This book provides an overview of the drug discovery process from natural sources such as plants and microbes. While technological advances have streamlined the drug discovery process, enhancing the throughput and success rates, the structural features of natural products remain the primary reference for small-molecule drug discovery.

Focusing on the drug targets blocked/altered by natural/nature-inspired molecules, it covers how potential drug leads are screened and identified using appropriate assay systems, and the current status of drugs identified using such approaches....

Emergence of lifestyle diseases, e.g., type II diabetes, cancers, obesity, cardiovascular disorders, liver cirrhosis, etc., are exponentially increasing day by day. Modern drifts toward the utilization of herbal medicines in different healthcare aspects necessitate (demand) the replacement of synthetic molecules with phytoconstituents because of their biocompatibility, biodegradability, economic extraction process, and ready availability from the natural source. This book provides a thorough insight into the comprehensive and up-to-date trends of phytomedicines in the management of...

This book introduces all common errors in medical science fields and the ways to control them. Systematic errors could be controlled both during study design and statistical analysis. Some errors have been presented in small segments but not in a comprehensive book.

It covers many common errors that usually affect the research proposals, final reports, theses, and scientific presentations in the field of medical sciences as well as the rejection reasons on scientific papers. It will help researchers to control common errors using epidemiological and statistical methods.

This book introduces a fundamental understanding of orthopedic design for both engineers and medical staff. It addresses the gap and mystery that often exists between these two fields and provides a common ground for understanding. The book covers various aspects of orthopedic design, including the anatomy and biomechanics of bones and joints, the materials used in orthopedic devices, and the testing and evaluation of orthopedic devices. It also introduces computer-aided design with additive manufacturing in a practical sense, including the principles of...

This book provides in-depth insights into the pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies of biofilm induced infections. It presents strong interdisciplinary viewpoints on infection biology, pharmacology, drug discovery, diagnosis and therapeutics.

The rising burden of antibiotic resistance induced by bacterial biofilm formations makes it imperative to understand the root cause of infection. Hence, it is necessary to enhance clinical and non-clinical understanding of biofilm development and its role in infectious diseases. This book provides detailed information on the role of biofilm...
