The Radon Group from the University of Cantabria in Spain organized, in old uranium mine, a new inter-laboratory performance exercise to measure radon indoors exposure and external gamma radiation, with changing parameters of temperature, pressure and humidity. In this book are shown the results of the inter-comparison as well as discussions of the achieved results in which were involved 41 laboratories from different European countries.
Trata esta obra de los resultados, y su posterior análisis, de las mediciones realizadas en el laboratorio de radiación natural de la mina de uranio de Saelices del Chico (Salamanca) en el 2015, organizadas por el Grupo Radón de la Universidad de Cantabria, en la que tomaron parte 25 instituciones tanto de universidades como entidades públicas, empresas privadas o particulares. Los ejercicios de intercomparación son una herramienta muy útil para detectar problemas en las medidas y poder ejecutar las acciones correctoras correspondientes. Del mismo modo, sirven como herramienta para poder calibrar instrumentos frente a patrones internacionales.
This book, written by world authorities in the field, is a comprehensive, up-to-date guide to the specialty of Oral Medicine, which is concerned with the diagnosis, prevention, and predominantly non-surgical management of medically related disorders and conditions affecting the oral and maxillofacial region. The pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment of all relevant diseases and disorders are described with the aid of a wealth of clinical cases and illustrations that enable the reader to appreciate the diversity and potential complexity of Oral Medicine. In addition to the wide-ranging coverage of oral conditions, separate sections are devoted to bone and cutaneous pathology and to orofacial pain and its management, in addition to dental sleep medicine. The clinician who treats Oral Medicine patients will find this book to be an excellent aid to optimal management grounded in a sound knowledge of basic science and the dental and medical aspects of each disorder. In addition, it will serve as an outstanding textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate students.
This book aims to provide readers with some of the current trends in mycology. Its chapters include discussions on the major invasive fungal diseases, host-pathogen interactions, relationships between fungal growth and the environment, the use of fungal species to control soil parasites, and the antifungal properties of thiosulfonates. The information herein covers topics in mycological research and will be of interest to students and researchers in all biological sciences.
Manual Terapéutico que aborda las patologías más frecuentes de la clínica habitual desde el enfoque de la Medicina de Urgencias. Realizado de manera conjunta por Médicos Internos Residentes (MIR) y Facultativos Especialistas del Complejo Asistencial Universitario de Salamanca (CAUSA), y coordinado por Urgenciólogos, trata de manera sencilla y eficaz situaciones comunes en las guardias médicas. Cada capítulo presta atención al diagnóstico (anamnesis, exploración física, pruebas complementarias) y tratamiento de diferentes enfermedades. El manual se estructura en diversos bloques (Anestesiología y Reanimación, Cardiología, Cirugía General, Dermatología, Endocrinología, Enferm...
Since the last edition of this book, major advances have been made in our understanding of key pathways that control tumor progression. This has led to the development of new anticancer agents that have the ability to block the activity of proteins involved in neoplastic cell development and proliferation. Targeted Therapies in Oncology, Second Edition provides a concise timely panorama of existing targeted therapies and progress into future anticancer treatments. These therapies notably include: Targeted agents of immune checkpoints Signal-transduction inhibitors Antiangiogenic agents Vascular-disrupting agents Apoptosis modulators Stem cell inhibitors Tumor profiling for drug development The book emphasizes the biology behind this new class of drugs as well as the clinical achievements obtained. The contributors to this volume stand at the cutting edge of cancer research and treatment around the world.
Candida, which was discovered more than a century ago as a causative organism of oral thrush, is now thought to potentially infect almost every tissue of the human body. Although we still do not have a safe anti-candida drug, the growing pace of progess of research on Candida albicans holds promise that a breakthrough is imminent. Though many monographs and articles on candida and candidoses have appeared in recent years, they mostly cover the clinical aspects. This particular text, however, explains the more basic features of candida including the molecular genetics, molecular biology and immunology of the cell wall, the molecular basis of morphogenesis and the structure and function of the plasma membrane. The role of anti-candida drugs and their mechanism of action are also discussed.
The underlying mechanisms of Candida and candidiasis and promising new directions in drug discovery and treatment. • Reviews all aspects of this common fungal pathogen and its impact on human health, from the basic biology of Candida albicans to the clinical management of candidiasis. • Reviews the latest basic and clinical research, focusing on findings in genome variability, host-pathogen interactions, antifungal resistance and drug discovery, and diagnostics to foster better understanding and treatment of candidiasis. • Examines recent discoveries that have shed light on morphogenesis and the cell cycle, including how new findings on host responses may have applications for the diagnosis of blood-borne candidiasis.
