Swine Flu
Describes the H1N1 influenza, or "swine flu", epidemic of 2009, including its reception in the public eye and the practical and ethical issues of the virus's vaccine, and discusses the future of the influenza virus.
Cancer Stem Cell Resistance to Targeted Therapy
This book represents an up-dated summary of the state of the art of the characterization of cancer stem cell/ cancer initiating cell (CSC/CIC) properties. An overview of the definition and biological properties of CSCs/CICs as well as the role of these cells in determining the resistance to standard and immune-based therapies is provided. It also discusses limitations in the achievement of a definitive biological characterization of CSCs/CICs due to their high extent of plasticity and heterogeneity that is also mutually driven by the interaction of these cells with the tumor microenvironment. The limitations in targeting CSCs/CICs with immunotherapy are also explained together with explorati...
Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of all aspects of childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, from basic biology to supportive care. It offers new insights into the genetic pre-disposition to the condition and discusses how response to early therapy and its basic biology are utilized to develop new prognostic stratification systems and target therapy. Readers will learn about current treatment and outcomes, such as immunotherapy and targeted therapy approaches. Supportive care and management of the condition in resource poor countries are also discussed in detail. This is an indispensable guide for research and laboratory scientists, pediatric hematologists as well as specialist nurses involved in the care of childhood leukemia.
Pediatric Venous Thromboembolism
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) occurs less often in children than adults and therefore remains underrecognized despite increasing in incidence. Due to the risk of mortality, short- and long-term morbidity, and increased healthcare costs associated with pediatric VTE, this entity merits better understanding and consideration. With this Research Topic, we aim to highlight some special considerations of pediatric VTE, namely risk factors and epidemiology, rare types of pediatric thrombosis and considerations unique to specific clinical patient subgroups, approaches to management and treatment, and prevention
Clinical Management of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
This book provides a state-of-the-art overview of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The first section of the book presents the translational science behind ALL, reviewing molecular pathways and targets in B- and T-cell ALL, as well as techniques and application of minimal residual disease testing. The second section spotlights ALL management strategies for patients across the spectrum, from infants to the elderly. The final section outlines current and new advances in ALL treatment, including new monoclonal antibodies and allogenic and autologous HSCT. Written by experts in the field, Clinical Management of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: From Bench to Bedside is a valuable resource that will guide patient management, stimulate investigative efforts, and increase understanding of the biologic underpinnings of the disease.
Pathogenesis and Treatment of Leukemia
This book covers a comprehensive update on acute and chronic leukemia. In 54 chapters, authors introduce research progress and clinical trials of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL), acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The last decade has seen the integration of genetic and clinical information to determine the prognosis and treatment strategies. This book provides practitioners, researchers and graduate students of Hematology and Hematopathology a comprehensive update on the pathobiology, genomics, classification, diagnosis, monitoring, prognostication and therapy of both acute and chronic leukemias.
