endocrinology; nephrotoxicity of heavy metals and antibiotics; and embryotoxicity.

Approximately one fetus is aborted for every child born in western countries; 4C-90% of pregnant women consume one or more medications during pregnancy; many women take medication before they know that they are pregnant. This book is designed to give more information on the risks of drug consumption during pregnancy. The main sections are; drugs in pregnancy (includes a list of 102 drugs toxic to the fetus with alternative safer medication); poisoning and radiation in pregnancy; genetic and obstetric considerations; organizations and operation of teratogenic information services.
