This book from Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers is an English medium (अंग्रेज़ी माध्यम) title by Dr. V.V. Pillay, covering medical toxicology (विष विज्ञान) — poisons, overdose and the clinical management of the poisoned patient. The fifth edition is completely revised, revamped and refurbished: every chapter has been extensively modified, some in fact completely rewritten; references have been updated; new tables have been incorporated; and obsolete information has been removed. Two new chapters are included — Analytical Toxicology and Substances of Dependence and Abuse — and all of this has been accomplished without substantially increasing the size of the book or changing its basic format, so that users continue to find it suited to their needs as a working handbook. Its orientation is deliberately clinical rather than historical. The edition is shorn of historical cases, anecdotes and quotes, and embellished instead with precise and explicit practical tips for managing poisoned and overdosed patients, with numerous colour images incorporated, many of them original contributions from renowned experts in the field. That is what separates it from a purely academic toxicology text: it is written to be used at the bedside when a poisoning case arrives, and reviewers have described it as a treasure-house of information useful to the practising clinician as well as the researcher, well written and easy to carry. The fifth edition was published on 30 January 2023 and runs to 978 pages in paperback. The cover carries a DigiNerve QR code giving access to video lectures, notes and self-assessment material. Dr. V.V. Pillay MD DCL is among India's foremost authorities in the field and is also the author of Comprehensive Medical Toxicology and the Textbook of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology. The whole book is written in English in the Roman script. Key Features: English medium book — complete content written in English (Roman script) Written by Dr. V.V.
