Description

Reflecting the professional concerns and astute scientific judgment of the American Academy of Clinical Toxicology (AACT) and the European Association of Poisons Centres and Clinical Toxicologists (EAPCCT), the Journal of Toxicology - Clinical Toxicology serves as an international voice on the unique specialty of medical toxicology - presenting timely, peer-reviewed scientific research and clinical articles on all facets of acute and chronic poisoning and its management. The rapid proliferation of new drugs, toxin, antitoxins, and environmental hazards and the renewed threat of chemical warfare are pressing issues in emergency medicine. Certification in the subspecialty of Clinical Toxicology is now offered by the American Boards of Emergency Medicine (ABEM), Preventative Medicine (ABPM), and Pediatrics (ABP), reflecting the need for expertise in Acute toxicologic care, including hemodialysis hemoperfusion hepatic support systems liquid ventilatory perfusion Environmental exposures Civil Defense Occupational toxicology Substance abuse Analytic toxicology In addition, the journal furnishes opportunities for new insights and explications as well as consolidates consensus views on contemporary issues, offering state-of-the-art, evidence-based position papers on topics related to gastrointestinal decontamination and elimination techniques and guidelines ipecac, lavage and charcoal gastric lavage single and multiple dose activated charcoal cathartics whole bowel irrigation alkaline diuresis hemoperfusion hemodialysis and much more! about the sponsors... The American Academy of Clinical Toxicology (AACT) and the European Association of Poisons Centres and Clinical Toxicologists (EAPCCT) are organizations of clinical toxicologists primarily affiliated with teaching hospitals, schools of pharmacy and public health, and regional centers for poison information and treatment. Their professional activities include emergency and critical care; family practice; internal medicine; pediatrics; occupational, environmental, preventive, and public health; epidemiology; forensic and clinical chemistry; substance abuse; pharmacy; and research pharmacology and toxicology. Discontinued in 2005 - now Clinical Toxicology.
