      Diabetes mellitus affects approximately 20 million people in the US, or nearly 7% of the population. It is expected to increase by 70% within the next 25 years, and numerous epidemiologic studies have demonstrated that type 2 diabetes increases the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. It is estimated to cost over $92 billion in health care costs and lost productivity. The increased risk is due to the detrimental vascular effects of prolonged exposure to a hyperglycemic, oxidant-rich environment yielding associated cardiovascular risk factors: atherosclerosis, hypertension and clotting abnormalities. Hypertension and dyslipidemia in diabetic patients produces substantial decreases in cardiovascular and microvascular diseases. Nutritional and Therapeutic Interventions for Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome provides an overview of the current epidemic, outlines the consequences of this crisis and lays out strategies to forestall and prevent diabetes, obesity and other intricate issues of metabolic syndrome. The contributing experts from around the world give this book relevant and up-to-date global approaches to the critical consequences of metabolic syndrome and make it an important reference for those working with the treatment, evaluation or public health planning for the effects of metabolic syndrome and diabetes.

      Adverse Effects of Engineered Nanoparticles: A Disease-Oriented Approach provides a systematic evaluation of representative engineered nanomaterial (ENM) of high volume production and of high economic importance. Each class of nanomaterials discussed includes information on what scientists, industry, regulatory agencies and the general public need to know about nanosafety. This book, written by leading international experts in nanotoxicology and nanmoedicine, gives a comprehensive view of the health impact of ENM, focusing on their potential adverse effects in exposed workers, consumers and patients. The beneficial applications, both diagnostic and therapeutic, of ENM are also highlighted. This book fills an important need in terms of bridging the gap between experimental findings and human exposure to ENM, and the clinical and pathological consequences of such exposure in the human population.

      Therapeutic protein drug products provides a comprehensive overview of therapeutic protein drug products, with an emphasis on formulation beginning in the laboratory, followed by manufacturing and administration in the clinic. A list of many commercial therapeutic drug products are described and include the product name, dosages, active concentration, buffer, excipients, Ph, container type and route of administration. The laboratory formulation sections focus on the most common buffers, excipients, and Ph ranges that are commonly tested in addition to systematic approaches. A brief section on biophysical and analytical analysis is also provided. Properties of therapeutic protein formulations are described and include opalescence, phase separation, color, and subvisible particles. An emphasis is placed on material and process testing to ensure success during manufacturing. The drug product manufacturing process, which includes the process of compounding to filling, is also covered. Methods of delivery in the clinic are addressed, as well as delivery strategies. Finally, a perspective on the regulatory requirements for therapeutic protein formulations is discussed.

      Beaucoup de progrès scientifiques ont été réalisés en toxicologie hospitalière clinique et médico-légale, tout comme l'interprétation des résultats obtenus lors des investigations toxicologiques est devenue plus complexe. Cette nouvelle édition fait le point sur les aspects généraux et analytiques de la toxicologie médico-judiciaire incluant le devenir des xénobiotiques dans l'organisme, le recueil des échantillons, leur analyse, certaines matrices alternatives (salive, cheveu) et des monographies sur l'alcool, les stupéfiants, les produits de substitution et les nouvelles drogues émergentes. Des thèmes plus spécifiques, tels que la soumission chimique, le diagnostique de noyade, les armes chimiques, la pharmaco-toxico-géné... ou encore toxicologie et internet ont été ajoutés. Cet ouvrage sera très utile aussi bien pour les débutants que pour les toxicologues chevronnés qui ne peuvent pas être au courant de tous les détails de notre discipline. De plus, ce livre sera utile aux enseignants et aux étudiants en toxicologie, qui peuvent ainsi avoir accès d'une façon simple à des données rassemblées par des spécialistes de haut niveau et ayant une expérience professionnelle approfondie. Il en va de même pour les médecins légistes, les médecins du travail, les juristes et magistrats ou toute autre personne qui souhaite se maintenir informé des moyens à la disposition d'une science biomédicale moderne.
