Book Description:
Autoimmune diseases are diverse and responsible for considerable morbidity. Their etiology remains largely unknown, and current therapy with anti-inflammatory drugs is prone to adverse effects, and rarely curative. New therapies with anti-cytokine antibodies or receptors are promising, but require frequent administration of expensive protein drugs. Gene Therapy of Autoimmune Diseases comprehensively reviews research in gene therapy for autoimmune diseases with viral or non-viral vectors. Gene therapy offers the possibility of long-term, continuous delivery of a wide variety of immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory, or tolerance-inducing agents. Moreover, highly specific genetically modified cells can be produced. This book discusses the most promising avenues in this exciting new field.

Techniques for Immune Function Analysis

Techniques for Immune Function Analysis - Application Handbook (1st Edition)

The study of the immune system attracts large numbers of researchers from
diverse scientific disciplines because of its central importance in providing
immunological host defense and its intercommunication with other systems that
maintain bodily homeostasis. The immune system is often studied in its intact
form but it can also be readily disassembled into its cellular and molecular
components (eg, lymphoid cell populations and effector molecules), recombined
and modified in various ways, and analyzed in an in vitro or an in vivo setting.
Due to the creative development and application of a wide variety of
experimental protocols, often using new technological platforms and reagents,
vast amounts of new information concerning immune function become available
on a daily basis. Researchers busily scrutinize this information hoping to better
define and understand the networks of cellular and molecular mechanisms that
underlie immunity and inflammation in health and disease.

E. coli in Motion

E. coli in Motion (Biological and Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering)
by Howard C. Berg (Author)

Product details:
* Hardcover: 145 pages
* Publisher: Springer-Verlag New York Inc. (Oct 2003)
* Language English
* ISBN-10: 0387008888
* ISBN-13: 978-0387008882

Book Description:
The bacterium Escherichia coli – E. coli for short – has long been the organism of choice for unraveling biochemical pathways, deciphering the genetic code, learning how DNA is replicated and read, and even for manufacturing proteins of commercial interest. For some thirty years, it also has been a model for studying the molecular biology of behavior. E. coli swims in a purposeful manner, propelled by long thin helical filaments, each driven at its base by a reversible rotary engine. As a microscopic organism immersed in an aqueous environment, it has mastered physical constraints utterly different from any that we know, devising sensors, comparators, and motors on the nanometer scale.

This cross-disciplinary monograph describes these feats in a manner accessible to scientists, engineers, and others not trained in microbiology who would like to learn more about living machines. It treats the history of the subject, the physiology, physics, biochemistry and genetics, largely from first principles. It is all about a small but remarkably sophisticated friend who lives in your gut.

Topics discussed include:
How does E. coli move about?
How do cells decide whether life is getting better or worse?
What is the machinery that makes this behavior possible?
How is the construction of this machinery programmed?
How does this machinery work?
What remains to be discovered?

* Language: English
* ISBN-10: 0851992331
* ISBN-13: 978-0851992334

Book Description:
Since the initial report of the amplification of specific DNA fragments using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 1985, this technique has revolutionized molecular biology. It enables the production of large quantities of DNA from minute amounts of sample material, which can then be readily analysed. This facility has had an enormous influence on the way both fundamental and diagnostic questions are approached and its use is now considered essential for molecular work in all branches of biology.

The purpose of this book is to highlight the wide-ranging applications of PCR in pure and applied mycology and to increase understanding of its potential benefits. After a brief overview, a group of internationally-renowned mycologists give definitive descriptions of the use of PCR in their own specialized fields. These include fungal gene expression and cloning, taxonomy and speciation, fungal mycobionts, mycorrhizal fungi, entomopathogenic fungi, mycotoxin-producing fungi, diagnosis of fungal infections in animals, seed-borne diseases, fungal/plant interactions and applications with industrially-important fungi. Finally, potential future directions for PCR work in mycology are discussed.

This book is essential reading for researchers and advanced students in all branches of pure and applied mycology and will also be of value to biochemists and biologists interested in molecular techniques.

Synopsis
While evolving molecular diagnostic methods are being heralded for the role they will play in improving our ability to cultivate and identify bacteria, fungi, and viruses, the reality is that those new methods are still beyond the technical and financial reach of most clinical laboratories. Most clinical microbiology laboratories still rely upon culture methods for the identification of microorganisms of medical importance. The newest edition of the "Handbook of Media for Clinical Microbiology" addresses the needs of clinical microbiology laboratories and infectious disease researchers. Authored by Ronald Atlas and James Snyder, who over the years have built solid reputations among researchers for their exceptionally reliable media handbooks, this volume gives microbiologists in clinical and medical laboratories the reference they need to quickly and effectively deal with the modern challenges shaping the field. Organized for a fast-paced environment, this fully updated Second Edition provides clinical diagnostic laboratories with an easy-to-use reference for those routine and specialized media employed in the cultivation of pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Almost 1,650 media are described in this edition, among them many newly developed media designed for the rapid detection and identification of disease-causing microorganisms, including those responsible for emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. It describes media designed to cultivate and identify Escherichia coli O157:H7, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and vancomycin-resistant enterococci. It also includes chromogenic or fluorogenic substrates that permit the rapid detection of specific pathogens critical to the diagnosis of individuals with specific infectious diseases. The Handbook provides a compilation of the formulations, methods of preparation, and applications for media used in the clinical microbiology laboratory. Listings are alphabetical, and each includes medium composition, instruction for preparation, commercial sources, and intended uses. This highly useful resource also discusses the role of the clinical laboratory in the diagnosis of infectious diseases and the process for detecting infectious diseases, including specimen receipt, media selection, antibiotic susceptibility testing, and biosafety considerations. It includes media for the cultivation of emerging and re-emerging pathogens and bioterrorism threat agents.

* Language: English
* ISBN-10: 0415241685
* ISBN-13: 978-0415241687

Book Description:
This text provides a concise review of the biology of the three important groups of micro-organisms that infect humans: bacteria, viruses and fungi. It examines the biology of micro-organisms that infect humans, and considers the key features that characterize micro-organisms that cause illness and those that do not. It concentrates attention on the underlying principles that determine why certain microbes are harmful and places this behaviour in terms of the biology of parasitism in general. Human Microbiology is not intended to cover all aspects of general microbiology and does not catalogue the entire canon of infectious agents, but it demystifies the increasing reportage of human infections.

* Language: English
* ISBN-10: 1588290077
* ISBN-13: 978-1588290076

Book Description:
Transposable elements (TEs), DNA sequences that can move from one chromosome location to another, are found in all living organisms. Here experts take you step-by-step through their most successful transposon-based protocols and strategies for studying genome structure, function and evolution. Such TE-derived techniques have been used for a variety of purposes, ranging from mutagenesis, gene slicing, transgenesis, and polymorphic marker systems. These readily-reproducible techniques cover a broad range, including mutagenesis, transgenesis, gene slicing, and molecular systematics. In particular, there are a series of DNA hybridisation methods for analysing the distribution and dynamics of mobile DNA at the host’s genomic level, techniques for studying LTR retrotransposons in heterologous host systems and mutagenesis protocols for investigating gene functions in a broad range of organisms.

* Language: English
* ISBN-10: 0470849762
* ISBN-13: 978-0470849767

Book Description:
Since the first edition of Principles and Practice of Clinical Bacteriology in 1997, there has been a revolution in the discipline of microbiology. The availability of whole genome sequences has transformed our understanding of bacterial genetics, while new technologies such as proteomics and transcriptomics have greatly enhanced our insight into pathogenicity.

The application of computers to this stream of knowledge has enabled microbiologists to see pathogens in a new way and develop new theories explaining the pathogenesis of infection and to identify new targets for anti-microbial chemotherapy.

In this new, Second Edition, internationally recognised editors and contributors comprehensively describe the various aspects of clinical bacteriology.

Each chapter has been updated to include the most recent information and expanded to include more thorough treatment of the relevant drugs, molecular diagnosis and infection control.

Anaphylaxis

Anaphylaxis (Novartis Foundation Symposia)

Product Details:»Book Publisher: John Wiley & Sons (12 March, 2004)
»ISBN: 0470861142
»Book author: Novartis Foundation

Book Description:
Anaphylaxis is an immediate-type allergic reaction involving the whole organism. It is the most life-threatening allergic condition. Although there are few exact epidemiological data regarding prevalence, estimates regarding insect sting anaphylaxis range from 1-3 0n the general population, but much higher values have been reported by some authors for food and drug-induced anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is the main acute killer of allergic individuals.
Although anaphylaxis was discovered at the beginning of the 20th century, there are still many unresolved issues. These include non-IgE-mediated anaphylactoid reactions, non-immunologically mediated anaphylactoid (pseudo-allergic) reactions, pathophysiological events at the microcirculatory level, appropriate therapy for the acute reaction, strategies for prevention, public education about the problem and new approaches to prevention and therapy at the IgE level. All these subjects are discussed in this book.
Since anaphylaxis occurs acutely and is unforeseen, it is very difficult to organize controlled studies regarding therapy and prevention. The spectrum of symptomatology covers many clinical areas (skin, respiratory, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal system), therefore inter-disciplinary approaches are necessary for progress in the field. There is widespread uncertainty among physicians about therapy, especially concerning self-administered treatment.
In this important book, an multidisciplinary group of experts explore the pathophysiology of different types of anaphylactic and anaphylactoid reactions. Evidence is presented on the epidemiology of these conditions while problems relating to diagnosis, therapy and prevention are examined in detail. This thorough and up-to-date coverage of the subject will be of great interest to all clinical immunologists, researchers and physicians who deal with this life-threatening condition.

Book Info:
“The presentation is consistently excellent. One, the writing is lucid and organized in a way that should be very natural for the clinical reader. Two, the text requires no background in mathematics and uses a minimum of symbols. And, three, the methodological concepts and clinical issues are well integrated through a number of carefully prepared and comprehensive examples.” Greg Samsa, Associate Director, Duke Center for Clinical Health Policy Research If a patient is older or younger than, sicker or healthier than, taller or shorter than or simply different from the subjects of a study, do the results pertain? Clinical Epidemiology & Evidence-based Medicine is a resource for all health-care workers involved in applying evidence to the care of their patients. Using clinical examples and citing liberally from the peer-reviewed literature, the book shows how statistical principles can improve medical decisions. Plus, as Katz shows how probability, risk and alternatives are fundamental considerations in all clinical decisions, he demonstrates the intuitive basis for using clinical epidemiolgy as a science underlying medical decisions. After reading this text, the practitioner should be better able to access, interpret, and apply evidence to patient care as well as better understand and control the process of medical decision making.
