The instant-answer guide clinicians turn to first for on-the-spot treatment of poisoning and drug overdose emergencies "...a great addition to any emergency department library when rapid reference is needed to treat and diagnose the poisoned patient." -- Annals of Emergency Medicine (Reviewing previous edition) Designed to be used during toxicologic emergencies where every moment counts, Poisoning & Drug Overdose, Seventh Edition delivers critical information on the effective diagnosis and treatment of drug-related emergencies and chemical exposures. This at-a-glance guide is enhanced by detailed tables and charts, extensive cross referencing, and a comprehensive index featuring generic, chemical, and brand names. Poisoning & Drug Overdose is divided into four sections: Section 1 leads readers through initial emergency management, including treatment of coma, hypotension, and other common complications; physical and laboratory diagnosis; and methods of decontamination and enhanced elimination of poisons Section II provides detailed information on 150 common drugs and poisons Section III describes the use and side effects of 60 antidotes and therapeutic drugs Section IV describes the medical management of chemical spills and occupations chemical exposures and includes a table of more than 500 industrial chemicals * Thoroughly updated to reflect newly released drugs, new information on existing drugs, and coverage of the latest black box (and other) warnings * NEW to this edition: information on drug-environmental exposure interactions, coverage of environmental toxins such as mold, asbestos, and others

Fundamentals of Toxicologic Pathology, Third Edition, presents an essential overview of systems toxicologic pathology in a clear-and-concise manner. Toxicologic pathology integrates toxicology and its interdisciplinary components, including biochemistry, pharmacodynamics and risk assessment to pathology and its related disciplines, such as physiology, microbiology, immunology and molecular biology. This wholly revised and updated edition presents the newest information on the topic, and is an essential reference for advanced students, early career researchers, toxicologic pathologists, pharmaceutical scientists, medical pathologists and clinicians, and anyone involved with drug and device development. The book includes a new section describing the application of toxicologic pathology, such as diagnostic and forensic toxicologic pathology, environmental toxicologic pathology, experimental and industrial toxicologic pathology, and pathology issues in the design of toxicology studies. There are also new chapters on special senses (the eye and ear) and the biochemical and molecular basis of toxicity, among others.

Il volume illustra i principi generali della tossicologia, focalizzandosi in particolar modo sulle problematiche correlate al rischio derivante dall'esposizione ai farmaci.

This is the standard-setting reference in medical toxicology - trusted as the leading evidence based resource for poison emergencies. For decades, one name has been synonymous with the most respected, rigorous perspectives on medical toxicology and the treatment of poisoned and overdosed patients: Goldfrank's Toxicologic Emergencies. Presented in full color, Goldfrank's delivers essential, patient centered coverage of every aspect of poison management. The editors and authors are recognized as preeminent scholars in their specialties and provide unmatched coverage of all aspects of toxicologic emergencies, from pharmacology and clinical presentation to cutting-edge treatment strategies. Goldfrank's Toxicologic Emergencies, Tenth Edition begins with an examination of medical toxicology principles and techniques. It then reviews the biochemical, molecular, and pathophysiologic basis of toxicology, followed by an intense focus on toxicologic principles related to special patient populations. Features: case studies enhance your understanding of the clinical application of the text material; practical focus on the pathophysiologic basis of medical toxicology; The Antidotes in Depth sections delivers the expertise of toxicologists across the world as they present treatments for critically ill poisoned and overdosed patients and allow you to easily identify key issues relating to the use of complex and often unfamiliar therapies; and, the principles of risk management, medico legal decision making, patient safety, post mortem toxicology and the assessment of ethanol induced impairment described in chapters and Special Considerations emphasize the interface between medical toxicology, the law, and quality care.

Moltissime ricerche scientifiche ed epidemiologiche segnalano che nel corso degli ultimi trent'anni il tasso di incidenza dei tumori è aumentato del 40 per cento in paesi come gli Stati Uniti, la Norvegia e la Svezia. Sempre in questo lasso di tempo la progressione delle leucemie e dei tumori cerebrali tra i bambini è stato del 2 per cento annuo. Come spiegare questa epidemia inquietante, che colpisce soprattutto i paesi "sviluppati"? Alla domanda risponde Marie-Monique Robin in questo libro choc, frutto di un'inchiesta condotta per due anni tra America del Nord, Asia ed Europa (anche in Italia). Nell'appoggiarsi su numerosi studi scientifici, ma anche sulle testimonianze dei ricercatori e dei rappresentanti delle agenzie di regolamentazione, l'autrice dimostra che la causa principale di questa vera e propria epidemia è di tipo ambientale. In particolare per la presenza di decine di molecole chimiche che hanno invaso il nostro ambito quotidiano e l'alimentazione dalla fine della Seconda guerra mondiale. Per questo, l'autrice ripercorre l'intera catena produttiva del cibo: dall'utilizzo dei pesticidi nei campi fino all'impiego di additivi e plastiche per uso alimentare nei nostri piatti. Nel fare ciò mette a nudo il sistema di valutazione e omologazione dei prodotti chimici, attraverso gli esempi emblematici dei pesticidi, dell'aspartame e del bisfenolo A. E infine descrive le pressioni e le manipolazioni messe in atto dall'industria chimica per mantenere sul mercato prodotti altamente tossici.
