Since the discovery of chemokines and of chemokine receptors it has become evident that expression of chemokines at the site of inflammation may regulate the composition of cellular infiltrate, thereby directing the type of immune response.
Over the last decade, the advent of biologic agents has greatly revolutionized therapeutic medicine in the management of chronic inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, and psoriasis.
Recent research indicates that the immune system and inflammatory reactions are governed and regulated by powerful neuronal mediators derived from the central and peripheral nervous system.
Nimesulide is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which acts as a cyclooxygenase- 2 inhibitor but also has other novel pharmacological features which account for its effect in the control of pain and inflammation.
The rapid developments in immunology in recent immunomodulatory drugs can be distinguished years have dramatically expanded our knowledge of from their beneficial therapeutic effects.
Despite tremendous advances in the understanding of the sensory nervous system which have accompanied the recent explosive growth of the neurosciences, rema- ably few innovative medicines directed towards pain and inflammation are ava- able.
Although the potential for immunomodulation has been recognized for many years there has been an explosion of data in this field with relevance especially to the treatment of chronic airway diseases.

Das Buch gibt eine umfassende Darstellung zur Diagnose, präoperativen Staging und Vorbereitung, chirurgischen Behandlung, Zusatztherapie (Radio/Chemotherapie, Immuntherapie) sowie Nachsorge und Rehabilitation von Tumoren des Oesphago-Gastrointestinaltraktes, der Leber und der Bauchspeicheldrüse.
This book is a collection of critical reviews about a diverse group of virus families with two features in common: the stable repository of genetic information in each virus is RNA, and each virus modifies and appropriates a particular patch of the eukaryotic cell membrane system to complete its structure.
Scientists struggling with the pharmaco- and toxicodynamic interactions of drugs and chemicals will find this book a valuable reference to the relevant theoretical background of this complex field and an indispensible guide to practical, analytical procedures for evaluation of experimental data.
Scrapie, a naturally occurring neurodegenerative disease of sheep and sometimes goats, is a prototypic disease for the whole group of the subacute spongiform virus encephalopathies.
Der erste Band der neuen Reihe gibt einen weitgefächerten Überblick über die Probleme, Grenzen und Möglichkeiten, Tierversuche in der biomedizinischen Forschung zu reduzieren.
Findings concerning various clinical manifestations in cattle and sheep have made it clear that pestivirus infections in ruminants have an economic impact similar to hog cholera.
Many of the questions related to the treatment of drug addiction originate from the confusion that still characterizes this issue, even though biology is irreversibly changing our outlook on the physiology and psychopathology of the mind.
As President and organiser of the 26th Congress of the International Society pf Blood Transfusion 'ISBT 2000', I am pleased to introduce this work on the biochemistry of human blood groups, which will serve as a valuable complement to blood group serology work.
We organized the Seventh International Winter Conference on Neurodegeneration and Neuroinflammation in a small town of Karuizawa in Nagano Prefecture in Japan on January 20 to 22, 1999.
Die Zytologie von Lunge und Pleura ist eine morphologisch vielfältige und anspruchsvolle Untersuchungsmethode, die nur durch die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Klinikern, Radiologen, Labormedizinern und Zytologen eine präzise Diagnostik ermöglicht.
Die konnatale Zytomegalievirusinfektion (CMV) ist die häufigste intrauterin übertragene Virusinfektion, mit teilweise schwerwiegenden Folgen für das noch ungeborene Kind.
Progress in basic and clinical immunology within the last two decades has provided profound insight into the immune system and its role in preventing endogenous and exogenous damage.
