- Book[editors], Vikas Dhikav, Kuljeet Singh AnandSummary: "Principles and Practice of Neuropsychopharmacology: A Clinical Reference for Residents, Physicians, and Biomedical Scientists is a concise yet comprehensive book that discusses the drugs used in the treatment of neurological and psychiatric diseases from the perspective of practicing clinicians. There is a considerable overlap between these two specialties as neurologists often use the medicines used by psychiatrists and vice versa. This book addresses the merger of topics of mutual interest for them in a single volume of contemporary pharmacology. It provides detailed coverage of pharmacotherapy of neurological and psychiatric disorders in general practice. The content has been made more accessible with the judicious use of tables and figures, case examples, and details of neurochemical alterations. The book is useful for both beginners and advanced readers as it details clinical practices followed in dealing with psychiatric patients in developing nations like India to enhance practice-oriented learning and provides evidence-based guidelines from world’s leading medical bodies." - Provided by publisher.

Cognitive enhancers. - ArticleNicholson WL.J Microsc. 1978 Aug;113(3):223-39.The purpose of the paper is twofold: first, to describe the aspects of quantitative microscopy where statistical ideas are being applied today; and second, to describe some ways in which more complete use of statistics could improve quantitative microscopy. The typical estimation problem in quantitative microscopy is described with emphasis on the modelling of variability in estimation. A Poisson field model for imbedded particulates is used to illustrate the value of theoretical treatments of variability. Sampling, estimation and multivariate analysis are cited as areas of statistics presently used by quantitative microscopists. The potential role of statistics in quantitative microscopy is discussed. Examples from particle sizing and characterization of alveolar lung structure illustrate the value of statistical ideas. Automatic image analysers, while making the collection of large amounts of data feasible, have complicated statistical estimation. An investigation of the size distribution of random chord lengths through alveolar chambers illustrates how statistical methodology must be modified for valid inference.
