This Companion is designed for professionals who devote their efforts to providing high quality care for older people. We hope that it will be particularly useful in aged care facilities, where drug treatment often plays an important role in maintaining or improving the welfare of the residents. It is not intended to be a textbook of geriatric medicine or a comprehensive pharmacopoeia. Rather, the topics included reflect some of the most common illnesses and problems requiring drug treatment that confront the aged.
It is a comprehensive reference of over 500 injectable medicines, including 82 cancer therapies and more than 240 monographs with information about use in infants and children. This ninth edition includes over 60 new medicine monographs and expanded paediatric information to cover intramuscular and subcutaneous routes.
With over 460,000 company profiles, including 2,000 with deep links to related content and statistical data, Gale Business Insights: Global provides daily updates to keep up with the ever-changing corporate landscape. Includes: Profiles of every U.N. recognized country including 90+ Economist Intelligence Unit reports; SWOT reports (quarterly updates), GlobalData industry research reports; Plunkett industry reports; market share and business rankings; company histories and chronologies; global company, country, and business topic overviews with quick links; full-text articles; case studies; business executive video interviews; interactive LiveCharts; and more.
