Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The branch of enquiry which studies viruses at the molecular scale is called molecular virology. Viruses have a considerable level of biological diversity, and are able to parasitize and infect all kinds of life forms. On the basis of their replication strategy, viruses can be categorized into various classes such as single stranded DNA, double stranded DNA, single stranded RNA-positive sense and single stranded RNA-negative sense. Viruses can cause different types of infections in the hosts. A few such types of infections are acute infection, abortive infection, persistent infection and chronic infection. The study of the replication cycle of viruses is also undertaken within this field. This book contains some path-breaking studies in the field of molecular virology. It attempts to understand the multiple branches that fall under this discipline and how such concepts have clinical applications. Scientists and students actively engaged in this field will find this book full of crucial and unexplored concepts.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The use of plants for medicinal purposes refers to as medical herbalism. It includes the use of fungal products, bee products, animal products, shells, etc. It is generally used for the treatment of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, end-stage kidney disease, asthma, etc. A liquid or herbal tea is the most common form of medication formulated from herbs. They can be further classified into infusions, maceration and decoction. The alcoholic extraction of herbs is known as tinctures. Herbs can also be applied directly to the skin in the form of essential oils, balms and lotions. The inhalation of herbs for therapeutic purposes is known as aromatherapy. Pharmacognosy also falls under the domain of medical herbalism. It is concerned with the study of plants as a potential source of drugs. This book traces the progress of this field and highlights some of its key concepts and applications. The various advancements in medical herbalism are glanced at and their applications as well as ramifications are looked at in detail. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Diagnostic imaging is a process used to view the interior parts of the body for clinical analysis. It is also used to get a visual representation of the function of some tissues and organs. Diagnostic imaging reveals the internal structures of the body which are hidden by the skin and bones so that the diseases can be diagnosed and treated. Diagnostic imaging of the chest involves the usage of plain X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, nuclear scanning and ultrasonography. The non-invasive imaging of the heart by using ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging is known as cardiac imaging. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in the field of diagnostic imaging. Most of the topics introduced herein cover new techniques and the applications of diagnostic imaging of chest, breast, heart and vessels. Researchers and students in this field will be assisted by this book.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The process when a person donates an organ and allows it to be transplanted to another person legally, either by consent when the person is alive or by assent of a relative when the person is dead, is referred to as organ transplantation. Organs can be donated for either research or to be transplanted into another person. Common organ transplantations include heart, kidneys, intestines, pancreas, liver, bones, skin, lungs, bone marrow and corneas. Most donations occur after the death of the donor, while some donations, such as a part of liver, kidney or a part of pancreas, can be donated by living donors. This book studies, analyses and upholds the pillars of organ transplantation and its utmost significance in modern times. Also included herein is a detailed explanation of the various concepts and applications of organ donation and transplantation. Researchers and students in this field will be assisted by this book.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Leishmaniasis refers to a number of medical conditions which are caused by the Leishmania parasite. It is transferred to humans through sandflies belonging to the genus Phlebotomus. Leishmania is broadly classified into three types, cutaneous, mucocutaneous and visceral. Cutaneous leishmania causes skin ulcers while mucocutaneous leishmania causes ulcers in the mouth, nose and skin. Visceral leishmania begins with skin ulcers, which can then develop into fever and enlargement of the liver and spleen. It can be diagnosed in a hematology laboratory, through the direct visualization of the amastigotes. This disease can be prevented by spraying animal shelters and houses with insecticides. The topics covered in this book offer the readers new insights on the evaluation and management of leishmaniasis. Those with an interest in the study of these medical conditions would find it helpful. This book will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and post graduate students.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The mechanism through which a living organism replaces damaged or destroyed tissue is termed as wound healing. The two layers of the skin, the epidermis and the dermis, act as protection against the outside environment. When this barrier is broken, it triggers a series of biochemical reactions which can be broadly divided into four major phases, namely, blood clotting, inflammation, growth of tissue and tissue remodeling. There are numerous reasons due to which this process could be hampered. A few of them are diseases such as arterial or venous disease, and diabetes. Caring for wounds can assist increasing the rate of recovery by providing protection against reinjury or reinfection. This book includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to wound healing. It will also provide interesting topics for research which interested readers can take up. This book will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The cancer that develops in the breast tissues is termed as breast cancer. Its symptoms are a change in breast shape, a lump in the breast, fluid coming from the nipple, dimpling of the skin, a newly inverted nipple, and a scaly or red patch of the skin. Metastatic breast cancer may include swollen lymph nodes, bone pain and shortness of breath. Risk factors of breast cancer are obesity, alcoholism, lack of physical exercise, ionizing radiations, older age, hormone replacement therapy during menopause, and a family history of breast cancer, etc. It generally develops in the cells of the lining of milk ducts and the lobules supplying milk in these ducts. This book includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to breast cancer. The various studies that are constantly contributing towards advancing technologies to diagnose and manage breast cancer are examined in detail. This book is a resource guide for experts as well as students.
