Congestive Heart Failure

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006

Having first decided to organize and edit a book on heart failure in 1992 (with a 1994 publication date), we have been astounded at the changes in the field over a relatively brief 14-year period. It is with some amusement that we now look back at our first edition and note a combined chapter of beta agonists and...

Springer, 2005

This book is written to provide in-depth and current information on the molecular basis of fibrotic diseases in various tissues and organs. Why do we need a new book on fibrosis? Several currently available books on fibrosis are mostly devoted to specific tissue or organ systems; in contrast, this book is especially designed to...

Targeted Therapies in Cancer: Myth or Reality? (Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology)

Cancers share a restricted set of characteristics crucial to the tumor phenotype: proliferation in the absence of external growth stimuli, avoidance of apoptosis and no limits to replication, escape from external growth-suppressive forces and the immune response, an inflammatory micro-environment with new blood vessel...

Handbook of Copper Pharmacology and Toxicology

Humana Press, 2002

Copper (Cu), an essential trace element, is required for the survival of organisms ranging from bacteria to mammals. Because Cu ions can adopt distinct redox states (oxidized Cu[II] or reduced Cu[I]), they play a pivotal role in cell physiology as catalytic cofactors in the redox chemistry of enzymes involved in a broad spectrum of...

Fundamentals of Pediatric Cardiology

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006

Many pediatricians and family practice physicians are intimidated by heart disease in infants, children, and adolescents. This may result from the perception that learning so many types of congenital heart defects and diseases may appear to be an insurmountable task. In addition becoming an expert in auscultation of the...

Moreover, some diseases with proper treatment have been virtually annihilated, such as polio, rheumatic fever, smallpox, and, to some extent, tuberculosis. Other diseases seem to target one organ, such as the heart,...

The Adrenergic Receptors in the 21st Century (The Receptors)

Humana Press, 2005

Our understanding of adrenergic function has advanced considerably in the 15 years since three adrenergic receptor books were published in The Receptors series. In the late 1980s, many of the adrenergic subtypes had not yet been cloned. Most of the studies during that time focused on traditional pharmacological approaches in...

Nutraceutical Proteins and Peptides in Health and Disease (Nutraceutical Science and Technology)

CRC Press, 2005

Reports of the beneficial health effects of some peptides have begun to make their way into the scientific literature. Peptides can act as immunomodulators, and have been shown to have a positive influence on calcium absorption, and on regulation of serum cholesterol. A number of peptides may also possess antimicrobial properties that enhance...
