In Section I, the book discusses the role of metals in medicines and include chapters on nanoparticles, noble metals, medical devices, copper. selenium, silver, and microbial pathogens; while Section II includes topics on metals toxicity including heavy metals, carcinogens, cancer therapy, Bhasma?s and chelating agents used in Ayurveda, and biochemical and molecular targets including actions of metals. These new and emerging concepts of applications of metals in medicine, their crucial role in management of microbial resistance, and their use in the treatment of various chronic diseases is essential information for toxicologists, and clinical and biomedical researchers. 606 $aPharmacology 606 $aCancer research 606 $aPharmacology/Toxicology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B21007 606 $aCancer Research$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B11001 615 0$aPharmacology. 615 0$aCancer research. 615 14$aPharmacology/Toxicology. 615 24$aCancer Research. 676 $a610.28 702 $aRai$b Mahendra$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aIngle$b Avinash P$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMedici$b Serenella$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298429003321 996 $aBiomedical Applications of Metals$92503046 997 $aUNINA
