This book provides an up-to-date, compact but comprehensive review of chemical skin injuries, differentiating them from thermal skin burns. After an introductory chapter on the history of chemical skin injuries and the scope of the problem, the anatomy, histology, physiology, and immunology of normal skin are described. Mechanisms involved in chemical penetration of normal skin are explained, and the effects of damaged skin on chemical penetration are analyzed. The remainder of the book discusses a variety of clinically relevant aspects, such as the different forms of chemical skin injury, including injuries that arise during skin peeling or due to hair products; preventive measures; emergency treatment; rinsing therapy; medical and surgical treatment; and the importance of providing relevant information to workers. The role of predictive toxicology is also considered. Chemical Skin Injury:  Mechanisms, Prevention, Decontamination, Treatment is an ideal resource for readers who want to understand chemical skin injury, to put preventive measures in place, and to respond appropriately should a chemical skin injury occur.

The cognitive and behavioral implications of sleep deprivation have been noted in the medical literature for many years.  In addition, emerging research continues to demonstrate the contribution of sleep deprivation to some of the most common and costly health conditions today.  Sleep Deprivation and Disease provides clinically relevant scientific information to help clinicians, public health professionals, and researchers recognize the ramifications of sleep deprivation across a broad spectrum of health topics.  This timely reference covers sleep physiology, experimental approaches to sleep deprivation and measurement of its consequences, as well as health and operational consequences of sleep deprivation.  Clinical challenges and areas of uncertainty are also presented in order to encourage future advancements in sleep medicine and help patients avoid the outcomes associated with the myriad causes of sleep deprivation.

This book will be written by experts for professionals, scientists and all those involved in toxicological data generation and decision-making. It is the updated and expanded version of a monograph published in German in 2004.  Chemical safety is regulated on various levels including production, storage, transport, handling, disposal or labelling. This book deals comprehensively with the safety-ensuring methods and concepts employed by regulatory agencies, industry and academics. Toxicologists use experimental and scientific approaches for data collection, e.g. about chemical hazards, physicochemical features or toxicokinetics. The respective experimental methods are described in the book. Toxicologists also deal with much insecurity in the exposure and effect scenarios during risk assessment. To overcome these, they have different extrapolation methods and estimation procedures at their disposal. The book describes these methods in an accessible manner. Differing concepts from one regulation area to another are also covered. Reasons and consequences become evident when reading the book. Altogether, the book Regulatory Toxicology will serve as an excellent reference.

Werken in een aangenaam binnenklimaat: welke kantoormedewerker is hier geen voorstander van ? Maar wat is aangenaam ? Moet elke klacht wel ernstig genomen worden ? En kan de omgeving ook effectief schadelijk zijn voor de gezondheid, zoals klagers vaak beweren ? Hoe kan men best omgaan met die klachten en hoe kunnen ze op een systematische manier onderzocht worden ? Kan de kwaliteit van het binnenmilieu gemeten worden ? Bestaan er objectieve criteria ? Hoe kan men vroegtijdig detecteren dat er een probleem is en nog beter dit voorkomen ?Op deze vragen wil dit boek antwoorden formuleren. Er worden pistes uitgetekend voor een beter binnenklimaat en voor een open dialoog met alle betrokkenen.Dit boek richt zich in de eerste plaats tot preventieadviseurs, maar ook tot arbeidsgeneesheren, medewerkers van facility management, ... Met andere woorden: tot alle sleutelfiguren die kunnen bijdragen aan een gezond en aangenaam binnenklimaat.Bron : http://shop.kluwer.be
