Innumeracy: Mathematical Illiteracy and Its Consequences (Vintage)

Vintage, 1990

Dozens of examples in innumeracy show us how it affects not only personal economics and travel plans, but explains mischosen mates, inappropriate drug-testing, and the allure of psuedo-science.

Innumeracy, an inability to deal comfortably with the fundamental notions of number and chance, plagues far too many otherwise...

Immunology and Immunopathogenesis of Malaria (Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology)

Springer, 2005

Malaria is still a major global health problem, killing more than one million people every year. Almost all of these deaths are caused by Plasmodium falciparum, one of the four species of malaria parasites infecting humans. This high burden of mortality falls heavily on sub-Saharan Africa, where over 90% of these deaths are...

Pediatric Pathology (2 Volume Set)

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2001

In the nearly 10 years since the first edition was published, there have been substantial alterations in practice patterns in pediatric pathology, primarily as a result of the role that health-maintenance organizations have had in determining where the pediatric patient will be treated. As more of these patients are...

Iminosugars: From Synthesis to Therapeutic Applications

John Wiley & Sons, 2007

The field of iminosugars is a very exciting area of research. These carbohydrate mimetics were first imagined and synthesized by chemists in the 1960s before being isolated from Nature a few years later. Since the discovery of their biological activity as potent glycosidase inhibitors in the 1970s, iminosugars have been the subject...

Selenium in Food and Health

Springer, 2006

Selenium is a contradictory nutrient. It has been called the essential poison—too much of it in the diet can be toxic; too little can result in chronic, and sometimes fatal, deficiency. Even health authorities have at times been confused. Although today in the USA, as in most other countries, selenium appears among the trace...

Cytokines in Human Health: Immunotoxicology, Pathology, and Therapeutic Applications (Methods in Pharmacology and Toxicology)

Humana Press, 2007

Over the past three decades the field of immunotoxicology, the study of the effects of exposure to drugs, chemicals, or physical/environmental agents on the structure and function of the immune system has benefited from an increasingly detailed understanding of the cellular and molecular basis of innate and acquired immunity....

Pharmacogenetics of Psychotropic Drugs

Cambridge University Press, 2002

This book provides a conceptual framework for understanding and studying the pharmacogenetics of psychotropic drugs, reviews advances in the field, and describes the findings that have already emerged. Coverage extends to antipsychotics, antidepressants and mood stabilizing, cognitive-enhancing and anxiolytic drugs. The volume also examines...

Scientific Computing with Multicore and Accelerators (Chapman & Hall/CRC Computational Science)

CRC Press, 2010

The hybrid/heterogeneous nature of future microprocessors and large high-performance computing systems will result in a reliance on two major types of components: multicore/manycore central processing units and special purpose hardware/massively parallel accelerators. While these technologies have numerous benefits, they also pose substantial...

Operative Neuromodulation: Volume 1: Functional Neuroprosthetic Surgery. An Introduction (Acta Neurochirurgica Supplement)

Springer, 2007

This is the first part in a two-volume work on neuromodulation. It describes techniques and procedures applied in internal contact with non-neural tissues surrounding the nervous system (dura or cerebrospinal fluid), as in the case of epidural stimulation for pain or intrathecal drug application for the treatment of spasticity and pain. In...

Molecular Diversity in Drug Design

Springer, 1999

This book focuses on the theoretical problems associated with molecular diversity as it is being applied in the pharmaceutical industry. Therefore, this book deals with algorithms that are involved in understanding chemical space and selection of diverse sets of structures. The algorithms also deal with the problem of focused diversity where...

The Poison Paradox: Chemicals As Friends and Foes

Oxford University Press, 2005

To appreciate the dangers and the risks from chemicals of all kinds it is necessary to understand how, when and why they are toxic. This falls within the field of toxicology and is what this book is all about.

I was encouraged to write the book by Dr John Emsley, who is well known for his popular science books on...

COX-2 Blockade in Cancer Prevention and Therapy (Cancer Drug Discovery and Development)

Humana Press, 2003

The revelation that aspirin and aspirin-like compounds have notable antineoplastic properties has revolutionized cancer research. COX-2 Blockade in Cancer Prevention and Therapy chronicles the evidence and presents exciting new opportunities for the use of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) blockade in the prevention and treatment of cancer. The text...
