Roitt's Essential Immunology - the textbook of choice for students and instructors of immunology worldwide Roitt s Essential Immunology clearly explains the key principles needed by medical and health sciences students, from the basis of immunity to clinical applications. A brand new introduction sets the scene to section 1, Fundamentals of Immunology, introducing the microbial world and the strategies the body employs to defend itself. Each chapter then guides the reader through a different part of the immune system, and explains the role of each cell or molecule individually, and then as a whole. Section 2, Applied Immunology, discusses what happens when things go wrong, and the role the immune system plays alongside the damaging effects of a disease, including cancer, immunodeficiency, allergies and transplantation and the beneficial effects of vaccines. The 13th edition continues to be a user-friendly and engaging introduction to the workings of the immune system, whilst supporting those who require a slightly more detailed understanding of the key developments in immunology. The content has been fully updated throughout and includes: * An expansion on key clinical topics, including: innate immunity, autoimmune conditions, asthma, primary immunodeficiency, and HIV/AIDS * Beautifully presented with improved artwork and new illustrations * A range of learning features, including introduction re-cap boxes, end of chapter and section summaries to aid revision, as well as further reading suggestions, and a glossary to explain the most important immunology terms. Roitt's Essential Immunology is also supported by a companion website at www.roitt.com including: * An additional online only chapter on immunological methods and applications * Further interactive multiple choice and single best answer questions for each chapter * Animations and videos showing key concepts * Fully downloadable figures and illustrations, further reading and useful links * Updated extracts from the Encyclopaedia of Life Sciences * Podcasts to reinforce the key principles explained in the text

"Mims Medical Microbiology" offers you thorough and up-to-date coverage of microbiology and basic immunology, through a clinically relevant, systems-based approach. It emphasises the microbiology of the agents causing disease, and the diseases affecting individual organ systems. Through thorough cross referencing, you can easily find what you need, whether seeking information from a systems or a microbe perspective. Nearly 500 illustrations help you to visualise the subject!

Extensively updated, with new contributors, brilliant new illustrations and a wealth of supporting material online, this 7th edition offers you a carefully structured approach to learning the building blocks of the immune system, as well as initiation and actions of the immune response. The website which accompanies this text gives access to all the images in the book, up to 20 detailed animation sequences (which link to further supporting text, illustrations, molecular models and video clips), 8 lectures which explain how the immune system responds to different infections or to tissue grafts, and a test bank of over 200+ multiple choice and 100 USMLE-style questions.

This title is presented now with access to full text online plus many other extras - posted on our associated website. Access is via unique pin number in front of book. Medical Microbiology has been improved and updated to keep it at the forefront of microbiological teaching practice. The clinically relevant, systems-based approach has been retained so as to emphasise the microbiology of the agents causing disease and the diseases affecting individual organ systems. Over 250 color diagrams explain difficult concepts while color clinical photographs appear alongside the microbiology, stressing the clinical relevance of the science. This book opens with an expanded basic introduction to viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. Then the immunology of the host is considered (again in more detail than in previous editions) before looking at the complex conflicts between host and invading agent. The clinical manifestations of these conflicts are explored within a systems-based context before concluding with a re-organised survey of microbiological diagnosis and control. Throughout, attractive design features are used to highlight core information and make study and review that bit easier: Chapter Introductions, Key Facts Boxes, Case-based Review Questions, New Microbiology Lessons and Summary Headings throughout make "Medical Microbiology" a pleasure to read.
