Sex-Based Differences in Lung Physiology
This book provides an overview of the latest experimental work on sex-based differences in lung function and inflammation. Readers will learn how these differences relate to individual predispositions for the development of lung disease in men and women, and in different stages of their reproductive lives. Further, the book focuses on diseases that predominantly affect women or men, with an emphasis on the physiological mechanisms underlying their pathobiology. In turn, these findings are complemented by chapters on recent studies, which investigate how circulating sex hormone levels impact the lung’s innate immune response to environmental agents and air pollution. The pathogeneses of asthma and viral respiratory infection are also major focus areas. As an outlook, the book also discusses current and future research directions aimed at developing sex-specific therapies for lung disease. To examine these anatomical and physiological differences in the male and female respiratory systems, the authors employ a broad range of methods from molecular and clinical biology. Accordingly, the book will be a fascinating read for physiologists and clinicians alike.
Highlights of NIH Women's Health and Sex Differences Research
What started as a collection of two or three brief examples from each IC was eventually expanded into this extensive and exciting document. This occurred because of the overwhelming and enthusiastic response of the ICs through the NIH internal advisory Coordinating Committee on Research on Women's Health (CCRWH), composed of IC directors or their designees. The ORWH proudly presents this report, entitled Highlights of NIH Women's Health and Sex Differences Research, 1990-2010, in which the ICs themselves have identified their best examples of women's health and sex differences research. It is even more encouraging to note that these highlights by no means are intended as a comprehensive list, but represent "snapshots" of examples from the 20 years of ORWH's existence.
The Laboratory Primate
A volume in the Handbook of Experimental Animals series, The Laboratory Primate details the past and present use of primates in biomedical research, and the husbandry, nutritional requirements, behaviour, and breeding of each of the commonly used species. Practical information on regulatory requirements, not available in other texts, is covered. Sections on experimental models cover the major areas of biomedical research, including AIDS, cancer, neurobiology and gene therapy. Assisted reproductive technology, tissue typing, and minimum group sizes for infectious disease/vaccine studies are also included. - Two-color, user-friendly format, with copious illustrations and color plates - Includes detailed, well-illustrated sections on gross & microscopic anatomy, common diseases, and special procedures, including surgical techniques
Animal Models of Diabetes
As the incidence of diabetes increases worldwide, the need for recommendations on how to prevent and treat the condition grows exponentially, and so does the need for an authoritative source for information on the appropriate models to study the condition. The new edition of Animal Models of Diabetes is that source. The book presents updated
Microcirculatory Approach to Asian Traditional Medicine
Hardbound. This book comprises selected papers presented at the meeting on Asian Traditional Medicine and Microcirculation held in Beijing, August 1995. Ideas on the present status of Asian Traditional Medicine and on strategy for scienctific evaluation were exchanged with guests from Europe, America and Asia. The symposium critically examined modern concepts and methods for a comprehensive evaluation of Asian traditional therapies, such as herbal medicine and acupuncture.This book considers the significance of Asian Traditional Medicine from the viewpoint of the microcirculatory science, including the European view of Asian Traditional Medicine. Modern concepts and methods in microcirculation are proposed for evaluating therapies comprehensively. Microcirculatory aspects of Asian Traditional Medicine are reported with clinical applications of biophysical (magnetism or acupuncture) or herbal medicines in Asia and Europe, and opinions for developing
