Book Synopsis Contemporary Topics in Immunobiology by : Max Cooper
Download or read book Contemporary Topics in Immunobiology written by Max Cooper and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary immunobiology is an ever-diversifying field that embraces many aspects of cellular and humoral immune responsiveness. This includes the phylogeny, ontogeny, induction, regulation, expression, and differentiation of the immune-cell series, as well as the relationship of these to the pathogenesis of many disease processes. It is clearly beyond the limitations of each volume in this series to comprehensively cover progress in each of these fields. Three general areas of contemporary investigations are discussed in the current issue: cellular events of B cell differentiation, including antigen recognition and respon siveness of B lymphocytes; regulation of the immune response by T cells, and the roles of this regulatory system in allotype suppression and in autoimm unity; and the genetic control of immune responses and its possible relation to disease pathogenesis. Analysis of responsiveness of B lymphocytes has been greatly aided by the availability of athymic nude mice. The immunological responsiveness of these mice to a wide range of stimuli has been reviewed and analyzed by H. H. Wortis. This article concludes with the provocative thesis that in the future "nudes will supply new rather than confirmatory data . . . (especially regarding) the develop ment of neoplasia. " In contrast to the studies on the congenitally athymic mice, G. F.

Book Synopsis Human Trophoblast Neoplasms by : Ronald A. Pattillo
Download or read book Human Trophoblast Neoplasms written by Ronald A. Pattillo and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-13 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses neoplasms of the human trophoblast. The scant literature available on the epidemiology of trophoblast neoplasms suggests that they are as much as ten times more common in Africa, Asia, India, and much of the developing world than in Western countries. The stimulus for the book evolved out of a common interest to combine Western technology with the clinical experience in the developing world in a common pursuit of the study and eradication of trophoblast neoplasia. There is substantial evidence to contend that gene derepression as seen in trophoblastic disease may be a universal prerequisite to neoplastic transformation in general. The recent discovery that the tumor markers, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) or its subunits, are identifiable in over 90 percent of all extracted neoplasms suggests a critical role for this common denominator of gene derepression in neoplasia. This gene derepression concept in reproductive biology and neoplasia spans many of the basic parameters of human cell replication as related to endocrinology, immunology, biochemistry, electrophysiol ogy, genetics, and pharmacology. The International Society for the Study of Trophoblastic Disease focuses on the global aspects of trophoblast neoplasms. These global aspects include epidemiology and etiology of the disease, regional variations in treatment of trophoblastic neoplasms, and potential ways to adapt and apply Western technology to effective use in developing countries. It was this perspective that formed the basis for the First World Congress on Trophoblast Neoplasms, which convened in Nairobi in October, 1982.
Book Synopsis Paediatric Research by : M. Adinolfi
Download or read book Paediatric Research written by M. Adinolfi and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1982-04-22 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subjects reviewed in this Monograph span a wide and exciting field, reflecting many different specialities. They are, however, also closely interrelated as they reflect the eclectic nature of Professor Paul Polani's intellectual interests. The chapters are written by present and past members of his Unit - a Unit internationally recognized for its astute and stimulating discoveries and innovations. The chapters pay tribute to the fact that Paul Polani's viewpoint is that a multidisciplinary approach to the subject of disease is most effective when motivated by genetic philosophy. On this theme the book provides insight into the latest ideas on the genetics of handicap - including counselling, population cytogenetics, prevention of biochemical genetic disorders, repairing genetic damage, the epidemiology of congenital defects, and the prevention of neural-tube defects. All these and the other chapters provide an essential basis for understanding the fields of prevention and treatment.
Book Synopsis Fetal Physiology and Medicine by : Richard W. Beard
Download or read book Fetal Physiology and Medicine written by Richard W. Beard and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 840 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fetal Physiology and Medicine: The Basis of Perinatology, Second, Revised Edition documents many of the major advances in fetal medicine, including developmental physiology, pathology, and therapy. This book covers the most important areas of maternofetal medicine and presents different views of the critical problems of development. The various components of fetal metabolism are highlighted to demonstrate how animal experimentation has given a clear view of the interrelationship of the mother, placenta, and fetus. This text is comprised of 24 chapters; the first of which describes the use of ultrasound in antenatal diagnosis of congenital structural anomalies. This topic is followed by a discussion on sexual differentiation, acquired immunity, and endocrine changes, as well as the physiology of breathing, the control of the fetal cardiovascular system, lung maturation, fetal infections, and the effects of hypoxia on the fetal brain. This book also provides comprehensive reviews of fetal regulatory mechanisms, such as the reninangiotensin system, water metabolism, and fetal and placental hormone production. Other chapters focus on clinical applications, such as antenatal fetal heart rate monitoring, the technical aspects of fetal and uterine pressure measurements, fetal acid-base balance, and the prevention of preterm delivery. A section that explores the transition from intrauterine to extrauterine life concludes this book. This source is of great potential value to all students and practitioners of reproductive medicine.

Book Synopsis Developmental Immunotoxicology by : Steven D. Holladay
Download or read book Developmental Immunotoxicology written by Steven D. Holladay and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2004-11-15 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite rapidly increasing interest in developmental immunotoxicology, there is not yet a textbook focused on this hot area of research. Developmental Immunotoxicology fills the void with overviews of immune system development in experimental animal and human models, and discusses the complex issues related to the evolution of developmental immunology and risk assessment. This text describes different models used to study developmental immunotoxicology and examples of specific developmental immunotoxic agents, including therapeutics. The text concludes with several chapters that describe the role of neuroimmune interactions as they relate to developmental immunotoxicology. Using a didactic approach, Developmental Immunotoxicology provides an explanatory overview of this cutting-edge field for toxicologists, immunologists, and developmental biologists. It provides a lucid account of this area of research-proposing answers to some questions and stimulating debate on those questions yet to be addressed by the research community.

Book Synopsis Human Fetal Growth and Development by : Niranjan Bhattacharya
Download or read book Human Fetal Growth and Development written by Niranjan Bhattacharya and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-17 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique book delves into the mysteries of human fetal growth and maturation. Growing knowledge in genetics indicates that factors that impact on/influence fetal growth and maturation may have a role in determining a person’s health and disease in later years. Placental, maternal, environmental, nutrient as well as fetal genome factors each play a role in producing a healthy, unhealthy or abnormal baby. A study of fetal growth and maturation is therefore basic to the understanding of why fetal growth problems occur, what implications these can have for adult disease, and how clinical intervention can help to reverse growth problems. The present study will be comprehensive and will be a major contribution to the fields of gynecology, genetics, obstetrics, biochemistry, molecular biology and clinical medicine. It will include cutting edge research in the field as well as explorations on clinical interventions in fetal growth, which will not only add to existing knowledge but also prompt future research. The two Editors are distinguished in their fields and both have extensive clinical and research experience. They felt that they could use their expertise to create a book that will help students, practitioners, researchers and others to understand the subject of gestation, growth and maturation and its implications from a multi-dimensional point of view, which will help them develop their own expertise in a cutting-edge and developing field. They have brought toget her medical scientists, clinical practitioners, embryologists, endocrinologists, immunologists, gynecologists, obstetricians, reproductive and molecular biologists, geneticists and many others to create a state-of-the-art book on a subject with increasing demand for further knowledge. It aims to integrates different disciplines to give a holistic view of human fetal growth maturation.
