Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Metal chelators are emerging as versatile tool with many medical applications. Their versatility allows them to be used in chelation therapy for treating diseases caused by toxic and heavy metal poisoning, chelating agents are capable of binding to toxic metal ions to form complex structures which are easily excreted from the body removing them from intracellular or extracellular spaces. In addition, metal chelators can also be applied as contrast agents in MRI scanning. Metal Chelation in Medicine provides a clear and timely perspective on the role of chelating agents in the management of metal intoxications and storage diseases. Written by leaders in the field of chelators, this publication is at the cutting-edge of the subject. It covers a broad range of topics such as the use of metal chelators in non-invasive assessment of brain iron overload, and the treatment of systemic iron overload and neurodegenerative diseases. As such it is particularly valuable to clinicians treating metal poisonings and metal storage diseases. However, it is also a useful text for researchers, industry professionals and university students with a specific interest in medicinal chemistry, chelation, metal ions, imaging and non-invasive techniques.…

Soft cover. Zustand: Good. Eleven (of 15) issues of the monthly in-house magazine for the RAF's flying boat base at Korangi Creek outside Karachi. Illustrated wraps (except n1 in self-wraps) 14x22cm, with some photos. Printed by New Diamond Press, Karachi. Issues include: 1 (Feb 1944, 32pp); 2 (Mar, 40pp); 3 (Apr, 40pp); 4 (May, 40pp); 6 (July, 40pp); 7 ("Special Birthday Number" Aug, 60pp); 8 (Sep, 40pp); 9 (Oct, 40pp); 10 (Nov, 40pp); 12 ("New Year Number" Jan 1945, 48pp); and 15 ("Farewell Number" Apr, 64pp). Good to very good with creasing, tanning and spotting, and long tear to front of n2. The station was founded in 1923 to provide facilities to arriving RAF and other personnel and handle cargo. It was a logistics base for the aircraft repair depot at Drigh Road, which involved receiving and transferring engines and spare parts, and receiving back serviced equipment which it would then transport to Bombay to support RAF units across the Raj. The Pakistan Air Force took it over in 1949. Although primarily for people on Camp, this magazine was censored for postage to the UK to share with people back home. Editorial staff changed frequently due to "havoc" caused by postings, with Flight Lieutenant Hider named as officer in charge in the final issue. Group Captain JCC Slater also features in a couple of supportive messages, with his portrait in n7, commemorating the birthday of the base itself. Contents include personal accounts, guest writers including the Indian manager of the Korangi YMCA who gives her experiences and views on local Anglo-Indian relations (n9), officer profiles, travel, film notes, sports, etc, with local adverts. The magazine consistently sold out, and it turned a profit which it reinvested in the Camp. It was forced to close due to a shortage of paper in the civilian market on which it relied, though this is questioned in the final editorial - "there seems to be an ample supply for the choice selection of pornographic literature which book wallahs apparently consider to be ideal reading for servicemen". …
