Chronic toxicity studies are conducted over a long period of time, usually 12 months, to determine the effects of repeated exposure to a substance. They are guided by organizations like OECD and involve observations of animals dosed with the substance over their lifetime. Key steps include dosing animals at different levels and observing them for signs of toxicity, conducting clinical pathology tests, and examining organs at necropsy. The results are reported and discuss dose-response relationships and any target organs affected to understand the substance's chronic toxicity.
Toxicology is the branch of science that deals with nature, effects, and detection of poison. The degree to which a substance can harm an organism is called toxicity. The types of toxicity depending upon the time of exposure of the toxicant have been described.

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR TOXICOPATHOLOGY STUDYRahul Kadam
The nonclinical safety study recommendations for the marketing approval
of a pharmaceutical usually include single and repeated dose toxicity
studies, reproduction toxicity studies, genotoxicity studies, local tolerance
studies, and for drugs that have special cause for concern or are intended
for a long duration of use, an assessment of carcinogenic potential. Other
nonclinical studies include pharmacology studies for safety assessment
(safety pharmacology) and pharmacokinetic (absorption, distribution,
metabolism, and excretion (ADME)) studies. These types of studies and
their relation to the conduct of human clinical trials are presented in this
guidance.
This presentation is about toxic effects of different drugs and also how to reduce to its effect.

Toxicological Approach to Drug DiscoverySuhas Reddy C
For better understanding of students. This will give you a detailed explanation of Toxicological approach. Contact me through comment section if you need any assistance in understating
Drug development is the process of bringing a new pharmaceutical drug to the market once a lead compound has been identified through the process of drug discovery. It includes preclinical research on microorganisms and animals, filing for regulatory status, such as via the United States Food and Drug Administration for an investigational new drug to initiate clinical trials on humans, and may include the step of obtaining regulatory approval with a new drug application to market the drug
Drug development is considered as a series of well defined steps, culminating, if successful, in market authorization, of the drug

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.
