Interstitial Pulmonary Diseases
This book discusses basic and clinical aspects of selected topics in interstitial lung disease and the pathogenic mechanisms of pulmonary fibrosis. Topics include the pathogenesis of interstitial fibrosis from the initial injury to the excessive accumulation of collagens in lung parenchyma; detailed analysis of the role of fibroblasts, mast cells and growth factors in the induction of fibrogenesis; collagens, collagenases, and proteoglycans; and hypersensitivity, pneumonitis and asbestosis. Other topics include morphological aspects, including molecular biology techniques, imaging methods, functional respiratory tests, and pulmonary arterial hypertension; and sleep disorders in patients with ILD. This book provides important information for physicians, surgeons, pulmonary researchers, molecular pathologists, biomedical researchers and students, and others interested in interstitial lung disease.
Cell Death in Reproductive Physiology
The regulation of cell death in various reproductive tissues, as in other ma jor organ systems of the body, has become a focal point of research activity in many laboratories over the past few years. As such, the need for a "for mal" meeting to highlight recent work in this field, as well as to integrate knowledge from other sources (such as investigators working on cell death in cancer and immune function) in the broad context of identifying con served pathways that coordinate life-and-death decisions in diverse cell types, became apparent. Therefore, the goals of the Scientific Committee of the International Symposium on Cell Death in Reproductive Physiology, spon sored by Serono Symposia ...

Case Studies on Corporations and Global Health Governance
There is growing evidence of the wide-ranging impacts of corporations in selected industries on global patterns of health and disease. However, limited analysis has been undertaken of the increasing corporate involvement in collective action needed to effectively address these impacts. This book brings together a wide ranging collection of case studies that provide new empirical research on how corporations impact on, influence of, and could be held more accountable to, global health governance. Written by leading and emerging scholars from a broad range of disciplinary perspectives, each case study seeks to expand the methods, conceptual approaches and sources of data used to address three ...
Narrative Ethics in Public Health: The Value of Stories
This Open Access book illustrates the power of stories to illuminate ethical concerns that arise in public health. It complements epidemiological or surveillance evidence, and reveals stakeholder perspectives crucial for public health practitioners to develop effective and ethical public health interventions. Because it relies on the natural and universal appeal of stories, the book also serves to introduce the field of public health to students considering a career in public health. The opening section of the book also serves as a more didactic introduction to public health ethics and the field of narrative ethics. It describes the field of public health ethics including ethical principles ...
