This book describes the search for a safer blood for transfusion by implementing a pathogen reduction step during blood processing, as told by a participant in this quest. It also tells the story of a blood treatment with the potential of helping patients with chronic viral infections as well as auto immune diseases and cancer.
Advances in Radiation Biology, Volume 11, provides an overview of the state of knowledge in the field of radiation biology. The book contains eight chapters and begins with a study on ADP-ribose in DNA repair. This is followed by separate chapters on the inhibition of DNA repair; the photochemistry and photobiology of furocoumarins and their applications in biology and medicine; radiation risk from combined exposures to ionizing radiations and chemicals; and in vitro studies of drug-radiation interactions. Subsequent chapters deal with free-radical processes in radiation and chemical carcinogenesis; heavy-ion tissue radiobiology; and radon concentrations in the environment and their impact on health.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) was discovered over one hundred years ago after observing the death of microorganisms upon exposure to dyes and light. It is the combination of non-toxic dyes and harmless visible light that, in the presence of oxygen, produce highly toxic reactive species. The principal medical application during the last century was in cancer therapy but, in these days of rising antibiotic resistance, PDT shows increasing promise as an alternative approach to treating infections. PDT has also been used in blood product sterilization, peridontology, acne reduction, and the treatment of viral lesions such as those caused by human papilloma virus. It may also have potential as an en...
