`Past Memories`

The Society of Toxicology, India (STOX) being founder member of IUTOX, organized the 2nd Congress of Toxicology in Developing Countries"(CTDCs) in 1991 in Ashoka Hotel, New Delhi. Dr PK Gupta founder of the STOX is seen with Honorable Shri Kamal Nath,Union Minister of Environment and Forestry, Dr PK Ray Organizing Secretary of the Conference and and Dr PK Seth. Almost 700 delegates from India and abroad attended the meeting.

(i) "Congress of Toxicology in Developing Countries"(CTDCs) were integrated as an IUTOX activity. The first CTDC was held in Argentina in 1987 as an independent initiative and has been held once in every four years since then: India (1991), Egypt (1995), Turkey(1999), China(2003) and Crotia (2006). It was my privilege to be the chairman of the committee to organize a symposium in Crotia and delivered invited lecture related to Biopesticides. Since then CTDC is being organized regularly after every three years in various countries as an IUTOX activity, in accordance with the major aims of the CTDCs, which are,

1.      promoting toxicology in developing countries.
2.      providing a platform where the toxicological issues and problems that mainly concern the developing countries are addressed.
3.      promoting cooperation between scientists from developed and developing countries to work on the specific toxicological problems of the developing world.
The congress is one of memorable one and broad India on the world map.

Past Memories

After return from USA in 1979, myself initiated the formation of Society of Toxicology in India (STOX). The same was got registered with appropriate authorities. As a Founder Director of International Union of Toxicology (IUTOX), I had to attend IUTOX in 1980 in Belgium. The purpose of th meeting was to discuss the future of this specialized branch of toxicology, steps to be taken for the growth and development and to identify the venue for the next International Congress of Toxicology. Dr Gupta is seen with Prof S L Friess USA; Prof D Henschler Germany; Prof B Holmstedt Sweden; Prof R G Burford Canada; Prof C Hodel Switzerland; Pof W N Aldridge UK. Prof E Fournier France. Prof M Ikeda Japan and Prof G Plaa Canada.

As Founder of STOX, I took advantage of this opportunity to get the same not only affiliated with IUTOX but got the membership as Founder member of IUTOX (which is only global organization in the field of toxicology). Further on my persuation I could convince them for reduced membership fee for STOX (that was almost on tenth of the fee applicable to ther societies). Immediately I paid my personal in cash. Since the STOX is a founder member of IUTOX. Since then, STOX is regularly organizing conferences, have a peer reviewed PubMed indexed scientific journal “Toxicology International”. Besides National and International Conferences, with the efforts of Dr Ray, Dr Seth, Dr Gupta and many others, the society also organized 2nd Congress of Toxicology of Developing Countries which was held in 1992 in Ashoka Hotel, New Delhi. As a Founder Editor-in-Chief of the Journal "TOXICOLOGY INTERNATIONAL" and Founder PRESIDENT of SOCIETY OF TOXICOLOGY I wish the society all success.

Illustrated Toxicology: With Study Questions is an essential, practical resource for self-study and guidance catering to a broad spectrum of students.

The book “Illustrative Toxicology, with Question Bank” is aimed to make the study of toxicology simple and understandable through illustrations, images, custom made drawings, self-explanatory tables, and questions and answers collated from standard and authoritative textbooks, and widely scanned. The author’s own experience in different branches of toxicology including environmental and veterinary toxicology has been abstracted in this book. The book has been written in a manner to stimulate interest on various facets of the subject and make it more exciting. It is general experience that theoretical description does not attract as much attention and interest as the illustrations and images. At the same time the information learnt through questions and their satisfactory replies make the topics easier to grasp them.

The book provides comprehensive quick reference for various examinations. However, it should be noted that this book serves only as a supplement and not as a replacement for any textbook and class room learning.

The book has 17 chapters that cover several topics such as general toxicology, principles of toxicology, risk assessment, disposition, mechanism of toxicity, toxic effects of various xenobiotics, poisonings of poisonous and venomous organisms, plant toxins, poisonous and food poisonings, radiation hazards and, abuse of drugs. The book also deals with the adverse effects on environment and ecosystem exposed to various toxicants and poisonings as relevant to domestic and other animals. One chapter is exclusively devoted to clinical toxicology, principles of diagnosis, followed by general management of poisoning of the patients including methods of removal of poisons from the body and treatment of poisoning. Finally, a chapter deals with brain storming questions that will be helpful as a review for students so that they understand the concepts delivered.

Each chapter is in the format of questions and answers, data interpretation, multiple choice questions, true and false statements or correct/ incorrect statements, fill in blanks, and matching the statements. Unique book in toxicology having more than 31 self- explanatory tables, 237 custom made illustrations and images, and about 3400 questions and answers. Useful for students, teachers and practicing in medical sciences, toxicology, pharmacology, medicine, pharmacy, environmental toxicology and in veterinary sciences. Therefore, I believe that this book would be:

1. A good alternative to be used for various courses and an excellent contribution for the students who needs a study aid for toxicology but wants more than a textbook as they need a self-testing regime.

2. The teachers of toxicology who needs inspiration when composing questions for their students.

3. The established toxicologists who wants to test their own knowledge of understanding the subject matter.

4. Will be useful at universities and colleges, in industry for in-house training courses in toxicology which I know exist in some pharmaceutical and chemical companies

5. Required for studying for the toxicology Boards and for preparation of different examinations.

Thus, the main strength of the book is that it reflects the breadth and multi-disciplinary nature of toxicology with illustrative approach to the subject that is needed to improve engagement with and understanding of the subject having a very wide audience.

Toxicology is a rapidly evolving field. Suggestions and comments are welcome to help the author improve the contents of the book. Please also suggest the deficiencies need o be covered at drpkg_brly@yahoo.co.in or drpkg1943@gmail.com if you have any topics you feel should be better covered in any future editions.
