An in-depth analysis of the immune system, detailing the functions of both innate and adaptive immunity. The text explores the transition from acute to chronic inflammation, the impact of genetics (immunogenetics and immunogenomics), and the pathogenesis and clinical considerations of autoimmune diseases, cancer, and large-scale immune challenges like pandemics.
A comprehensive textbook detailing the fundamental and clinical aspects of transplantation immunology, covering basic immune system components, host responses to transplants (rejection, tolerance), therapeutic strategies including hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and immunosuppressive drugs, organ-specific features in clinical transplantation (kidney, liver, lung, heart, small bowel), complications, biomarkers, and emerging issues in the field.
This volume provides a platform for scientific contributions in the main disciplines of biomedicine and life sciences. It covers contemporary research in areas including microbiology, immunology, neurosciences, biochemistry, biomedical engineering, genetics, physiology, and cancer research, bringing together clinicians and researchers covering emerging topics and techniques in basic and clinical science.
A handbook offering simplified information and guidance on primary immune deficiencies (PID), specifically targeted towards pediatricians, general physicians, and medical students.
A clinical reference guide providing diagnostic and management protocols for physicians specializing in allergy, asthma, and immunology, published as part of The Washington Manual Subspecialty Consult series.
Detailed review material covering the fundamentals of adaptive immunity, including B-cell and T-cell differentiation, clonal selection, and the structure and function of immunoglobulin classes (IgG, IgM, IgA, IgE). Also includes an analysis and classification of the four major types of hypersensitivity reactions (Type I through Type IV).
A comprehensive educational sheet defining food allergy, differentiating it from food intolerance, detailing common mechanisms like IgE mediation, and explaining concepts such as the dual-allergen exposure hypothesis and Pollen-Food Syndrome (Oral Allergy Syndrome).
This book addresses the challenges in diagnosing autoimmune diseases, providing coverage of both systemic and organ-specific conditions. The diagnosis is defined based on the clinical phenotype encompassing consistent patterns of manifestations.
An illustrated atlas focusing on key concepts and visual representations in the field of Immunology, covering topics such as immunopathology and transplantation.
This review analyzes common and novel biomarkers used to measure inflammation and oxidative stress (OS) ex vivo in research and clinical practice. It addresses the need for valid, stable, and affordable markers to monitor chronic conditions (like cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases) and evaluate treatment efficacy, detailing standard acute-phase proteins (e.g., CRP, cytokines) and newer markers (e.g., lipid peroxidation products).
This volume provides comprehensive, step-by-step protocols and methodologies for the Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSpot (ELISPOT) assay. Following the standard set by the Methods in Molecular Biology series, each protocol is readily reproducible, offering introductory overviews, lists of materials and reagents, detailed procedures, and helpful notes with troubleshooting advice.
A professional journal volume dedicated to clinical articles and reviews in dental implantology, covering advanced surgical techniques such as minimally invasive crestal approach for sinus elevation, the evolution and advancement of dental implants, and treatment planning in the esthetic zone.
A comprehensive reference handbook covering essential knowledge and clinical recommendations for practitioners and students in general and clinical medicine.
An introductory overview of kidney function, including maintenance of homeostasis, excretion of metabolic wastes, hormonal roles (erythropoietin, calcitriol, renin), the anatomy of the nephron, the process of urine formation (glomerular filtration and tubular reabsorption), and the concept of renal threshold substances.
A comprehensive illustrated guide covering the general principles and specific techniques for clinical examination in orthopedics, focusing on the peripheral nervous system, and detailed examination of the cervical, dorsal, and lumbar spine, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, knee, and foot/ankle.
A classic one-volume textbook covering all aspects of MR musculoskeletal imaging. It details basic principles of interpretation, physics, and terminology, followed by a systematic presentation of diseases across different regions of the body. The 6th edition features updated pulse sequences, enhanced anatomy artwork, and new clinical content on disorders like greater trochanteric pain syndrome, arthrography techniques, and increased emphasis on the diabetic foot.
This book provides comprehensive guidance on vascular access procedures specifically for neonates and children. It covers general considerations, classification, indications, evidence-based rationale for ultrasound guidance, technical principles of ultrasonography, anatomical details, and advanced access methods including Near-InfraRed technology and tip location techniques.
