Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Bioética FilosofÃa de la Medicina Clasificación: 610.1 Resumen: Este volumen cubre una amplia gama de temas relacionados con cuestiones metodológicas, epistemológicas y éticas regulatorias en torno a la farmacologÃa. El libro se centra en particular en las diversas fuentes de incertidumbre, los diferentes tipos de incertidumbre que existen y las diversas formas en que se abordan (o podrÃan abordarse) estas incertidumbres. En comparación con las ciencias más básicas, como la quÃmica o la biologÃa, la farmacologÃa trabaja en diversos niveles observables de la realidad: aunque el primer paso en la cadena causal que conduce al resultado terapéutico tiene lugar en el nivel bioquÃmico, el efecto final es clÃnicamente observable. resultado, que está influenciado no sólo por acciones biológicas, sino también por fenómenos psicológicos y sociales. Las cuestiones de causalidad y evidencia deben tratarse teniendo en cuenta estos aspectos especÃficos. Al cubrir estos temas, el libro abre un dominio común de investigación que cruza las dimensiones profundamente entrelazadas de la investigación farmacológica, la regulación farmacéutica y el entorno económico relacionado. El libro es un esfuerzo colectivo con contribuciones profundas de expertos en farmacologÃa, filosofÃa de la medicina, estadÃstica, metodologÃa cientÃfica, epistemologÃa formal y social, que trabajan en un diálogo constante a través de fronteras disciplinarias.

Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : This volume covers a wide range of topics concerning methodological, epistemological, and regulatory-ethical issues around pharmacology. The book focuses in particular on the diverse sources of uncertainty, the different kinds of uncertainty that there are, and the diverse ways in which these uncertainties are (or could be) addressed. Compared with the more basic sciences, such as chemistry or biology, pharmacology works across diverse observable levels of reality: although the first step in the causal chain leading to the therapeutic outcome takes place at the biochemical level, the end-effect is a clinically observable result—which is influenced not only by biological actions, but also psychological and social phenomena. Issues of causality and evidence must be treated with these specific aspects in mind. In covering these issues, the book opens up a common domain of investigation which intersects the deeply intertwined dimensions of pharmacological research, pharmaceutical regulation and the related economic environment. The book is a collective endeavour with in-depth contributions from experts in pharmacology, philosophy of medicine, statistics, scientific methodology, formal and social epistemology, working in constant dialogue across disciplinary boundaries.
