Book Description
Man has moved rapidly from the hunter-gatherer environment to the living conditions of industrialised countries. The hygiene hypothesis suggests that the resulting reduced exposure to micro-organisms has led to disordered regulation of the immune system, and hence to increases in certain chronic inflammatory disorders, like allergic disorders, autoimmunity, inflammatory bowel disease, atherosclerosis, depression, some cancers and perhaps Alzheimer and Parkinson. This book discusses the evidence for and against in the context of Darwinian medicine, which uses knowledge of evolution to cast light on human diseases. The approach is interdisciplinary, looking at man’s microbiological history, at the biology of the effects of microorganisms on the immune system, and at the implications for chronic inflammatory disorders in multiple organ systems. Finally, the authors describe progress in the exploitation of microorganisms or their components as novel prophylactics and treatments.

Book Description
This issue of Immunology and Allergy Clinics provides the latest essential updates in angioedema. This potentially life-threatening condition, as is the case with laryngeal angioedema, is a rare but important disease. Leading physicians review the spectrum of angioedema to provide a framework for approaching the management of these patients. Differential diagnosis is discussed in depth, as a variety of other conditions can mimic some aspects of angioedema. Angioedema occurs both in conjunction with or separately from the more common swelling disorder, urticaria. Various types of angioedema that classically occur in the absence of urticaria are discussed. Multiple types of hereditary angioedema, idiopathic recurring angioedema, and Gleich’s Syndrome are covered.

Book Description
Urticaria, or hives, is a skin rash characterized by red, raised bumps which are usually itchy and create a burning sensation. Urticaria can be caused by allergic and non-allergic reactions. For patients with chronic hives, this condition is usually the result of an autoimmune disorder. This issue will cover the latest diagnosis and treatment strategies for this condition at the point of care, across several patient types, such as children and pregnant women.
