I think some people pay extra for this
Posted by enrico | Under Medical and Health Thursday Nov 9, 2006From the “Eicosanoids: Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes, Leukotrienes” chapter of Katzung’s Basic and Clinical Pharmacology:
Intracavernosal [ie, penile] injection or urethral suppository therapy with alprostadil (PGE1) is useful in the treatment of erectile dysfunction, especially in spinal cord injury.
I didn’t even know such a thing existed. Ignorance is bliss.
Aaah, Katzung / Lange Pharm- I have been enjoying this classic piece of fine literature all day, and I am glad to hear that you are too. Today, I bought the flashcards to go along with the BIG and LITTLE books that I already owned, so now I have a complete collector’s set.
Just wait until you start your urology rotation… many many many more fun things to learn….
Punchberry: I too have the “boxed set!” Probably get the most high-yield out of the little Lange, but I can’t help reading the big textbook–I keep finding gems like this one!
keagirl: of that I have no doubt.
