Psychosocial Implications of Poverty
This book presents a multidimensional, psychosocial and critical understanding of poverty by bringing together studies carried out with groups in different contexts and situations of deprivation in Brazil, Mexico, Paraguay, Nicaragua and Spain. The book is divided in two parts. The first part presents studies that unveil the psychosocial implications of poverty by revealing the processes of domination based on the stigmatization and criminalization of poor people, which contribute to maintain realities of social inequality. The second part presents studies focused on strategies to fight poverty and forms of resistance developed by individuals who are in situations of marginalization. The stu...
Candida and Candidiasis
The underlying mechanisms of Candida and candidiasis and promising new directions in drug discovery and treatment. • Reviews all aspects of this common fungal pathogen and its impact on human health, from the basic biology of Candida albicans to the clinical management of candidiasis. • Reviews the latest basic and clinical research, focusing on findings in genome variability, host-pathogen interactions, antifungal resistance and drug discovery, and diagnostics to foster better understanding and treatment of candidiasis. • Examines recent discoveries that have shed light on morphogenesis and the cell cycle, including how new findings on host responses may have applications for the diagnosis of blood-borne candidiasis.
Candida Albicans
This book highlights modern techniques of research into Candida albicans, especially in terms of emerging and emerged pathogenic Candida species. It also looks at metabolic adaptation, resistance related to environmental stress and variety of nutrients, best performing plants that inhibit Candida's activities, interaction with other microbes, antifungal immunity mechanisms, and the posttherapeutic management of fungal infections. The book is a collection of very high impact research that includes a combination of biochemical, molecular biological, and medical microbiological innovative scientific techniques. It contains fascinating information that will help readers to explore and understand why C. albicans is different from other microbes. The authors describe this significant discovery using both bioinformatic and laboratory techniques and this uniqueness is the reason why C. albicans is a successful pathogenic yeast.
Advances in Candida albicans
Candida albicans, a fungal pathobiont, is the major component of the microbiota communities in healthy adults. It resides in the host’s gastrointestinal tract and mouth and can become pathogenic via overgrowth under a variety of conditions. This book reviews recent knowledge and the latest research on C. albicans, including the mechanism of candidiasis infection, host response, antifungal strategies, biofilms, genetics, and molecular epidemiology of immune responses.
Saraus nas Periferias: Insurgência (Po)Ética nas Tramas Afetivas do Território
Quem são as pessoas que produzem literatura brasileira hoje? Que vozes poéticas ecoam de ruas, becos e vielas? De quais caminhos emerge a cena cultural dos saraus nas periferias? Quem são as pessoas que estão colocando as poesias nas calçadas? Com base em uma imersão na cena dos saraus nas periferias, a autora apresenta nesta obra a potência da produção artística e cultural dos/nos territórios periféricos, destacando a inventividade de tais criações. Desde uma perspectiva de dentro, de quem vive e partilha os afetos provocados pelos encontros nos/com saraus, partilha com leitores/as uma narrativa construída por meio do exercício da poética do conhecimento, na qual as produções discursivas das pessoas dos saraus, as poesias, as músicas, as fotografias, os mapas e os referenciais teóricos são articulados horizontalmente, sem estabelecer hierarquias entre as distintas formas de produção de saberes. Esta obra destina-se a quem tenha interesse na cena literária contemporânea, na articulação entre experiência estética e transformação social, entre psicologia e artes, na insurgência (po)ética e afetiva dos povos de territórios periféricos.
Candida albicans: Cellular and Molecular Biology
This book on Candida albicans and similar pathogens provides a timely overview of the groundbreaking discoveries made in the areas of drug resistance, host–pathogen interactions, virulence, host immune system modulation, etc., in the last two decades. This comprehensive 2nd Edition includes chapters on fungal infections, hyphal morphogenesis, molecular mechanisms of antifungal resistance, antifungal agents, multidrug transporters, virulence mechanisms in Candida albicans, host–pathogen interactions, the cell wall, fungal biofilms, lipids and antifungal resistance, signaling mechanisms and last but not the least host-immune responses. As such, it offers an ideal reference guide for mycologists, researchers, pharmacists, clinicians, and undergraduate students engaged or interested in fungal research. It will also benefit clinicians, who are required to keep abreast of the current state of research on antifungal drug resistance and antifungal development.
Oxford Textbook of Medical Mycology
The Oxford Textbook of Medical Mycology is a comprehensive reference text which brings together the science and medicine of human fungal disease. Written by a leading group of international authors to bring a global expertise, it is divided into sections that deal with the principles of mycology, the organisms, a systems based approach to management, fungal disease in specific patient groups, diagnosis, and treatment. The detailed clinical chapters take account of recent international guidelines on the management of fungal disease. With chapters covering recent developments in taxonomy, fungal genetics and other 'omics', epidemiology, pathogenesis, and immunology, this textbook is well suite...
