Download or read book The Elusive Magic Bullet written by J. Mann and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1999 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his exciting new book, John Mann, author of the highly successful Murder, Magic, and Medicine, reveals the history of the drugs that are so commonplace today in the treatment of disease. While we can now treat so many of these illnesses, the side-effects caused by many of these treatmentscan be severe, and even more worrying - the bacteria are now becoming more resistant to the drugs (the so-called 'superbugs'). Scientists are also faced with a massive challenge in developing drugs that can effectively treat HIV, ebola, and many forms of cancer, but without the terribleside-effects of such treatments as chemotherapy or AZT - this is the quest for the 'magic bullet.' The book starts with a history of drug development, introducing us to some of the fascinating characters whose work so influenced the search for these drugs. Leading up to the present day, and theexciting advances being made within molecular biology, the book provides a lively, and fascinating introduction for non-scientists to one of the most exciting fields of activity within modern medicine.
Download or read book Life Saving Drugs written by John Mann and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2007-10-31 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1900 only a handful of drugs (morphine, quinine, aspirin, etc) had genuine efficacy but had little value for bacterial or viral infections or cancer. These conditions were usually untreatable. Now there are literally thousands of drugs which offer cures or greatly extended life-spans for those with life-threatening conditions. Life Saving Drugs: the Elusive Magic Bullet describes the discovery and development of antibacterial, anti-viral and anti-cancer drugs. The book highlights the colourful characters behind the inventions and the huge improvements in quality of life and life-expectancy that these drugs have produced. Emphasis is given to the new drugs that have emerged as a result of knowledge of the human genome, and the ways in which the newer drugs are being designed to tackle disease, particularly cancer, at the genetic level. Chemical structures are provided for all of the key drugs and the book is well illustrated. Life Saving Drugs: the Elusive Magic Bullet can be read as a history of drug development during the past 100 years by those with only a passing knowledge of chemistry. For anyone entering the medical profession, pharmacy, or nursing, it will provide a superb basic knowledge of all drugs they are ever likely to meet, including their modes of action. For the chemist or medicinal chemist, it will provide the fundamental knowledge of life-saving drugs that they all should know. And for the non-scientist who wants to know about 'super-bugs', SARS, Ebola, and all of the wonderful advances in treating cancer, it is illuminating and easy to read.

Book Synopsis The Magic Bullet by : Allan R. Baylis
Download or read book The Magic Bullet written by Allan R. Baylis and published by Global Professional Pub. This book was released on 2012 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Magic Bullet is a 21-day action plan that will improve all areas in your life. Have you ever wondered why so few take action with their ideas only to see others pass them by? The Magic Bullet will show you how to be one of the 5% who put thoughts into action. This action-oriented book focuses on implementation. Since implementation happens through daily application, Allan Baylis has designed an action plan that the reader must commit to for 21 consecutive days. The first part of the book delineates ten important attitudes and an MDA (method of daily application) for the user. Baylis argues that there has been an overemphasis on drilling for relevant skills and little emphasis on developing a positive learning attitude. The author believes that the 10 attitudes presented in the book, implemented on a daily basis, will have a positive effect on attitudinal growth. When you change an attitude you change everything. After exploring the 10 attitudes, Baylis presents people skills, the most important skill of all. Different personalities process information in different ways. When you learn how other personalities process information, you become more flexible. The skills section shows the reader how to read and adjust to other personalities to improve communication skills. An improved attitude coupled with improved people skills is what The Magic Bullet is all about.

Download or read book Exploring the Universe written by P. Day and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1997 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of our present knowledge of the universe has come from observations made over the centuries with ever more powerful telescopes, operating from isolated mountain tops. But the Hubble Space Telescope, the first to be launched into space, is revolutionizing our ability to picture and understand the universe. In Exploring the Universe, astronomer Alexander Boksenberg shows how a star is born and how the magnificent pictures taken by the Hubble Space Telescope will enable us to explore the universe in ever more depth. This selection of essays from experts in their fields - exploring subjects from magic bullets derived from traditional folk medicines, to the role science can play in understanding the work of Mondrian and other artists - taken from the Royal Institution's Evening Discourses provides an authoritative and accessible summary of current thinking in many areas of science and technology.
Book Synopsis The Lock and Key of Medicine by : Lara V. Marks
Download or read book The Lock and Key of Medicine written by Lara V. Marks and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to tell the extraordinary yet unheralded history of monoclonal antibodies. Often referred to as Mabs, they are unfamiliar to most nonscientists, yet these microscopic protein molecules are everywhere, quietly shaping our lives and healthcare. Discovered in the mid-1970s in the laboratory where Watson and Crick had earlier unveiled the structure of DNA, Mabs have radically changed understandings of the pathways of disease. They have enabled faster, cheaper, and more accurate clinical diagnostic testing on a vast scale. And they have played a fundamental role in pharmaceutical innovation, leading to such developments as recombinant interferon and insulin, and personalized drug therapies such as Herceptin. Today Mabs constitute six of the world’s top ten blockbuster drugs and make up a third of new introduced treatments. Lara V. Marks recounts the risks and opposition that a daring handful of individuals faced while discovering and developing Mabs, and she addresses the related scientific, medical, technological, business, and social challenges that arose. She offers a saga of entrepreneurs whose persistence and creativity ultimately changed the healthcare landscape and brought untold relief to millions of patients. Even so, as Marks shows, controversies over Mabs remain, and she examines current debates over the costs and effectiveness of these innovative drugs.

Book Synopsis Current Trends in Microbial Biotechnology for Sustainable Agriculture by : Ajar Nath Yadav
Download or read book Current Trends in Microbial Biotechnology for Sustainable Agriculture written by Ajar Nath Yadav and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microbial biotechnology is an emerging field with applications in a broad range of sectors involving food security, human nutrition, plant protection and overall basic research in the agricultural sciences. The environment has been sustaining the burden of mankind from time immemorial, and our indiscriminate use of its resources has led to the degradation of the climate, loss of soil fertility, and the need for sustainable strategies. The major focus in the coming decades will be on achieving a green and clean environment by utilizing soil and plant-associated beneficial microbial communities. Plant-microbe interactions include the association of microbes with plant systems: epiphytic, endophytic and rhizospheric. The microbes associated with plant ecosystems play an important role in plant growth, development, and soil health. Moreover, soil and plant microbiomes help to promote plant growth, either directly or indirectly by means of plant growth-promoting mechanisms, e.g. the release of plant growth regulators; solubilization of phosphorus, potassium and zinc; biological nitrogen fixation; or by producing siderophores, ammonia, HCN and other secondary metabolites. These beneficial microbial communities represent a novel and promising solution for agro-environmental sustainability by providing biofertilizers, bioprotectants, and biostimulants, in addition to mitigating various types of abiotic stress in plants. This book focuses on plant-microbe interactions; the biodiversity of soil and plant microbiomes; and their role in plant growth and soil health. Accordingly, it will be immensely useful to readers working in the biological sciences, especially microbiologists, biochemists and microbial biotechnologists.
