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...

An integrated overview of cancer drug discovery and development from the bench to the clinic, showing with broad strokes and representative examples the drug development process as a network of linked components leading from the discovered target to the ultimate therapeutic product. Following a systems biology approach, the authors explain...
Despite rapidly expanding interest in potential applications of surrogate tissue analysis and intense competition to identify and validate biomarkers in appropriate surrogate tissues, very few peer reviewed publications describing the use of this approach have appeared in the scientific press. One of the first publications on this topic,...
As the number of forensic science and forensic chemistry degree programs has increased over the last few years, Forensic Chemistry was the first book to specifically address this rapidly growing field. It introduces the principal areas of study from the perspective of analytical chemistry, addressing the legal context in which forensic...
This is a monograph on the concept of residual life, which is an alternative summary measure of time-to-event data, or survival data. The mean residual life has been used for many years under the name of life expectancy, so it is a natural concept for summarizing survival or reliability data. It is also more interpretable than the popular...
The so-called “green wave”, triggered by a growing ecological awareness, has resulted in
an increased interest in herbal formulations throughout the world, particularly in the last
decade. The consumption of medicinal plants has almost doubled in the West during that
period. The efficacy of a number of herbal formulations...
