Diagnosis and Treatment of Human Mycoses brings together globally-recognized mycoses experts to guide readers in the use of current knowledge in the field of medical mycology to manage those who suffer from fungal infections (mycoses). Often, diagnostic strategies and tests, including basic and directed culturing techniques, histopathology with standard and special stains, serological methods, and radiological studies all need to be considered and commonly combined to make the diagnosis of fungal infection. This volume first introduces and reviews these tools separately and then as they pertain to specific infections or groups of diseases. The volume consists of four parts. Parts I-III provide an overview of diagnostic and therapeutic tools, and part IV presents the human mycoses.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Human Mycoses is meant to be a concise text that will provide the busy infectious disease, hematologyoncology, pulmonology, or critical care specialist a practical tool to diagnose and manage fungal infections. In addition, the depth of the material in the text will provide these and other medical specialists and trainees an excellent reference and learning resource.

Seasonal Patterns of Stress, Immune Function, and Disease

Seasonal Patterns of Stress, Immune Function, and Disease
by Randy J. Nelson (Author), Gregory E. Demas (Author), Sabra L. Klein (Author), Lance J. Kriegsfeld (Author)

Product Details
Hardcover: 308 pages
Publisher: Cambridge University Press; 1 edition (March 25, 2002)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 052159068

Book Description
This volume presents evidence that infection is cyclical with the seasons, and that this phenomenon is mirrored in cycles of immune function. The authors identify the mechanisms by which immune systems are bolstered to counteract seasonally-recurrent stressors, such as extreme temperature reductions and food shortages. Stress, infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, and human cancers are examined, and the role of hormones such as melatonin and glucocorticoids are considered. This is the first monograph to examine seasonal immune function from an interdisciplinary perspective.
