Antifungal Host Defenses

1st Edition
May 1, 2025
Paschalis Vergidis
English

Antifungal Host Defenses: Translational Implications and Therapeutic Opportunities summarizes the current knowledge on interactions between host cells and human fungal pathogens and explains how certain immune defects lead to vulnerability to fungal infection. Chapters focus on immune response to such fungal infections as candidiasis, aspergillus, cryptococcosis, mucormycosis, pneumocystis.This title provides a basis for further study on antifungal immunity by enhancing understanding of antifungal immune responses. Further, this title offers new insights from the host immune response, improving understanding of disease pathogenesis and informing novel prophylactic and therapeutic approaches to fungal infections.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Infectious Diseases

1st Edition
April 1, 2025
Saeed Soleiman Meigooni
English

Diagnosis and Treatment of Infectious Diseases summarizes practical content in infectious diseases using keys topics for better coding and grasping of material. The book's author uses his experience from over 15 years of teaching and working in infectious diseases in more than ten hospitals with thousands of patients as a backdrop. All of its contents use a clinical perspective for a wide range of audiences, such as medical students, general practitioners, nurses, and others. As infectious diseases are among the most common diseases, and a cause of death in many societies, they can create health challenges in developed and developing countries.Medical students have a limited time for infectious diseases rotation in their curriculum and may not learn many infectious diseases syndromes during their entire medical course. Also, due to the high volume of infectious disease subjects in textbooks which overlap symptoms and signs of many microorganisms, they may forget some of the materials. Therefore, access to a comprehensive compact book such as this one seems necessary for any medical staff.

Comorbidities in Inflammatory Arthritis

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.

Simon Flanagan
English

Handbook of Food Allergen Detection and Control, Second Edition continues to be an essential resource of scientific and technical information in the food and analytical communities. This book provides information on current and emerging technologies for detecting and reducing allergens to improve allergen control overall. Written by experts in the field, it offers a wide scientific perspective on allergens and includes hot topics such as food allergen labeling and consumer perspectives on food allergen labels. Chapters are fully revised to include the latest information in the industry, including practical applications of new methods and control strategies. The book is useful for anyone in the food supply chain.The book reviews current and emerging technologies for detecting and reducing allergens, as well as issues such as traceability, regulation, and consumer attitudes. Following an introductory chapter by a distinguished expert, Part One covers allergen management throughout the food chain. Part Two details current and emerging methods of allergen detection in food, with Part Three covering methods for reducing and eliminating allergens in food. Finally, Part Four focuses on the control and detection of individual food allergens and the risks each one presents in food manufacturing.

Glycobiology of the Immune System and Disease

1st Edition
March 1, 2025
Shyamasree Ghosh
English

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.

Zbigniew Zasłona + 2 more
English

Metabolites as Signals in Immunity and Inflammation describes the revolution in the definition of the word metabolism, highlighting changes in thinking about the whole field of immunology. These changes occur thanks to breakthrough experiments in basic research, and with the help of new technologies that allow for the testing of immunology hypotheses. In recent years, a substantial number of findings have been made around immunometabolism. What is emerging is a complex interplay between metabolic reprogramming and immunity, which is providing an extra dimension to our understanding of the immune system in health and disease.

Vaccinology and Immunizations is a thorough resource on the immune system, the history of vaccines, vaccine preparation, the process of vaccine approval, and the prevention and eradication of diseases. It also includes chapters on vaccine safety and errors, and complete information on pediatric and adult immunizations. There is also discussion on elderly immunology and immunization for people who are seeking to travel abroad, as well as timely information about COVID-19.Its focus on the innate and adaptive defense systems of the body will ensure understanding of human immunity and how immunizations are effective. There is a variety of available titles related to vaccinology and immunizations, but many are now outdated. Vaccinology and Immunizations provides a new, updated resource that is widely needed, and will be welcomed by students of undergraduate, graduate and master level in vaccinology or immunology, and would also be of interest to nurses, researchers, and pharmacists.
