Iodine Deficiency in Europe
The disorders induced by iodine deficiency affect at least one billion people. Because ofits effects on brain development, iodinedeficiency is the single most preventable cause of mental retardation in the world. Therefore, the United Nations and the Heads of State of almost all the world's countries represented at the Summit for Children in 1990 adopted resolutions to eradicate the disorders induced by iodine deficiency (IDD) by the year 2000. For geological and socio-economic reasons, most of the populations affected by iodine deficiency disorders live in isolated and usually mountainous areas, in pre industrialized parts ofthe world. The problem of iodine deficiency in Europe has been gre...
Stress Challenges and Immunity in Space
Stress of either psychological or physical nature can activate and/or paralyse humans’ innate and adaptive immunity. However, adequate immunity is crucial to the maintenance of health on earth and in space. During space flight, human physiology and health are challenged by complex environmental stressors which might be at their most pronounced during lunar or interplanetary missions. While previous publications have addressed the physiological changes that occur during space flight, this book goes further, by adopting an interdisciplinary approach to analyze the complex interaction of living conditions in space, the immune system, and astronauts’ health. It is explained how such analysis of the consequences of stress for the immune system may help in preventing, diagnosing, and counteracting immune-related alterations in health on earth as well as in space

Protides of the Biological Fluids
Protides of the Biological Fluids: Twentieth Volume is a collection of studies about three selected topics from the general field of protein chemistry. The book is divided into four sections. Section A covers monoclonal immunoglobulins and its properties and structure; the amyloid substance; and antibody function. Section B covers active polypeptides derived from plasma proteins; the kinin system; the angiotensin and renin system; anaphylatoxins; and protease inhibitors. Section C covers microcalorimetry in biological systems; biological system and its relation with thermodynamics; and the application of microcalorimetry to biological systems. The book also includes a Section D, which does not consider any of the selected topics, but instead focuses on other techniques such as the double line method; radioimmunoassay of alpha-fetoprotein; and the IgM latex test. The text is recommended for students and reseearchers in the fields of biology, biochemistry, and other related fields, especially those who wish to learn more about monoclonal immunoglobulins, fibrinopeptides, and the effect of microcalorimetry in biological systems.
The Laboratory Rat
The Laboratory Rat, Volume I: Biology and Diseases focuses on the use of rats in specific areas of research, ranging from dental research to toxicology. The first part of this book retraces the biomedical history of early events and personalities involved in the establishment of rats as a leading laboratory animal. The taxonomy, genetics and inbred strains of rats are also elaborated. The next chapters illustrate the hematology, clinical biochemistry, and anatomical and physiological features of the laboratory rat. This text concludes with a description of infectious diseases that may be contracted from laboratory and/or wild rats. This volume is a good source for commercial and institutional organizations involved in producing rats for research use, specialists in laboratory animal, animal care and research technicians, as well as students in graduate and professional curricula.
