Cardiovascular Genomics: New Pathophysiological Concepts: Proceedings of the 2001 European Science Foundation Workshop in Maastricht
ISBN: 9781461353478 / Angielski / Miękka / 275 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Four years ago-in December 1997-the first European Science Foundation Workshop on Cardiovascular Specific Gene Expression was held in Maastricht. It was hardly possible to imagine the progress in the field in those four years. In 1997, gene expression was still an art focused on individual genes; in 200 I, many labs have access to micro-array facilities to determine the expression of thousands of genes simultaneously. In 1997, gene expression was an area of fundamental research in basis molecular biology laboratories; in 200 I, clinical cardiovascular research has incorporated gene expression...

Collateral Circulation: Heart, Brain, Kidney, Limbs
ISBN: 9781461363514 / Angielski / Miękka / 406 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Collateral blood vessels develop by growth of pre or newly formed structures in almost all vascular provinces as a consequence of progressing stenosis of the main artery. These alternative routes of blood supply are potentially able to alter the course of vascular disease. Collateral development is a time consuming process, and arterial stenosis and occlusion often progress faster than growth of the alternative routes.
The authors' ultimate goal is to provide a better understanding of collateral growth in order to pave the way for improving the conditions for these potentially...

Pain can result either from noxious events due to lesions, injuries, diseases, etc., or from disturbances in the system transducing, transforming, and processing the potential pain signal or from an interaction of both. Under certain pathological...

Potassium Channels in Cardiovascular Biology
ISBN: 9781461354871 / Angielski / Miękka / 899 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Potassium channels (K+) are membrane-spanning proteins which serve many important functions and are becoming a hot topic in physiology. K+ channels determine or modulate many functions of vascular smooth muscle, endothelial and inflammatory cells, and thus are central to regulation of arterial tone and control of cell proliferation. They are also promising targets for antihypertensive treatments with drugs which open and close specific types of K+ channels, making for an active field of research. With their ability to control vascular tone, voltage-gated...

Handbook of Pathology and Pathophysiology of Cardiovascular Disease
ISBN: 9781475783681 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Autopsy derives from the greek word autopsia, which means act of seeing with one's own eyes. It remains the most objective and accurate method to understand human. disease. Unfortunately, the volume of autopsies in teaching hospitals has decreased dramatically over the past years. The crucial factors that account for this are the recent progress and development of new technologies, especially in diagnostic imaging, immunology, cell biology and genetics. Additionally, the perpetual fear of legal liability by physicians accounts for its further decline. Consequently, physicians and medical...

Biochemistry of the Eye
ISBN: 9781475794434 / Angielski / Miękka / 476 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. My first introduction to the eye came more than three decades ago when my close friend and mentor, the late Professor Isaac C. Michaelson, convinced me that studying the biochemistry of ocular tissues would be a rewarding pursuit. I hastened to explain that I knew nothing about the subject, since relatively few basic biochemical studies on ocular tissues had appeared in the world literature. Professor Michaelson assured me, however, that two books on eye biochemistry had already been written. One of them, a beautiful monograph by Arlington Krause ( 1934) of Johns Hopkins Hospital, is we II...

The Role of Oxidative Stress in Neuronal Death
ISBN: 9783662225189 / Angielski / Miękka / 203 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. xidative stress refers to the cytotoxic consequences of reactive oxy- O gen species (ROS) which are generated as by-products of normal or aberrant metabolic processes that utilize molecular oxygen, or changes in protection systems. Thus, generation of ROS is a part of normal life and their interaction with host defense systems appears to exert a sig- nificant influence on the normal and abnormal functioning of the cen- tral nervous system. Oxidative stress could also be a secondary conse- quence of defects in energy metabolism involving mitochondria. A subbtle shift toward the prooxidant...

Reviews of Physiology, Biochemistry and Pharmacology
ISBN: 9783662310502 / Angielski / Miękka / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Protein transport events occurring at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of eukaryotic cells and the cytoplasmic membrane of prokaryotic organisms share many similarities. Resident proteins of both membranes span the lipid bilayer once or several times by a-helical stretches and their integration is usually mediated by uncleaved signal-anchor sequences. Proteins that are translocated across either membrane, collectively also termed secretory proteins, harbour cleavable N-terminal signal sequences. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic signal sequences have the same modular structure and are functionally...

Cerebral Ischemia: Molecular and Cellular Pathophysiology
ISBN: 9781475747355 / Angielski / Miękka / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The human brain represents about 2% of the body weight, yet it accounts for approximately 20% of aerobic metabolism. This high dependency on energy-consuming processes is mainly caused by the active transport of ions, which is necessary to compensate for the transmembrane ion currents that are part ofthe complex signaling processes in the brain. Ninety-five percent ofthe brain's ATP is derived from mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Since that organ' s storage capacity for oxygen is minimal, any interruption of oxygen delivery to brain cells willlead to changes in membrane excitability...
