Biomarkers, especially those based on pharmacogenomics testing, have proved to be extremely useful for type A adverse drug reactions. Clinical practice guidelines based on biomarker testing are presently being developed and updated for type A adverse drug reactions. In contrast, little attention has been paid to the potential use of biomarkers in type B adverse reactions, characterized by the occurrence of reactions not directly related to the pharmacological properties of the drug. Drug-induced hypersensitivity belongs to those type B reactions. Drug-induced hypersensitivity reactions involve complex mechanisms that include, among others, the metabolic activation and haptenization of drug m...
At the invitation of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), a round-table discussion was held on 9 and 10 March 2000, dealing with future possibilities for biomonitoring in occupational and environmental medicine. Biomonitoring has reached a high standard in Germany over the past 30 years, not least due to the fact that the results of the Senate commission on materials hazardous to health at the workplace have been directly implemented as part of the jurisdiction relating to occupational safety. This book combines the expertise gathered from various areas within toxicology, occupational medicine, immunology and human genetics, right up to analysis and epidemiology. Throughout, the focus ...

“No journalist knows more about toxic chemicals in the workplace than Jim Morris. The Cancer Factory is the crowning achievement of his estimable career spent walking fence lines, factory floors, and doctor’s offices.” —Dan Fagin, author of the Pulitzer Prize–winning Toms River “The Cancer Factory could not come at a better time, as we reckon with how our bodies pay the price for our nation’s toxic history and as today’s workers fight not for only their rights but for their very lives.… A powerful and essential read.” —Anna Clark, author of The Poisoned City The story of a group of Goodyear Tire and Rubber workers fatally exposed to toxic chemicals, the lawyer who sough...
3 cutting-edge books reveal the latest genetic breakthroughs – and their implications for you, your health, and your world These three cutting-edge books reveal how modern genetics has already transformed the world – and will transform it again and again in the coming years. Mobile DNA book thoroughly reviews our current scientific understanding of the significant role that mobile genetic elements play in the evolution and function of genomes and organisms–from plants and animals to humans. Renowned geneticist Haig Kazazian offers an accessible intellectual history of the field’s research strategies and concerns, explaining how advances have opened up new questions, and how new tools...
This volume represents a compendium of research conducted by international scholars who participated in the 2nd Symposium on Advances in Geospatial held during “The 5th International Conference on Medical Geology” in Arlington, Virginia, USA, in 2013. The research topics dealt with here mainly focus on the new scientific field of medical geology used to address a variety of human health issues and diseases specifically related to geological materials and earth-system processes. This volume will be of interest to those who wish to learn about current and historical health issues relating to geological materials or other environmental factors. It also represents a useful guide to learning the interdisciplinary approach to problem-solving in the field of medical geology.
This book is a printed edition of the Special Issue "Diagnostic, Prognostic and Predictive Biomarkers in Prostate Cancer" that was published in IJMS
In der aktuellen Debatte um Wissensmanagement in Unternehmen wird das handlungsorientierte Erfahrungswissen der Beschäftigten nach wie vor unterschätzt. Anhand empirischer Untersuchungen in Großunternehmen der Automobil- und der Chemischen Industrie zeigt Stephanie Porschen, welche Bedeutung gerade diesem nicht-explizierbaren und nicht-objektivierbaren Wissen zukommt. Sie zeigt darüber hinaus praktisch erprobte Wege auf, wie dieses Wissen durch kooperativen Erfahrungstransfer ausgetauscht und weitergegeben werden kann.
The Specialty Section “Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacogenomics” makes part of two different Journals: Frontiers in Pharmacology and Frontiers in Genetics. This Specialty Section focuses on the mechanisms by which genetic variations influence drug effects and adverse drug events, and cover basic research, clinical translation, applications in drug development and regulatory issues related to this field. Also, studies addressing the role of other factors such as epigenetics, phenotypic factors or drug-drug interactions on drug pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics are welcome. The editorial board is composed of 34 Associate Editors which, together with the Guest Associate Editors and the Reviewer Editors, constitute a team of nearly 340 leading experts in the field of Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacogenomics. This guarantees high quality in the reviewing process as well as short review times. A look back: 10 years of Frontiers in Pharmacogenetics & Pharmacogenomics (Continued in eBook)
Der Inhalt: Während sich früher die Arbeitsmedizin nur wenig mit den Wechselbeziehungen zwischen inner- und außerbetrieblichem Straßenverkehr und Krankheiten beschäftigt hat, wurde wegen der zunehmenden Bedeutung im Jahr 2010 das Thema "Transport und Verkehr" als eines der Hauptthemen der 50. Wissenschaftlichen Jahrestagung der DGAUM (Deutsche Gesellschaft Arbeitsmedizin und Umweltmedizin e.V.) ausgewählt. Der ecomed Verlag greift nun schon zum dritten Mal eines der Hauptthemen dieser Tagung auf und fasst wichtige Inhalte zur Thematik in dem vorliegenden Buch zusammen. Einleitend führen wichtige Institutionen, wie DGAUM, VDBW, DGUV, DVR, DGVM, DGVP und die Automobilindustrie, die sich...
