Veterinary Parasitology, 2nd Edition (1996)

2012-01-02T01:11:00.000-08:00

Name :Veterinary Parasitology

Author :James Armour, J. L. Duncan, A. M. Dunn,
F. W. Jennings , G. M. Urguhart

Edition :2nd

Year :1996

Pages :307

Format :PDF
Size :14.57 MB

This book is intended for veterinary students studying parasitology, practising veterinary surgeons, and those in animal science who require information on all aspects of parasitic disease in domestic animals.

The text is comprehensive, covering both temperate and tropical zones, and deals with all three aspects of parasitology - helminthology, entomology and protozoology - as well as some blood-borne rickettsial infections traditionally taught in the subject. There are also chapters dedicated to reviews of epidemiology, immunity, anthelmintics, ectoparasiticides and laboratory diagnosis.

Because the text is intended for those directly involved in the diagnosis, treatment, and control of parasitic infections of domestic animals, diseases which are common or important are treated in some detail, the less important being discussed more briefly. For the same reason, details of classification and taxonomy have been kept to the minimum necessary to indicate the relationships between the various species and to facilitate their identification.

Animals as Sentinels of Environmental Health Hazards

Name :Animals as Sentinels of Environmental Health Hazards

Author :National Research Council

Edition :1st

Studying animals in the environment may be a realistic and highly beneficial approach to identifying unknown chemical contaminants before they cause human harm. "Animals as Sentinels of Environmental Health Hazards" presents an overview of animal-monitoring programs, including detailed case studies of how animal health problems - such as the effects of DDT on wild bird populations - have led researchers to the sources of human health hazards. The authors examine the components and characteristics required for an effective animal-monitoring program, and they evaluate numerous existing programs, including in situ research, where an animal is placed in a natural setting for monitoring purposes.

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)

The Basic Science of Poisons

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.
