Genes, Chromosomes, and Disease: From Simple Traits, to Complex Traits, to Personalized Medicine

Genes, Chromosomes, and Disease: From Simple Traits, to Complex Traits, to Personalized Medicine By Nicholas Wright Gillham
Publisher: F T Press 2011 | 352 Pages | ISBN: 0137075448 | PDF | 6 MB

100+ Years of Medical Genetics: An Authoritative History in Social and Ethical Context
This is an exceptionally readable overview of the rise and transformations of medical genetics throughout the past century. It thoroughly reviews the field, summarizes current scientific understanding, and encourages readers to seriously reflect on the ethical and social implications.

Gillham explains:

• How genetic diseases arise and why some ethnic groups are more susceptible to specific disorders
• How scientists are trying to identify the genetic factors underlying multifaceted conditions like diabetes and heart disease
• The value and limitations of genetic information in prevention, treatment, and cure
• The complex, subtle interrelationships between genes and cancer
• What science knows--and doesn’t know--about genetics and human behavior
• The fraught, controversial history of attempts to link genes with intelligence
• Gene therapy: what’s worked and what hasn’t
• The potential and profound implications of personalized medicine
• Extensive references are provided, along with a complete glossary.

Jörg Klekamp, Madjid Samii, "Surgery of Spinal Tumors"

Jörg Klekamp, Madjid Samii, "Surgery of Spinal Tumors" 
Publisher: Springer | ISBN: 3540447148 | edition 2007 | PDF | 526 pages | 36.1 mb

This comprehensive reference describes the experience with the treatment of patients with spinal tumors gained over a period of 25 years. It covers clinical presentations and neuroradiological features of intramedullary, extramedullary and extradural spinal tumors. Furthermore, it provides step-by-step intraoperative photographs to describe surgical strategies and techniques, and gives detailed statistical analyses on postoperative outcomes by focussing on postoperative complications, short-term and long-term results. Every physician who treats patients with spinal tumors will find valuable source of reference to operate these patients. Unlike other textbooks, this is not a collection of contributions by several authors in this field but the essence of the work on spinal tumors in a single neurosurgical institution.

CRC Handbook of Medicinal Spices

b]James A. Duke, Mary Jo Bogenschutz-Godwin "CRC Handbook of Medicinal Spices"[/b]CRC | ISBN 0849312795 | 2002-09-27 | 360 Pages | PDF | 3.6 Mb

"Let food be your medicine, medicine your food." -Hippocrates, 2400 B.C. When the "Father of Medicine" uttered those famous words, spices were as important for medicine, embalming, preserving food, and masking bad odors as they were for more mundane culinary matters. Author James A. Duke predicts that spices such as capsicum, cinnamon, garlic, ginger, onion, and turmeric will assume relatively more medicinal importance again, as the economic costs and knowledge of the side-effects of prescription pharmaceuticals increase. After all, each spice contains thousands of useful phytochemicals. Pharmaceuticals usually contain only one or two. Discover the Science behind the Folklore Spices are important medicines that have withstood the empirical tests of millennia. Nearly 5,000 years ago Charak, the father of Ayurvedic medicine, claimed that garlic lightens the blood, reduces tumors, and is an aphrodisiac tonic. Today scientists say it thins the blood, prevents cancer, and increases libido. For centuries people worldwide have used spices to cure a myriad of ailments and to preserve foods. Now science is proving that these spices may preserve us with their antioxidant and antiseptic activities. Organized by scientific name, the CRC Handbook of Medicinal Spices provides the science behind the folklore of over 60 popular spices. For each spice, it lists: Scientific name Common name Medicinal activities and indications Multiple activities Other uses, especially culinary Cultivation Chemistry Important phytochemical constituents and their activities The handbook also includes market and import data, culinary uses, ecology and cultural information, and discusses at length the use of spices as antiseptics and antioxidants.

Biopharmaceuticals in Plants: Toward the Next Century of Medicine

Biopharmaceuticals in Plants: Toward the Next Century of Medicine By Kathleen Laura Hefferon
CRC Press | Pages: 224 | 2009-11-10 | ISBN 1439804745 | PDF | 3 MB

Transgenic plants present enormous potential to become one of the most cost-effective and safe systems for large-scale production of proteins for industrial, pharmaceutical, veterinary, and agricultural uses. Over the past decade, much progress has been made with respect to the development of vaccines, antibodies, and other therapeutic proteins. Biopharmaceuticals in Plants: Toward the Next Century of Medicine provides a comprehensive survey of all major aspects of the development and production of plant-made biopharmaceuticals.
Accompanied by an exhaustive list of references to facilitate further study, this critical volume:
Describes the theory and practice of modern plant transformation techniques with respect to nuclear and plastic genomes Outlines the steps involved in the generation of transgenic plants Discusses the engineering of plant virus expression vectors for transient expression of vaccine proteins and other therapeutics in plant tissue Addresses the significant role of glycosylation in the production of plant-made mammalian proteins Investigates the basis of mucosal immunity using plant-based oral vaccines Examines the scale-up of plant-derived vaccine and therapeutic proteins in entire crops or in large batch cell suspension cultures Explores the development of clinical trials utilizing plant-derived biopharmaceutical proteins Evaluates risks and biosafety concerns regarding plant-derived pharmaceuticals

The book concludes with a discussion of the future of plant-based vaccines and other therapeutic proteins with respect to commercial viability and as a tool to improve global public health. Far-reaching in its scope, this text is a baseline reference that students and researchers in a broad range of fields such as medicine, plant science, biotechnology, crop science, natural products chemistry, and engineering will consult regularly. It will also serve as a useful tool for individuals and companies seeking to invest in this dynamic area.
