For forensic investigators and pathologists, Karch, a forensic pathologist and retired assistant medical examiner, provides information on the pathology of drug abuse, with chapters organized by drug type and addressing aspects such as epidemiology, history, manufacture, routes of administration, pharmacology, toxicity, effects, and approaches to the detection of abuse. This edition examines the role of genetic diversity in the diagnosis of drug-related toxicity and the role of DNA testing in determining cause of death. It incorporates new findings relating to the molecular biology and toxicogenetics of cocaine and heroin, and discusses unique medical syndromes and histological alterations associated with commonly abused drugs. It includes a new chapter on marijuana, new material on absinthe and khat abuse, updated information on anabolic steroids, new graphics on worldwide drug production and availability, and new photos and references.
