Recenzii

“This book presents the history, chemistry, pharmacology, and toxicology of mustard compounds with an emphasis on the toxicological effects on specific organ systems. … This comprehensive book focuses specifically on the biological effects of mustard compounds, thus complementing existing books on chemical warfare agents. It should prove to be a useful reference for its intended audience.” (Beth Levant, Doody's Book Reviews, October, 2016)

Notă biografică

Mahdi Balali-Mood attended Tehran University, where he was awarded a B.Sc. First-Class Honor in Chemistry in 1963 and then an M.D. in 1970. After his medical military service and training in internal medicine and clinical toxicology, he was appointed an assistant professor in clinical toxicology and became the head of his newly established Poisoning Treatment Center (PTC) at Mashhad University in 1974. He was awarded a scholarship from the Ministry of Science of Iran and completed his Ph.D. in clinical pharmacology and toxicology at Edinburgh University Medical School (1978–1981). He continued at the school as a lecturer until 1982, when he decided to return to Mashhad to advance his established PTC.
Dr. Balali-Mood was promoted to associate professor and then full professor of medicine and clinical toxicology at the Mashhad University of Medical Sciences (MUMS) in 1984 and 1988, respectively. He has served as a clinical toxicology adviser to the International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS) and the World Health Organization from 1989 to the present. He has also been a member of the IPCS Programme Advisory Committee since 2000.
Dr. Balali-Mood was a founding member and the first president of the Iranian Society of Toxicology and was twice elected president of Irantox between 1989 and 2001. He has been a
member of the Iranian Academy of Medical Sciences since its establishment in 1990. In collaboration with a group of internationally recognized medical toxicologists, he founded the Asia-Pacific Association of Medical Toxicology (in 1989) and served as the organization’s first vice president and then as its president for 8 years (1994–2001). He was elected as a permanent member of the Academy of Sciences for the Developing World in 1997. He was also a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons from 2004 to 2011. Additionally, he is the co-founder of the Medical Toxicology Research Centre, Faculty of Medicine, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, where he has served as director since 1988. He is also Editor-in-Chief of the Scientific Journal of Birjand University of Medical Sciences (since 2002) and an associate editor or editorial board member of numerous national and international medical journals.
Dr. Balali-Mood’s research areas include clinical toxicology of chemical warfare agents, organophosphorous pesticide poisonings, heavy metals, drug abuse and overdosage, epidemiology of poisonings, occupational and environmental toxicology, and natural toxins, including snake and spider venoms. He is the author or editor of 29 books and book chapters, 147 articles, and 289 short papers and abstracts. He is also the recipient of several national and international prizes for teaching, research, and medical care. His recent books Basic and Clinical Toxicology of Organophosphorus Compounds (also with Mohammad Abdollahi) and Biological Toxins and Bioterrorism were published by Springer in 2014 and 2015, respectively.
