Overview

A comprehensive understanding of toxicologic pathology is essential for those in industry, academia, and government who make decisions concerning the safety and efficacy of drugs and chemicals. Toxicologic Pathology relies heavily on the fields of both toxicology and pathology, which are well covered individually in various texts and references; however, there are few texts that address the field of toxicologic pathology. The Handbook of Toxicology Pathology fills this void and is thus essential for all health professionals within or interacting with the field of toxicologic pathology. This two-volume set provides the reader with a single reference for toxicologic pathology. In volume I, the book covers toxicologic pathology in its basic aspects, including its definition, the basic biochemical and morphologic mechanisms underlying the discipline, the basic practice of toxicologic pathology (including special techniques) and issues essential to the understanding of toxicologic pathology such as risk assessment, experimental design, and statistical analysis. Next, the book moves to specific issues affecting the practice toxicologic pathology, including issues such as knowledge management, regulatory affairs and writing pathology reports. Finally, Volume I closes with several chapters that deal with specific classes of environmental toxicants such as endocrine disruptors and heavy metals. Volume II addresses the toxicologic pathology in a thoroughly standardized systems manner, addressing the basic structure and function of a particular organ system, its response to toxic injury, mechanisms of injury and methods of evaluation of such injury.

Reviews

The 2 volumes are excellent companions that complement each other as a 1,2 punch! This publication should be on the bookshelf of clinical toxicologists, environmental professionals and laboratory investigators... -VETERINARY AND HUMAN TOXICOLOGY (October 2002) ...gives an excellent overview of the numerous processes associated with toxicologic pathology as used in risk assessment. It stands alone as a classic textbook in toxicology, or would be an excellent supplement to other such books. ...Its readability will allow acceptance to all scientists ranging from undergraduate to experienced industry/regulatory professional. -Paul Baldrick for THE BRITISH TOXICOLOGY SOCIETY NEWSLETTER (Spring 2002) ...very readable, well-referenced, and current... an excellent book for research training. --DOODY'S

Author Information

Professor Haschek-Hock has served as president of the Society of Toxicologic Pathology and the Society of Toxicology’s Comparative and Veterinary Specialty Section, as well as Councilor of the American College of Veterinary Pathologists, board member of the American Board of Toxicology; as Associate Editor for Toxicological Sciences and for Toxicologic Pathology; as Editorial Board member for Fundamental and Applied Toxicology, Veterinary Pathology and Toxicologic Pathology. She has served as a member on the USFDA Veterinary Medicine Advisory Committee for the Center for Veterinary Medicine, the EPA’s FIFRA Science Advisory Panel, and National Academy of Sciences Committee. She currently serves on the Board of Directors of the C.L. Davis Foundation for the Advancement of Veterinary and Comparative Pathology. She was awarded the Society of Toxicologic Pathology’s Achievement Award in 2007 and the Midwest Regional Chapter – Society of Toxicology’s Kenneth DuBois Award in 2011. Colin G. Rousseaux, BVSc, Ph.D., DABT, FIATP, is also a Fellow of the Royal College of Pathology (FRCPath) and Fellow of the Academy of Toxicological Sciences (FATS).
