Review Handbook on Immunosenescence: basic understanding and clinical applications / Springer:"Immunosenescence" is an imprecise term used to describe deleterious age-associated changes to immune parameters observed in all mammals studied so far. It represents a rapidly progressing science in the aging field, with a vertiginous volume of new data, knowledge and concepts concerning these changes. We are poised to be in a position to translate these accumulated data into the clinical setting via better understanding of the contribution of immunosenescence to age-associated pathologies, and their prevention by appropriate interventions. This authoritative handbook seeks to encompass the current state of our knowledge on the multitude of those changes to immunity related to aging, with contributions from experts in the research and clinical areas. This book therefore considers methods and models for studying immunosenescence; cellular immunosenescence of T cells, B cells, neutrophils, antigen presenting cells, NK, NKT and stem cells; genetics; mechanisms including receptors and signal transduction; mitochondria; proteasome; cytokines; neuro-endocrine-immune networks; inflammation; thymus; clinical relevance in disease states including infections, autoimmunity, cancer, metabolic syndrome, neurodegenerative diseases, frailty and osteoporosis; modulation by nutrition, lipids, vaccination and the question "can interventions to influence immunosenescence be realistically proposed based on our current state of knowledge?".

Review Parasite-Tutor™ / Lippincott Williams & Wilkins:Licenses Available: Institutional Single-Seat (for one computer) and Network (network server/multi-user)For product, price and ordering information, call: 1-800-326-1685 (Hospitals/Gvt Accounts/Labs/Health Care Facilities) 1-800-624-8947 (Universities/Colleges) Students, scientists and pathologists alike will treasure the wealth of information in this 90-minute, interactive computer program. It uses descriptive text, video clips, animation, illustrations and microscopic images to teach the morphologic identification of parasites in clinical specimens. The program's impressive collection of high resolution microscopic images were obtained through the use of a digital video microscope, not scanned from slides. That means they're superior to printed images found in textbooks. Users can change magnification view for selected sample images; change stains for comparative viewing of selected microscopic images; view motility of selected parasites; see video clips of diagnostic techniques; and compare any two images side-by-side. Coverage begins with a comprehensive overview, and includes: Blood Parasites - Diagnostic techniques for detection, intracellular parasites, extracellular parasites, common artifacts that can be confused with blood parasites; Stool Parasites - Diagnostic techniques, Protozoa, Helminths, common artifacts; Parasites from other sites, such as eyes, CSF, genitalia, skin, and urinary tract. An image index makes location easy; and a final exam made up of two separate tests provides detailed feedback. Windows / Macintosh / Network Compatible.

Review Sampling and Sample Preparation for Field and Laboratory (Comprehensive Analytical Chemistry) / Elsevier Science:This title is the first comprehensive book on sampling and modern sample preparation techniques and has several main objectives: to facilitate recognition of sample preparation as both an integral part of the analytical process; to present a fundamental basis and unified theoretical approach for the professional development of sample preparation; to emphasize new developments in sample preparation technology; and to highlight the future impact of sample preparation on new directions in analytical science, particularly automation, miniaturization and field implementation. Until recently, there has been relatively little scientific interest in sampling and sample preparation, however this situation is presently changing as sampling and sample preparation become integral parts of the analytical process with their own unique challenges and research opportunities. Sampling and Sample Preparation for Field and Laboratory is an essential resource for all analytical chemists, and in particular those involved in method development. Not only does it cover the fundamental aspects of extraction, it also covers applications in various matrices and includes sampling strategies and equipment and how these can be integrated into the analytical process for maximum efficiency.

Review Encyclopedia of Medical Decision Making / Sage Publications, Inc:Decision making is a critical element in the field of medicine that can lead to life-or-death outcomes, yet it is an element fraught with complex and conflicting variables, diagnostic and therapeutic uncertainties, patient preferences and values, and costs. The physician must determine what may be wrong with a patient and recommend a prevention or treatment strategy, generally under less than optimal circumstances and timeframes. A patient decides whether or not to follow this recommendation and, once under care, may or may not faithfully pursue recommended strategy. Health policymakers and insurers must decide what to promote, what to discourage, and what to pay for. Together, such decisions determine the quality of health care, quality that depends inherently on counterbalancing risks and benefits and competing objectives such as maximizing life expectancy versus optimizing quality of life, or quality of care versus economic realities. Broadly speaking, concepts in medical decision making may be divided into two major categories: prescriptive (complicated analyses and algorithms defining how a decision optimally “should be” made via decision analysis, cost-effectiveness measures, prediction methods, etc. ) and descriptive (how decisions actually “are” made, involving human judgment, biases, social influences, patient factors, etc. ). Our Encyclopedia of Medical Decision Making is meant to give readers a gentle introduction to both categories, revealing how medical and healthcare decisions are actually made-and constrained-and how physician, healthcare management, and patient decision making can be improved to optimize health outcomes. Approximately 375 signed entries across two volumes offer comprehensive and authoritative coverage by experts in the fields of medicine, decision science and cognitive psychology, and healthcare management. [+]So far as possible, entries are written in non-technical, accessible language. All bases are covered, with major topics including bioethics, health policy and economics, disaster simulation modeling, medical informatics, the psychology of decision making, shared and team medical decision making, social, moral and religious factors, end-of-life decision making, assessing patient preference and patient adherence, and more. To help guide readers to related entries, a “Reader’s Guide” in the front matter groups entries thematically and each entry includes cross-references. Entries conclude with Suggestions for Further Reading to guide readers to sources for more in-depth study on particular topics. The encyclopedia is available in both print and electronic formats to maximize accessibility for students.

Review Studies in Natural Product Chemistry : Bioactive Natural Products, Part H (Studies in Natural Products Chemistry) / Elsevier Science:Natural products play an integral and ongoing role in promoting numerous aspects of scientific advancement, and many aspects of basic research programs are intimately related to natural products. The significance, therefore, of the 28th volume in the Studies in Natural Product Chemistry series, edited by Professor Atta-ur-Rahman, cannot be overestimated. This volume, in accordance with previous volumes, presents us with cutting-edge contributions of great importance. The first paper presents over 100 compounds obtained from Broussonetia spp. , and discusses biological activities. This is followed by similar contributions dealing with the genus Licania and Ginkgo biloba. Additional papers describe in detail a number of interesting and important natural compounds or structural classes: retinoids, tetramic acid metabolites, isoprenylated flavonoids, plant polyphenols, crocin, marcfortine and paraherquamide, acaricides, podolactones, triterpene glycosides and sulfur-containing marine compounds. An additional paper focuses on the antitumor activities of lipids, and a final contribution deals with natural product amelioration of cancer chemotherapy-induced adverse reactions.
