Clinical Pharmacology - An Essence

Clinical pharmacologists are the wonder kids of the medical world. On their shoulders is the responsibility of integrating the know how of chemistry with the working knowledge of the human body and its physiological reactions to chemical compounds. This enables them to create and deliver the most optimal medications for various illnesses.

Clinical pharmacologists can be either doctors who have opted the specialization of pharmacology or can be researchers in the field itself, without a doctor background. Both types are well versed in human physiology and the workings and interactions of the body?s systems and organs. This allows them to synthesize the medicine according to the function and act in a manner that elicits the desired response from the tissue. These principal cores, coupled with the pillars of pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics and dosage forms enable the clinical pharmacologists to bridge the gap between clinic and lab to bring top notch pharmaceuticals to cure the patient.

HAEMOTOLOGY : BLOOD, AND MORE

We can all guess that haemotology has something to do with blood, because we have been hearing the word “haemoglobin” since as long as we can remember. Our memory serves us correctly as haemotology is the study of morphology, which is, the structure as well as the components of blood. Blood is a very complex entity and is made up of several parts like platelets, blood cells, blood proteins, bone marrow, and spleen. Looking at this information, it makes the fact that complications in blood composition can easily arise as a result of genetics, unhealthy lifestyle or pure bad luck, all the more easy to believe.

There are a number of diseases that originate in the blood like leukemia, thalassemia, anemia, blood clotting and what not. It is therefore always advisable to keep a regular check on our blood composition by getting lab check ups and keeping our doctors constantly in the loop. This is not paranoia. It is a simple precaution to ensure we have no unpleasant surprises further along the road because blood related diseases come with no warning and recuperation has unfavorable and most likely, next to impossible odds of happening.

We should use technological advancement to our advantage and first gather knowledge about blood and related diseases and secondly, we should also use it to look up doctors online who can help us take better care of ourselves.   By - Sukanya
