Thrombosis
Papers delivered at the Center for Thrombosis and Vascular Research in Leuven in honor of Jos Vermylen.
Cardiovascular Medicine
This book offers the most up-to-date, user-friendly guidance on the evaluation, diagnosis and medical and surgical treatment of heart and vascular disease. The book and DVD package is designed to provide comprehensive coverage of every aspect of cardiovascular medicine. The book has consistent chapter organization relevant to modern cardiovascular practice, clear design and engaging text. The reader will have all the guidance to diagnose and manage the full range of cardiovascular conditions in one textbook resource, while also benefiting from access to additional video material from the integral DVD-ROM. This includes over 100 individual heart sounds.
Antiphospholipid Syndrome
The International Congress on Antiphospholipid Antibodies is held every three years to discuss the recent advances and future directions in Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS). This volume collects the scientific highlights and new findings about APS that were generated from the most recent 13th Congress, held in Galveston, Texas in 2010. Chapters were written by an internationally-distinguished group of scientists from the point-of-view of multiple specialty areas. Each chapter was written in a uniform and systematic basis to present the latest evidence-based research, including the basic science of APS, task force reports from the Congress on controversial aspects of APS, and future directions of APS research. This book will appeal to all clinicians involved in the treatment and management of APS patients, to residents in a variety of medical subspecialties, and to research scientists interested in a better understanding of this complex and evolving disease.
Hughes Syndrome
In 1983 Graham Hughes described a syndrome in which the blood has a tendency to clot. Hughes syndrome is at the root of diverse conditions such as stroke, leg vein thrombosis and recurrent abortion. Hughes Syndrome addresses the complete range of features produced by this common disorder, which is also known as antiphospholipid syndrome. The condition can affect any organ, and is treated using commonly available drugs including low-dose aspirin and warfarin. This timely book fulfils the need for a cross-disciplinary clinical textbook and contains contributions from the leading international authorities. Hughes Syndrome should be read by anyone who might have a clinical or scientific interest in this condition: rheumatologists, haematologists, obstetricians and neurologists.
Vaccine Design
This volume provides a practical guide providing step-by-step protocol to design and develop vaccines for human diseases. Divided into three volumes, Volume 1: Vaccines for Human Diseases guides readers through an introductory section on future challenges for vaccinologists and the immunological mechanism of vaccines. Chapters focus on design of human vaccines for viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic diseases as well as tumor vaccines. Written in the format of the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, each chapter includes an introduction to the topic, lists necessary materials and reagents, includes tips on troubleshooting and known pitfalls, and step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols. Authoritative and practical, Vaccine Design: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition, Volume 1: Vaccines for Human Diseases aims to be a useful practical guide to researchers to help further their study in this field.
Désiré Collen - Biotech Pioneer
Désiré Collen, Biotech Pioneer relates the fascinating story of scientific discovery in a time when biotechnology was not yet a science. Although the cultivation and cross fertilization of plants were, strictly speaking, biotechnological techniques, modern biotechnology dates from the early 1970s, when pioneers such as biochemist Herbert Boyer from the university of California managed to transfer genetic material into a bacterium. Together with venture capitalist Robert Swanson, Boyer set up Genentech, one of the first genetic engineering companies. Just a few years later, on the other side of the Atlantic, in Leuven, Désiré Collen discovered t-PA, the enzyme responsible for fibrinolysis...
Van mensen en muizen
50 jaar onderwijs en onderzoek aan de Faculteit Geneeskunde In 1963 werd de medische faculteit van de toen nog unitaire Leuvense universiteit gesplitst. Franstaligen en Nederlandstaligen volgden vanaf dan hun eigen koers. Aanvankelijk deelden zij nog de medische campus, maar nadat in 1968 de hele universiteit werd gesplitst, verhuisden de Franstaligen naar Brussel. Intussen was de Nederlandstalige Faculteit Geneeskunde al aan een langdurig expansieproces begonnen. Van mensen en muizen belicht de ontwikkelingen die zich de voorbije halve eeuw onder tien decanen – van internist Jozuë Vandenbroucke tot neurochirurg Jan Goffin – aan die Nederlandstalige Faculteit Geneeskunde hebben afgespeeld. De auteur haalt professoren en studenten voor het voetlicht en schetst de grote veranderingen in de onderwijsopleidingen en de onderzoekslaboratoria. Ook de ethische controverses en gezondheidsdebatten gaat zij niet uit de weg.
