Molecular Pathology of Neoplastic Gastrointestinal Diseases

Molecular Pathology of Neoplastic Gastrointestinal Diseases-1

Antonia R. Sepulveda • John P. Lynch Editors 2013 Critical molecular mechanisms underlying gastrointestinal (GI) neoplasia have been substantially unraveled in recent years. This has resulted from technological advances such as the genome project data and large-scale “omic” methods, combined with the application of classic molecular and chemical testing approaches and established procedures for pathologic evaluation of tissue and […]

Respiratory Regulation – The Molecular Approach

Respiratory Regulation - The Molecular Approach-1

Mieczyslaw Pokorski Editor 2013 The book contains the chapters related to the molecular issues of respiratory regulation. The research presented herein was communicated and discussed at the International Conference ‘Advances in Pneumology’ which was held in Bonn, Germany, on June 17–18, 2011. The chapters are a selection of peer-reviewed manuscripts, mostly original research work, to demonstrate the topics […]

Radiation Protection in Nuclear Medicine

Radiation Protection in Nuclear Medicine-1

S€oren Mattsson • Christoph Hoeschen Editors 2013 Radiation protection is an important task for nuclear medicine departments with regard to the use of radiopharmaceuticals for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. It is important to make sure that the radiation dose to the patients as well as to staff members is kept “as low as reasonable achievable” (ALARA). In the last […]

Pharmacotherapy of Pulmonary Hypertension

Pharmacotherapy of Pulmonary Hypertension-1

Marc Humbert • Oleg V. Evgenov • Johannes-Peter Stasch Editors 2013 Over the past decade, we have witnessed major advancements in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms and pathophysiology of pulmonary hypertension (PH) that occurred in parallel with the discovery and development of new therapies. Pharmacological agents that modulate the main pathophysiological pathways of pulmonary arterial hypertension, including endothelin-1, […]

Molecular Imaging Fundamentals and Applications

Molecular Imaging-1

Jie Tian 2013 As an effective information acquisition and processing methodology for biomedical study, molecular imaging has become a rapidly developing and very promising research area, in which conventional medical imaging technology and modern molecular biology are being combined to non-invasively delineate in vivo physiological and pathological processes directly, sensitively and specifically at cellular and molecular levels.

Hemoglobin-Based Oxygen Carriers as Red Cell Substitutes and Oxygen Therapeutics

Hemoglobin-Based Oxygen Carriers as Red Cell Substitutes and Oxygen Therapeutics-1

Hae Won Kim • A. Gerson Greenburg Editors 2013 It has been a while since a comprehensive review of the status of Hemoglobin- Based Oxygen Carriers (HBOCs) has been assembled. Indeed, the field in many ways has become orphaned as clinical and technologic advances in blood banking and the management of anemia move forward. Spurred on in the […]

Host–Pathogen Interactions in Streptococcal Diseases

Host-Pathogen Interactions in Streptococcal Diseases-1

G. Singh Chhatwal Editor 2013 Streptococci are Gram-positive bacteria capable of causing a wide spectrum of diseases in humans and animals. Group A streptococci (Streptococcus pyogenes) are exclusively human pathogenic bacteria. Group C and group G streptococci, which were traditionally considered as animal pathogenic bacteria, are emerging as causative organisms of human diseases. The diseases caused by streptococci range from […]
