Acetaminophen Toxicity: Experimental and Clinical Advances provides detailed information on the risks of consuming the drug in various situations and effective treatments of toxicity.Divided into two parts, the foundational aspects of this book cover the mechanism of toxicity in a detailed manner beginning with the history of acetaminophen to newly explored areas of genetics, proteomics, and metabolomics. The second half goes on to discuss clinical practices and examine where further research and therapeutic approaches may be headed. This part answers key questions about whom to treat, what are the exceptions, how long do you treat, how much antidote do you need, when are other treatments necessary, and what are those other treatments.With contributions from experts in the field, this book is a thorough, well-researched, and valuable reference for scientists, researchers, and clinicians engaged in pursuing better and more accurate diagnosis and treatment of patients with acetaminophen toxicity.

The Pathology and Imaging of Coronavirus Pneumonia is a comprehensive study of the coronavirus family-related pulmonary diseases, specifically targeting the three subtypes of coronaviruses that have been confirmed to infect humans: SARS, MERS, and COVID-19. It is based on heterogeneous data from imaging and clinical sources, and particularly emphasizes the imaging-based staging diagnostic model rooted in the pathogenic and pathological aspects of clinical staging, thereby aiming to better align with the requirements of evidence-based medicine in clinical diagnosis and treatment.The book provides a comprehensive overview of the pathology and imaging manifestations of coronavirus pneumonia, covering the integrated theories and practical achievements of etiology, epidemiology, pathology, clinical diagnosis, treatment, radiology, cleaning, disinfection, and protection measures commonly used in the imaging department, as well as the prevention and prognosis of SARS, MERS and COVID-19.
