• Applications of Information Theory to Epidemiology collects recent research findings on the analysis of diagnostic information and epidemic dynamics. • The collection includes an outstanding new review article by William Benish, providing both a historical overview and new insights. • In research articles, disease diagnosis and disease dynamics are viewed from both clinical medicine and plant pathology perspectives. Both theory and applications are discussed. • New theory is presented, particularly in the area of diagnostic decision-making taking account of predictive values, via developments of the predictive receiver operating characteristic curve. • New applications of information theory to the analysis of observational studies of disease dynamics in both human and plant populations are presented.
The purpose of this book-the fourth volume of a series on Can cer Markers-is intended to provide an updated "status report" on today's use of cancer markers in the diagnosis and monitoring of can cer, with an emphasis on cancer markers detected in the serum. It has been 7 years since the publication of the last volume in this series. The 1980, 1982, and 1985 volumes covered the development of cancer markers, not only in their roles of unraveling the basic biology of can cer, but also as increasingly important players in the management of patients with cancer. During the last 7 years we have seen the applica tion of a number of markers identified by monoclonal antibodies, as well as the begin...

In this report, the members of the Sonderforschungsbereich 74 'Molekularbiologie der Zelle' summarize the results of their research conducted from 1970 to 1988. The main topics treated in this detailed overview of research in the molecular biology of the cell include molecular mechanisms, plant molecular biology, development and differentiation, immunology, virology and gene transfer. The newcomer to molecular biology will find a detailed description of research done in K?ln which in most of the groups has become the basis for currently pursued interests. The contributors to this report conducted their research at the Institutes of Biochemistry, Developmental Biology, and Genetics of the Universit?t zu K?ln and the Max-Planck-Institut f?r Z?chtungsforschung in K?ln-Vogelsang.
In describing the principles of PET, this makes for a useful resource for incorporating the technique in clinical practice. In clear and straightforward fashion, the book offers instructive information and overviews of the physical, biochemical and clinical principles of PET scanning and its routine clinical use. It serves as a reference work for specialists in nuclear medicine and for oncologists, while also providing students and physicians in other medical specialties with a general introduction to the effective integration of this modern technique in routine clinical diagnostics. Above all, it illustrates the importance of PET in comparison with other imaging techniques.
