Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| 1 | This lecture aims to provide students the necessary understanding of the analytical, kinetics, and metabolic basis of the major intoxications found in clinical setting. At the end of this lecture, students should be able to discriminate potentially lethal intoxications, to propose analytical tools to detect toxics in biological fluids and to interpret analytical results in a medical context. The 10h of practical exercises are only proposed to specialized pharmacists in training in clinical biology (Master complementary) |

Content
This lecture starts by a detailed review of the analytical methods available in clinical toxicology (immunoassays, chromatography including mass-spectrometric detection,
), together with basis of toxicokinetics. Major families of toxics are reviewed, and include solvants, CO, drugs of abuse, psychotropes, antidepressive drugs, sedatives
with some epidemiological, analytical, metabolic and clinical interpretation approaches. Practical exercises are offered to specialized pharmacists in clinical biology.
