Recent evidence proving the molecular link between unchecked, chronic inflammation and cancer has implicated the transcription factor NF-kB as a key factor in both inhibiting apoptosis and promoting cell proliferation. Since its initial identification 20 years ago as a simple regulating factor in one small part of the immune response, NF-kB...
The brain, more complex than any computer that has ever been invented, is a unique and special organ: It is what makes us human. The science of the brainвДneuroscienceвДhas emerged as one of the most exciting fields of research and now occupies a central role as a substrate for clinical medicine. At the heart of...
The American workforce is changing, creating new challenges for employers
to provide occupational health services to meet the needs of
employees. First, a shift from manufacturing to services, knowledgecentered,

Biomedical research is at a critical point at present. The research has led
to an enormous amount of data and models describing these data, but approaches
for application, formalization and integration of this knowledge from
the molecular to the system level are still topics of ongoing research and certainly
far from fully...
Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance of the Thorax was first published 21 years ago; it has been 7 years since the publication of the third edition. In retrospect it is truly amazing how much has changed...
Brachytherapy is the clinical use of radioactive isotopes to provide a highly conformal image-guided radiation therapy that takes advantage of the steep fall off dose characteristics and different energetic emanations to improve the therapeutic ratio. Historically it was the first mode of radiation therapy. The last...
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...
This handbook accompanies the first edition of our text Pediatric
Emergency Medicine: A Comprehensive Study Guide. The purpose
