Product Description:
"The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients" is internationally recognised as the authoritative source of information on pharmaceutical excipients. "The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients" is a comprehensive guide to the uses, properties and safety of pharmaceutical excipients and is an essential reference for those involved in the development, production, control or regulation of pharmaceutical preparations. The handbook collects together essential data on the physical properties of excipients as well as providing information on their safe use and potential toxicity. All monographs are also thoroughly cross-referenced and indexed to allow their identification by chemical, non-proprietary or trade names.
Summary: It’ all right !
Rating: 5
It is a very usefull book for pharmaceutical specialists. It is a good which
help us very much.
Summary: Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients
Rating: 5
This is an excellent book that contains every phamaceutical excipient that I have ever had the need to know about. I work for a dietary supplement manufacturer and we quite often get calls from customers that want to know all about all those "other ingredients" that are listed on product cartons. The book has a section for each excipient and each excipient has the following sections: Nonproprietary Names, Synonyms, Chemical Name and CAS Registry Number, Empirical Formula and Molecular Weight, Structural Formula, Functional Category, Applications in Pharmaceutical Formulation or Technology, Description, Pharmacopeial Specifications, Typical Properties, stability and Storage Conditions, Incompatibilities, Method of Manufacture, Safety, Handling Precautions, Regulatory Status, Pharmacopeias, Related Substances, Comments, Specific References, General References, and Authors. While I have a background in Biology, I found several of the sections to be easy to understand by several of our employees that do not have a science background. While, still, there was highly technical/scientific information as well. Each excipient’s information is contained in 2-4 pages. The book is arranged alphabetically which makes finding information easy. In addition, it contains an index that is very well constructed. For example: If you are looking for an Emulsifying Agent, the index lists all the excipients that can be used for that purpose. I can’t say enough how easy this book is to use. Its information is pared down to the essential text, and is chocked full of graphs, charts and microscopic photos of the excipients.

Modeling and Simulation of Capsules and Biological Cells


In the past three decades, considerable progress has been made in the mathematical analysis, modeling, and simulation of the fluid dynamics of liquid capsules and biological cells. In this book, leaders in the field explore topics related to the modeling and numerical simulation of capsule fluid dynamics and cell biomechanics. Providing an outstanding overview of the subject, the authors include results from their own ongoing research. The book covers the fundamentals of cell and membrane mechanics, modeling hydrodynamics under various flow conditions, and drop and bubble dynamics associated with temperature variations and surfactant transport. The clear exposition and stand-alone format provided by Modeling and Simulation of Capsules and Biological Cells puts state-of-the-art information in a single source that will undoubtedly motivate further work in this developing field.

Clinical Trial Risk Managment



After reading this book, you will know how to:
# Prepare a Risk Assessment
# Design an Impact-Probability Matrix
# Compile a Risk Register
# Run a Monte Carlo Simulation
# Set up a Project Decision Tree
# Plan preventative and contingency actions.
The stand-alone chapters provide easy access to topics, while anecdotal and visual examples make them easy to remember. Martin Robinson and Simon Cook deliver a clear interpretation of complex information, thus saving you the time it would take to wade through a lengthier text, adopting a straightforward approach to examining clinical trials from a risk manager’s perspective. A practical, readable guide, the book is filled with information that can be put to immediate use to improve current or planned clinical trials.
