Product Description
Progress in biomedical science has called for an international discussion of the medical, ethical, and legal problems that confront physicians, medical researchers, infertile couples, pregnant women, and parents of premature or disabled infants. In addition, the unprecedented technological developments in obstetrical, perinatal, and neonatal medicine in recent years have indicated a need for an international forum for interdisciplinary dialogue regarding the definition of early human life, the neurological development of early human life, the value of early human life, the obligations for its protection and prolongation, and the limits to these obligations.

The Anatomy of the Peritonaeum

Product Description
In 2005, the National Academies released the report “Guidelines for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research”, which offered a common set of ethical standards for a field that, due to the absence of comprehensive federal funding, was lacking national standards for research. In order to keep the Guidelines up to date, given the rapid pace of scientific developments in the field of stem cell research, the Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research Advisory Committee was established in 2006 with support from the Ellison Medical Foundation, the Greenwall Foundation, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. This letter report is the committee’s first set of amendments to the Guidelines and clarifies earlier recommendations and conclusions, including the criteria for determining which stem cell lines it is acceptable to use. Future deliberations of the committee will address items for which additional information gathering and more extensive debate and discussion will be necessary.

A Study of the Sporangia and Gametophytes of Selaginella Apus and Selaginella Rupestris

Product Description
Stem cells are the building blocks of the body. They can develop into any of the cell types that make up our bodies. During development, they contribute to the formation of the tissues. In the adult, they contribute to homeostasis of the tissues and regeneration after injury. Stem cells carry a lot of hope for the treatment of a broad range of diseases and injuries, spanning from neurological diseases and injuries, like Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and spinal cord injuries, to diabetes, genetic diseases, graft-versus-host diseases, eye, heart and liver diseases, inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, and cancers. Stem cell research is therefore as important for our understanding of development, physio- and pathology of the body, as for therapy. “Stem Cells” aims at providing an overview and in depth analysis of recent developments in stem cell research and therapy. It is composed of recently published review articles that encompass the field of stem cell research and regenerative medicine. All the articles went through peer-review process.

Stem Cells

Product Description

The Wnt family of secreted signalling molecules controls a wide range of developmental processes in all metazoans. In this investigation, the authors have concentrated on the role that members of this family play during the development of the somites and the neural crest. Finally they have isolated a novel component of the Wnt signalling pathway called Naked Cuticle and investigated the role that this protein may play in both the previously mentioned processes.

The Problem of Development

Product Description
Protein is necessary during the development of all new cells. During pregnancy, a females need for protein increases significantly. This book reviews the biochemistry, physiology and clinical usefulness of placental proteins, specifically from the point of view of their ability to discriminate women at risk of preeclampsia. The relationship between protein consumption and the first phases of human embryo implantation are also studied. An analysis of the levels of plasma pregnancy-associated glycoprotein-1 (PAG-1) as a marker of foetal well-being is examined in this book, as well as a discussion of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) which encompasses a number of rare related tumours, and remains one of the most curable of all human cancers.

A Practical Approach Becoming a Health Care Professional

Product Description
Our knowledge about infertility has expanded and improved significantly in recent years and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is now recognised as a major cause. PCOS is a term which covers a variety of symptoms, and in this new volume the editors have compiled a wide ranging collection of studies dealing with diverse aspects of PCOS, including genetics, pathophysiology, cardiovascular effects, treatment required and long term consequences. Previous books on PCOS have been expensive high level, research oriented works. This new volume is different. All the chapters have been written with the student in mind. Obstetrics and gynaecology students need to know about PCOS and this book is an accessible comprehensive overview to the subject. Contents: 1. History and Origins of PCOS 2. Prevalence and Diagnosis 3. Genetics of PCOS 4. Pathophysioloogy of PCOS and its consequences 5. Impaired Glucose Metabolism and Insulin Resistance 6. Obesity 7. Hyperandrogenemia 8. Dyslipidemia 9. Risk of Cardiovascular Disease 10. Infertility 11. Therapy 12. Insulin-Sensitizing Drugs 13. Induction of Ovulation 14. Surgical Treatment 15. Pregnancy and PCOS 16. Long Term Consequences and Lifestyle Modifications
