This book discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic is exacerbating racial inequalities in education, labor, and health and the steps needed to address these disparities.
La migraña es un tipo de dolor crónico que afecta a amplios sectores de la población y, al mismo tiempo, pone en cuestión los modos de reconocer y legitimar socialmente un malestar ya que carece de evidencias empíricas, de respuestas certeras desde los saberes biomédicos, y su diagnóstico emerge luego de realizar estudios que dan bien y de descartar algo grave.
This book makes an original contribution in addressing contemporary critical discussions and reflections on international health policies, strategies, programmes, systems, diseases, disasters, and public health issues.
This book reviews recent advances in the molecular and infection biology, pathology, and molecular epidemiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, as well as the identification and validation of novel molecular drug targets for the treatment of this mycobacterial disease.
This book represents a new and hopeful paradigm for treatment of diseases that are spreading globally as countries adopt Western lifestyles and standards of living.
This book will serve as the preeminent text book on the topic of 'base excision repair', a key DNA repair pathway that protects cells from most spontaneous forms of DNA damage, including oxidative lesions that arise both in the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes.
The monograph applies sophisticated topological symmetry tools to biological applications of information theory, along with a Black-Scholes model invocation of the Data Rate Theorem which links information and control theories.
The recent explosion of information in innate immune pathways for recognition, effect or responses, and genetic regulation has given impetus to investigations into analogous pathways in the human immune response, which in turn has produced attendant insights into both normal physiology and immunopathology.
Despite substantial evidence showing the feasibility of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) to identify cells with altered elastic and adhesive properties, the use of this technique as a complementary diagnostic method remains controversial.
This invaluable book provides an introduction to the development and application of molecular biology with a focus on translational research development in a variety of gastrointestinal cancers.
Genetics and Evolution of Infectious Diseases is at the crossroads between two major scientific fields of the 21st century: evolutionary biology and infectious diseases.
