Mechanisms of Dietary Restriction in Aging and Disease (Interdisciplinary Topics in Gerontology and Geriatrics, Vol. 35)

Karger, 2006

Dietary restriction uniquely and robustly increases maximum lifespan and greatly reduces age-related diseases in many species, including yeast, flies, nematodes, and mammals. To study mechanisms mediating the protective effects of dietary restriction, the National Institute of Aging convened a program involving several leading gerontological...

Apoptosis, Senescence and Cancer (Cancer Drug Discovery and Development)

Humana Press, 2007

The goals of chemotherapy (and radiotherapy) are to eliminate tumor cell targets by promoting cell death. In recent years, a major focus has been placed on programmed cell death or apoptosis as the primary mechanism of cell killing. However, tumor cells may respond to various forms of treatment in diverse ways, only some of which...

Phytochemicals: Nutrient-Gene Interactions

CRC Press, 2006

Understanding phytochemical–gene interactions provides the basis for individualized therapies to promote health as well as prevent and treat disease. The authors of Phytochemicals: Nutrient–Gene Interactions examine the interactions between phytochemicals and the human genome and discuss the impact these interactions have...

CI Techniques & Algorithms for a Variety of Medical Imaging Situations

Documents recent advances and stimulates further research

A compilation of the latest trends in the field, Computational Intelligence in Medical Imaging: Techniques and Applications explores how intelligent...

Putting XML to Work in the Library: Tools for Improving Access and Management

American Library Association, 2003

The authors, hoping to stimulate interest in XML (Extensible Markup Language) and explain its value to the library community, offer a fine introduction to the topic. The opening chapter defines XML as "a system for electronically tagging or marking up documents in order to label, organize, and categorize their content" and then goes on to...

Analyzing Receiver Operating Characteristic Curves With SAS (Sas Press Series)

SAS Institute, 2007

As a diagnostic decision-making tool, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves provide a comprehensive and visually attractive way to summarize the accuracy of predictions. They are extensively used in medical diagnosis and increasingly in fields such as data mining, credit scoring, weather forecasting, and psychometry. In this example-driven...

Molecular Biology of Human Cancers: An Advanced Student's Textbook

Springer, 2005

The present book grew out from a lecture course I have taught for more than 5 years,
often together with colleagues who covered topics and cancers they are more
familiar with than myself. These lectures were mainly attended by biology and
medical students well advanced in their curricula, but also by clinical trainees doing...

Nutrition and Cancer Prevention (Nutrition and Disease Prevention)

CRC Press, 2005

Epidemiological studies have estimated that approximately 35 percent of cancers are potentially avoidable by nutritional modification. These modifications include strategies such as caloric restriction and limitation of specific macro-nutrient groups. However, recent research indicates that what you eat may well be just as important as what...

Implementing Responsive Design: Building sites for an anywhere, everywhere web (Voices That Matter)

New Riders Publishing, 2012

A few years back, photography legend Chase Jarvis smartly observed that “the best camera is the one that’s with you.” It was a mildly shocking assertion at the time, but it rings true: the perfect shot is rarely planned. Rather, it sneaks up on you.

Perhaps the light is perfectly...

Cancer Drug Resistance (Cancer Drug Discovery and Development)

Humana Press, 2006

Leading experts summarize and synthesize the latest discoveries concerning the changes that occur in tumor cells as they develop resistance to anticancer drugs, and suggest new approaches to preventing and overcoming it. The authors review physiological resistance based upon tumor architecture, cellular resistance based on drug transport,...

CURED I - LENT Late Effects of Cancer Treatment on Normal Tissues (Medical Radiology / Radiation Oncology)

Springer, 2007

This volume is based on the LENT V NCI-sponsored meeting held in May 2004 and the CURED I Conference in 2006. Written by experts in the field, it addresses a critical topics relating to late effects, such as mechanisms of injury, the role of screening, options for interventions, second malignancies, and prevention. It is hoped that these...

Tumor Angiogenesis: Basic Mechanisms and Cancer Therapy

Springer, 2007

Tumor angiogenesis is one of the most prominent mechanisms driving tumor development and progression. This book is written by internationally renowned experts. Part 1 describes the basic mechanisms. Tumor-angiogenic signaling pathways are presented as new potential targets for anti-angiogenic therapy. Part 2 reviews the efforts made to...
