Developmental Biology. Eighth edition

چکیده
helpful is the comprehensive index and the “Dosing Regimens” section, which includes recommended drug therapies for exposure to BCN weapons. The text has a broad scope, organized into five logical sections (Clinical Principles and Practices; Infectious Agents; Biotoxins and Category B and C Agents; Chemical Weapons; and Nuclear and Radiation Syndromes), each composed of chapters surveying more specific examples. Most chapters open with a “clinical vignette” or include a historical incident of note, providing a helpful real-world perspective as to the effects a biological, chemical, or nuclear (BCN) agent may have on the population. Each chapter also contains a brief background of the agent, pathogenesis, means of transmission, a diagnostic checklist of symptoms, and current methods of treatment. Illustrations and photographs are useful for identification of visible symptoms. In a post 9/11-world, and with events such as North Korea’s revelation of nuclear tests, there is a great need for texts like The Bioterrorism Sourcebook. Unfortunately, these are few and far between. The Bioterrorism Sourcebookwould be best viewed as an introductory primer in preparing healthcare professionals for a bioterrorist attack. While thorough and informative, this text is just the first step in promoting awareness of BCN agents and readying the community as a whole for potential threats.
