• User-friendly format allows the reader to quickly absorb key information.
• Quick review/synopsis sections for complex diseases make important information easy to find.
• Features content on major diseases of all countries, including foreign animal and emerging diseases.

• Completely revised chapters reflect the information from current literature.
• New chapters address diseases associated with prions and identify important emerging diseases.
• A new main author who is a recognized authority on internal medicine of ruminant species with extensive clinical experience and scientific publications brings his expertise to this important reference.
• Includes content from contributing authors who are international authorities on pig diseases, toxicological disease in animals, and diseases associated with artropod parasites.
• Several new illustrations and sonograms provide up-to-date visual aids for better understanding.

Histopathology of Preclinical Toxicity Studies, 3rd Edition (2007)

Name  :Histopathology of Preclinical Toxicity Studies:Interpretation & Relevance in Drug Safety Evaluation

Author     :Peter Greaves

Edition     :3rd

Year        :2007

Pages      :955

Format    :PDF

Size        :79.90 MB














This work covers effectively all aspects of drug-induced pathology that may be encountered within preclinical toxicity studies. It fills a gap in the pathology literature relating to the preclinical safety assessment of new medicines. It systematically describes, in one volume, both spontaneous and drug induced pathology on an organ by organ basis. Information relevant to understanding the nature of pathological changes in pre-clinical studies and assessment of their relevance to the clinical investigation of new drugs is also covered. Numerous colour photographs are included that highlight and embellish the histopathological features that are described. It also contains many pertinent references to both human and animal pathology forming an essential basis for the assessment of drug-induced pathology. 

NEW TO THE THIRD EDITION:
* Covers drug induced pathology in preclinical (animal) studies and their relevance for patients or volunteers in clinical studies
* General comments to each chapter about the relevance of pathological findings to humans
* Provides essential information that can help decide the relevance of particular lesions for patients

Casarett and Doull s Toxicology - The Basic Science of Poisons 7th edition (2008)

Name      :Casarett and Doull'sToxicology
              The Basic Science of Poisons

Author     :C.D.Klaassen

Edition     :7th

Size        :31.14 MB













The seventh edition of Casarett and Doull’s Toxicology: The Basic Science of Poisons, as the previous six, is meant to serve primarily as a text for, or an adjunct to, graduate courses in toxicology. Because the six previous editions have been widely used in courses in environmental health and related areas, an attempt has been made to maintain those characteristics that make it useful to scientists from other disciplines. This edition will again provide information on the many facets of toxicology, especially the principles, concepts, and modes of thoughts that are the foundation of the discipline. Mechanisms of toxicity are emphasized. Research toxicologists will find this book an excellent reference source to find updated material in areas of their special or peripheral interests.

This edition reflects the marked progress made in toxicology during the last few years. For example, the importance of apoptosis, cytokines, growth factors, oncogenes, cell cycling, receptors, gene regulation, transcription factors, signaling pathways, transgenic animals, “knock-out” animals, polymorphisms, microarray technology, genomics, proteonomics, etc., in understanding the mechanisms of toxicity are included in this edition. More information on environmental hormones is also included. References in this edition include not only traditional journal and review articles, but, internet sites also.
