SYSTEMIC VASCULITIS: Diagnostic clues to this confusing array of diseases

Product Description
Systemic vasculitis can be trying to recognize because of the many types of the disease and the conditions that can mimic it. But, early identification and initiation of treatment (often empirical) are vital to avoid severe morbidity. In this symposium article, Dr Bush clearly describes the most common types of vasculitis according to current nomenclature based on the size of affected vessels. Illustrations of common signs of the various types of vasculitis are also included.

Females Are Mosaics: X Inactivation and Sex Differences in Disease

Females Are Mosaics: X Inactivation and Sex Differences in Disease Books

Females Are Mosaics: X Inactivation and Sex Differences in Disease

Product Description
Women can be described as genetic mosaics because they have two distinctly different types of cells throughout their bodies. Unlike males, who have one X chromosome (inherited from their mother), females have two X chromosomes in every cell (one from each mother). The fathers copy works in some cells, even as the mothers copy works in others. These two X chromosomes often function differently, especially if one carries a defective gene.

Much has been written about the Y chromosome and its role in inducing maleness. This will be the first book about the X chromosome as a key to female development and the role of X-correlated factors in the etiology of sex differences in human disease. Barbara Migeon, from the celebrated McKusick-Nathan Institute at Johns Hopkins, is a major figure in clinical genetics and is eminently qualified to write this book, and she writes clearly and effectively. She describes both the underlying molecular mechanisms and the remarkable genetic consequences of X inactivation and its role in determining the biological concepts characteristic of women.

Females are Mosaics will be valuable to geneticists, biologists, and all health professionals interested in women’s health.

Molecular Biology of Cancer: Mechanisms, Targets, and Therapeutics

Molecular Biology of Cancer: Mechanisms, Targets, and Therapeutics Books

Molecular Biology of Cancer: Mechanisms, Targets, and Therapeutics

Product Description
Many of the cells in our body undergo tightly regulated replication to enable growth to occur and to make sure that hurt or worn out tissues are replaced. Regulation is mediated via many different mechanisms. It is when these mechanisms fail, and regulation is lost, that cancer can result. Recent advances in molecular cell biology have greatly expanded our understanding of the processes and mechanisms which underpin the regulation of cell replication, and what is happening at the molecular level when these fail.

Now in its second edition, The Molecular Biology of Cancer: Mechanisms, Targets, and Therapeutics gives a fresh approach to the study of the molecular basis of cancer. Written with the undergraduate student in mind, Lauren Pecorino focuses on how our understanding of the defective mechanisms which drive cancer is leading to the development of new targeted therapeutic agents.

Opening with an overview of the key hallmarks of cancer as a disease state, the book then leads us through the principal components of the regulatory machinery through which cell division is controlled and corrupted with the onset of cancer. Within each chapter, students are shown how this molecular knowledge is being applied to develop new targeted therapeutic strategies.

Ideal for courses in the molecular biology of cancer and cancer biology, The Molecular Biology of Cancer, Second Edition, is an invaluable resource for any student wishing to gain insight into the molecular basis of the disease and formulate possible solutions for its effective control.

New to this Edition


· Updated research


· Three groundbreaking new chapters:
- “The Cell Cycle”: Gives extended treatment of this central aspect of cancer biology
- “Infections and Inflammation”: Focuses on the relationship between infectious agents and inflammation and the onset of cancer
- “The Cancer Industry”: Provides an overview of the administer through which drugs are developed and tested


· Enhanced coverage of apoptosis


· Over 25 new figures plus a new color plate section


· A new “How do we know that?” feature, in which experimental methods and consequences are discussed, thus shedding light on how our understanding of cancer biology is developed


· An extended glossary


· A companion website featuring additional resources for both instructors and students:
- For instructors, the site offers figures from the book available to download and a testbank of multiple-choice questions with feedback linked to the book for use in formative or summative assessment
- For students, the website features a web link library as well as hyperlinks to primary literature articles cited in the text

Product Description

Increasing numbers of people with type 1 diabetes, all of whose lives depend on insulin, as well as type 2 diabetics, have already adopted the insulin pump, which replaces a regimen of insulin shots with a continuous delivery of insulin. Yet many who stand to benefit from “the pump” are place off by not fully understanding the device, and many already using it don’t have anyone with whom to compare notes about its use. Now Gabrielle Kaplan-Mayer, who has used the pump for more than three years, cuts through common private fears about the pump and offers insight into the day-to-day challenges—and rewards—of life with it. Drawing on interviews with more than seventy-five pump users, including Nicole Johnson, Miss America 1999, as well as diabetes experts and other health professionals, Kaplan-Mayer discusses how the pump affects your sex life, dealing with money issues, finding support, counting carbohydrates, and much more. Insulin Pump Therapy Demystified offers knowledgeable, informative, reassuring advice that all pump users—current and future—will find extremely valuable. Charts and tables add to this valuable insider’s guide.
