Smoking causes and contributes to a large number of human diseases, yet due to the large number of potentially hazardous compounds in cigarette smoke -- almost 5,000 chemicals have been identified, establishing the link between smoking and disease has often proved difficult.

This book provides an authoritative overview of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) treatment menus for 16 pain categories with an evidence-based literature review on each pain disorder, illustrative figures showing anatomy and techniquesIntroductory chapters cover basic information about the mechanism, function and the analgesic effects of the BoNTs based on the data derived from animal studies.
Since its advent, nanotechnologies are considered key enabling technologies that take advantage of a wide array of nanomaterials (NMs) for biomedical and industrial applications generating significant societal and economic benefits.
The proposed book is envisioned for the nascent and entry-level researchers who are interested to work in the field of drug delivery and its applications specifically for macrophage targeting.
The main aim of this book is to collect a series of research articles and reviews from a diverse group of scientists to share their research work on the role of free radical research and environmental toxicity.
The book covers the area of 'Nanotoxicology' but primarily from the point of view of nanotoxicology at the interface with other disciplines including human toxicology; environmental toxicology; characterization, dose and transformations; regulation; public and elite group perceptions; and interactions with innovation.

This book presents recent advances in inorganic nanomaterials for healthcare, with focus on the synthesis, medical applications and toxicity of metals, metal oxides and metal sulfides.
This book presents recent reviews on the occurrence, analysis, toxicity and remediation of pesticides in biological systems such as fish, chickens, water, soil and food.
Haschek and Rousseaux's Handbook of Toxicologic Pathology is a key reference on the integration of structure and functional changes in tissues associated with the response to pharmaceuticals, chemicals and biologics.
Voici la synthèse scientifique la plus complète à l'heure actuelle sur les mécanismes généraux de la dépendance et sur les effets des différentes drogues, notamment sur le cerveau.
« Jean Bergeret ose affirmer que la toxicomanie n'existe pas, qu'il s'agit de la fabrication d'un mythe dangereux pour soi-même et pour autrui ; par des exemples clairs et concrets, dans une langue vivante et admirablement simple, il nous explique que ce qui est important, ce n'est pas le symptôme mais les causes qui ont engendré l'apparition du symptôme : causes sociales, économiques bien sûr, mais surtout causes qui se situent dans l'individualité de chaque sujet » Docteur Claude OlivensteinPsychiatre, psychanalyste, professeur à l'université de Lyon-2, Jean Bergeret est spécialiste des problèmes liés à la pharmacodépendance.
