Download or read book Molecular Biology of the Lung written by Robert Stockley and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 1998-12-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The techniques and knowledge in molecular biology are advancing rapidly. The basic mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of various lung conditions including asthma, COPD and lung cancer are being clarified by the application of this powerful technology. Genetic causes of single gene disorders such as cystic fibrosis and alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency have now been well delineated. This progress leads to an understanding of the pathogenic process that result in disease. The purpose of Volumes I and II of "Molecular Biology of the Lung" is to provide an update on the use of this powerful technology. As such, the books provide an insight into the techniques for the non-specialist. Scientists embarking upon studies in chronic lung disease will find a review of the current status of research. At the same time, the books are useful to clinicians, both specialist and academic, and to scientists already involved in the basic aspects of the pathogenesis of lung disease. Both volumes deal with basic mechanisms of cell biology, receptors and cell activation and provides an insight as to how the technology influences our concepts of pathogenesis and vice versa.

Download or read book The Molecular Genetics of Lung Cancer written by David N Cooper and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-11-20 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality in Western countries. It also provides an archetypal example of how inherited predisposing genetic variants may interact with an environmental influence (smoking) to modulate individual cancer risk. The Molecular Genetics of Lung Cancer describes how the new techniques, methods and approaches of molecular genetics are being used to unravel the complexities of the mechanisms underlying lung tumorigenesis by analysis at the DNA, RNA and protein levels with potentially important implications for tumour classification, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment as well as providing new insights into how lung tumours arise and how they progress to malignancy.

Download or read book Molecular Biology of Acute Lung Injury written by Hector R. Wong and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acute lung injury (ALI) impacts patient care in every ICU in the world. Our collective understanding of this condition has grown immensely over the past decade but morbidity and mortality remain unacceptably high. To enhance the understanding of clinicians and researchers, this book addresses the pathophysiology of acute lung injury from a molecular and cellular standpoint; includes animal models of acute lung injury and points to potential therapeutic advances based on scientific findings. It is a concise compendium of the multiple pathways, mechanisms and molecules involved in the pathophysiology of acute lung injury and is intended to help caregivers understand the process and thus care for patients more effectively.
Download or read book Molecular Biology of Lung Disease written by Peter Barnes and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1994-04-15 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of molecular biology on medicine has been enormous. The techniques of gene sequencing, DNA amplification and cloning have enabled great advances in the diagnosis, treatment and understanding of a variety of diseases. The importance of these new advances is now so great that no doctor can afford to remain uninformed about their relevance to his own field. However, the complex nature of the subject has meant that it has remained relatively impenetrable to the non-specialist. Respiratory medicine is no exception and the editors have recognized the need for a comprehensive survey of the techniques and applications of molecular biology aimed at the respiratory physician with no detailed knowledge of the 'new biology.'
Download or read book Cancer of the Lung written by Alan Weitberg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001-10-04 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alan B. Weitberg, MD, and a panel of internationally recognized basic scientists and clinicians present a comprehensive discussion of lung cancer, including a practice-oriented review of its diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment. The contributors offer not only an understandable description of its molecular origins-an essential key to developing future therapies and preventive measures-but also rigorously discuss well-tested approaches, as well as those that are currently being evaluated for future use in both the laboratory and clinic. The book also elucidates the creation and effective deployment of treatment guidelines introduced by third party payers to improve clinical outcomes, even while lowering healthcare costs.

Download or read book How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease written by United States. Public Health Service. Office of the Surgeon General and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.
