Book Description
Despite rapid increases in knowledge, malaria continues to kill more than a million people each year and causes symptomatic disease in a further 300 million individuals. This volume brings some of the world's best investigators to describe recent advances in both the scientific and clinical aspects of malaria, and bridges between the two.

Immunotherapy for Infectious Diseases

Immunotherapy for Infectious Diseases (Infectious Disease)
by Jeffrey M. Jacobson (Editor)

Product Details
* Hardcover: 344 pages
* Publisher: Humana Press; 1 edition (June 15, 2002)
* Language: English
* ISBN-10: 0896036693

Book Description
In Immunotherapy for Infectious Disease, Jeffrey M. Jacobson, MD, and a panel of leading researchers review the state-of-the-art for treating various infections-particularly HIV-by manipulating the immune system's response rather than by chemical drugs. The contributors synthesize the principles of immune defense on the molecular level (monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, methods of antigen presentation, and cytokines and cytokine antagonists), as well as on the cellular and clinical levels levels as a protection against infection. The review of the current state of anti-HIV immunotherapy covers HIV-specific passive and active immunization strategies, gene therapy, and host cell-targeted approaches for treating HIV infection and restoring immune function.

Immune Mechanisms of Pain and Analgesia

Immune Mechanisms of Pain and Analgesia (Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology)
by Halina Machelska (Editor), Christoph Stein (Editor)

Product Details:
* Hardcover: 166 pages
* Publisher: Springer; 1 edition (January 31, 2003)
* Language: English
* ISBN-10: 0306476924

Book Description
Immune Mechanisms of Pain and Analgesia is the first volume to discuss a new concept of immune-neural interplays leading to pain or analgesia. It argues the classical view that pain and its control are restricted to the nervous system, offering a comprehensive overview of the emerging area of immune mechanisms in pain and its control. It challenges the traditional view that pain sensation or suppression is attributed exclusively to the nervous system and presents a critical analysis of this new concept. The book is written by an internationally recognized group of researchers and discusses complex and controversial issues such as cytokines and their pain-exacerbating but also analgesic effects, the production of opioids by immune cells, peripheral analgesic and anti-inflammatory actions of opioids, immunomodulatory effects of opiates, and immunosuppressive effects of pain.
