TOXICOLOGY

(EPIDEMIOLOGY follows this toxicology section, below.)
Toxicology is the study of substances that are poisonous to the human body. Toxicologists detect and identify drugs in the bloodstream, other bodily fluids, tissues and organs. These doctors often work in laboratories.

Common forms of testing for alcohol are used, such as a Breathalyser test, which can detect signs of toxics from the saliva and breath of the testee. However, more complicated and accurate forms of testing can be used such as Gas Chromatography, Infra-red Detection, Color testing, Microcrystalline Testing, Spectrophotometry, and Chromatography.

Define: " Epidemiology" -- in the term Aids Epidemiology

Epidemiology, defined literally, is the study of epidemics in man (i.e., humans). It is a broad field of study that uses principles of investigation, medicine, and biostatistical methodology. There are many different types of Epidemiology , just as there are many different specialties within medicine. Although the recognition of Epidemiology as its own field of study is fairly recent, Epidemiology has been the foundation of public health and medicine throughout history.

Epidemiology in its broadest sense is the study of disease patterns in human populations. Its methods can also be used to study diseases in animal populations, though in this instance it would be called epizoology. Epidemiologists work in variety of settings. Some epidemiologists work "in the field" meaning theyare at the forefront of combatting disease outbreaks all over the world. Typically, field epidemiologists are working to determine the cause of a infectious disease outbreak or epidemic. Epidemiologists also study so-called chronic diseases such as heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and cancer. Clinical trials that test new treatments and medications alost require theexpertise of epidemiologists to be conducted properly.

By studying disease patterns in populations through the use of basic demographics or complex genetic and environmental influences, Epieemiology can identify potential risk factors for disease and help determine ways of prevention (as in the case of HIV / AIDS ).

The advancement of modern medicine relies upon sound epidemiological methods.
