The Paraoxonases: Their Role in Disease Development and Xenobiotic Metabolism
In September 2006 the 2nd International Conference on Paraoxonases took place in Hajdúszoboszló, Hungary, bringing together the world's foremost experts in the field. The current book is a distillation of the plenary lectures which took place at the meeting, resulting in a comprehensive up-to-date, state-of-the-art review of current paraoxonase research. The book details a unique and novel enzyme whose physiological/pathological function(s) are just starting to be revealed.
Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Non-communicable Diseases - Molecular Mechanisms and Perspectives in Therapeutics
Oxidative stress and inflammation underpin most diseases; their mechanisms are inextricably linked. For example, chronic inflammation is associated with oxidation, anti-inflammatory cascades are linked to decreased oxidation, increased oxidative stress triggers inflammation and redox balance inhibits the inflammatory cellular response. Whether or not oxidative stress and inflammation represent the causes or the consequences of cellular pathology, they contribute significantly to the pathogenesis of non-communicable diseases. The incidence of obesity and other related metabolic disturbances are rising, as are age-related diseases due to progressively aging populations. Interrelations between ...
Dermatology and Solid Organ Transplantation
This textbook brings together experts in the field of transplant dermatology to review both state of the art and practical knowledge regarding the clinical presentation and management of the various cutaneous diseases seen in patients with solid organ transplant. Practicing dermatologists, trainees, and other health care providers involved in the care of transplant patients can learn the current diagnostic and management options, and how to apply these guidelines and principles in their everyday practice.

New Developments in Antioxidants Research
In biological systems, the normal processes of oxidation (plus a minor contribution from ionising radiation) produce highly reactive free radicals. These can readily react with and damage other molecules. In some cases the body uses free radicals to destroy foreign or unwanted objects, such as in an infection. However, in the wrong place, the body's own cells may become damaged. Should the damage occur to DNA, the result could be cancer. Antioxidants decrease the damage done to cells by reducing oxidants before they can damage the cell. Virtually all studies of mammals have concluded that a restricted calorie diet extends the life-span of mammals by as much as 100%. This remarkable finding s...
Practical Manual for Dermatologic and Surgical Melanoma Management
This book provides a practically applicable resource for all clinicians managing patients with or who may develop melanoma. Each chapter focuses on clinically relevant information on the latest advances in the field, including techniques for early detection of skin cancers, cross-sectional imaging and staging of regional nodes. Algorithms for clinical decision-making along with clinical vignettes are incorporated into each chapter, enabling the reader to develop a deep understanding of how to manage a range of scenarios. Practical Manual for Dermatologic and Surgical Melanoma Management systematically details the latest diagnostic criteria, treatment guidelines and management techniques available for treating these patients and is a valuable resource for the trainee and practising clinician.
The Nobody Manifesto & You
Proper decision making is a requirement of a fruitful, fulfilled daily existence and societal advancement. Strategic economic decision making and its implementation separates successful peoples and nations from others-hence the current pyramidal distribution of wealth and other key economic and health indicators amongst the nations of the world. This book attempts to describe a subset of the population in different countries under varied circumstances and relate their decisions to their location on the economic decision ladder. Salient examples are given about this subset viz a viz their thought processes, interactions and ultimately the outcomes and the why and how these outcomes can be explained logically, although it might seem counterintuitive at times. This certainly is not meant to be an explain-it-all, rather a hopeful contribution to that discourse.
Autoimmunity, Part D
The incidence of autoimmune diseases is increasing worldwide, and the search for better management of these diseases and even for a cure is being pursued by scientists from many disciplines. Tools from the areas of genetics, neuroscience, cell biology, virology, and infectious disease are being applied to the problem and are yielding useful results. This is the fourth and final volume of a series on autoimmunity, and findings related to particular clinical manifestations are presented, particularly systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome, antiphospholipid antibodies, and infections and autoantibodies. Part A presents new principles in autoimmunity ...
