Progress in Clinical Parasitology
As editor, Dr. Sun is one of the most distinguished clinical parasitologists in the world. Since all contributors are from the respective endemic area of the disease that they describe, this volume provides firsthand information that is not always obtainable from a textbook. All chapters feature extremely comprehensive coverage in basic biology and biochemistry of the parasite; clinical symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease; and current advances in immunology, cytogenetics, and molecular biology in relation to the parasite and disease. The references cited are exhaustive and current.
Scientific Dating in Archaeology
A variety of techniques have been developed to provide scientific chronologies of archaeological sites and material culture. These chronologies under-pin the narratives that are generated for prehistoric and other periods. The application of Bayesian statistical analysis to scientific chronologies has been hailed as ‘a revolution in understanding’, and has brought renewed emphasis onto how we generate scientific chronological data, how these data are applied into wider narratives, and the epistemological importance of these data. This volume will provide a timely review of the methods, applications and challenges of applying different scientific dating techniques to archaeological sites and material culture. It will then provide an introduction to Bayesian modelling, and highlight a series of considerations in the application of scientific dating techniques.
Handbook of Ataxia Disorders
This timely reference presents, for the first time, new findings in molecular genetics that are applicable to the epidemiology, pathogenesis, neuropathology, clinical features, and management of ataxia-bridging the gap between scientific and clinical practice. Organized by the distinctive ataxia disorders, their pathogenesis, and management-facilitating quick and efficient diagnoses! Providing complementary sections on the anatomy of the spinocerebellar system, its normal function, and a history of ataxia research and management, the Handbook of Ataxia Disorders clarifies the impact of identifying the molecular causes of ataxia offers in-depth analysis of dominant and recessive and nonheredi...
Solitary Cysticercus Granuloma
Solitary Cysticercus Granuloma Is One Of The Most Common Parasitic Diseases Of The Brain. This Monograph Is The Outcome Of Research Undertaken At Cmc, Vellore. It Also Takes Into Account Recent Work In Other Parts Of The World. The Contributors Include Neurologists, Neurosurgeons, Neurochemists And Neuropathologists.
The Imaging of Tropical Diseases
A comprehensive, and profusely illustrated description of the common and uncommon images which will be found in a wide range of tropical diseases, correlated with the clinical and laboratory findings, and the epidemiology and pathology. Each chapter is an in-depth study with many images at all stages of the infections. Volume 1 includes amebiasis, schistosomiasis, hydatid disease, Chagas' disease, tuberculosis, the mycoses, taeniasis (tapeworms) and cystircercosis, and also AIDS as seen in the tropics. This is a unique book which will be of immense value, not only to all those in the practice of tropical medicine, but also to help recognition and understanding of the unusual illnesses which may be seen in travellers and immigrants.
Cysticercosis of the Human Nervous System
Neurocysticercosis (neural infection by larvae of Taenia solium) occurs when humans become intermediate hosts of the tapeworm Taenia solium after ingesting its eggs. The disease is now the most common helminthic infection of the nervous system in humans, and its prevalence has risen significantly even in countries where it was formerly considered exotic. The introduction of modern neuroimaging and serologic techniques has improved the diagnosis of neurocysticercosis; furthermore, the development of potent cysticidal drugs has changed the prognosis of most affected patients. Nevertheless, much remains to be learned about this parasitic disease. This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the various aspects of cysticercosis of the nervous system that will be of interest to all who are involved in the care of patients with this disease. Epidemiology, neuropathology, immunopathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management are all thoroughly discussed based on current evidence and practice.
INCREaSE
This book presents the proceedings of the INternational CongRess on Engineering and Sustainability in the XXI cEntury – INCREaSE 2017, which was held in Faro, Portugal, from October 11 to 13, 2017. The book promotes a multidisciplinary approach to sustainable development, exploring a number of transversal challenges. It discusses natural and anthropogenic risks; tourism and sustainability; healthy food; water and society; sustainable mobility; renewable energy; and energy efficiency, offering perspectives from civil, electronics, mechanical and food engineering.
Subterranean Estuaries
Over recent decades, it has become widely recognized that water exchange between coastal aquifers and the ocean is an important component of the hydrologic cycle. Twenty years have passed since Willard S. Moore (Moore, 1999) introduced the term ‘subterranean estuary’ (STE) to identify those zones within coastal aquifers where fresh groundwater mixes with surface saltwater. Like open-water estuaries, STEs regulate the transfer of chemicals to the sea under the seashore by submarine groundwater discharge (SGD). This subterranean reactive node in the land-ocean exchange pathway has a physical, even if elusive, structure created by a combination of temporally and spatially variable mass tran...
Volcanism, Impacts, and Mass Extinctions: Causes and Effects
