Farmacotherapie bij kinderen [Pharmacotherapy in Children]by Mirjam van het Loo; Ineke van Beusekom; Ingrid Geesink; James P. Kahan
RAND Corporation 2002; US$ 9.95This study aims to identify which medications deserve priority for clinical research in the short term. The authors found that a lot of knowledge is already available and needs dissemination rather than further research. However, clinical research on the safety, effectiveness and long term effects of many medications have not been studied yet in children. more...
Anticancer Agents from Natural Productsby Gordon M. Cragg
CRC Press 2005; US$ 179.95Investigating clinical anticancer agents that are natural products, or are clearly derived from natural product leads, this text also examines drug candidates currently in clinical development which have potential for future use. more...
