Get healthy and stay healthy with vitamin D! All over the world, vitamin D defi ciency is one of the most common health problems of our time. Many so-called diseases of civilisation are encouraged by vitamin D defi ciency: heart attack, stroke, diabetes, cancer, multiple sclerosis and osteoporosis, to name just a few. In its third edition after only two years, this indispensable reference has now been expanded with numerous new fi ndings about the healing power of vitamin D, including its infl uence on prenatal programming, pregnancy and the development of our genes. The importance of the sunshine vitamin in connection with disease risk and progress is examined, including diabetes, Hashimoto‘s thyroiditis, human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, vaginal infections (e.g. vaginitis) and cancer (for example breast and skin cancer). The interplay of vitamin D and the protective factor vitamin K is also examined. In this book, the reader can learn how to successfully guard against disease, improve quality of life with vitamin D and optimise therapy for existing diseases.

„Congratulations to the authors on an excellent, fasci-nating and informative book that can be whole-heartedly recommended to a broad readership.“ (Prof. Dr. med.

J. Reichrath, Saarland University Medical Center)

Drugs as Micronutrient ThievesWhat your doctor and pharmacist should let you know

By Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Klaus Kisters.

2015. 191 pages. 62 colour fi gures. 13 colour tables. Softcover. € 7,50 [D]ISBN 978-3-8047-3267-4

Caution! Vitamin and mineral thieves! Often, we have to take medication on a regular basis, whether in the form of contraceptives, antibiotics, high blood pressure medicine, cholesterol-lowering agents, diabetes drugs, diuretics, cancer drugs, gastrointestinal preparations or osteoporosis treatment, but many of these medicines can rob us of important vitamins and minerals.

Drug-induced micronutrient defi ciency is often the unrecognised cause of drug side eff ects. Symptoms such as fatigue, depression, poor concentration, irritability, sleeping problems and even dementia can be the result.

But you can do something about it. Patients who are informed about possible consequences can prevent side eff ects and optimise their drug therapy. This guide will show you what to look out for and how to improve your quality of life.

Pharmacists who do not require certifi cation, though, can bypass some of the more complicated process documentation demanded by a “big” QM system.

QM Basic zeroes in on core processes in the pharmacy: the pharmacist’s tasks and business matters. In doing so, it means that you can comply with the ApBetrO with the least possible eff ort. With QM Basic, you can draw up your own personalised QM handbook quickly and easily. The complete handbook template can be downloaded from www.Online-PlusBase.de.

Your companion through the yearThe Calendar for Pharmacists for the year 2015 will accompany you through the entire year with 12 attractive full-colour plates. Almost all of the objects shown in the calendar are from the German Pharmacy Museum, where the curators have searched through the museum’s extensive collection to unearth fascinating pieces that we are privileged to present to the public for the very fi rst time. Rare advertising posters and exquisitely designed packages delight the eye, long-forgotten medications convey a real sense of pharmaceutical history, and playful punch spirits are as delightful as any Miss December.

The Race against MalariaThe history of synthetic anti-malaria drugs

By Ute Jutta Götz.

2014. 429 pages. (Quellen und Studien zur Geschichte der Pharmazie, vol. 102). Softcover. € 24,95 [D]ISBN 978-3-8047-3300-8

Malaria, arguably the oldest disease to plague mankind, has yet to be defeated in spite of international eff orts. The study presented here examines the history of the development of synthetic anti-malaria drugs, which all represent only partial victories in the race against resistance. The investigation focusses on pharmaceutical research from the 1920’s to the end of the Second World War, when Germany achieved a breakthrough in chemo-therapy against malaria. The book also takes a look at the international research eff orts leading to the development of modern chemical anti-malaria agents. The book presents an overview of the most important innovative structures up to the present. The description of the development, investigation and marketing of anti-malaria drugs against the background of the political, economic and social conditions of their day are rounded off by twelve biographies of selected researchers who worked successfully in the fi eld.

A History of German Marine Pharmacy 1871–1945Pharmaceutical care for the German navy from the Empire to the Third Reich

By Frederik Vongehr.

2014. 628 pages. 73 fi gures. (Quellen und Studien zur Geschichte der Pharmazie, vol. 103). Softcover. € 48,50 [D]ISBN 978-3-8047-3317-6

For the fi rst time, this study investigates all the available sources on the history of German naval pharmaceutical care from the creation of the German Reich in 1871 until the end of the Second World War in 1945.

An evaluation of the ship pharmacies of the sailing corvette Elisabeth, various warships and the famous battleships Bismarck and Tirpitz shows how the medical arsenal on board developed and what experience the German navy made with the medicines taken on international voyages. The author also describes everyday pharmaceutical and medical care during wartime, for example the fi ght against malaria or the treatment of pain and wounds during the Battle of Jutland in 1916. The great demands placed on pharmacists and the confl icts with public health authorities are depicted as well.

Biology for the CluelessAn introductory aid for students

By Dr. Christa Söhl.

2nd revised edition 2015. Approx. XII, 330 pages. 141 colour fi gures. 19 colour tables. Softcover. € 29,80 [D]ISBN 978-3-7776-2392-4

Mitochondria, Mendel’s laws, Muscle contractions – Didn’t I read about that somewhere!? As the study of life itself, biology is the branch of science that touches us most directly. But biology in the school classroom and at university rapidly progresses beyond just the birds and the bees. The technical terms multiply, and the subject starts to become diffi cult.

Biology for the Clueless was designed to be an expert companion for high school students and beginning university students with a minor in biology. Students in bachelor’s and master’s programmes in biology will also fi nd it useful for reviewing and polishing up old material. More than 200 exercises with solutions help to consolidate the knowledge.

From the contents: cell biology | metabolism | nervous and sensory physiology | muscles and locomotion | the hormone system | reproduction and ontogenesis | genetics | immune defenses | behavior | ecology | evolution

Genetics for the CluelessAn introductory aid for students

By Prof. Dr. Michaela Aubele.

2nd revised and enlarged edition 2015. XII, 192 pages. 52 colour fi gures. 3 colour tables. Softcover. € 24,80 [D]ISBN 978-3-7776-2393-1

Understanding the world of DNA Over the last few years, genetics has taken centre stage in public attention, but also plays a major role in specialties such as biochemistry, pharmacy, agricultural science and medicine, where a basic knowledge of genetics is now a prerequisite. Often, the pace of classroom instruction has become too rapid even for biology students.

This book gives you a compact introduction to the basics in genetics. It can be used as an introduction, a study aid, or a quick review. A previous knowledge of genetics is useful, but not absolutely necessary – with this book, even the “clueless” can get a grip on genetics.

From the contents: the cell | genetic material | genome structures | replication | cell cycles and cell division | recombination | transcription – RNA processing – translation | regulation | signal transduction | mutation | DNA repair mechanisms | formal genetics | Mendelian inheritance
