ELECTRONIC IMAGE COLLECTION TO ACCOMPANY BASIC IMMUNOLOGY (2ND EDITION)

By Abul K. Abbas, MD, MBBS and Andrew H. Lichtman, MD, PhD

The 2nd Edition of this popular text emphasizes the fundamental concepts and principles of human immunology that students need to know, without overwhelming them with extraneous material. It leads the reader to a firm understanding of basic principles, using full-color illustrations; short, easy-to-read chapters; color tables that summarize key information clinical cases; and much more-all in a conveniently sized volume that's easy to carry. The New Edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect the many advances that are expanding our understanding of the field.

Key Features
  • Presents all of the most important principles that govern the function of the immune system.
  • Extrapolates key concepts from the vast amount of experimental data that has emerged.
  • Focuses on the cellular interactions in immune responses rather than describing in detail many of the underlying biochemical and molecular mechanisms.
  • Emphasizes immune responses in human rather than experimental animals, drawing upon parallels with experimental situations only when necessary.
  • Uses clear, crisp illustrations, diagrams, figures, charts and tables to highlight important principles.
  • Illustrates how the principles of immunology may be applied to common human diseases through clinical cases in the Appendix.
  • Features an easy-to-read layout; summarizes chapter content in bulleted lists accompanied by review questions; and offers a list of selected readings.

    INNER BATTLE, THE

    A human body - a cooperative society of billions and billions of cells, numbers beyond understanding created according to the recipe found in the hereditary material of the cells.E Every human being, every organism, has its own unique pattern.

    Diseases are as old as life itself. The dinosaurs 200 million years ago suffered from many of the same diseases as we are familiar with today. The disease processes, infections, arthritis and cancer existed a long time before human beings appeared. But mankind has developed medical science as an extension of the bodys own defense system.

    In our century, science has given us more breakthroughs than it has in all the years since Hippocrates. The last 40 years have seen a revolution in the exploration of the bodys own immune system.

    ADVANCES IN IVD ALLERGY TESTING

    By Leonard Fromer, MD; P. Brock Williams, PhD

    This CD contains the proceedings of the audioconference "Advances in IVD Allergy Testing," held January 31, 2007. Reactions to seasonal, environmental and food allergens can range from mere annoyance to a deadly episode for affected patients. And despite the fact that medically significant allergies are becoming more widespread, most cases are still diagnosed on the basis of medical history, clinical symptoms, and skin testing or food challenges. Lab-based in vitro testing, however, can play a key role in confirming clinical suspicions and tailoring treatments. Recently introduced third-generation techniques for specific IgE measurement have produced marked analytical improvements compared to earlier versions of this test. Is your lab providing patient-centered and cost-effective allergy testing? This program explains:
  • Analytic precision and accuracy of commercial immunoassays for specific IgE
  • Use of in vitro IgE testing for diagnosis and monitoring of allergic patients
  • The inherent risks in skin testing and food challenges
  • The value of correct diagnosis on patient quality of life and health economics

    ALLERGY PROCESS, THE

    by Tim Halborn & Suzi Smith

    An allergy is simple a mistake of the immune system. Your immune system learned to have a response to a certain substance at one time and continues to have that response even though the response no longer serves you. Hallbom and Smith demonstrate this simple yet powerful process with a woman who had an allergy to foods of the night shade family and a man who had a life-threatening reaction to bee stings. They discuss a number of applications of the process such as hair loss and cravings. Tom Dotz completes the tape by personally guiding you through the allergy process.
