The practice of clinical and forensic toxicology has seen powerful changes, witnessing an insurgence of advanced screening modalities like high-resolution mass spectrometry and novel entities like designer drugs. Toxicology Cases for the Clinical and Forensic Laboratory brings together carefully selected case studies to teach important principles related to drugs and toxins exposures. Each case study includes contemporary clinical and forensic toxicologist studies with a comprehensive analytical and clinical approach to patient management addressing overdoses from designer drugs, to NSAIDS, to opioids, to stimulants.These cases present a comprehensive, analytical and clinical approach to managing a drug overdose - a must-have 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 formatPresents unique and challenging cases in clinical laboratories contributed by experts in the fieldConsolidated format that make concepts in toxicology easy to learn and teachKey learning points highlighted with multiple choice questions INDICE: SECTION I - Basic Principles 1.
