Pathogenesis

This book discusses topics highly correlated with тon-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) such as the regulation of iron metabolism, the role of the enzyme heparanase in liver steatosis, transcriptional regulation by ERR and its role in pathogenesis, hepatic lipid homeostasis, therapeutic approaches to NAFLD, and pathogenesis and significance of HDL as a molecular modifier in NAFLD.

This book covers the wide set of well-regulated virulence factors and defense mechanisms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa focusing on stress responses and the evolution of this opportunistic human pathogen.

This volume is a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of these two closely related parasitic diseases. The book covers all aspects of taeniasis and cysticercosis/neurocysticercosis, from epidemiology and pathogenesis to diagnosis and treatment.

This book presents the latest advances in knowledge of the pathogenesis of thyroid diseases and describes the state of the art in their diagnosis and treatment, including newly emerging management approaches. After an opening section that addresses thyroid physiology and laboratory evaluation, each of the major thyroid diseases and their subtypes is discussed, covering goiter and thyroid nodule, thyroiditis, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism and thyrotoxicosis, and thyroid carcinoma.

For decades this virus system has served–and continues to do so–to pioneer investigations on the molecular biology, biochemistry and genetics of mammalian cell systems.

This new edition now titled “Human Chromosome Variation: Heteromorphism, Polymorphism and Pathogenesis” provides the reader with an up-to-date overview of microarrays, fragile sites, copy number variations and whole genome sequencing.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and associated conditions. Chapters address such topics as the role of obesity in CVD, cardiotoxicity, cardio-oncology, CVD in different disease states, modalities for detecting CVD, interventional strategies to prevent or treat CVD, and much more.
