Book Info:
Rheumatoid arthritis is a crippling disease, affecting individuals in the prime of their life. This disease is emerging as a paradigm for complex autoimmune syndromes in which multiple genetic risk determinants in combination with non-inherited factors predispose individuals to generate chronically persistent and destructive immune responses. As a consequence of exploring the immunopathology of rheumatoid arthritis, biologic response modifiers have been introduced as a fundamental new therapeutic strategy for this clinically challenging disease. This book, the third volume of the new series "Current Directions in Autoimmunity", is the first one to exclusively focus on one disease. Written by experts in genetics and immunobiology, the articles reflect the complexity and multiple facets of the disease process but also show their convergence to a better understanding of pathogenetic mechanisms and the evolving clinical applications.

Book Info:
This landmark publication provides the first definitive account of how and why subtle influences on the fetus and during early life can have such profound consequences for adult health and diseases. Although the epidemiological evidence for this link has long proved compelling, it is only much more recently that the scientific and physiological basis for this has begun to be studied in depth and fully understood. This compilation, written by many of the world's leading experts in this exciting field, summarizes these scientific and clinical advances. The link between early development and the onset of many chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, diabetes and osteoporosis, also raises important public health issues. Another fascinating theme in the book concerns evolutionary developmental biology and how the 'evo-devo' debate can cast light on these concepts. Clinicians and scientists alike will all learn a lot about this exciting and emerging field.

• Links early development to the onset of many chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, diabetes and osteoporosis
• Explains concepts, possible mechanisms, outcomes and public health consequences

Book Description
Staphylococcus aureus is now acknowledged as being the most important bacterial pathogen of humans. It usually produces localized disease but can be rapidly invasive, spreading through the tissues, invading bone, and seeding the bloodstream to produce a fulminant picture of septic shock, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and rapid death. Moreover, most strains of staph infections are becoming resistant to most antibiotics, thus posing a significant problem for hospitals and health care facilities. This book, a volume in the Infectious Agents and Pathogenesis series, presents chapters by the major researchers in the field.

Several viruses are capable of causing hepatic inflammation. These include the Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus, mumps, rubella, rubeola and varicella-zoster viruses, yellow fever virus, Coxsackie viruses, and adenoviruses. In most cases, infection or inflammation of the liver is part of a systemic infection with the above agents. In addition, there are a number of viruses that are primarily hepatotropic and are given alphabetical designations: hepatitis A–E. Several other viruses that were initially
thought to cause posttransfusion hepatitis, including hepatitis G virus or GBV-C and SEN viruses, are not currently believed to be human pathogens. Of the truly hepatotropic viruses, hepatitis A and hepatitis E generally produce self-limited disease, although fulminant hepatic failure has been reported in up to 1%–2% of infected individuals. Hepatitis D virus (or the delta agent) can produce coinfections in patients who are infected with hepatitis B, but it appears to be incapable of causing serious disease in the absence of hepatitis B virus. Hepatitis B and C viruses are arguably the most important viruses of this group. In addition to acute infections, exposure to these viruses frequently results in a chronic persistent infection that may remain asymptomatic or lead to cirrhosis, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Chronic infections with hepatitis C virus are currently responsible for an increasing percentage of liver transplantations performed in the United States and elsewhere. Because of the large number of patients worldwide who suffer from chronic infections with these two agents, they are arguably the most important viral cause of carcinoma in the world. In recent years, we have learned a great deal about the biology of hepatitis B and C viruses and have gained increasing knowledge of the pathophysiology of the disease they cause in the liver. Concomitant with our understanding of these processes has been the development of a variety of therapeutic modalities, ranging from relatively specific, classic antiviral agents (including lamivudine, adefovir, tenofovir, ribavirin, and a number of new investigational agents) to drugs such as interferon-a, which also have ommunomodulatory effects. Vaccine strategies likewise play an important role in preventing hepatitis B. The rapidity of new developments in our understanding of the pathophysiology and management of infections due to hepatitis B and C make it increasingly difficult for the practicing physician to keep up with the field.

For these reasons, we have assembled in this issue of the Infectious Disease Clinics of North America a series of articles written by experts in the field of hepatitis B and C infections. Taken in aggregate, they provide useful, lucid, up-to-date information on the management of hepatitis B and C infections..

Guidelines for the Treatment of Malaria

Product Details:
Publisher - WHO
Year 2006
ISBN-13 9789241546942
ISBN-10 9241546948

Summary
Malaria is an important cause of death and illness in children and adults in tropical countries. Mortality, currently estimated at over a million people per year, has risen in recent years, probably due to increasing resistance to antimalarial medicines. Malaria control requires an integrated approach comprising prevention including vector control and treatment with effective antimalarials.The affordable and widely available antimalarial chloroquine which was in the past a mainstay of malaria control is now ineffective in most falciparum malaria endemic areas, and resistance to sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine is increasing rapidly. The discovery and development of the artemisinin derivatives in China, and their evaluation in south-east Asia and other regions have provided a new class of highly effective antimalarials, and have already transformed the chemotherapy of malaria in south-east Asia. Artemisinin-based combination treatments (ACTs) are now generally considered as the best current treatment for uncomplicated falciparum malaria.

These treatment guidelines recommend antimalarials for which there is adequate evidence of efficacy and safety now, and which are unlikely to be affected by resistance in the near future. Much of the world's symptomatic malaria is treated in peripheral health centres or remote villages, where facilities are limited. The aim is therefore to provide simple and straightforward treatment recommendations based on sound evidence that can be applied effectively in most settings. The purpose of this document is to provide comprehensible, global, evidence-based guidelines to help formulate policies and protocols for the treatment of malaria. Information is presented on the treatment of uncomplicated malaria, including disease in special groups (young children, pregnant women, people who are HIV positive, travellers from non-malaria endemic regions) and in complex emergency situations and severe malaria. The guidelines do not deal with preventive uses of antimalarials, such as intermittent preventive treatment or chemoprophylaxis.

The guidelines are aimed primarily at policy-makers in ministries of health. Public health and policy specialists working in hospitals, ministries, nongovernmental organizations and primary health care services as well as health professionals (doctors, nurses and paramedical officers) should also find them useful.

When you hear the words “germ,” “bacteria,” and “virus” you might cringe, running or the nearest sink to wash your hands. These words may bring back memories of when you caught a cold or the flu—never a pleasant experience. Germs, bacteria, viruses and other microscopic organisms are called microorganisms, or microbes for short. And as you’ll learn throughout this book, some microbes cause disease while others help fight it.

Think for a moment. Right now there are thousands of tiny microbes living on the tip of your finger in a world that is so small that it can only be visited by using a microscope. In this book we’ll show you how to visit this world and how to interact with these tiny creatures that call the tip of your finger home.

The microscopic world was first visited in the late 1600s by the Dutch merchant and amateur scientist Antoni van Leeuwenhoek. He was able to see living microorganisms by using a single-lens microscope. We’ve come a long way since Van Leeuwenhoek’s first visit. Today scientists are able to see through some microbes and study the organelles that bring them to life.

It wasn’t until the Golden Age of Microbiology between 1857 and 1914 when scientists such as Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch made a series of discoveries that rocked the scientific community. During this period scientists identified microbes that caused diseases, learned how to cure those diseases, and then prevented them from occurring through the use of immunization.

Scientists were able to achieve these remarkable discoveries by using culturing techniques to grow colonies of microbes in the laboratory. Once microbes could be grown at will, scientists focused their experiments on ways to slow that growth and stop microbes in their tracks—killing the microbe and curing the disease caused by the microbe.

Culturing microbes is central to the study of microbiology. You’ll be using many of the same culturing techniques described in this book to colonize microbes in your college laboratory. We provide step-by-step instructions on how to do this.You would find it difficult to live without the aid of microbes. For example, living inside your intestines are colonies of microorganisms. Just this thought is enough to make your skin crawl. As frightful as this thought might be, however, these microbes actually assist your body in digesting food. That is, you might have difficulty digesting some foods if these microbes did not exist.

Microbes in your intestines are beneficial to you as long as they remain in your intestines. However, you’ll become very ill should they decide to wander into other parts of your body. Don’t become too concerned—these microbes tend to stay at home unless your intestines are ruptured as a result of trauma.

By the end of this book you’ll learn about the different types of microbes, how to identify them by using a microscope, and how to cultivate colonies of microbes.

Book Description:

HIV Medicine 2006 is the 14th edition of a medical textbook that provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the treatment of HIV Infection.

Hardly any field of medicine has ever undergone a similar stormy development to that of the therapy of HIV infection. Little more than 10
years passed, between the discovery of the pathogen and the first effective treatment! However, there is also hardly a field that is subjected to so many fast- and short-lived trends. What today seems to be statute, is tomorrow often already surpassed. Nevertheless, therapeutical freedom must not be confused with freedom of choice.

As in previous years, all chapters of the 14th edition have been thoroughly revised, and new chapters have been added (HIV and Renal Disease, Sexual Dysfunction in HIV/AIDS). Again, the book is freely available on the Internet. That is the way, we firmly believe, that medical textbooks should be handled in the 21st century.

Book Description:
Listeria monocytogenes is widely dispersed in the environment and foods and is capable of growing even at refrigeration temperatures. Foodborne listeriosis, although relatively rare, is a clinically serious disease with a high case-fatality rate that largely affects specific higher-risk segments of the population. Cases of listeriosis appear to be predominately associated with ready-to-eat products. FAO and WHO have undertaken a risk assessment to addresses the risk of listeriosis associated with these foods and specific risk management questions posed by the Codex Committee on Food Hygiene (CCFH) This volume provides a summary of that risk assessment.

The interpretative summary includes an overview of the risk assessment with a particular focus on information that would be relevant to risk managers faced with addressing problems posed by this pathogen in ready-to-eat foods. It includes answers to the specific risk management questions posed by the CCFH and outlines the issues to be considered when implementing control measures, including the establishment of microbiological criteria.

This volume and others in this Microbiological Risk Assessment Series contain information that is useful to both risk assessors and risk managers, the Codex Alimentarius Commission, governments and food regulatory agencies, industries and other people or institutions with an interest in the area of Listeria monocytogenes, its impact of public health and food trade and the use microbiological risk assessment in its control.

Viral Pathogenesis and Immunity

Viral Pathogenesis and Immunity
by Neal Nathanson (Author), Rafi Ahmed (Author), Margo A. Brinton (Author)

Product Details:
Paperback: 220 pages
Publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins; 1 edition (2002)
Language: English
ISBN: 0781711037

This book emphasizes the latter ability in that it discusses the details of how the immune system responds to a viral invasion. When compared with most books on virology, this one is relatively short, but it gives enough details to be helpful to those readers how have a genuine curiosity about immunology. Students of microbiology will probably be exposed to more detailed treatments, but can no doubt use this book as a supplement to their studies. Readers will need background in genetics, biochemistry, and microbiology to read the book, but the preparation is reasonable for non-experts (such as this reviewer). A helpful summary of each chapter's content is included at the end of each chapter.

Everything about viral immunology is fascinating, and examples of this that are discussed in this book include:
1. The phenomenon called `tropism', which is the restriction of viral replication to specific tissues and cells.
2. The lifecycle of arboviruses alternates between the insect vector and the vertebrate host.
3. Certain viruses can remain in the blood for very long periods of time and evade the immune system.
4. Most RNA viruses have the ability to replicate within neural processes.
5. Some viruses can disseminate by both viremia and neural spread.
6. Some viruses can be shed from the skin (a good example of this is the bioterrorism against American Indian tribes by using blankets containing skin particles from persons who had smallpox).
7. The role of VAPs (virion surface proteins) in allowing a virus to attach to its cellular receptor.
8. More dangerous viruses are associated with the ability to spread more widely in vivo.
9. Virus replication is restricted to a particular range in temperatures.
10. Viral infection does not necessarily disrupt normal cell activity due to the enormous number of proteins produced by the cell daily.
11. Given the optimal conditions, viral dissemination does not seem to have an upper bound.
12. Viral infection need not occur even though the virus initiates the correct pathologic processes in the cell.
13. Membrane permeability can be altered by viruses via the introduction of viral proteins that act as ion channels.
14. Some viruses can block the apoptosis pathway, which prolongs the production of the viruses by the infected cells.
15. The role of the interferon (IFN) system in combating viral infection. The IFN system can produce nearly one hundred proteins, some of which can interfere with virus replication.
16. The role of `natural killer (NK) cells' in combating viral infection.
17. The experimental methods used to measure the ability of the antibody to bind to viral antigens.
18. The mechanism by which antiviral antibodies can bind to the virus and neutralize it.
19. The immune systems acts in short time scales via the effector cells, and on long time scales via the antibody response.
20. The phenomenon of viral disease mediated by the immune system response to infection rather than the infection itself.

And there are some open questions that arise in the book:
1. A detailed explanation of the role of the fusion of viral and plasma membranes in viral entry.
2. A thorough understanding of the steps taken in the transmission of the nucleocapsid into the cell nucleus.
3. A complete understanding of the mechanism by which NK cells protect against viral infection.
4. An understanding of the mechanism by which an antibody can act on the intracellular phase of the replication of the virus, and the role it plays (if any) in viral infections.
5. A thorough understanding of the ability of an extracellular stimulus to purge the intracellular viral RNA and proteins.

All of the discussions in the book will convince the reader that viruses are highly resilient organisms that make use of many different mechanisms for replication and infection. A natural question to ask is whether using the techniques of genetic engineering one could engineer a "universal" or "supervirus" that could replicate and infect a host for any particular host biology. The virus would then have the ability to tune its replication and infection mechanism to the host at hand. The study of this book casts doubt on this possibility. It is readily apparent from a study of this book that virus infectivity is very specific to the biology of the host. This does not rule it seems the engineering of a virus that can target a particular host genome. There is no evidence (that this reviewer is aware of) from the literature on genetic engineering that such a virus, called a 'genome-targeted' virus in some popular accounts, is of interest in the scientific research community. If such research is being conducted it is no doubt done in a classified environment. Such a virus it seems would be of great interest to those who are involved in research in gene therapy.

Product Details
Hardcover: 804 pages
Publisher: American Society Microbiology; 1 edition (December 1999)
Language: English
ISBN: 1555811272

Book Description
Designed to fill the existing gap between introductory texts and very advanced reviews of major virus families, Principles of Virology introduces upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, and medical students to all aspects of virology. Written in an engagingly readable style and generously illustrated with over 400 full-color illustrations, this approachable volume offers detailed examples that illustrate common principles, specific strategies adopted by different viruses to ensure their reproduction, and the current state of virology research.
It presents a principles-based discussion of virology, emphasizing the common reactions that must be completed by all viruses for successful reproduction within a host cell and survival and spread within a host population. The molecular basis of alternative reproductive cycles, the interactions of viruses with host organisms, and how these lead to disease are presented with examples drawn from a set of representative animal viruses.

Divided into chapters focusing on specific topics rather than individual viruses, the book allows the student to visualize common themes that cut across virus families, emphasizing the shared features of different viruses. Drawing on the extensive teaching experience of each of its distinguished authors, it illustrates the why and how animal viruses are studied, taking well-known systems and demonstrating how the knowledge gained from these model virus can be used to study viral systems about which our knowledge is still quite limited.

A discussion of viruses in early human cultures, how viruses were discovered, and how the discipline of virology came to be is also provided.

Chemokine Biology - Basic Research and Clinical Application

Chemokine Biology - Basic Research and Clinical Application: Vol. 1: Immunobiology of Chemokines (Progress in Inflammation Research)

Hardcover: 208 pages
Publisher: Birkhauser; 1 edition (December 22, 2005)
Language: English
ISBN: 376436825X

Book Description
Chemokines play an important role in recruiting inflammatory cells into tissues in response to infection and inflammation. They also play an important role in coordinating the movement of T-cells, B-cells and dentritic cells, necessary to generate an immune response (response to injury, allergens, antigens, invading microorganisms). They selectively attract leukocytes to inflammatory foci, inducing both cell migration and activation. They are involved in various diseases, like atherosclerosis, lung and skin inflammation, multiple sclerosis, or HIV.Volume 1 of this two-volume set discusses the immunobiology of chemokines. It is divided into two parts: a) cellular targets in innate and adaptive immunity, and b) effector cell traffic-unrelated functions. Together with volume 2, which discusses the pathophysiology of chemokines, both volumes give a comprehensive overview of chemokine biology.

Complement and Kidney Disease

Complement and Kidney Disease Series: Progress in Inflammation Research
Zipfel, Peter F. (Ed.)

2006, XVI, 236 p., Hardcover
ISBN-10: 3-7643-7166-8
ISBN-13: 978-3-7643-7166-1
A Birkhäuser book

About this book
It is evident that a defective or deregulated complement system results in kidney diseases. An important role of complement effector and regulatory proteins in pathological settings of the kidney has been demonstrated. A large panel of distinct human kidney diseases is caused by defective complement control. Genetic analyses have identified mutations in complement regulators that are associated with these diseases. Mutations have been identified in the fluid phase alternative pathway regulator Factor H and the membrane regulator Membrane Cofactor Protein MCP (CD46). The functional characterization of the mutant proteins allows to define the pathophysiological events on a molecular level. These new concepts and data on disease mechanisms allowed establishing new diagnostic and promising therapeutic approaches for several human kidney diseases. Molecular biology, clinics and therapy are discussed in this volume.

Written for:
Scientific libraries, researchers and clinicians, pharmaceutical industry, postgraduate students

TB/HIV: a Clinical Manual, Second Edition

TB/HIV: a Clinical Manual, Second Edition

Paperback: 208 pages
Publisher: World Health Organization (November 2003)
Language: English
ISBN: 9241546344

Book Description
Developments since 1996, particularly in the TB/HIV field, have now prompted a second edition of this popular manual which provides a pocket-sized guide to the clinical management of TB, particularly in patients suffering from co-infection with HIV. Designed for use by busy clinicians, the manual aims to promote the best possible diagnosis and treatment in low-income countries where the prevalence of TB and HIV infection is high, case loads are heavy, and laboratory support may be limited. With these needs in mind, the manual combines the latest scientific knowledge about TB and HIV with authoritative advice based on extensive field experience in several of the hardest hit countries.

Throughout the manual, tables, flow charts, lists of do’s and don’ts, questions and answers, and numerous practical tips are used to facilitate quick reference and correct decisions. Information ranges from advice on how to distinguish TB from other HIV-related pulmonary diseases to the simple reminder that in sub-Saharan Africa, anyone with TB is in a high risk group for HIV. Though primarily addressed to clinicians working at district hospitals in sub-Saharan Africa, the manual is also suitable for use in areas of Asia and South America where the problem of TB and HIV co-infection poses a growing clinical challenge.

Exploring the Role of Antiviral Drugs in the Eradication of Polio

Exploring the Role of Antiviral Drugs in the Eradication of Polio: Workshop Report

Authors:
Committee on Development of a Polio Antiviral and Its Potential Role in Global Poliomyelitis Eradication, National Research Council

# Paperback: 72 pages
# Publisher: Joseph Henry Pr; 1st edition (May 31, 2006)
# Language: English
# ISBN: 0309101611

Exploring the Role of Antiviral Drugs in the Eradication of Polio: Workshop Report, is a report of a workshop in which experts evaluated whether an antiviral drug against poliovirus would be helpful in the final stages of the global polio eradication campaign. The World Health Organization currently plans to stop using oral polio vaccine three years after the detection of the last case of transmission of wild polio virus. This is because the vaccine contains live, weakened polio viruses that can spread and revert to virulence in populations that have not been immunized. Under this plan, an antiviral drug could be useful to control any polio outbreaks caused by a vaccine-derived virus that might occur after vaccination ends and the number of unimmunized people in the world steadily increases. The report recommends that planning and development of such drugs should be initiated now. It identifies several promising targets for drug development and outlines
the steps needed for planning for clinical trials and regulatory approval.
