Prompt Medicine: Human–AI Collaboration in Clinical Practice, Research, Education, and Healthcare Leadership

Third edition · 2026

First published 2023

Medicine's next core skill isn't a new drug or device — it's knowing how to work with AI. Artificial intelligence is already in the clinic, the lab, the lecture hall, and the boardroom. This fully rewritten third edition moves beyond prompt tricks and builds the durable competencies of human–AI collaboration. Built around enduring skills that stay relevant as AI tools evolve. Puts verification at the center — the one safety skill that separates clinicians who thrive with AI from those who get burned by it. Spans your whole professional life: clinical practice, research and medical writing, education, and healthcare leadership. Grounded in real patient-safety cases, worked examples, and exercises you can apply immediately.

Clinico-Basic Pharmacology

Seventh edition · 2026

First published January 1992

A complete basic and clinical pharmacology review in one volume, for students who have to pass examinations and clinicians who have to prescribe. Every chapter moves from receptor to regimen: how a drug works, what it treats, what it does to the patient, and what to watch for. Twenty-five systems-based chapters span general pharmacology and the autonomic, cardiovascular, central nervous, endocrine, gastrointestinal, respiratory, antimicrobial, chemotherapeutic and toxicological agents, with comparison tables setting drug classes side by side and an index of close to a thousand entries. Single-best-answer self-assessment closes the text, with a full answer key and page references. The seventh edition adds newer drug classes, pharmacogenomics applied to practice, and updated therapeutic guidance throughout.
