Translational Autoimmunity: Advances in Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases, Volume Six addresses autoimmune diseases classified under the category of rheumatic diseases. Rheumatic diseases are heterogeneous groups of disorders in which inflammation affects not only joints, but also tendons, ligaments and bones. This updated release focuses on immunopathogenesis and clinical and laboratory details of rheumatic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriatic arthritis, osteoarthritis and Sjogren’s syndrome, and will be of interest to researchers, students and clinicians interested in autoimmune diseases, especially rheumatic diseases. From an introduction to rheumatic diseases to diagnostic laboratory tests, and from the microbiota-immunity to cell-based therapies, the bench to bedside approach to rheumatic diseases is the main subject of discussion in this comprehensive resource.

Angiotensin: From the Kidney to Coronavirus, a new volume in the Molecular Mediators in Health and Disease series, presents the communication role of the hormone in both health and disease states. Beyond the most common conditions, the book also explores the role of Angiotensin in infectious diseases, like COVID-19. Sections provide background to its discovery and role in homeostasis, focus on molecular biology aspects, including genetics and measurements of its associated proteins, describe the specific actions of angiotensin in normal physiology with different organ systems, survey different classes of drugs that act on the Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, cover non-angiotensin II peptides, and more. The final part of the book is dedicated to angiotensin’s role in disease states, making this the ideal reference for researchers in life sciences interested in understanding the physiological role of Angiotensin in a complete fashion. Research physicians will also benefit from the book’s complete coverage of organ systems and diseases where Angiotensin plays a key role.

Haschek and Rousseaux's Handbook of Toxicologic Pathology, recognized by many as the most authoritative single source of information in the field of toxicologic pathology, has been extensively updated to continue its comprehensive and timely coverage. The fourth edition has been expanded to five separate volumes due to an explosion of information in this field requiring new and updated chapters. Completely revised with a number of new chapters, Volume 2: Toxicologic Pathology in Safety Assessment is an essential part of the most authoritative reference on toxicologic pathology principles and techniques for assessing product safety and human risk. Volume 2 describes the integration of product-induced structural and functional changes in tissues and the interpretation of their biological implications. Completely revised with many new chapters, Volume 2 of the Fourth Edition covers product safety assessment from many angles including current and emerging issues in toxicologic pathology for many product classes. Volume 2 of the Handbook of Toxicologic Pathology is a key resource for pathologists, toxicologists, research scientists, and regulators who use toxicologic pathology methods to study and make decisions on product safety.

**Association of American Publishers (AAP) PROSE Award Winner in Clinical Medicine, 2024 and Reference Works & Textbooks Multivolume, 2024**Informed by the Biopsychosocial Model, this Encyclopedia of Child and Adolescent Health examines multiple aspects of child and adolescent development and physical and mental health. According to the Biopsychosocial Model, health is determined by the reciprocal interactions between biological (e.g., genetics, physical development, family health history), psychological (e.g., mental health, identity developmental, attitudes), and social (e.g., family, peers, school, social supports) factors. This theory posits that each one of these factors alone is not sufficient to understand health; instead, it is important to understand how these interactive components ultimately influence health outcomes.In addition to the Biopsychosocial Model, this Encyclopedia of Child and Adolescent Health has a translational approach. Each section and all applicable entries include a discussion of prevention or intervention efforts that can inform health and health promotion, and prevent health risks.
