    • Edward S. Greenwald
    • English
    Cancer Chemotherapy: Medical Outline Series discusses the benefits and risks of cancer chemotherapy. This book is composed of 11 chapters that cover the pharmacologic and therapeutic potentials of some chemotherapeutic agents. The opening chapter briefly considers the pharmacology of cancer chemotherapy. Considerable chapters are devoted to some cancer chemotherapeutic agents, including alkylating agents, methotrexate, 6-mercaptopurine, 5-fluorouracil, and Vinca rosea alkaloids. Each chapter examines the indications, dosage, toxicity, physiology, chemistry, and pharmacology of the agents. The final chapter covers the various tumors, and the agent or agents of choice for each tumor. This book will prove useful to internists, surgeons, clinicians, and general practitioners who have had some formal training or supervised experience with chemotherapy.

  • Advances in Magnetic Resonance

    Volume 10
    • 1st Edition
    • October 22, 2013
    • John S. Waugh
    • English
    Advances in Magnetic Resonance, Volume 10, presents a variety of contributions to the theory and practice of magnetic resonance. The book contains three chapters that examine superoperators in magnetic resonance; ultrasonically modulated paramagnetic resonance; and the utility of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and electron-nuclear double-resonance (ENDOR) techniques for studying low-frequency modes of atomic fluctuations and their significance for understanding the mechanism of structural phase transitions in solids.

  • Pharmaceutical Aspects of Cancer Chemotherapy

    Topics in Pharmacy
    • 1st Edition
    • October 22, 2013
    • A. T. Florence + 1 more
    • English
    Pharmaceutical Aspects of Cancer Chemotherapy tackles the concerns in drug formulation and delivery in chemotherapy. The book is comprised of six chapters that cover the physicochemical properties, handling, and administration of chemotherapy drugs. The text first covers the absorption and distribution of anticancer drugs, and then proceeds to covering cytotoxic drug delivery. Next, the book tackles drug interactions with cytotoxic agents. Chapter 4 talks about handling cytotoxic drugs, while Chapter 5 deals with the stability of solutions of anticancer drugs. The last chapter discusses the development and production of cytotoxic drug formulation. The book will be of great use to researchers and practitioners dealing with the research and treatment of cancer.

  • Biochemistry of Cancer

    • 1st Edition
    • October 22, 2013
    • Jesse P. Greenstein
    • English
    Biochemistry of Cancer focuses on cancer research, including induction, chemical composition, and growth of tumors and chemotherapy. The book first offers information on the general phenomena and taxonomy of cancer. Discussions focus on the transmissibility of tumors and experimental basis of cancer research; cancerous transformation of animal tissues in vitro; growth and the vascular reactions of tumors; and classification of animal tumors. The text also ponders on the extrinsic factors in the induction of tumors, including comparative carcinogenicity of hydrocarbons, metabolic fate of injected hydrocarbons, dosage and response to carcinogenic hydrocarbons, and polycyclic hydrocarbons. The manuscript takes a look at the intrinsic factors in the induction of tumors. Topics include influence of sex hormones on carcinogenesis of sex and accessory sex tissues; viruses as causative agents for fowl tumors and rabbit papillomas; and possibility of relatively non-specific endogenous carcinogens. The publication also elaborates on attempts to control tumor induction and growth and the chemistry of tumors. The book is a vital reference for readers interested in the biochemistry of cancer.

  • Spectrometric Techniques

    Volume III
    • 1st Edition
    • October 22, 2013
    • George A. Vanasse
    • English
    Spectrometric Techniques, Volume III presents the applications of spectrometric techniques to atmospheric and space studies. This book reviews the spectral data processing and analysis techniques that are of broad applicability. Organized into five chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the instrumentation used for obtaining field data. This text then reviews the contribution that space-borne spectroscopy in the thermal IR has made to the understanding of the planets. Other chapters consider the instruments that have recorded the planetary emission spectra. This book discusses as well the interpretation of planetary IR spectra based on the theory of radiative transfer, which describes the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter. The final chapter deals with a few practical remarks on calculation of the inverse-filtered spectrum, wherein the Fourier transform of the data is divided by the Fourier transform of the impulse response function for the low frequencies. This book is a valuable resource for spectroscopists and scientists.
