This book reviews the acute and chronic effects of ketamine on both adult and developing animals and humans. Topics include pharmacological properties, impact on various organ systems, developmental neurotoxicity in the developing brain, postmortem toxicology, as well as the epidemiology of misuse and patterns of acute and chronic toxicity and the psychosocial aspects of ketamine addiction. The book also explores clinical applications at acceptable doses, including possible contribution to the treatment of depression. The broad-based coverage is designed to promote heightened attention on the…mehr
This book reviews the acute and chronic effects of ketamine on both adult and developing animals and humans. Topics include pharmacological properties, impact on various organ systems, developmental neurotoxicity in the developing brain, postmortem toxicology, as well as the epidemiology of misuse and patterns of acute and chronic toxicity and the psychosocial aspects of ketamine addiction. The book also explores clinical applications at acceptable doses, including possible contribution to the treatment of depression. The broad-based coverage is designed to promote heightened attention on the subject and encourage further research into the beneficial clinical uses of ketamine.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
Professor David T. Yew is the professor emeritus of anatomy in the School of Biomedical Sciences, Chinese University of Hong Kong. He has engaged in research of human and animal neuroscience, drug discovery, and drug toxicology, using various techniques of pathology, immunocytochemistry, cytochemistry, and imaging. Professor Yew's area of specialty is research on neurodegeneration, particularly damage to the nervous system brought about by ketamine abuse, and is now one of the major global leaders in this area.
