New Releases by PAUL TURNER

Here is the retreat and catechesis parishes will love to give to everyone in the assembly, a serious booklet that presents Lent as a powerful opportunity for renewal. Individuals can conduct a self-assessment; make resolutions about prayer, fasting and almsgiving; translate resolutions into commitments; reflect on their process in a scripture journal; and prepare for the sacrament of reconciliation.

Each chapter begins with discussion of the physiological and biochemical abnormalities underlying the condition to be treated, followed by a section on the pharmacology of the appropriate drugs. The final section, which has been revised to include new drugs, deals with their clinical application and gives practical advice on the most suitable preparations for treatment.

Provides information for nurses and all paramedical staff, including occupational therapists, social workers and medical students. This handbook is updated annually, enabling the reader to possess an up-to-date listing of approved drugs and be informed of recent discontinuations.

Although the prescribing of medicines is the responsibility of a doctor, the drugs which medicines contain may influence patients in many ways. This book aims to provide information on the various medicines prescribed or bought over the counter, acting as a guide to their actions and effects.
