Download or read book Structural Virology written by Mavis Agbandje-McKenna and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2010-11-11 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last ten years, much effort has been devoted to improving the biophysical techniques used in the study of viruses. This has resulted in the visualization of these large macromolecular assemblages at atomic level, thus providing the platform for functional interpretation and therapeutic design. Structural Virology covers a wide range of topics and is split into three sections. The first discusses the vast biophysical methodologies used in structural virology, including sample production and purification, confocal microscopy, mass spectrometry, negative-stain and cryo-electron microscopy, X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The second discusses the role of virus capsid protein structures in determining the functional roles required for receptor recognition, cellular entry, capsid assembly, genome packaging and mechanisms of host immune system evasion. The last section discusses therapeutic strategies based on virus protein structures, including the design of antiviral drugs and the development of viral capsids as vehicles for foreign gene delivery. Each topic covered will begin with a review of the current literature followed by a more detailed discussion of experimental procedures, a step in the viral life cycle, or strategies for therapeutic development. With contributions from experts in the field of structural biology and virology this exceptional monograph will appeal to biomedical scientists involved in basic and /or applied research on viruses. It also provides up-to-date reference material for students entering the field of structural virology as well as scientists already familiar with the area.

Download or read book The Health Effects of Cannabis and Cannabinoids written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significant changes have taken place in the policy landscape surrounding cannabis legalization, production, and use. During the past 20 years, 25 states and the District of Columbia have legalized cannabis and/or cannabidiol (a component of cannabis) for medical conditions or retail sales at the state level and 4 states have legalized both the medical and recreational use of cannabis. These landmark changes in policy have impacted cannabis use patterns and perceived levels of risk. However, despite this changing landscape, evidence regarding the short- and long-term health effects of cannabis use remains elusive. While a myriad of studies have examined cannabis use in all its various forms, often these research conclusions are not appropriately synthesized, translated for, or communicated to policy makers, health care providers, state health officials, or other stakeholders who have been charged with influencing and enacting policies, procedures, and laws related to cannabis use. Unlike other controlled substances such as alcohol or tobacco, no accepted standards for safe use or appropriate dose are available to help guide individuals as they make choices regarding the issues of if, when, where, and how to use cannabis safely and, in regard to therapeutic uses, effectively. Shifting public sentiment, conflicting and impeded scientific research, and legislative battles have fueled the debate about what, if any, harms or benefits can be attributed to the use of cannabis or its derivatives, and this lack of aggregated knowledge has broad public health implications. The Health Effects of Cannabis and Cannabinoids provides a comprehensive review of scientific evidence related to the health effects and potential therapeutic benefits of cannabis. This report provides a research agendaâ€"outlining gaps in current knowledge and opportunities for providing additional insight into these issuesâ€"that summarizes and prioritizes pressing research needs.
Download or read book Global Health Law written by Lawrence O. Gostin and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-31 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The international community has made great progress in improving global health. But staggering health inequalities between rich and poor still remain, raising fundamental questions of social justice. In a book that systematically defines the burgeoning field of global health law, Lawrence Gostin drives home the need for effective global governance for health and offers a blueprint for reform, based on the principle that the opportunity to live a healthy life is a basic human right. Gostin shows how critical it is for institutions and international agreements to focus not only on illness but also on the essential conditions that enable people to stay healthy throughout their lifespan: nutrition, clean water, mosquito control, and tobacco reduction. Policies that shape agriculture, trade, and the environment have long-term impacts on health, and Gostin proposes major reforms of global health institutions and governments to ensure better coordination, more transparency, and accountability. He illustrates the power of global health law with case studies on AIDS, influenza, tobacco, and health worker migration. Today's pressing health needs worldwide are a problem not only for the medical profession but also for all concerned citizens. Designed with the beginning student, advanced researcher, and informed public in mind, Global Health Law will be a foundational resource for teaching, advocacy, and public discourse in global health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DELTA & OMICRON VARIANTS...knowledge and precautions for you and your family. By Dr. Sarah Alexis At the present time, researchers imagine that omicron is probably going to be basically pretty much as infectious as delta and that the degree of infectiousness will strain medical services frameworks whenever left unchecked. But on the other hand, they're sure immunizations will keep on being defensive against serious sickness, and similar general wellbeing estimates we've been utilizing to check COVID-19 the most recent two years will likewise be powerful against omicron. As indicated by Dec. 6 information from the CDC, 75.6% of Americans ages 5 and more seasoned have gotten something like one COVID-19 shot. Delta keeps on being predominant with more than close to 100% of COVID-19 cases in the US - - a current normal of around 103,800 cases each day and 1,100 passings each day, Walensky. As researchers work to reveal omicron, this is the way the two variants think about the present moment. Is omicron more terrible than delta (or the other way around)? It's too soon to tell without a doubt, however, early signals of the seriousness of omicron are "empowering," Dr. Anthony Fauci, Biden's main medical consultant, told CNN - - that is, there aren't security flags right now that show omicron prompts more serious COVID-19. As far as how infectious the two variants are: "Unmistakably, in South Africa, omicron has a transmission advantage," Fauci said, taking note of that we should be "cautious" about reaching an excessive number of determinations before there's more information, which may a long time. At the press preparation 30th November,2021, Fauci again focused on that information accessible now from South Africa proposes that omicron has a "serious level of contagiousness," yet that researchers need more opportunity to decide precisely how irresistible it is contrasted with different variations, and regardless of whether it causes less or more extreme disease contrasted with different variations. Information on COVID-19 hospitalizations in South Africa is empowering, yet in addition uncertain in light of the reality many individuals being impacted by omicron are more youthful people, Fauci said. Omicron has some comparative changes in its spike protein to the delta variants, as per the Republic of South Africa's Department of Health, just as the alpha, gamma, and beta variants - - all named variants of worry by the WHO. This implies omicron will likewise be entirely contagious, possibly empowering the virus to all the more effectively get around somebody's antibodies, bringing down the immunization's viability against indicative illness (as in the delta variants case, researchers anticipate that the vaccines should stay defensive against serious COVID-19). Researchers from South Africa likewise accept omicron might prompt more instances of virus in individuals who've as of now had COVID-19. Omicron has a larger number of transformations on its spike protein than the delta variants does, however regardless of whether that implies anything is not yet clear.
