A History of Haematology
Blood has long been an object of intrigue for many of the world's philosophers and physicians, and references to it have existed since the earliest studies of human anatomy. Herodotus of Halicarnassus, whose writings 500 years before the birth of Christ drew on stories collected during his widespread travels, was amongst the first to identify the ritualistic and medical significance of blood. However, despite this long established history, haematology as a medical specialty is relatively new. A History of Haematology: From Herodotus to HIV traces the history of haematology from biblical times to the present, discussing the major defining discoveries in the specialty, ranging from war as a ca...
An Introduction to Molecular Biotechnology
On 800 pages this textbook provides students and professionals in life sciences, pharmacy and biochemistry with a very detailed introduction to molecular and cell biology, including standard techniques, key topics, and biotechnology in industry.
Biotechnology and Biopharmaceuticals
Biotechnology and Biopharmaceuticals: Transforming Proteins and Genes into Drugs defines biotechnology from the perspective of pharmaceuticals. The first section focuses on the process of transforming a biologic macromolecule into a therapeutic agent, while the second section provides a brief overview of each class of macromolecule with respect to physiological role and clinical application. Additional detail is also provided in the second section for each FDA approved, recombinantly derived biopharmaceutical for each category of macromolecule. The final section looks to the future and the new advances that will enhance our ability to develop new macromolecules into effective biopharmaceuticals. This last section discusses various drug delivery strategies while also describing gene and cell therapy strategies.
Autologous and Cancer Stem Cell Gene Therapy
Stem cells provide for life-long cell replacement in tissues and organs, and have inherent homing abilities that are critical in therapeutic applications. Stem cells are also the driving force of cancer where genetic/epigenetic alterations culminate in tumorigenesis either in tissue stem cells or in some of their derivatives. As a rare subset of the tumor, cancer stem cells are the only drive of tumor initiation/propagation. Autologous and cancer stem cells are thus the key targets of 1) long-term and transient-regenerative/epigenetic gene therapy and 2) of recurrence-free anticancer therapy, respectively. While cancer stem cell gene therapy still needs time to accomplish, autologous stem ce...
Immunosurveillance, Immunodeficiencies and Lymphoproliferations
This book covers lymphoproliferative disorders in patients with congenital or acquired immunodeficiencies. Acquired immunodeficiencies are caused by infections with the human immunodeficiency virus or arise following immunosuppressive therapy administered after organ transplantation or to treat connective tissue diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. It was recently discovered that various diseases or therapeutic modalities that induce a state of immunosuppression may cause virally driven lymphoproliferations. This book summarizes for the first time this group of immunodeficiency-associated lymphoproliferations.
Structure, Function, and Regulation of Molecules Involved in Leukocyte Adhesion
Leukocyte adhesion molecules have been the subject of intense basic and preclinical research. Results from clinical trials obtained sofar with antibodies directed towards these surface proteins offer promise for the prevention of graft rejection and effective treatment of acute and chronic inflammatory disease. This volume presents a comprehensive review of contemporary research on the structure, function and regulation of leukocyte adhesion molecules and their ligands, from the molecular to the clinical level. The blend of basic science and clinical applications presented in Structure, Function and Regulation of Molecules Involved in Leukocyte Adhesion provides clear evidence of the biological importance of cell-cell interactions and the many potential clinical dividends afforded by understanding the molecular basis of cell adhesion. It will appeal to a broad range of readers in immunology and cell biology.
Transfusion Medicine
The history of blood transfusion is a fabulous human adventure in the course of which intentional and fortuitous conjunction of medical and scientific know-how has resulted in the birth of a new medical discipline. Following a detailed description of the discoveries in the field of transfusion, this book deals with all the questions that will determine its future including safety, emerging biotechnologies, cell and tissue engineering. It concludes by considering the evolution of transfusion in its sociological, ethical and cultural context ending with a vision for the future.
Healthcare Engineering
The book contains the proceedings of CAETS 2015 Convocation on ‘Pathways to Sustainability: Energy, Mobility and Healthcare Engineering’ that was held on October 13-14, 2015 in New Delhi. This 3 volume proceedings provide an international forum for discussion and communication of engineering and technological issues of common concern. This volume talks about ‘Healthcare’ and includes 11 chapters on diverse topics like regenerative engineering, big data analytics in healthcare, molecular science, rising expenditure on health issues, adoption of personalized medicine, etc. The contents of this volume will be useful to researchers and healthcare professionals.
French Names for Boys
While the quest for the perfect name is deeply personal, it is not without its challenges. We understand the weight of this decision and have crafted this book with a few guiding principles in mind. Firstly, we encourage you to embrace the significance of cultural and familial connections. Many names carry stories of ancestry, traditions, and legacies that can enrich your child's sense of identity. Secondly, consider the resonance of the name with your values and aspirations. A name can shape perceptions and influence the way your child perceives. Whether you aspire for a name that exudes strength, kindness, or creativity, let the essence of the name align with your hopes and dreams for your little one. Lastly, while trends come and go, the timeless nature of a name is an essential consideration. Striking a balance between uniqueness and enduring appeal ensures that your child's name stands the test of time, reflecting both contemporary sensibilities and the enduring beauty of tradition.
