Download or read book The Toxicology of Molluscicides written by Gerald Webbe and published by Pergamon. This book was released on 1987 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past decades have seen the implementation of numerous programmes for the eradication of molluscs, due mainly to their involvement as vectors of human parasitic diseases. These programmes have involved the use of vast quantities of molluscicides and have resulted in many unwanted side effects. This volume of the International Encyclopedia of Pharmacology and Therapeutics brings together reviews on the major molluscicides in current use. Each review outlines all the physicochemical, toxicological and pharmacological properties, as well as detailing the effects on all the other major organisms that they are likely to come into contact with. In bringing together all this information in one volume, this book will enable the use of molluscicides to be better controlled and far more effective, whilst preventing the serious ecological damage often associated with such programmes.

This book was released on 1987-11-13 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role that molluscicides can play in the control of schistosomiasis has been well established. Economic constraints and the rising cost of synthetic chemicals in endemic countries make plants an attractive alternative source of molluscicides. For the first time the present and potential roles of plant molluscicides, screening methods, problems of evaluation, needs in the field of toxicology, and methods of breeding, selection and cultivation of plants are review. Guidelines for research in plant molluscicides are reported.
Download or read book Mechanisms of Cellular Transformation by Carcinogenic Agents written by Dezider Grunberger and published by Pergamon. This book was released on 1987 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hardbound. In the past five years the two major areas of cellular transformation and tumorigenesis, chemical and physical tumorigenesis on the one hand and the investigation of tumor viruses on the other, have undergone extraordinary unification. This is mainly due to the discovery that the mechanisms of transformation are closely related. In both cases agents act via a limited number of proto-oncogenes. This volume brings together reviews from both areas, giving exceptional insight into the past and future work that has been explained and stimulated by this new framework.

Download or read book Toxicology of Organophosphate and Carbamate Compounds written by Ramesh C Gupta and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2011-04-28 with total page 781 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text/reference book provides the most comprehensive coverage of anticholinesterase compounds (Organophosphates and Carbamates), which constitute the largest number of chemicals that are primarily used as insecticides in agriculture, industry, and around the home/garden. Some OPs (nerve agents) have been used in chemical warfare and terrorist attacks, while some OPs and CMs have been recommended as therapeutic agents in human medicine as well as in veterinary medicine. Many chemicals of both classes are extremely toxic and lack selectivity, thus their inadvertent/accidental use continues to pose a threat to human and animal health, aquatic systems and wildlife. These anticholinesterase agents produce a variety of toxicological effects in target and nontarget organs. In light of this complexicity, this multi-authored book is written by the well known scientists from many countries. The book is organized into nine sections, with a total of 49 chapters, to provide in-depth knowledge on various aspects of OP and CM compounds, including their use, classification, mechanism-based toxicity, and prophylactic and therapeutic measurements. Several chapters are written with special emphasis to cover timely topics, such as chemical warfare agents, physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling, structure and function of cholinesterases, paraoxonase, carboxylesterases; developmental neurotoxicity, the intermediate syndrome, oxidative stress, endocrine disruption, and DNA damage/gene expression and carcinogenesis. Section-VI with 5 chapters is specifically devoted to risk assessment, and safety and regulatory guidelines for pesticides. - Describes everything you need to know about Organophosphates and Carbamates - Extensively covers pesticides, nerve agents, therapeutic drugs, and flame retardants - Describes epidemiology of the world's major disasters involving Organophosphates and Carbamates - Covers animal, human, aquatic, and wildlife toxicity of Anticholinesterases - Insights into in-depth cholinergic and noncholinergic mechanisms of toxicity - Describes recent advancements in cholinesterases, paraoxonases, carboxylesterases, oxidative stress, endocrine disruption, cardiac and pulmonary toxicity, and carcinogenesis - Provides in vitro and in vivo models for neurotoxicity testing - Integrates knowledge of studies in lab animals and humans - Offers risk/safety assessment and national/international guidelines for permissible levels of pesticide residues - Describes management of Anticholinesterase poisoning in humans
Download or read book Antibiotic Inhibitors of Bacterial Cell Wall Biosynthesis written by Donald J. Tipper and published by Pergamon. This book was released on 1987 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the advent of antibiotic drugs, epidemic bacterial infections have ceased to be a scourge on mankind. This volume presents an overview of the field of antibiotic action. It also includes descriptions of the major mechanisms of resistance that are increasingly becoming a serious problem in dealing with bacterial infections. In detailing the precise mechanisms of action and resistance, allied to the rational application of modern organic chemistry, this information should highlight better structures for classical antibiotics, as well as other areas of bacterial metabolism that may be sensitive to chemotherapy. In such a multidisciplinary field, this accumulation of knowledge should be invaluable to all those working on better antibiotics.
