Dressman: Oral Drug Absorption: Prediction & Assessment 2nd Edition with DVD

Ten years ago, the first edition of Oral Drug Absorption was published with the intent of closing the gap between gastroenterology textbooks on the physiology of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and pharmaceutical textbooks on oral drug formulations. In the ensuing years, the field of oral drug absorption has evolved significantly on several fronts. First, there has been acceptance and increasing implementation of the biopharmaceutics classification scheme (BCS) concept, both at the regulatory and drug development levels. Second, application of biorelevant media to better understand active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) behavior in the GI tract has become widespread, not only for solubility and dissolution, but also for permeability applications. Third, the role of transporters in drug uptake across the GI mucosa has been recognized and is under intensive investigation. The same applies to drug metabolism in the gut wall, and within the next decade, we should be able to quantitatively describe both of these phenomena as they relate to prediction of API bioavailability. Fourth, our understanding of GI hydrodynamics and the availability of fluid in the various segments of the GI tract is slowly but surely improving. Fifth, there is a very strong interest in applying physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling to oral drug absorption; this has become possible with the advent of sophisticated software programs like GastroPlus1 and PK-Sim1 and will surely become one of our most powerful tools in the years to come. And last but not least, the quality by design paradigm has aroused interest in new techniques to better link the composition and manufacture of oral drug products with their in vivo performance.

As a result of all these developments, it is high time to bring out a second edition of Oral Drug Absorption that captures the rapid progress in the field. In this edition, we start out with a chapter on the fundamentals of GI physiology— as it relates to oral drug absorption—and in the first section, we describe several aspects in more detail in chapters specifically addressing absorption mechanisms, GI motility, gut wall metabolism, food effects, and drug absorption in children and various disease states. The second section focuses on the BCS and the impact it is making on pharmaceutical R&D and regulation of oral drug products. Additionally, separate chapters are devoted to the measurement and interpretation of the key BCS parameters, solubility and permeability. The third section, entitled ‘‘Nonclinical Methods to Evaluate Oral Formulations,’’ first describes appropriate dissolution tests to characterize formulations in preclinical development—be they intended for immediate or controlled release in the GI tract. Then state of the art practice for formulation screening and development in the industry is recounted for immediate release products and for controlled release products. This section is wrapped up by a chapter devoted to implementation of PBPK modeling at the preclinical level. The last section turns attention to bioequivalence studies. Increasingly, alternatives to human pharmacokinetic studies are being used to obtain approval of generic drug products and to obtain continued approval for existing products when changes have been made to the composition or method of manufacture. The section is introduced with a chapter providing the fundamentals and current status of bioavailability and bioequivalence. The application of BCS and in vitro–in vivo correlation (IVIVC) to the proof of bioequivalence is then described in separate chapters, and the evolution of regulations pertaining to bioequivalence is put into global perspective. In recognition of the increased interest in application of IVIVC for proof of bioequivalence, we have also provided a CD, which shows the user how to generate IVIVCs utilizing an Excel spreadsheet. Numerous examples are given to illustrate the underlying theory and show how the IVIVC works, and it is hoped that this CD will become an integral part of the toolbox used by pharmaceutical scientists to facilitate formulation design and optimization on a day-to-day basis.

Of course, producing a new edition of a textbook requires the assistance of many people, and Oral Drug Absorption is no exception. We wish to thank Sandy Beberman and Sherri Niziolek for their untiring enthusiasm and support of this project. We are also indebted to the authors for their splendid efforts in preparing chapters that reflect state-of-the-art thinking in oral drug absorption. We also wish to thank our families for their support and understanding that books are largely created in the evenings and on weekends. Finally, we thank the readers of the first edition for the excellent feedback and stimulus to produce an updated version.

Green: Understanding Health Insurance: A Guide to Billing and Reimbursement with CD-ROM

Accurate processing of health insurance claims has become more exacting and rigorous as health insurance plan options have rapidly expanded. These changes, combined with modifications in state and federal regulations affecting the health insurance industry, are a constant challenge to healthcare personnel. Those responsible for processing health insurance claims require thorough instruction in all aspects of medical insurance, including plan options, payer requirements, state and federal regulations, abstracting of source documents, accurate completion of claims, and coding of diagnoses and procedures/services. Understanding Health Insurance provides the required information in a clear and comprehensive manner.

The objectives of this text are to:

• 1. Introduce information about major insurance programs and federal healthcare legislation.
• 2. Provide a basic knowledge of national diagnosis and procedure coding systems.
• 3. Simplify the process of completing claims.

This text is designed to be used by college and vocational school programs to train medical assistants, medical insurance specialists, coding and reimbursement specialists, and health information technicians. It can also be used as an in-service training tool for new medical office personnel and independent billing services, or individually by claims processors in the healthcare field who want to develop or enhance their skills.

AANA Advanced Arthroscopy: The Foot and Ankle (Expert Consult Series) with DVD

The Arthroscopy Association of North America (AANA) is a robust and growing organization whose mission, simply stated, is to provide leadership and expertise in arthroscopic and minimally invasive surgery worldwide.

Towards that end, this five-volume series represents the very best that AANA has to offer the clinician in need of a timely, authoritative, and comprehensive arthroscopic textbook. These textbooks covering the shoulder, elbow and wrist, hip, knee, and foot and ankle were conceived and rapidly consummated over a 15-month timeline. The need for an up-to-date and cogent text as well as a step-by-step video supplement was the driving force behind the rapid developmental chronology. The topics and surgical techniques represent the cutting edge in arthroscopic philosophy and technique, and the individual chapters follow a reliable and helpful format in which the pathoanatomy is detailed and the key elements of the physical examination are emphasized in conjunction with preferred diagnostic imaging. Indications and contraindications are followed by a thorough discussion of the treatment algorithm, both nonoperative and surgical, with an emphasis on arthroscopic techniques. Additionally, a Pearls and Pitfalls section provides for a distilled summary of the most important features in each chapter. A brief annotated bibliography is provided in addition to a comprehensive reference list so that those who want to study the most compelling literature can do so with ease. The supporting DVD meticulously demonstrates the surgical techniques, and will undoubtedly serve as a critical resource in preparing for any arthroscopic intervention.

I am most grateful for the outstanding effort provided by the volume editors: Rick Angelo and Jim Esch (shoulder), Buddy Savoie and Larry Field (elbow and wrist), Thomas Byrd and Carlos Guanche (hip), Rob Hunter and Nick Sgaglione (knee), and Ned Amendola and Jim Stone (foot and ankle). Their collective intellect, skill, and dedicaton to AANA made this series possible. Furthermore, I sincerely thank all the chapter contributors whose expertise and wisdom can be found in every page. Elsevier, and in particular Kim Murphy, Ann Ruzycka Anderson, and Kitty Lasinski, was a delight to work with, and deserves our gratitude for a job well done. I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge that the proceeds of this five-volume series will go directly to the AANA Education Foundation, from which ambitious and state-of-the-art arthroscopic educational initiatives will be funded.
