DAY 1

TEACHING PHARMACOLOGY

Part 1

Pharmacokinetics, genetics, and frenetics...

What students really need to know...For starters, Barb will cover the basics of nomenclature, or the "name game."  Barb will discuss the perils of acetaminophen and the branding of Aspirin. Barb will cover the specifics of Pharmacokinetics with a sub-type known as "pharmaco-geriatrics" and the special problems encountered in the elderly with polypharmacy. Drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion will be discussed with specific drugs and drug classes. Grapefruit juice and the CYP450 enzyme system will also be included. Various receptors (alphas and betas, dopamine, serotonin, cholinergic, and hormone receptors) will also be correlated with "blockers" and "boosters". Anti-cholinergic side effects will be emphasized and repeated as will a few lists of drugs with anti-cholinergic properties.

TEACHING PHARMACOLOGY

Part 2

Understanding neurotransmitters and neuropharmacology.

Enjoy an entire session learning the neurotransmitters and all of the drugs that modulate each transmitter. The neurotransmitters that Barb discusses include: acetylcholine, serotonin, melatonin, dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, GABA, and glutamate. Barb will also correlate various disease processes with each of the above neurotransmitters and the drugs used to treat each of the disease processes. Learn about acetylcholinesterase inhibitors for Alzheimer's and memantine (Namenda); learn about the ubiquitous serotonin-all of her functions, all of her dysfunctions and all of the drugs to treat the various dysfunctions-including depression with the SRIs, the SNRIs, the NRIs, and the infamous "other" category; migraine headaches and the "triptans", and the role of serotonin in vomiting and the "setrons". Barb will discuss the benzodiazepines and their role as anxiolytics/hypnotics-how they are used to treat sleep and alcohol withdrawal; the drugs with "gaba" in their name-gabapentin and pregabalin will also be discussed as will their role in the treatment of chronic pain syndromes, seizure disorders, and fibromyalgia; dopamine's role in health and disease will also be discussed-ADHD drugs, oxycontin and other addicting pain killers, dopamine deficiency and Parkinson's disease as well as the treatment of Parkinson's disease; the role of blocking dopamine and serotonin with the antipsychotics (old and new), dopamine and the GI tract, and dopamine and restless leg syndrome.

DAY 2

TEACHING PHARMACOLOGY

Part 3

Cardiovascular pharmacology.

This is an extensive update on the various classes of drugs used for all the things that ail the cardiovascular system. Barb will cover the "prils" (ACE inhibitors), the "sartans" (ARBs), the "dipines" (calcium channel blockers), "olols, alols, ilols" (the beta blockers), the "statins" (LDL-lowering agents), the "afils" (ED drugs), ASA, clopidogrel, NTG, Dig, diuretics, and Coumadin. A review of a bit of kidney physiology, the "Barb Bancroft way" will explain the functions of ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers. The many uses of ACE inhibitors and ARBs as well as their side effects will be discussed in detail. A review of the definition of blood pressure will be discussed followed by the use of the various classes of drugs for selected patient populations. Complete coverage of the statins and the beta blockers is included as well. Enjoy a few stories about the ED drugs, how to regulate fluctuating INRs, and more...

TEACHING PHARMACOLOGY

Part 4

Diuretics, Hormone therapies, Diabetic drugs. 

Barb discusses the various classes of diuretics and their clinical uses, focusing on the thiazide diuretics and the loop diuretics. How many classes of drugs are there for diabetics? You will find out when Barb describes the numerous choices for oral agents--the pros and cons--as well as the various types of insulin. Hormones for menopause, hormones for oral contraceptives, and hormone replacement for hypothyroidism will also be included. Controversies abound for HT in postmenopausal females--and Barb covers them all. The "dronates" for osteoporosis will also be covered. Drugs for benign prostatic hypertrophy will also be included.

DAY 3

TEACHING PHARMACOLOGY

Part 5

Bugs and drugs.

Barb starts out with a review of vaccines and how vaccines are produced to provide long-term or short-term immunity. New vaccines, old vaccines, and future vaccines will be described. Barb will list the various classes of antibiotics (the "cillins", the "floxacins", the "mycins", and more...) and discuss the role of first, second, third and fourth generation drugs. Anti-herpetic drugs (the "cyclovirs"), anti-fungal drugs (the "conazoles"), and anti-retroviral drugs (including HAART therapy for HIV/AIDS) will be described as well.

TEACHING PHARMACOLOGY

Part 6

GI, GU, G-wheeze; Monoclonal antibodies; asthma; and the bowels...

A discussion of type 1 hypersensitivity reactions will be followed by the two phase response in the asthmatic patient with bronchoconstriction and inflammation as underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms. Treatment of asthma will include a discussion of the "one-airway" theory of treating allergic rhinitis and topical nasal treatments as well as inhalant bronchodilators and topical steroids. Monoclonal antibodies and their many uses will be described as will their nomenclature—in other words, how you can tell what the monoclonal antibody is for based on it's generic name. Proton pump inhibitors, H2 blockers and other GI drugs will be discussed—including new drugs for opiod-induced constipation.
