Adenosine Receptors in Health and Disease

Adenosine Receptors in Health and Disease
(Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology) (Volume 193)
By Constance N. Wilson, S. Jamal Mustafa

Publisher: Springer
Number Of Pages: 652
Publication Date: 2009-09-01
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 3540896147
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9783540896142

Product Description:
Since their discovery approximately 25 years ago, adenosine receptors have now emerged as important novel molecular targets in disease and drug discovery. These proteins play important roles in the entire spectrum of disease from inflammation to immune suppression. Because of their expression on a number of different cell types and in a number of different organ systems they play important roles in specific diseases, including asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, stroke, cancer, sepsis, and obesity. As a result of intense investigations into understanding the molecular structures and pharmacology of these proteins, new molecules have been synthesized that have high specificity for these proteins and are now entering clinical trials. These molecules will define the next new classes of drugs for a number of diseases with unmet medical needs.

Pharmacology: Principles and Practice

Pharmacology: Principles and Practice
By Miles Hacker, William S. Messer II, Kenneth A. Bachmann

Publisher: Academic Press

Number Of Pages: 640

Publication Date: 2009-09-14

ISBN-10 / ASIN: 012369521X

ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780123695215

Product Description:

This unique and much needed textbook meets the rapidly emerging needs of programs training pharmacologic scientists seeking careers in basic research and drug discovery rather than such applied fields as pharmacy and medicine. While the market is crowded with many clinical and therapeutic pharmacology textbooks, the field of pharmacology is booming with the prospects of discovering new drugs, and virtually no extant textbook meets this need at the student level. The market is so bereft of such approaches that many pharmaceutical companies will adopt Hacker, et al. to help train new drug researchers.

The boom in pharmacology is driven by the recent decryption of the human genome and enormous progress in controlling genes and synthesizing proteins, making new and even custom drug design possible. This book makes use of these discoveries in presenting its topics, moving logically from drug receptors to the target molecules drug researchers seek, covering such modern topics along the way as side effects, drug resistance, Pharmacogenomics, and even nutriceuticals, one in a string of culminating chapters on the drug discovery process.

*Uses individual drugs to explain molecular actions
*Full color art program explains molecular and chemical concepts graphically
*Logical structure reflecting the current state of pharmacology and translational research, starting with receptors and finishing with target molecules
*Covers such intricacies as drug resistance and cell death
*Consistent format across chapters and pedagogical strategies make this textbook a superior learning tool

Publication Date: 2004-03-04
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0387200908
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780387200903

Product Description:

Pathology of Asbestos-Associated Disease integrates the newest research and advances in its discussion of asbestos induced diseases. Organized in 13 chapters, the book begins with background information on the mineralogy of asbestos, occupation and environmental exposure to asbestos, and asbestosis. A detailed discussion on mesothelioma includes a historical background, addresses etiologic considerations and epidemiology, pathologic features, differential diagnosis and treatment and prognosis. Guidelines for assessing and identifying asbestos-associated carcinomas of the lung, including histopathology and differential diagnosis are discussed. The text also addresses the explosion of research in the area of molecular biology and the abundance of information bearing on the mechanisms by which asbestos causes disease. Chapters also cover cytopathology and experimental models of asbestos related diseases. The diseases associated with asbestos have significant medico-legal implications and there are two chapters dedicated to addressing the issue. More than 190 illustrations complement the text. An invaluable reference for the pathologist, pulmonologist, radiologist, and occupational medical practitioners interested in asbestos related disease as well as malpractice attorneys needing an understanding of asbestos, the diseases it induces, prognosis and clinical implications.

Human Malformations and Related Anomalies

Human Malformations and Related Anomalies
By Roger E. Stevenson, Judith G. Hall

Publisher: Oxford University Press
Number Of Pages: 1509
Publication Date: 2006
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0195165683
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780195165685
From the Preface:
Over a decade has separated the first and second editions of Human Malformations and Related Anomalies. This interval has been eventful from many standpoints. A major birth defects prevention strategy - periconceptional folic acid utilization - has proved effective in large-scale studies in several countries. New understandings of the genetic basis for malformations and malformation syndromes have emerged and made possible prenatal and postnatal laboratory diagnostic technologies. While molecular advances may be considered the most spectacular, significant advances in the biochemical and cytogenetic bases for malformations have also been impressive. The interval has brought us to the threshold of recognition of potential roles that epigenetic mechanisms, genomic changes, and disruption of molecular pathways exert on human development.

The Boundaries of Consciousness: Neurobiology and Neuropathology

The Boundaries of Consciousness: Neurobiology and Neuropathology
(Progress in Brain Research)
By Steven Laureys

Publisher: Elsevier Science
Number Of Pages: 632
Publication Date: 2006-09-07
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0444528768
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780444528766

Product Description:
Consciousness is one of the most significant scientific problems today. Renewed interest in the nature of consciousness - a phenomenon long considered not to be scientifically explorable, as well as increasingly widespread availability of multimodal functional brain imaging techniques (EEG, ERP, MEG, fMRI and PET), now offer the possibility of detailed, integrated exploration of the neural, behavioral, and computational correlates of consciousness. The present volume aims to confront the latest theoretical insights in the scientific study of human consciousness with the most recent behavioral, neuroimaging, electrophysiological, pharmacological and neuropathological data on brain function in altered states of consciousness such as: brain death, coma, vegetative state, minimally conscious state, locked-in syndrome, dementia, epilepsy, schizophrenia, hysteria, general anesthesia, sleep, hypnosis, and hallucinations. The interest of this is threefold. First, patients with altered states of consciousness continue to represent a major clinical problem in terms of clinical assessment of consciousness and daily management. Second, the exploration of brain function in altered states of consciousness represents a unique lesional approach to the scientific study of consciousness and adds to the worldwide effort to identify the "neural correlate of consciousness". Third, new scientific insights in this field have major ethical and social implications regarding our care for these patients.

Respiratory Disease and its Management

Respiratory Disease and its Management
(Competency-Based Critical Care)
By A. McLuckie

Publisher: Springer
Number Of Pages: 164
Publication Date: 2009-08-05
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1848820941
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781848820944

Product Description:

Medical training for Intensive Care Medicine (ICM) has made great developments over the years. Recent advances have led to the introduction of competency based training, with a strong focus on the development of specific competencies at basic, intermediate and advanced stages of learning. This ensures trainees hold the appropriate skills and knowledge to undertake safe clinical practice, and thus provide good patient care.

One of the key topics covered in ICM training is respiratory disease and its management. Based on this, it would therefore seem appropriate to introduce a text that addresses each of the key areas.

Forensic Comparative Science: Qualitative Quantitative Source Determination of Unique

Forensic Comparative Science: Qualitative Quantitative Source Determination of Unique Impressions, Images, and Objects
By John Vanderkolk

Publisher: Academic Press
Number Of Pages: 368
Publication Date: 2009-08-20
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0123735823
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780123735829

Product Description:
In 1993, a civil case entitled Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, 113 S. Ct. 2786, dealt with the admissibility of scientific evidence in Federal court. The Daubert decision states that the trial judge must screen scientific evidence to ensure it is relevant and reliable; the focus must be solely on principles and methodology, not on the conclusions they generate; and factors the court should consider include testing and validation, peer review, rate of error, and general acceptance within the scientific community. The Daubert decision allows for the validity of evidence to be challenged - particularly in the realm of the comparative sciences (fingerprints, toolmarks, firearms, etc.).
Forensic Comparative Examinations uses the Daubert decision to bring the comparative sciences under one philosophy of understanding in regards to terminology, examination methods, and standards for conclusions. The text covers a summary of philosophy, psychology, and history in the forensic comparative sciences, as well as the development of expertise required to examine images. The book includes very detailed discussions of the examination method of ACE+V, levels within levels of image details of repeatable and unique features of the source, QQ threshold relationships, and standards and ranges for conclusions that need to be consistent throughout the comparative sciences. Examination, conclusions, and legal issues are also presented.
- Brings the forensic comparative sciences into one volume, and applies common terminology in order to improve understanding of evidence standards and meet Daubert challenges
- Provides standards for conclusions including sufficiency vs. insufficiency for comparisons, individualization, agreement vs. disagreement, and level of detail required
- Helps readers understand and appreciate the importance of the comparative sciences to the criminal justice system

Instant Anatomy, 2nd Edition

Instant Anatomy, 2nd Edition

http://www.book4doc.com/79442

Robert H. Whitaker, Neil R. Borley, "Instant Anatomy, 2nd Edition"
Blackwell Publishers | 2000-05-15 | ISBN: 0632054034 | 205 pages | PDF | 9,2 MB

Instant Anatomy is quite different from the vast number of other anatomy books. The clever structure of the information facilitates accurate and speedy retrieval of anatomical facts, and is very popular with students.Two features make the book especially useful. First, it stresses anatomical relationships which are even more important now with the increased use of cross sectional scanning and computer generated reconstructional imaging. Second, it allows structures such as blood vessels and nerves to be seen in their entirety instead of regionally as they are so often described in standard textbooks. The section on the autonomic nervous system has been expanded in this second edition to meet the needs of students who often find this area of knowledge so difficult.

ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0521860857
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780521860857

Product Description:
Image processing is a hands-on discipline, and the best way to learn is by doing. This text takes its motivation from medical applications and uses real medical images and situations to illustrate and clarify concepts and to build intuition, insight and understanding. Designed for advanced undergraduates and graduate students who will become end-users of digital image processing, it covers the basics of the major clinical imaging modalities, explaining how the images are produced and acquired. It then presents the standard image processing operations, focusing on practical issues and problem solving. Crucially, the book explains when and why particular operations are done, and practical computer-based activities show how these operations affect real images. All images, links to the public-domain software ImageJ and custom plug-ins, and selected solutions are available from http://www.book4doc.com/73716.

Language Lateralization and Psychosis

Language Lateralization and Psychosis
By Iris E. C. Sommer, Ren S. Kahn

Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Number Of Pages: 216
Publication Date: 2009-05-11
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0521882842
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780521882842

Product Description:
In 1861 Paul Broca discovered that, in most individuals, the left hemisphere of the brain is dominant for language. Taking language as an example, the first part of this book explains the normal development of bodily asymmetry and lateralization, its association with hand preference, genetic aspects, geographical differences and the influence of gender. The coverage then moves on to review the association between language lateralization and psychosis, describing findings in patients with schizophrenia to suggest the dominant hemisphere may fail to completely inhibit the language areas in the non-dominant half. The language allowed to 'release' from the right hemisphere can lead to psychotic symptoms including auditory verbal hallucinations and formal thought disorder. This book should be read by psychiatrists, neurologists and neuroscientists working in the field of psychosis and other brain scientists interested in laterality.

Publication Date: 2009-05-01
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 3642014682
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9783642014680

Product Description:
Rapid or even dramatic progress has been made in the field of AMD over recent years, leading to a constant revision of basic concepts. A wide range of fundus imaging modalities are now available, and this book explains the respective value of each technique. The information provided by OCT is presented logically by comparison with plain films, autofluorescence, fluorescein angiography, or indocyanine green angiography. Meticulous biomicroscopic examination of macular changes and the essential value of fluorescein angiography for the detection of anatomical alterations of the macula and for precise evaluation of lesions and their course by indocyanine green angiography have naturally led the author Gabriel Coscas to analyze the new data provided by OCT.
