This book gives an overview of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and its clinical application. It also highlights recent advances in toxicological studies, as they relate to therapeutic drug monitoring. This is one of the few books available on the market that covers TDM. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is a clinical decision-making tool that enables dosage regimen adjustments based on clinical and laboratory measurements. TDM not only involves the measuring of drug concentrations but also interpretation of the results. There is a strong correlation between drug concentrations in body fluids and outcome than between dose and outcome. The chapters include coverage of analytical techniques, pharmacokinetics, therapeutic indices, artificial intelligence and recent advances in toxicological studies. The book fills a gap in published literature and provides reliable information on; Analytical techniques in TDM and clinical toxicology TDM and pharmacokinetic studies TDM of drugs with narrow therapeutic indices Artificial intelligence in TDM and clinical toxicology Future directions and challenges

Written in a handbook style with specific methods and tips on eliminating false positive and false negative results, this book is a practical guide to the detailed mechanisms of such occurrences.

This important, new reference provides the first , up-to-date, and comprehensive treatmentof the various liquid chromatography (LC) instrumentation for Therapeutic DrugMonitoring (TDM) and toxicology drug assays and reviews the clinical pharmacologyof major classes of drugs and their LC analyses.Written by authoritative contributors who bring many years of personal laboratory/clinical experience to the book, this interdisciplinary work : presents the principlesof TDM, sampling techniques, and various instrumentation topics, including computerinterfacing, mass spectrometry, fluorescence , electrochemical detection, and bloodcollection devices . .. examines six primary classes of drugs, complete with recommendedLC procedures and emphasizing recently introduced drugs and their LC analyses. .. and documents medicolegal guidelines and laboratory management considerations,providing a contemporary assessment of today's laboratory needs.The only practical, current guide available on the subject, Therapeutic Drug Monitoringand Toxicology by Li([uid Chromatography belongs in the personal libraries of clinicaland analytical chemists and biochemists, clinical pharmacologists, clinical toxicologists,clinical pathologists, immunologists, liquid chromatographers, mass spectroscopists, laboratorydirectors, laboratory instrument manufacturers , and medical technologists. Thebook is also vital supplementary reading for advanced undergraduate and graduate-levelclinical chemistry, toxicology, clinical pathology, and liquid chromatography course.

Rare diseases collectively affect millions of Americans of all ages, but developing drugs and medical devices to prevent, diagnose, and treat these conditions is challenging. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommends implementing an integrated national strategy to promote rare diseases research and product development.
