The second part addresses the evolution of pathogens and the relationship between human genetic diversity and the spread of infectious diseases. The next two parts highlight the most promising uses of molecular identification, ...
Navždy spolu
Jackson Hastings se stejně jako jeho předkové věnuje farmaření, ale stále ho to táhne do města. Z dědictví po babičce si proto ve městě zřídí obchod a začne podnikat. Zásnuby s Eloise, dcerou bohatého obchodníka s uměním, jeho venkovskou minulost nadobro uzavřou. Pak se ovšem do jeho života vrátí Melody, která Jacksona bláznivě milovala už od dětství, a všechno se začne komplikovat.

Tertiary Lymphoid Organs (TLOs): Powerhouses of Disease Immunity
The immune system employs TLOs to elicit highly localized and forceful responses to unresolvable peripheral tissue inflammation. Current data indicate that TLOs are protective but they may also lead to collateral tissue injury and serve as nesting places to generate autoreactive lymphocytes. A better comprehension of these powerhouses of disease immunity will likely facilitate development to unprecedented and specific therapies to fight chronic inflammatory diseases.
Neuroimmune Interactions in Pain
As lifespans increase, more people around the world find themselves victims of chronic pain. In spite of this, treatment options continue to be severely limited. Anti-inflammatory drugs can only do so much, while painkillers like opioids have led to crippling addictions and fatal overdoses. The subject of the book is the role of immune cells, including glial cells, and neuroimmune interactions in chronic pain. The book begins by examining the preclinical and clinical evidence supporting the involvement of non-neuronal cells in chronic pain. It discusses the interactions between non-neuronal cells and neurons in the regulation of chronic pain. It then presents the implications of these findings, including promising and emerging treatments such as specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs, such as resolvins and protectins), immune cell therapy, and complementary and alternative medicine, as well as neuromodulation and regenerative medicine, which may prove to be the turning point for hundreds of millions of patients world-wide who struggle to escape from the shadow of chronic pain. The book presents ground-breaking research that will alter current perspectives on chronic pain.

The Transference of the Three Mediating Institutions of Salvation from Caiaphas to Jesus
«It is better one man dies than the whole nation perishes» (Jn 11: 50). Caiaphas' sentence goes beyond ethical principles and religious expectations. It appears as the saying of a cynic politician. Besides, it is seen as the perfidious advice of a corrupted high priest to the members of the Sanhedrin. Who is this man on whose saying a school is formed? Who is this man who played the most important role in the death of Jesus? Indeed Caiaphas' sentence gives rise to the following relevant question: is the prohibition of killing (Dt. 5: 17), even the killing of a single individual in order to save a whole nation, legitimate? Thus, many issues that are associated with this high priest are associated with Jesus. The book is mainly an exegetical and comparative analysis of Jn 11: 45-54 and the Akan myth of the crossing of the river. By providing new theological insights into Caiaphas link to Jesus' death, it gives pertinent answers to the above questions.
Liščí tanec
Byla přesvědčená, že její dospělé děti mají mezi sebou pěkné vztahy. Ale mýlila se. Nebo si to namlouvala, Dost možná si své děti jen slepě idealizovala... K osmdesátým narozeninám si bývalá učitelka Hermína Foretová přála jediné: strávit se syny a dcerou týden v hájence pod svatým Hostýnem, kam s nimi jezdila v čase jejich dětství. Jenže právě tam se všem oživí vzpomínky na tragédii, při níž rodina přišla o svého nejmladšího člena – pětiletého Prokopa. Jeho červená plyšová liška, kterou dostal v roce 1975 od rodičů k pátým narozeninám, začíná po letech rodinu děsit. Čeká na ně v hájence, aby sourozencům i jejich matce připomněla hrůznou minulost. Stará, vypelichaná hračka – která před dvaačtyřiceti lety nedobrovolně tancovala liščí tanec – je provokuje, dráždí a rozděluje. Se svou minulostí se pak musí všichni naučit žít, i když se rozjedou zpět do svých domovů. A stejně jako v dávných sedmdesátých letech, i teď platí, že někdo z nich za to zaplatí životem...
Bude to bolet, doktore?
Vítejte ve světě, kde je 97hodinový pracovní týden. Vítejte ve světě, kde se dělají rozhodnutí o životě a smrti. Vítejte ve světě s nepřetržitou tsunami tělesných tekutin. Vítejte ve světě, kde vyděláváte míň než automat na nemocničním parkovišti. Dejte sbohem svým přátelům a vztahům. Vítejte v životě mladého lékaře. Když Adam Kay poprvé vkročil na nemocniční oddělení, rázem si uvědomil, že na medicíně je neučili spoustě věcí... Jeho deníky z první linie státního zdravotnictví – potají nadrápané po dlouhých nočních šichtách, nekonečných dnech a prošvihnutých víkendech – jsou střídavě legrační, děsivé a s...
