The Biology of Schwann Cells: Development, Differentiation and Immunomodulation

Cambridge University Press, 2007

It is now over 200 years since Theodore Schwann first described the cell which bears his name. Such early descriptions of nervous system components were done without the powerful microscopes we have today, yet Schwann and Ramon Y. Cajal made foundation observations which still stand. Cajal’s papers, especially, show the...

Nutrigenomics (Oxidative Stress and Disease)

CRC Press, 2005

Nutrition research commenced more than 200 years ago in the dawn of the chemical revolution. The “golden age of nutrition” began in the early 1910s and continued into the 1940s when nutritional sciences focused primarily on diseases associated with single nutrient deficiencies. This led to the formulation of the...

Analgesia, Anaesthesia and Pregnancy: A Practical Guide

Cambridge University Press, 2007

There are now many large and authoritative texts on obstetric anaesthesia and analgesia available to the anaesthetic trainee. With reduced time available for obstetric anaesthetic training, we feel there is a need for a shorter, more practically based text, suitable for both the trainee starting in the maternity suite and the...

Essentials of Apoptosis: A Guide for Basic and Clinical Research

Humana Press, 2003

Life and death are topics that no one takes lightly. In the cell, death by apoptosis is just as fundamental as proliferation for the maintenance of normal tissue homeostasis. Too much or too little apoptosis can lead to developmental abnormality, degenerative diseases, or cancers. Although apoptosis, or programmed cell death (PCD),...

Microarrays in Clinical Diagnostics (Methods in Molecular Medicine)

Humana Press, 2005

Within the last decade, microarray technology has evolved from an emerging technology developed and used by a few laboratories into a well-established technology used in laboratories all over the world. In fact, the need to characterize genetic alterations is one of the highest priorities for the future of medicine and the...

Food Safety Control in the Poultry Industry

CRC Press, 2005

The safety of poultry, meat, and eggs continues to be a major concern for consumers. As a result, there has been a wealth of research on identifying and controlling hazards at all stages on the supply chain. Food Safety Control in the Poultry Industry summarizes this research and its implications for all those involved in supplying and...

Health and the Good Society: Setting Healthcare Ethics in Social Context (Issues in Biomedical Ethics)

Oxford University Press, 2005

In this book I explore some of the implications of looking at healthcare ethics in social context. My starting point is the contention that clinical ethics cannot be insulated from questions in public-health ethics; and the book is in large part an elaboration and defence of that contention. My purpose is partly substantive and...

Neuroethics: Challenges for the 21st Century

Cambridge University Press, 2007

In the late 1960s, a new field of philosophical and moral enquiry came into existence. Bioethics, as it soon came to be called, quickly mushroomed: it developed its own journals, its own professional associations, its own conferences, degree programs and experts. It developed very rapidly for many reasons, but no doubt the main...

All the Mathematics You Missed: But Need to Know for Graduate School

Cambridge University Press, 2001

Math is Exciting. We are living in the greatest age of mathematics ever seen. In the 1930s, there were some people who feared that the rising abstractions of the early twentieth century would either lead to mathematicians working on sterile, silly intellectual exercises or to mathematics splitting into sharply distinct...
