Each case study includes contemporary clinical and forensic toxicologist studies that include a comprehensive analytical and clinical approach to patient management and address overdoses from designer drugs, to NSAIDS, to opioids, to stimulants. These cases present a comprehensive, analytical and clinical approach to managing a drug overdose. This is a must-have reference for clinical and forensic laboratory scientists, along with toxicology and pathology residents who need to know aspects of both.
- Brings together expert cases encompassing analytical toxicology, clinical medicine and basic science in a consolidated format
- Presents unique and challenging cases in clinical laboratories contributed by experts in the field
- Consolidated format that make concepts in toxicology easy to learn and teach
- Key learning points highlighted with multiple choice questions
