The Molecular Immunology of Complex Carbohydrates-3
Based on the third symposium on “Molecular Immunology of Complex Carbohydrates,” this text covers the latest in glycotopes, structures and functions of complex carbohydrates, recognition factors of lectins, biomolecular interactions and other glycosciences. This volume highlights the informative events of the Symposium on Molecular Immunology of Complex Carbohydrates III, held at the Institute of Biological Chemistry, Academia Sinica, on July 15-20, 2007, in Taipei, Taiwan.

Principles and Practice of Dialysis
This book is an evidence-based review of the practical challenges of dealing with patients receiving dialysis. The first section covers technical and procedural considerations such as choosing the hemodialysis membrane and choosing the best dialysis option. The second section covers clinical considerations such as infection and the treatment of specific renal disease complications. The book includes numerous illustrations and tables and drug charts for dialysis patients. This edition's current outcomes chapter has been expanded to include patient depression and improving quality of care. New chapters cover dialysis in the ICU, valvular heart disease, and pre-emptive renal transplantation.
Selectins
The selectins are the most recently discovered, and the smallest family of cell adhesion molecules. They not only mediate lymphocyte homing but their binding reaction also forms the first step in the entry of leukocytes to inflamed tissues. The inflammatory response is crucial in the host's defence against infectious micro-organisms, but can go drastically wrong, damaging host tissues in an acute reaction. Carbohydrate based selectin antagonists, as well as anti-selectin antibodies have been successfully used to combat this reaction in various animal models. Summarizing the present knowledge about the molecular mechanisms of selectin mediated cell adhesion, this volume forms an indispensable review of an important area of research. Its in-depth handling of the consequences of this research for various physiological and pathophysiological processes will also be vital to the clinician specialising in inflammatory disorders.
The Practical Handbook of Internet Computing
The Practical Handbook of Internet Computing analyzes a broad array of technologies and concerns related to the Internet, including corporate intranets. Fresh and insightful articles by recognized experts address the key challenges facing Internet users, designers, integrators, and policymakers. In addition to discussing major applications, it also
Plant Lipid Metabolism
A collection of papers that comprehensively describe the major areas of research on lipid metabolism of plants. State-of-the-art knowledge about research on fatty acid and glycerolipid biosynthesis, isoprenoid metabolism, membrane structure and organization, lipid oxidation and degradation, lipids as intracellular and extracellular messengers, lipids and environment, oil seeds and gene technology is reviewed. The different topics covered show that modern tools of plant cellular and molecular biology, as well as molecular genetics, have been recently used to characterize several key enzymes of plant lipid metabolism (in particular, desaturases, thioesterases, fatty acid synthetase) and to iso...
Replacement of Renal Function by Dialysis
Completely revised edition of a global resource first published in 1978 and previously revised in 1989. Sixty-three contributions are arranged in sections on the pathophysiology of the uremic syndrome--principles and biophysics of dialysis; technology of dialysis and associated methods; quantification and prescription; complications; pharmacological considerations; special clinical situations; organ system and metabolic complications; and organization and results of chronic dialysis. The aim is to give understanding of the complexities of modern dialysis apparatus so that practitioners can make the best use of the technology--and so that fledgling nephrologists can avoid the temptation to by-pass the theory and the nuances.
