Abstract:
Every December, pharmacologists and toxicologists of Australia and New Zealand gather for the Australasian Society of Clinical and Experimental Pharmacologists and Toxicologists annual scientific meeting. The 2001 meeting highlighted the areas of cardiovascular research and neurodegeneration and neuroprotection. Cardiovascular researchers are investigating such areas as drugs for pulmonary hypertension, links between superoxide dismutase and cardiovascular disease, and angiogenesis. There was considerable discussion as to why neuroprotective agents that are so promising in animals fail in the clinic. Potential new agents and new targets for neuroprotection were also considered.

Pharmacovigilance
This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.

Pharmacodynamics: Overview and Principles
Most drugs' effects result from their interactions with drug receptors or targets within the body. These interactions trigger specific responses at the cellular or systemic level. Drug receptors can be found on the surfaces of cells or within...
