Exploring basic science and the clinical applications, Recurrent Pregnancy Loss: Causes, Controversies and Treatment provides an authoritative, comprehensive review of the management of recurrent pregnancy loss. Many subjects in this area are controversial, and occasionally clinical decisions are based on lack of knowledge rather than evidence. For this reason, chapters include debates by leading experts to aid the clinician in deciding on the appropriate clinical management. Chapters cover basic science, genetics, and the application of evidence based medicine as well as mid- trimester loss, late obstetric complications, and related psychological mechanisms. This book will be essential reading for specialists working in recurrent pregnancy loss clinics and associated disciplines, as well as anyone wishing to gain a comprehensive view of developments in the field.
Are free radicals and reactive oxygen species relevant to dermatopathology? Do antioxidants protect against free-radical-mediated cutaneous diseases and aging? To these and further current questions in the rapidly progressing field of basic and applied skin research, this up-to-date volume provides a scientific basis. It presents state-of-the-art reviews on the progress in detection of free radicals and antioxidants and their responses to environmental oxidative stressors. Furthermore, several expert contributions focus on the exciting developments in oxidative DNA damage and UVB- and UVA-induced signal transduction in skin. Finally, information is given on new antioxidant protection strategies against skin carcinogenesis and skin aging which may be fundamental for the pharmaceutical or skin-care products of tomorrow. Due to its unique and up-to-date collection of state-of-the-art contributions by many of the world's leading scientists in the field, this book will be essential reading for dermatologists, cosmetologists, pharmacologists and environmental toxicologists.
This Series provides a comprehensive survey of the major topics in the field of developmental biology. The volumes are valuable to researchers in animal and plant development, as well as to students and professionals who want an introduction to cellular and molecular mechanisms of development. This year marks a major milestone for the Series as it completes its thirtieth year of publication, making it the longest-running forum for contemporary issues in developmental biology.
This is the most complete and up-to-date medical reference work available on the newest clinical developments and scientific findings dealing with contraception, infertility, the endocrinology of reproduction, andrology, reproductive surgery, IVF technology, ethics, and research on human fertility and sterility. It contains 65 chapters by prominent international authorities. As the volume editors state in their Foreword, Whether you are a gynecologist, endocrinologist, biologist, andrologist, or basic scientist, or whatever your own interest-reproductive surgery, assisted medical procreation techniques, new drugs, contraception, reproductive endocrinology, or perhaps all of these-you will find that this book contains the appropriate answers.
Metal chelators are emerging as versatile tool with many medical applications. Their versatility allows them to be used in chelation therapy for treating diseases caused by toxic and heavy metal poisoning, chelating agents are capable of binding to toxic metal ions to form complex structures which are easily excreted from the body removing them from intracellular or extracellular spaces. In addition, metal chelators can also be applied as contrast agents in MRI scanning. Metal Chelation in Medicine provides a clear and timely perspective on the role of chelating agents in the management of metal intoxications and storage diseases. Written by leaders in the field of chelators, this publicatio...

The advent of human in vitro fertilization and developments in molecular science have made it possible to diagnose genetic disease in fetuses at a very early stage of development. This book presents the most recent advances and developments in this new area of applied research. Experts in the field describe and discuss the latest technology, from micromanipulation of single cells to sophisticated methods of DNA analysis. The book considers the implications of this new technology for fetal screening and the prevention of genetic disease, as well as for the control and manipulation of the normal sex ratio. It draws together current knowledge and discusses the new clinical opportunities for dis...
