About This Book
The text offers a systematic presentation of toxicology, opening with definitions, classification of poisons and general principles of etiology, factors that modify toxicity, and the physiological mechanisms and fate of toxic agents. It treats clinical‑anatomical diagnosis, chemical and physiological methods of detection, prognosis and general treatment approaches. A lengthy special section catalogs mineral and plant toxins in individual entries that describe causes, symptom patterns, pathological findings, therapeutic measures, laboratory and physiological proof, and illustrative case reports, covering metals, organic compounds, alkaloids and a wide range of poisonous plants.
