During the last years, there is an increase of field knowledge on a number of comorbidities and extra-articular manifestations (EAMs) associated with inflammatory arthritis. Many adults suffering from inflammatory arthritis also have other chronic conditions, so early detection is key to a patient’s quality of life and survivability outcomes. Comorbidities and Extra-articular Manifestations in Inflammatory Arthritis, the 18th volume in Elsevier’s Handbook for Systemic Autoimmune Diseases series, provides a comprehensive review of the latest research on various comorbidities and EAMs associated with inflammatory arthritis.The book chapters review comorbidities and extra-articular manifestations in early and late disease stages, mechanisms involved in comorbidities development, as well as the impact of new treatment strategies specific to inflammatory arthritis and cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, metabolic bone, infection, neoplasia, respiratory, gastrointestinal, kidney, mental health disease, and neurological disease. This book serves as an ideal reference for researchers and clinicians focused on inflammatory arthritis and related diseases.

The immune system is complex, multi-layered and has evolved throughout the development of invertebrate and vertebrate species to be able to sense the difference between "self" and foreign pathogens. A functioning immune system provides protection against bacterial, viral and parasitic infections; on the other hand, dysregulation of the immune system can result in a wide range of clinically important diseases including autoimmunity, allergies and inflammatory disorders. Understanding of the immune system has led to the development of a broad range of therapeutic interventions of fundamental importance to improve human health.Encyclopedia of Immunobiology, Second Edition, Five Volume Set covers the full range of Immunology, presenting topics in a logical, ordered way, and making extensive use of "hot links" to refer the reader to related content. The new edition is more than a simple updating of content from the original title. Fields such as immunotherapy, immunity to viral infection, vaccine development, inflammatory responses and the role of high throughput analyses are greatly expanded to reflect current and future trends in Immunology. This new edition plays a major role in bringing these concepts to the fore in a logical and coherent way, with the goal of integrating this information into the big picture.

Glycobiology of the Immune System and Disease explores the integration of state-of-the-art glycobiology and immunology to raise awareness of the multifaceted roles of glycans and lectins in the immune system. Glycobiology is a rapidly growing field in biology, with relevance to biomedicine, biotechnology and basic research. Considering the central role that glycans play in immune interactions, glycoproteins and carbohydrates are becoming the targets of next-generation therapeutics, vaccines and diagnostics. Programmed remodeling of host glycans can modulate infection, autoimmunity, and cancer, while microbial glycoconjugates can serve as canonical innate receptor agonists that induce B cell and T cell activation.This important reference investigates microbial and mammalian glycans and their protein-binding partners (lectins) and shows the role they play in all innate and adaptive immune responses. With its comprehensive overview of the field, this is an important resource for academicians, graduate and post graduate students as well as professors and faculty in the field of research in glycobiology and immunology.

Role of Medicinal Plants in Autoimmune Diseases: Concepts, Perspectives, and Utilization provides comprehensive knowledge of autoimmune diseases and the role of various medicinal plant products in their treatment. The book discusses the immune system as a group of complex biological structures and processes in an organism which gives protection against a wide range of pathogenic organisms while simultaneously distinguishing these pathogens from the organism’s own healthy cells and tissues, thus maintaining homeostasis in the body.It has been an age-old practice to use extracts and other parts of various plants in treating many diseases. Several plants contain various pharmacologically active substances which can be used to treat different diseases. Among these medicinal plants, many have shown good immunomodulatory properties and could act as natural immunosuppressant agents in treating autoimmune disorders.

Cytokine Response Against Major Human Viral Infections provides in-depth coverage of the immunological response against human viral infections and the role and impact of cytokines on disease pathogenesis and host immune response.Cytokines, as a part of innate immunity, initiate the development of antiviral and TH 1-type immune responses. Cytokines also affect the adaptive immune response and disease manifestation. In five sections, this book gives a comprehensive introduction to the clinical manifestations of viral and infectious diseases; details the role of cytokines in DNA virus infections, RNA virus infections, and reverse transcribing virus infections; and gives insights into the recent advances and strategies in diagnostic tools and therapeutic and prophylactic measures.Cytokine Response Against Major Human Viral Infections is valuable resource for both researchers in immunology and virology, as well as for those in the biotech and pharmaceutical industries, engaged in the study of cytokines and their immunological response against human viral infections.
