    • English
    Climate Change and Agricultural Ecosystems explains the causative factors of climate change related to agriculture, soil and plants, and discusses the relevant resulting mitigation process. Agricultural ecosystems include factors from the surrounding areas where agriculture experiences direct or indirect interaction with the plants, animals, and microbes present. Changes in climatic conditions influence all the factors of agricultural ecosystems, which can potentially adversely affect their productivity. This book summarizes the different aspects of vulnerability, adaptation, and amelioration of climate change in respect to plants, crops, soil, and microbes for the sustainability of the agricultural sector and, ultimately, food security for the future. It also focuses on the utilization of information technology for the sustainability of the agricultural sector along with the capacity and adaptability of agricultural societies under climate change. Climate Change and Agricultural Ecosystems incorporates both theoretical and practical aspects, and serves as base line information for future research. This book is a valuable resource for those working in environmental sciences, soil sciences, agricultural microbiology, plant pathology, and agronomy.

  • 250 examens de laboratoire

    en pratique médicale courante
    • 13th Edition

    • French
    Les examens de laboratoire, parfois qualifiés d’examens «complémentaires» alors qu’ils sont indispensables, recherchent bactéries et virus, reconnaissent les cellules anormales, détectent les anticorps, évaluent le fonctionnement des organes, scrutent le milieu intérieur, examinent les gènes.Comment s’en passer ?Ce livre, élaboré par un clinicien, offre aux professionnels de santé un instrument de pratique quotidienne. Ouvrage de référence, il expose tout ce qu’il faut savoir pour prescrire des analyses médicales et interpréter les résultats.Les examens de laboratoire sont présentés sous forme de fiches, classées par ordre alphabétique, qui suivent un plan récurrent : mode et précautions de prélèvement, valeurs normales et cliniques (valeurs pathologiques), objectifs de l’examen et interprétation.Cet ouvrage décrit le raisonnement qui permet de déduire d’un résultat biologique les meilleures conclusions diagnostiques ou thérapeutiques possibles, en interprétant les résultats à la lumière de la clinique, de la littérature scientifique et des données de santé publique.Cette 13e édition est entièrement actualisée, notamment en fonction des publications récentes, des recommandations des sociétés savantes (VIH, allergies, auto-immunité...) et en accord avec la nomenclature de la Sécurité sociale.De nouveaux examens liés à l’actualité médicale (caryotype onco-hématologique, hématocrite, hépatite E…) sont ajoutés.L’ouvrage s’accorde volontairement à la pratique des généralistes, spécialistes et biologistes. Les examens plus rares (biologie moléculaire…) sont traités en accord avec la demande.
