The Chronic Diseases, their Peculiar Nature and their Homeopathic Cure.

The Chronic Diseases, their Peculiar Nature and their Homeopathic Cure.
by Dr Samuel Hahnemann

Translated from the second enlarged German edition of 1835, by Prof. Louis H. Tafel. With annotations by Richard Hughes, M. D., Edited by Pemberton Dudley, M. D.

Whatever estimate Science may finally place upon the discoveries and doctrines of Hahnemann, and whatever measure of confidence in his therapeutic belief Posterity may accord or withhold, his personality and work have achieved a position which must render them perpetually historic. His teachings have been so interwoven with the entire fabric of medical progress during the last hundred years, and are so interlaced with the formative development of the incoming century, that neither the wear and tear of time nor the dissections of criticism will ever be able to dissociate them. They are destined, inevitably, to run through the texture of every page in the future annals of medicine.

Quality Assurance in the Analytical Chemistry Laboratory

Analytical chemical results touch everyones lives can we eat the food? do I have a disease? did the defendant leave his DNA at the crime scene? should I invest in that gold mine? When a chemist measures something how do we know that the result is appropriate? What is fit for purpose in the context of analytical chemistry? Many manufacturing and service companies have embraced traditional statistical approaches to quality assurance, and these have been adopted by analytical chemistry laboratories. However the right chemical answer is never known, so there is not a direct parallel with the manufacture of ball bearings which can be measured and assessed. The customer of the analytical services relies on the quality assurance and quality control procedures adopted by the laboratory. It is the totality of the QA effort, perhaps first brought together in this text, that gives the customer confidence in the result. QA in the Analytical Chemistry Laboratory takes the reader through all aspects of QA, from the statistical basics and quality control tools to becoming accredited to international standards. The latest understanding of concepts such as measurement uncertainty and metrological traceability are explained for a working chemist or her client. How to design experiments to optimize an analytical process is included, together with the necessary statistics to analyze the results. All numerical manipulation and examples are given as Microsoft Excel spreadsheets that can be implemented on any personal computer. Different kinds of interlaboratory studies are explained, and how a laboratory is judged in proficiency testing schemes is described. Accreditation to ISO 17025 or OECD GLP is nearly obligatory for laboratories of any pretension to quality. Here the reader will find an introduction to the requirements and philosophy of accreditation. Whether completing a degree course in chemistry or working in a busy analytical laboratory, this book is a single source for an introduction into quality assurance.

Practical Guidelines on Pharmaceutical Procurement for Countries with Small Procurement Agencies

Procurement is an important step for efficient drug management and supply, and has become a routine procedure in the existing drug management system in many countries. An effective procurement process ensures the availability of the right drugs in the right quantities, at reasonable prices, and at recognizable standards of quality. Problems can often be encountered if procurement is carried out without such a systematic process, for instance the needed medicines are out of stock, overstocks and wastage of resources, and purchase of low quality products.
Given the impact of procurement activities on the operation and effectiveness of health services, it is essential that these activities be performed by trained staff using sound procedures. Effective procurement is a collaborative process between the procurement office, with needs of trained staff and an appropriate management system, and committees which make decisions as to which drugs to buy, in what quantities and from which suppliers.
This booklet is especially intended for countries with small procurement agencies. It is intended to provide practical guidelines for the procurement process. Pre-qualification of suppliers receives special attention as a means of ensuring the purchase of products of good quality. An effective procurement process will make an important contribution to the establishment of a reliable and good quality health service.
WHO’s work in essential drugs is designed to support Member States to ensure the accessibilty of good quality essential medicines that are affordable and are rationally used. I hope this booklet will help the users to improve the efficiency of their drug supply systems through effective procurement.

HPLC: A Practical Guide (Chromatography Monographs)

This book answers two basic questions regarding chromatography; it focuses on how compounds can high-performance liquid be separated and on why particular compounds are separated by liquid chromatographic methods. It consists of six chapters: Basic Concepts of HPLC; Instrumentation: Preparation, Testing and Selectivity of Stationary Phase Materials; Selection of the Eluent; Separation Based on an Improved Column Efficiency; Influence of
Physical Chemistry on Separations in Liquid Chromatography. The focus is on the basic considerations in liquid chromatography rather than the applications but there are also sections on trouble-shooting. The book is concerned mainly with the selection of a packing material and the preparation of the eluent. Theoretical optimization is demonstrated using the chromatography of simple chemicals, to aid the understanding of liquid chromatography by graduate students. The examples given go beyond what can be found in general textbooks
on liquid chromatography. The separations can be easily understood from the differences in properties of familiar compounds known to undergraduate students.
The chromatographic separations described are based on solubility using molecular properties. The selection of chromatographic mode and column is analysed using solubility parameters. The separation factor cc is described in detail by physical and chemical parameters. Discussion of instrumentation focuses on high-efficiency operation and is concerned with degassing, the time constant, flow cell design, connectors and trouble-shooting. Packing materials and their synthesis and surface modification, liquid chromatographic analysis of surface activity and the evaluation of packed columns, including the measurement of void volume, are also considered.
