- Zusatztext
- This book offers pathologists, toxicologists, other medical professionals, and students an introduction to the discipline and techniques of neuropathology - including chemical and environmental, biological, medical, and regulatory details important for performing an analysis of toxicant-induced neurodiseases. In addition to a section on fundamentals, the book provides detailed coverage of current practices (bioassays, molecular analysis, and nervous system pathology) and practical aspects (data interpretation, regulatory considerations, and tips for preparing reports).
- Kurztext
- Grasp the fundamentals behind neuropathology Fundamental Neuropathology for Pathologists and Toxicologists: Principles and Techniques provides an introduction to the discipline and techniques of neuropathology. Aimed not only at pathologists and toxicologists, but more broadly at comparative neurotoxicologists, environmental scientists, students, and other experts working in the scientific and medical worlds as well, the book is an invaluable guide to understanding diseases of the central and peripheral nervous systems. With a focus on the practical applications of assessing chemical toxicity, the book addresses both the fundamentals of neuropathology, and provides detailed coverage of current practices in anatomic, biochemical, clinical, and molecular analyses. In addition, it examines the practical aspects of neuropathology, such as study design data interpretation, regulatory considerations, and tips for preparing reports. Describing the intricacies of the nervous system and the standard testing procedures that help toxicologists make neuropathological evaluations, Fundamental Neuropathology for Pathologists and Toxicologists is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the chemical, environmental, biological, medical, and regulatory details important for analyzing toxicant-induced neurodiseases.
