Product Description
The rapidly growing interest in cation transport phenomena has captured the attention of chemists, biologists and medical scientists. Amiloride and certain of its analogs possess unique Na+-channel, Na+/H+-antiport, Na+/Ca2+-exchange and/or voltage-dependent Ca+-channel inhibitory activity. This book reviews the extensive literature on the subject, puts the concepts in perspective, reveals the applications, and regards the future of cation regulating agents in biological sciences and medicine.

Amiloride and Its Analogs: Unique Cation Transport Inhibitors

Product Description

The field of pediatric bone and soft tissue sarcomas has experienced a gradual but surprising transformation. Fundamental discoveries in the molecular biology of disease, recent breakthroughs in diagnostic imaging, and revolutionary surgical techniques have created unprecedented synergies and a refreshing vision with which to approach the diagnosis and treatment of these pediatric tumors.

This book highlights the paths leading to the emergence of such a new vision and presents salient concepts in epidemiology, novel tools in imaging and molecular biology, and principles of drug development as the scaffold to understanding the pathophysiology and treatment of pediatric sarcomas. The book is aimed at providing an up-to-date comprehensive reference text which articulates a multidisciplinary approach for the diagnosis and treatment of each of these often challenging diseases.

Breast Imaging: A Correlative Atlas

Product Description
Ten hours after the strike on Pearl Harbor, Japanese planes bomb Clark Field north of Manila in the Philippines. December 10, they return for a massive daylight raid on the strategic naval base at Cavite. December 12, Japanese troops land at Legaspi. Manila falls January 2, 1942. The early chapters of this bittersweet tale are laced with notations from the war diary of teenager Jeanette West as she and her parents face thirty-seven months of constant fear and slow starvation in Santo Tomas prison camp in the heart of the captured city. Part II tracks the impact of that experience on Jeanette’s adulthood after she returns home to the United States in 1945. Part III builds a causal relationship between those three lost years of her youth and the fourteen-year siege of breast cancer that takes her life in 1993. This book provides an unusual look at the subtle, sometimes subliminal impact of untreated, prolonged traumatic stress over half a century. Most accounts of this disorder cover a far shorter time frame. A meticulous journal keeper, many of the telling quotations cited in Parts II and III are from handwritten journals that surfaced after her death.

3D Conformal Radiation Therapy: Multimedia Introduction to Methods and Techniques

Product Description

In this monograph the authors have emphasized a number of important concepts in mammalian kidney development. Emphasis has been put on methodology so that the reader can understand how certain results or conclusions were reached and what the optimal methods for reliable results to be obtained are. In addition, as well as descriptions of the morphology there is information on the genetic basis of the structural development. In addition much attention has been paid to how nephron number may be altered by changes in the environment of the developing kidney and to the consequences for the remaining nephron gene expression and kidney function when total nephron number is altered. The consequences for the health of the adult, upon the formation of an adult kidney with altered nephron number and (potentially) gene expression, can be quite serious. The epigenetic mechanisms by which such changes can occur are introduced as a very fertile field for future investigation.
