Explaining the fundamental scientific principles in clinical medicine, this book aims to provide students with a grounding in the basic sciences. It offers an account of basic cell physiology and biochemistry, and an investigation of the traditional piers of medicine integrated in the context of the major systems relevant to the human body.
This introductory manual presents the methods and concepts associated with this relatively new discipline, divided into brief, illustrated chapters that include practical examples as well as clear definitions of the biological, chemical and IT concepts.
Presents a review of the basic and clinical aspects of bacteriology, virology, mycology, parasitology, and immunology. This book emphasizes the real-world clinical application of microbiology and immunology to infectious diseases. It includes clinical cases, practice questions, and pearls for the USMLE.
The ubiquitin system plays an essential role in numerous cellular processes by controlling protein stability and function. An understanding of the mechanisms governing these processes is likely to allow the identification of novel targets for pharmacological intervention. This work covers the developments in this field.
Suitable for medical students taking medical biochemistry, this title links biochemical concepts to physiology and pathophysiology, using hypothetical patient vignettes to illustrate core concepts. It helps medical students understand the importance of the patient and bridges the gap between biochemistry, physiology, and clinical care.
Presents the anatomy and physiology core information organized around two central and unifying themes: the complementarity of normal structure and function of the human body and homeostasis. This work features a 4-color illustration program and centralized themes, as well as simplistic language, and provides a clear structure for student learning.
Metal ions are poorly known whereas they sometimes play a role more significant than vitamins. Moreover they control many diseases, such as the zinc salts in dermatology. This book contains the proceedings of 2nd International Symposium on Metal Ions in Biology and Medicine, Athens, May 1992.
