Toxicology is a scientific discipline, overlapping with biology, chemistry, pharmacology, and medicine, that involves the study of the adverse effects of chemical substances on living organisms and the practice of diagnosing and treating exposures to toxins and toxicants. The relationship between dose and its effects on the exposed organism is of high significance in toxicology. Toxicologists are experts on poisons and poisoning. There is a movement for evidence-based toxicology as part of the larger movement towards evidence-based practices. 

Principles of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology provides a comprehensive, step by step guide to the subject.
Beginning with an introduction to legal procedures, medical jurisprudence and identification, the following chapters examine forensic methods for different causes of death, such as mechanical injury, road traffic accidents, firearm injuries, thermal injuries and asphyxia. Separate chapters are dedicated to DNA profiling and forensic osteology.

Almost 1000 images and illustrations, as well as a number of mnemonics, have been included to assist learning.

Essentials of Toxicology is an easy-to-absorb distillation of the major principles and concepts that were presented in depth in App’s Toxicology: The Basic Science of Poisons, Eighth Edition, the field’s gold-standard text.

Presented in full color, the app concisely describes the science of toxicology, and includes important concepts from anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry to facilitate the understanding of the principles and mechanisms of toxicant action on specific organ systems.

Reflecting the expertise of more than sixty renowned contributors, Essentials of Toxicology is logically divided into seven sections:

Succinct and comprehensive, there is no better text for gaining an understanding of essential principles, toxicokinetics, how toxic effects are passed on to succeeding generations, how each body system responds to poisons, and the specific effects of a wide range of toxic agents than Essentials of Toxicology.
Concise and authoritative, Clinical Toxicology: Principles and Mechanisms examines the complex interactions associated with clinical toxicological events and chemical exposure or 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, changes in particular treatments, and pharmacology and toxicology of herbal products.

Toxicology is the discipline that is concerned with the study of adverse reactions of chemical substances on living organisms. The three principal areas of toxicology are medical, clinical and computational toxicology. Clinical toxicology is concerned with the treatment of patients, who have been exposed to toxic substances. It is closely associated with medical toxicology. It is focused on diagnosis and prevention of poisoning and harmful effects caused by toxicants and biological agents. The assessment and treatment of drug overdoses, substance abuse, chemical exposures and industrial accidents are under this domain. This App aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of clinical toxicology and the recent researches in this field. It provides significant information of this discipline to help develop a good understanding of clinical toxicology and related fields. With state-of-the-art inputs by acclaimed experts of this field, it targets students and professionals.
