Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immunology is a branch of biology concerned with the study of immune systems. Immunological studies have applications in the fields of oncology, organ transplantation, rheumatology, dermatology, etc. The disorders of the immune system can result in immunodeficiency diseases and autoimmune diseases. Immunodeficiency diseases are caused when the immune system fails to provide the adequate immune response. When the immune system attacks its own host's body, it leads to autoimmune diseases, some of which include rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Hashimoto's disease, etc. The gradual accumulation of psychological, physical and social changes in a human being over time constitutes the process of aging. A less efficient immune function is a characteristic of old age. As the immune system weakens progressively with age, the organism becomes unable to fight infections and increasingly incapable of destroying old and neoplastic cells. This eventually leads to death. This book contains some path-breaking studies in immunology and aging. It unfolds the innovative aspects of the relationship between immunology and aging, which will be crucial for the understanding of these areas. The readers would gain knowledge that would broaden their perspective about these fields.
Download or read book Immunology of Aging written by Ahmad Massoud and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-29 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapidity of scientific progress over the last few years guarantees the utility of this new collection of state-of-the-art reviews on the immunology of aging, which is the result of extensive collaboration of more than sixty of the greatest thinkers and scholars in the field, in cooperation with a number of junior colleagues. The book summarizes current knowledge on the cellular and molecular aspects of the aging immune system and their clinical relevance, providing insights into the effects of the aging process on susceptibilities to those diseases most common among elders. The retrieval strategies used to slow down the decline in the immune system in the elderly are another subject detailed extensively. By providing a broad overview of immunosenescence and its consequences, as well as their potential modulation, this book will fill a gap in a timely manner. It will be of value to all immunologists, whether novice or experienced, as well as geriatricians and epidemiologists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook of The Biology of Aging, Third Edition provides a general overview to a wide scientific audience of some of the most important topics in biomedical gerontology. The book discusses methodologies for biological aging studies and on animal models. Protein modifications with aging, special senses, circadian rhythms, and the adrenocortical axis are tacked in the book as well. Gerontologists, psychologists, health care professionals, and graduate students will find the book useful.
Download or read book Handbook of Human Stress and Immunity written by Ronald Glaser and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-06-28 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1964, George Solomon coined the term psychoneuroimmunology. In the intervening 30 years, this term has emerged into a dynamic field of study which investigates the unique interactions between the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems. The Handbook of Human Stress and Immunity is a comprehensive reference for this dynamic new field. Focusing on how stressors impact the central nervous system and the resulting changes in immune responses, the Handbook is the first to describehow stress specifically affects human immune systems. It discusses how stress generally makes people more susceptible to infection, how personal support systems can counteract the physiological effects of stress, and how stress, or lack of stress, affects the aging process. Chapters are authored by the leading names in the field and cover such diseases as autoimmune disease, viral pathogenesis, herpes, HIV, and AIDS.

Book excerpt: ZImmunosenescencey is an imprecise term used to describe deleterious age-associated changes to immune parameters observed in all mammals studied so far. It represents a rapidly progressing science in the aging field, with a vertiginous volume of new data, knowledge and concepts concerning these changes. Indeed, during the almost 10 years that have passed since the first edition of this Handbook, a wealth of additional information has emerged from animal models and also from increasingly available human data. Numerous new aspects of the immune changes with aging have emerged, while others became less prominent. The application of the new multi-zomicsy techniques in immunology have revolutionized our molecular understanding of basic immune mechanisms. The extended and revisited concept of Inflamm-aging sheds a new light on the intricate relationships among immunosenescence and inflamm-aging. The new concept of inflamm-aging integrates different emerging experimental data such as those pertaining to the senescence-associated secretory phenotype and responses to damage. zGerosciencey is emphasising the role of immune changes during life in all manner of age-related chronic diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. The field is poised to be in a position to translate these accumulated data into the clinical setting via a better understanding of the contribution of immunosenescence to age-associated pathologies, and their prevention by appropriate interventions. This new edition of the Handbook seeks to encompass the current state of our knowledge on the multitude of those changes to immunity related to aging, with contributions from experts in both basic research and clinical areas. This book therefore considers methods and models for studying immunosenescence; cellular immunosenescence of T cells, B cells, neutrophils, antigen presenting cells, NK, NKT and stem cells; genetics; mechanisms including receptors and signal transduction; mitochondria; proteasome; cytokines; neuro-endocrine-immune networks; inflammation; thymus; clinical relevance in disease states including infections, autoimmunity, cancer, metabolic syndrome, neurodegenerative diseases, frailty and osteoporosis; modulation by nutrition, microbiome, lipids, vaccination and the burning question zcan interventions to influence immunosenescence be realistically proposed based on our current state of knowledge?y.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognition and understanding of the special nutrition problems of the aged is changing along with the growing number of the elderly in the general population. In the eight years since the first edition of the Handbook of Nutrition in the Aged was originally published, both economic changes and health issues have contributed to the decreasing nutritional intake among the aged. New treatments such hyperalimenation and renutrition are now accepted as ways to restore and maintain optimum immune functions. Intended for gerentologists, nutritionists, dieticians and assisted living professionals, the third edition of Handbook of Nutrition in the Aged reviews some of the major nutritional problems occurring with significant frequency in elderly adults. Other topics discussed include the effects of the aging process, changes in social status, and financial conditions that significantly affect the approaches to treatment and study of nutritional and health problems of the aged.
