| Summary |
"Concise and authoritative, this fundamental text addresses the current principles and mechanisms of clinical toxicology. It examines the complex interactions associated with clinical toxicological events and chemical exposure and drug administration. The author places special emphasis on signs and symptoms of diseases and pathology caused by toxins and clinical drugs. He covers contemporary issues in clinical toxicology, such as biological and chemical toxins, changes in protocols for managing toxic ingestions, new antidotes, and changes in particular treatments. The chapters contain numerous drawings, figures, and tables to aid in comprehension." -- Publisher description |
