Development of Anti-Asthma Drugs
Development of Anti-Asthma Drugs reviews existing asthma treatments and novel approaches currently under investigation, in the context of their mode of action and clinical effectiveness, in the hope that this might lead to a greater understanding of the factors involved in the expression of the disease and, therefore, in the design of better drugs. It is planned based on the concept of the causes and treatment of asthma, This book is organized in three main parts. Part I deals with the nature of asthma, its pathological mechanisms, natural history and epidemiology. Part II discusses mediators associated with asthma including platelet-activating factor, leukotrienes and histamine. Part II covers pharmaceutical approaches in the development of anti-asthma drugs and includes sections on inhibitors of mediator release and competitive and functional antagonists. This book will be of interest to persons dealing with studies on anti-asthma drugs and those interested in pharmacological development.
Clinical Reactions to Food
Abstract: A reference text for nutritionists, dietitians, clinicians, physicians, and other health professionals reviews various aspects of food-induced reactions in vivo in9 authoritative papers by experts in their respective fields. Topics include disease-related hazards associated with dietary factors in the western world; food allergy and intolerance reactions, diagnostic tests, and orthodox and unorthodox therapeutic approaches; normal and abnormal food attitudes, and characteristics of 3 principal eating disorders (anorexia nervosa, bulimia, and obesity); the immunology and physiology of digestion; childhood and adult food allergies and reactions; "false" food allergies due to non-specific reactions to foods; migraine headaches and their association with certain dietary factors; and the association of celiac disease and inflammatory bowel diseasewith food (wz) intolerances.
Immunological and Clinical Aspects of Allergy
In the scientific aspects of immunology, the pace of advance has been almost overwhelming, but with some notable exceptions, clinical benefits have been slow. For those who are interested in allergy, the situation has been somewhat different. Here, the scientific aspects have lagged sadly behind other branches of immunology. There has, however, been a recent explosion of knowledge, which began with the discovery of immunoglobulin E, and a curious situation has come to light. The speculations of the older allergists, which had often been derided as mere inventions, now appear to be largely true. A number of 'preposterous' hypotheses have acquired the respectability that comes with scientific ...
Managing Your Migraine
Managing Your Migraine speaks to your needs as a migraine sufferer. It confirms that you suffer from a genuine physical illness and that others share your frustration, disappointments, and anger. Its goal is to move you beyond "learning to live with it" to a full understanding of its mechanisms, symptoms, and treatments. This book proves that you can take charge of your illness-and shows you how to do so safely, effectively, and with real confidence.
Allergy
Mark Jackson investigates how allergy has become the archetypal “disease of civilization,” transforming from a fringe malady of the wealthy into one of the greatest medical disorders of the twentieth century.
Pride Versus Prejudice
John Cooper's pioneering full-length study is a treasure trove of new information, fresh in terms of the ground it covers and the material it assembles. Building on newspapers, archives, and interviews to illustrate the lives and professional experiences of the individuals involved, Cooper also brings out such broad underlying themes as emancipation, antisemitism, radical assimilation, and professionalization. This engaging work on Anglo-Jewry will be of value to the historian and general reader alike.
New Trends in Allergy III
The international symposium "New Trends in Allergy", held in Munich from July 13 to 15, 1990, brought together for the third time since 1980 some of the most experienced researchers working in the field of allergy. This volume comprises the papers presented at this meeting. All over the world, and not merely in the industrialized countries, allergy is becoming a cause of evermore serious diseases. In recent years, research in the field of allergy has provided numerous impor tant and fascinating results extending our knowledge considerably. Despite the new insights into basic mechanisms of allergic reactions, improved diagnostic methods, and new therapeutic approaches, how ever, many question...

Chemical Sensitivity, Volume I
Chemical Sensitivity is the first major scientific book series on chemical sensitivity, an increasingly important worldwide health problem. This four-volume series features results from the study of more than 20,000 environmentally sensitive patients at the Environmental Health Center (EHC) in Dallas. Results from the study at EHC are supplemented by information accumulated from the treatment and study of an estimated 100,000 patients by other environmentally oriented physicians and scientists around the world.
