This informative book discusses the latest research on the risk factors and therapeutics in dementia. WHO calls dementia a public health priority. Dementia manifests as a group of symptoms associated with decline in memory or other thinking skills and is severe enough to reduce a person's ability to perform everyday activities. It occurs frequently among elderly people, but it is not necessarily part of the normal aging process. The book has been divided into two broad sections. The first section reviews the risk factors involved in developing dementia, including various medical conditions, lifestyle choices, as well as genetics. The latter section describes various therapeutic interventions in dementia. Although there is no known cure for dementia, this book underlines the current treatment strategies that could momentarily reduce the symptoms and improve the quality of life of the patients. This book highlights the global effort to find better ways to halt the progression of dementia and develop novel therapeutic strategies.  The book would be an interesting read for advanced graduate students and researchers working in the field of neuroscience, genetics, and medicine. It will generate good interest to neurologists, psychiatrists, geriatricians, cardiologists, internal medicine practitioners, epidemiologist, and public health workers.

Quality is not an accident, it is the outcome of intelligent efforts. The quality of pharmaceutical products is essential to assure the maximum level of patient¿s satisfaction. The most important criteria for the qualities of any pharmaceutical in dosage form are its safety, potency, efficacy, stability, patient acceptability and regulatory compliance. Pharmacopoeias are referred as drug standards. They provide standards, specifications and test methods that are expected to be used in the pharmaceutical industry to ensure the quality of pharmaceuticals. Furthermore, regulatory bodies are continually developing their requirements to ensure the safety, quality and efficacy for pharmaceutical development and manufacturing with respect to time. The main standard for the quality of any pharmaceutical is the intrinsic and extrinsic elements which contribute directly or indirectly to the quality parameters of pharmaceutical. Quality should be incorporated into a drug product during product and process design. The crucial objective of this book is to provide various quality control tests for pharmaceuticals, according to pharmacopoeial standards and specifications.

The field of pharmacy is as old as mankind, yet as new as present-day medicines. The scope of pharmacy practice includes more traditional roles such as compounding and dispensing medications and it also includes more modern services related to health care, including clinical services, reviewing medications for safety and efficacy and providing drug information. Pharmacists, therefore, are the experts on drug therapy. A pharmacist is a drug specialist not disease specialist. Pharmacy is not a single subject it¿s a multidisciplinary subject. To turn into proficient pharmacist, one first need to learn the pharmaceutical, medical and other terms, words and abbreviations linked to the health profession. Most of them used today are derived from Greek and Latin languages. We normally have little knowledge about these languages. Once we learn common terms, words and abbreviations we will be able to understand the world of pharmacy. The foremost objective of this book is to focus on commonly used pharmacomedical terms, words and abbreviations so that pharmacy student can easily interpret and communicate information accurately to become a competent pharmacist.
