Comparative Diagnostic Pharmacology: Clinical and Research Applications in Living-System Models – C. P. Coyne

Extensively referenced and organized by major body systems, individual topics are listed in an evidence-based format according to specific disease processes or physiological processes of interest. Each entry also includes information on the mechanism of action, administration, and diagnostic interpretation. Descriptions have been provided for the application of diagnostic pharmaceuticals to assess a wide spectrum of diseases and physiological processes relevant to the fields of veterinary and human medicine. Comparative Diagnostic Pharmacology is useful not merely for pharmaceutical-oriented research investigations, but it will also prove invaluable for the monitoring and evaluation of physiological responses and disease processes in animal models.

• Helps veterinarian to diagnose disease
• Aids in asessment of physiological processes
• Identifies the appropriateness of a therapeutic agent
• Helps determine appropriate dosing for therapeutic use
