The Pharmacological Basis for Therapeutics
Abstract
The first edition of this textbook of pharmacology and therapeutics was published in 1940. Since that time it has become the standard and classic text of pharmacology around the world. The sixth edition has been carefully written, organized, and edited, as in past editions. There are 70 chapters and three appendices, half of which have been rewritten and the rest updated. A new section has been added on toxicology. The chapters on local anesthetics and antihistamines provide a historical perspective and an updated evaluation of mechanism of action, effectiveness, and toxicity. Section XIV is devoted to antimicrobial agents. It is quite exhaustive and will serve as a reference source for an in-depth understanding of antibiotic use. Section XIII, on antineoplastic agents, has an excellent introduction reviewing the cell cycle and site of chemotherapeutic drug action that should be reviewed by all otolaryngologists interested in the care of cancer patients.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
