The Complement FactsBook contains entries on all components of the Complement System, including C1q and Lectins, C3 Family, Serine Proteases, Serum Regulators of Complement Activation, Cell Surface Proteins, and Terminal Pathway Proteins. Domain Structure diagrams are incorporated to clearly illustrate the relationships between all the complement proteins, both within families and between families. The FactsBook also includes the cDNA sequences, marked with intron/exon boundaries, which will facilitate genetic studies. - Includes the cDNA sequences, marked with intron/exon boundaries, facilitating genetic studies - Presents detailed structural information including cDNA and gene structure fo...
Explore the premier text for immunology at the advanced undergraduate, graduate, and medical school levels. Beginning students appreciate the bookÕs clear writing and informative illustrations, while advanced students and working immunologists value its comprehensive scope and depth. This edition is thoroughly revised and up to date with significant developments in the field, especially on the topic of innate immunity.
The Government is failing to clearly and effectively communicate climate science to the public. There is little evidence of co-ordination amongst Government, government agencies and public bodies on communicating climate science, despite various policies at national and regional level to mitigate and adapt to climate change. The mandate to act on climate can only be maintained if the electorate are convinced that the Government is acting on the basis of strong scientific evidence. Ministers therefore need to do more to demonstrate that is the case and consistently reflect the Government approach in all their communications, especially with the media. The report also criticises the BBC for it...
The Science and Technology Committee today agrees with, and commends, the scientific vision for the new UK Centre for Medical Research and Innovation, but expresses reservations about the project's location. It says the case for the centre's central London location near St Pancras station was not overwhelming and it could have been sited elsewhere. The advantages of co-location with universities and hospitals and access to good transport links, which the Committee accepts play a fundamental role in the centre's vision, come at a price: extra construction costs; a site incapable of expansion; and the concentration of medical sciences in the 'golden triangle' in the south of England. On the is...
Here's an essential revision tool for the MRCP exam. The second book in this three-book series, written by renowned experts, offers fully detailed answers and helps to prepare students in data interpretation of laboratory or other results (such as ECGs) by implementing practical case histories.
The UK has benefitted from having strong scientific advice available to Ministers and developing nations would see a huge benefit from being able to draw on strong home-grown institutions to inform policy decisions. A previous report by the Science and Technology Committee had criticised the Government for not paying enough attention to building the science base of developing nations. While concerns remain, MPs considered that the Department for International Development had made improvements in using a more robust evidence base and developing its own in-house expertise. An important feature raised in this report is that there had to be more attention paid to ensuring that scientists, especi...
This book presents a case history of a patient with pemphigus vulgaris to illustrate in a clinical context essential points about the mechanisms of immunity and to explain some of the immunological problems often seen in the clinic. It is helpful for medical students and pre-medical students.
This case study is about an autoimmune disease triggered by infection. It describes how Gwendolen Fairfax, a healthy, unmarried 34-year-old bank manager, who developed the sudden onset of fever, cough and anemia, was started on erythromycin by intravenous administration for treatment.
This case study is about a 25-year-old male admitted into hospital for the 28th time. He was later diagnosed with a genetic deficiency in factor I that were instrumental in deciphering the mechanism of activation of the alternative pathway of complement activation important in innate immunity.
