With insights from around the globe, it presents the latest advances in the understanding of the contamination and management strategies for aflatoxins in cereals, millets, oilseed, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products. Aflatoxin contamination in crops is a global threat that compromises the safety of food, feed, and also influence the agricultural economy and crop-dependent small scale industries. Crops can be contaminated during the process of harvesting, storing, and transporting by the fungi and leads to the productions of several mycotoxins. Aflatoxin can be extremely harmful if consumed, being linked to cancer-, immune-, and nutritionally related diseases. Aflatoxin Management in Crops: Challenges and Opportunities includes the biology of fungi and the chemistry behind the toxicity level of different aflatoxin strains as well as advances in detection techniques and management strategies. It concludes by exploring the different effects of aflatoxin on human health and regulatory laws to control its contamination.

      Gross Pathology Atlas: A Guide to Gross Specimen Evaluation is a novel reference dedicated to 'gross' images. Gross pathology is the branch of pathology that deals with the examination and diagnosis of diseases through the observation of organs, tissues, and bodily fluids with the naked eye, without the aid of a microscope. It involves the examination of specimens obtained during surgery, autopsy, or biopsy. This book serves as an essential tool for diagnosing diseases. By observing macroscopic features, pathologists can identify diseases or conditions affecting various organs and tissues for example, to detect tumors, inflammation, infections, and degenerative changes. Gross pathology specimens serve as invaluable teaching aids for medical students, residents, and healthcare professionals. They provide tangible examples of disease manifestations, facilitating the understanding of pathological processes. Moreover, gross pathology specimens are essential for research purposes, allowing scientists to study disease mechanisms, develop new treatments, and advance medical knowledge.
