This paper addresses the importance of toxicology information in medical practice. It begins by describing the role of clinical toxicology in dealing with health hazards that result from exposure to hazardous chemicals. This is followed by an overview of reference sources of practical value to physicians. Among the types of information considered are books, journals, fact sheets, abstracting/indexing tools, computer services, and organizations. Training resources are also presented. An appendix provides full details on accessing the toxicology resources cited in the body of the paper.

To what extent sildenafil, a selective inhibitor of the type-5 phosphodiesterase modulates systemic redox status and cerebrovascular function during acute exposure to hypoxia remains unknown. To address this, 12 healthy males (aged 24 ± 3 y) participated in a randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study involving exposure to both normoxia and acute (60 min) hypoxia (Fi = 0.14), followed by oral administration of 50 mg sildenafil and placebo (double-blinded).

Background: Gestational exposure to non-persistent endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) may be associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. While many EDCs affect the endocrine system, their effects on endocrine-related metabolic pathways remain unclear. This study aims to explore the global metabolome changes associated with EDC biomarkers at delivery.
