Nanoparticles Synthesis by Soil Microbes: Application in Plant Production and the Environment, a volume in the Plant and Soil Microbiome series, presents an advanced and recent description of plant and soil microbiome in the nanoparticle synthesis and their application in sustainable agriculture and environment. In The book covers the broad aspect of microbial synthesized nanoparticles in their synthesis and application in sustainable agriculture and environmental management in line with the recent and timely further interest in the biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles due to their environmentally-friendly, cost-effective, rapid, and efficient nature.The microbial cell contains various bioactive compounds, and in the last few years, nanoparticle syntheses from the microbial cell have been increasingly sought due to their overall cost effectiveness and less toxic residual products. Microbe-assisted synthesis of nanoparticles could provide a green, environmentally benign, rapid and efficient route for the fabrication of biocompatible nanostructures with diverse physical-chemical and optoelectronic properties.

Resistance in Hematologic Malignancies and Cancer brings together the molecular, cellular, and biochemical basis/principles of various mechanisms of resistance to treatment in hematologic malignancies. Even though main mechanisms of resistance are the same in different types of tumors there are specific signaling pathways involved in resistance in hematological malignancies and specific treatmentsIn 10 chapters: Resistance in Hematologic Malignancies and Cancer describes the development of treatment resistance in hematological malignancies, the role of MiRNA in resistance, the role of the immune system in resistance prediction, as well as the latest knowledge from clinical research. It gives insight in the complex information about different mechanisms linkage in final loss of cell sensitivity to drug treatment, the orientation in metabolic pathways that could be involved in depressed leukemia cell resistance to drugs and gives information about causes of drug resistance in leukemia cells. With a multidisciplinary approach this book is a valuable resource for both health professionals, scientists and researchers, health practitioners, students, and will also enable members of the general professional public to orientate themselves in issues that are not directly in their area of expertise.

Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography: A Clinically-Oriented Atlas introduces a wide range of clinical applications of anterior segment OCT for the diagnosis, follow up, and assessment of medical and surgical treatments and critical interventions. Though there is research on imaging the anterior segment of the eye using OCT, there have not been attempts to compile the implications of these findings into a single source. Rather, this book avoids focusing on generic descriptions of the technology, providing a unique perspective on the clinical aspects of OCT. This atlas will translate research into practice in a way that has never been achieved before.For those wishing to apply the theoretical aspects of OCT to their daily practice, this book provides a unique how-to guide that has thus far been missing from literature. While other books offer significant background on OCT, only this one will serve as a go-to reference for treatment of real patients.
