Pulmonary Immunotoxicology
Author: Mitchell D. Cohen
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9780792378433
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 492
Book Description
A reference for investigators in pulmonary toxicology and immunotoxicology and for people involved in administrating and regulating matters related to inhale materials, and serviceable as a textbook for a graduate or advanced undergraduate course in pulmonary immunotoxicology. US researchers from academic and industrial laboratories provide information concerning the effects of various inhaled materials on the immune system of the respiratory tract. They cover basic background concepts including the normal structure and function of the respiratory system and its basic immunology, the major types of pathological consequences that can arise from immunomodulation within the respiratory tract, the specific major classes of airborne agents that are known to alter immune function, and risk assessment.

Immunopharmacology
Author: Manzoor M. Khan
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0387779760
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
During the past decades, with the introduction of the recombinant DNA, hybridoma and transgenic technologies there has been an exponential evolution in understanding the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of a large number of human diseases. The technologies are evident with the development of cytokines and monoclonal antibodies as therapeutic agents and the techniques used in gene therapy. Immunopharmacology is that area of biomedical sciences where immunology, pharmacology and pathology overlap. It concerns the pharmacological approach to the immune response in physiological as well as pathological events. This goals and objectives of this textbook are to emphasize the developments in immunology and pharmacology as they relate to the modulation of immune response. The information includes the pharmacology of cytokines, monoclonal antibodies, mechanism of action of immune-suppressive agents and their relevance in tissue transplantation, therapeutic strategies for the treatment of AIDS and the techniques employed in gene therapy. The book is intended for health care professional students and graduate students in pharmacology and immunology.

Particles and Nanoparticles in Pharmaceutical Products
Author: Henk G. Merkus
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319941747
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 455
Book Description
This edited volume brings together the expertise of numerous specialists on the topic of particles – their physical, chemical, pharmacological and toxicological characteristics – when they are a component of pharmaceutical products and formulations. The book discusses in detail properties such as the composition, size, shape, surface properties and porosity of particles with respect to how they impact the formulations and products in which they are used and the effective delivery of pharmaceutical active ingredients. It considers all dosage forms of pharmaceuticals involving particles, from powders to tablets, creams to ointments, and solutions to dry-powder inhalers, also including the latest nanomedicine products. Further, it discusses examples of particle toxicity, as well as the important subject of pharmaceutical industry regulations, guidelines and legislation. The book is of interest to researchers and practitioners who work on testing and developing pharmaceutical dosage and delivery systems.

Model Organisms for Microbial Pathogenesis, Biofilm Formation and Antimicrobial Drug Discovery
Author: Busi Siddhardha
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9811516952
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 685
Book Description
This book provides essential insights into microbial pathogenesis, host-pathogen interactions, and the anti-microbial drug resistance of various human pathogens on the basis of various model organisms. The initial sections of the book introduce readers to the mechanisms of microbial pathogenesis, host-pathogen interactions, anti-microbial drug resistance, and the dynamics of biofilm formation. Due to the emergence of various microbial resistant strains, it is especially important to understand the prognosis for microbial infections, disease progression profiles, and mechanisms of resistance to antibiotic therapy in order to develop novel therapeutic strategies. In turn, the second part of the book presents a comparative analysis of various animal models to help readers understand microbial pathogenesis, host-pathogen interactions, anti-microbial drug discovery, anti-biofilm therapeutics, and treatment regimes. Given its scope, the book represents a valuable asset for microbiologists, biotechnologists, medical professionals, drug development researchers, and pharmacologists alike.
