Immunology and Diseases of the Gut
Adrian C. Bateman , Tom MacDonald
editore: ReMedica
pagine: 200
Immunology is a very complicated topic that many people find intimidating. Nonetheless, many gastrointestinal diseases are immunological in origin or exhibit significant imunological components. This book unravels the subject of immunology into three clear areas: immunology itself, gut immunology and inflammation. Detailed and easy-to-understand explanations of these areas are given, with a focus towards those aspects of immunology that are important at the site of the gut. In addition, this book contains a highly illustrated A to Z listing of over 35 commonly encountered gastrointestinal disorders (including: chronic granulomatous, Crohn's disease, graft-versus-host-disease, pernicious anemia, refractory sprue, and ulcerative colitis). Detailed descriptions of each disorder cover areas including clinical features, epidemilology, diagnosis, immunopathogenesis, and treatment.

editore: ReMedica
pagine: 300
The most prevalent ENT disorders are those that affect hearing. Approximately 1 in 1,000 children is born with a severe hearing impairment, and in at least half of these cases the cause is inherited. In recent years, considerable progress has been made in the field of molecular genetic studies on hereditary sensorineural hearing impairment, and it has recently become possible to make genetic diagnoses based on molecular tests in an increasing number of otologic disorders. This book provides practitioners with a concise overview of advances in this important field of medicine and will facilitate improved management of patients with ENT disorders.
Genetics for Pediatricians
The Molecular Genetic Basis of Pediatric Disorders
Ian Young , Mohnish Suri
editore: ReMedica
pagine: 250
Genetic testing now plays an important role in the investigation of almost every child who is presented with one of the many commonly inherited disorders that make a major contribution to pediatric morbidity and mortality throughout the world. It can be difficult for even the most conscientious practitioner to keep abreast of developments and to appreciate both the significance and relevance of some of the major discoveries of recent years. The number of conditions that have been mapped or in which the causative gene has been isolated is vast. This book restricts coverage to the more common single-gene disorders that are likely to be encountered in general pediatric practice, with particular attention focused on those in which molecular analysis can play an important role in the diagnosis or management of a child and his or her family.
The Handbook of Diabetes Mellitus and Cardiovascular Disease
Deepak Bhatt
editore: ReMedica
pagine: 200
The World Health Organization has projected that the prevalence of diabetes will double over the next 22 years - from a current figure of 150 million to an estimated 300 million people by the year 2025. The health-care burden of diabetes is enormous, and effective strategies to combat the explosive rise in the global incidence and prevalence of diabetes are urgently needed. Furthermore, diabetic patients have a considerable risk for cardiovascular disease, with up to 80% of deaths in individuals with diabetes attributable to microvascular or macrovascular complications. This book provides a concise overview of the present state-of-the-art relating to the impact of diabetes mellitus on cardiovascular disease and to emerging treatment strategies that are beginning to impact on the management of the cardiovascular complications of this debilitating condition.

e altri
editore: ReMedica
pagine: 300
Although books on accident and emergency radiology exist, there are no learning resources for those new to reporting or reviewing emergency X-rays. This text has a quiz format covering 150 cases, enabling the reader to test themselves on common as well as rare and easy-to-miss fractures. Particularly difficult areas such as the cervical spine are covered in depth. In addition, some normal films are included to mimic the reality of emergency film reporting. Each X-ray is clearly shown with concise practical answers that can be applied to every day situations. The book is designed to be dipped into by radiology and orthopaedic trainees, radiographers reporting X-ray films, and casualty officers, medical students and nurses.
Genetics for Endocrinologists
The Molecular Genetic Basis of Endocrine Disorders
Benjamin Glaser , Harry J. Hirsch
editore: ReMedica
pagine: 414
This text was conceived as a tool to address the problems encountered by an endocrinologist when sureveying the wealth of information available from the past two decades of genetic research. The ability to pinpoint genetic defects responsible for a specific endocrine disorder opens the possibility of faster and simpler diagnosis, improved understanding of disease mechanisms, and development of new treatment modalities. However, the abundance of information attained may be so overwhelming that the practicing physician may be unable to apply this knowledge to the daily routine of clinical practice. This book provides a concise summary of the most current information available on over 100 endocrine diseases, organized as a rapid reference guide. The text also provides references for review articles and other citations from current medical journals. Furthermore, the reader can consult the OMIM website, using the MIM numbers listed for each specific disease. The diagrams of metabolic pathways provide summaries for medical students, endocrine fellows, as well as senior physicians.
The glossary of genetic terminology can serve asan introduction to the language of genetics, and also act as a mini-reference dictionary.
Genetics for Pulmonologists
The Molecular Genetics Basis of Pulmonary Disorders
Joel Moss , Jordan Prutkin
editore: ReMedica
pagine: 200
Our understanding of the relationship between genetics and pulmonary disorders is still evolving. In 1989 cloning of the gene that, when mutated, causes cystic fibrosis marked a great advance in the study of genetic diseases. Yet, over a decade later, understanding of how this genetic defect leads to colonization by bacteria and inflammation in the lung remains elusive. This publication provides an overview of lung diseases for which the genetic defect has been defined. It aims to provide an easy-to-use manual with concise reviews of genetic diseases that a pulmonologist might encounter.
Genetics for Ophthalmologists
The Molecular Genetic Basis of Ophthalmic Disorders
Graeme Black
editore: ReMedica
pagine: 368
Over the past decade advances in molecular biology have transformed our understanding of the genetic basis of a broad range of ophthalmic conditions and of the disease processes that underlie them. This work gives a concise summary of the current clinical understanding of genetic ophthalmology and how it may be applied to diagnosis management and counselling of patients with inherited eye diseases. In addition the book gives detailed information of recent advances in genetic eye disease and how disease pathophysiology correlates with this molecular genetic information. It is aimed at general and specialist ophthalmologists, at trainees or all levels as well as at clinical and molecular geneticists interested in the genetics of eye disease.
Genetics for Rheumatologists
The Molecular Genetic Basis of Rheumatic Disorders
Julia Newton
,
Matthew Brown
e altri
editore: ReMedica
pagine: 220
This work aims to provide a quick reference source for doctors written to help answer questions on genetics and rheumatology. A large proportion of the diseases seen by rheumatologists have genetic influences. Some diseases are monogenic, but many are without Mendelian patterns of inheritance, nonetheless still having strong hereditary influences. The dissection of the genetic basis of rheumatic diseases has moved rapidly over the past 15 years, increasing our understanding of the causation of the disease, and in many cases improving diagnostic tests and the ability to advise patients about their risk of disease. Increasingly rheumatologists are asked about the likelihood of offspring developing their parents' diseases and about the utility of genetic testing for those diseases. This book aims to provide some answers.
Genetics for Orthopedic Surgeons
