• W175035190 abstract "Faculty in colleges and schools of pharmacy have long recognized the importance of the basic sciences in the education and training of professional pharmacy students. In particular, physiology represents the core of the basic sciences towards understanding pathophysiologic processes, mechanism of drug action and applying rationale pharmacotherapeutic decision-making in the treatment of disease. Pharmacy is no different than many of the other health professions in that students question the value of the rigorous basic science courses. To that end, most, if not all, professional pharmacy programs have formally incorporated clinical relevance or application into the basic science component of their curriculum. Physiology is an obvious choice among the basic science disciplines to use as a starting point with respect to incorporating clinical relevance as well as developing problem-solving skills of the pharmacy student.As noted by the author in the preface of the book, Physiology Case Studies in Pharmacy is a new “case study book that provides an opportunity for integrative thinking in the areas of physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacy.” The book is comprised of 9 chapters, an appendix, and a glossary. Although it is entirely made up of cases, it follows a logical format/structure of what one would expect to see in most physiology textbooks as well as physiology courses. Cellular physiology leads off with a series of cases dealing with a variety of disease states and conditions, focusing primarily on nerve cell function. Chapters 2 and 3 present cases on the 2 major regulatory systems of the body, the nervous and endocrine systems. This is followed by cases on muscle physiology as well as the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, renal, and immune systems in chapters 4 through 9, respectively. The appendix is comprised of brief descriptions of various diagnostic tests and laboratory values pertinent to the cases in the book. Terms used in the cases that most new pharmacy students would be unfamiliar with are defined in the glossary.The cases are well written and straightforward and most are very relevant to the practice of pharmacy. The series of questions within each of the cases are clearly stated and cover a full spectrum from having the student simply define terms up to integrating multiple physiologic concepts and even touching on pharmacology and pharmacotherapeutics. Interestingly, and appropriate towards demonstrating the integrative aspect of organ system physiology as well as pathophysiology, a small number of cases are presented from different perspectives in different chapters. For example, a case on hyponatremia is found in the cellular physiology chapter as well as in the renal system chapter. My main concern with the presentation of this book is that the author states that it is intended as a supplement for physiology and pathophysiology courses. Many of the questions posed in the cases can certainly be addressed by first-year pharmacy students enrolled in a typical physiology course; however, a significant number of the questions appear to be written at a level that could only be adequately answered or discussed by students in a pathophysiology course, or perhaps even in a course such as pharmacology or pharmacotherapeutics. While the appendix is a valuable aspect of the book, it leaves out the description of at least a few diagnostic tests that I feel are of importance to the pharmacy student and practitioner. These include the electrocardiogram (ECG) and pulmonary function tests; specifically, peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR). An answer key is not provided with the book but can be obtained by e-mailing the publisher. This, however, may present a problem in that at the time of the writing of this book review, this reviewer had not yet received a copy of the answer key for evaluation, even though it was requested several months prior. While not the fault of the author, this is a matter that should be addressed as it may be frustrating to faculty members who have an interest in purchasing and using this case studies book.Having taught physiology to pharmacy students for nearly 20 years, I find this case study book an important and valuable addition to the limited resources currently available for incorporating clinical relevance into the basic science component of pharmacy curricula. While many physiology textbooks attempt to provide insights into the clinical relevance and importance of the concepts being presented, most are geared specifically to medical or other health profession students. The author of this case study book has recently published a full-length textbook, Essentials of Human Physiology for Pharmacy. With both the textbook and this case study book, an important step has been taken to provide faculty in colleges and schools of pharmacy with the opportunity to develop their physiology and pathophysiology courses around readily available resources that I believe they will find valuable in the delivery of their courses." @default.
