This text is a concise and clinical presentation of physiological processes that gives students the essentials in an understandable format. New to the Second Edition: USMLE-style questions; a case study with questions in each chapter; new topics such as adaptive physiology (weightlessness, high altitude, exercise) and clinical topics (pain, congestive heart failuretransport information; and clinical focus boxes added to each chapter.
Immunology at a Glance provides a concise and accessible introduction and revision aid for undergraduate medical and science students. Following the familiar, easy-to-use at a Glance format, each topic is presented as a double-page spread with key facts accompanied by clear, informative line diagrams illustrating the essential points.
Since the publication of the first edition of the Handbook of Human Immunology in 1997, major scientific achievements have elucidated our understanding of the complexities of the human immune system.
This second edition compiles the major breakthroughs of the past decade including dramatic increases in the number of recognized “clusters of differentiation” on the surface of leukocytes and associated cells, establishment of an entire new chemokine and chemokine receptor nomenclature system, and discovery of more than 30 “lymphokines.”
The text emphasizes clinically relevant immunological parameters, and clarifies the basic principles underlying immune system assays, as well as applications and interpretations of immune tests.
The fourth edition of General, Organic, and Biochemistry is designed to help undergraduate health-related majors and students of all other majors understand key concepts and appreciate the significant connections between chemistry, health, disease, and the treatment of disease.
This text strikes a balance between theoretical and practical chemistry, while emphasizing material that is unique to health-related studies.
This edition of Molecular Cell Biology represents the tremendous effort of the authors in presenting the concepts of many important cutting edges of molecular biology. Some references are from "1999" publication.
The size of the text is smaller than the previous edition because some of the sections are omitted. Most of them deal with the classical experiments that give rise to the modern concepts of particular topics that we know much about nowadays.
The figures drawn throughout the text are clear and beautiful. The explanations that link the text to the figures are easy to understand.
The questions at the end of each chapter are especially designed for students who wish to take MCAT exam.
