Diseases of Blood and Skin: A Dermatologic Correlation of Hematologic Disorders
by Robert Gniadecki Minakshi Taparia Jean Deschenes Jori Hardin Etienne MaheDiseases of the hematopoietic system often manifest themselves in the skin, and some manifestations are so typical that the dermatologist may be the first physician to detect the underlying blood disorder. More commonly, however, skin symptoms arise in the context of a known hematopoietic disease. This book reviews skin signs and symptoms that develop secondarily to underlying malignant or benign diseases of the hematopoietic system, and mainly built as a clinical text to support the physician in making a correct diagnosis and understanding the significance of skin signs for the prognosis and management of the hematological disease. The malignant hematological diseases comprise approximately 80% of the book, which reflects the spectrum of patients in hematology departments, as well as the experience of the authors. In addition to its pragmatic structure that enables the reader to find relevant information, tables are included for differential diagnoses and cross-referencing the skin sign with hematological diagnoses and vice versa. For each chapter, ample background information is provided to convey dermatologists the essence of hematological disorders. Likewise, to enhance understanding among hematologists, dermatological jargon is avoided and skin signs described in understandable terms, underscoring the patterns of the lesions and key features allowing the non-dermatologist clinician to differentiate one skin condition from another.This book is primarily for the physicians who see adult patients; to achieve consistency and readability, the work is meant as a monograph written by specialists in the field, who collaborate with one another on a daily basis. While not aiming to be an exhaustive reference work, it is built as an intelligible handbook that for the first time covers the cross-section of dermatology and hematology. The audience comprises dermatologists working in an academic or hospital setting, as well as hematologists and internists who manage patients with blood diseases in their daily clinical practice.
Diseases of Coral
by Craig A. Downs Cheryl M. Woodley Andrew W. Bruckner Sylvia B. Galloway James W. PorterCoral disease is quickly becoming a crisis to the health and management of the world's coral reefs. There is a great interest from many in preserving coral reefs. Unfortunately, the field of epizootiology is disorganized and lacks a standard vocabulary, methods, and diagnostic techniques, and tropical marine scientists are poorly trained in wildlife pathology, veterinary medicine, and epidemiology. Diseases of Coral will help to rectify this situation.

Diseases of Globalization: Socioeconomic Transition and Health
by Roy Smith Christine McMurrayThe emergence of a global economy has led to the erosion of local autonomy and national sovereignty with an associated emphasis on the spread of liberal, free-market economics. A clear divide is appearing between those benefiting from and those disadvantaged by this process. Among the most important consequences are changes in the patterns of health and the prevalence of disease. While infant mortality is declining in most countries, and many formerly prevalent diseases are being successfully tackled, the move from subsistence to cash economies brings with it changes in diet, alcohol consumption and high levels of smoking; with the result that non-communicable, 'lifestyle illnesses' such as heart disease and diabetes are spreading rapidly. Similarly, growing divisions of wealth add to the problem, bringing diseases relating to poverty and malnourishment as well as those caused by affluence and over-consumption. Issues covered in this book include equitable and sustainable modernization, the determinants of health, the process of marginalization, and survival strategies on the periphery. The authors draw on primary case study material, largely from societies in the Pacific region undergoing modernization, to provide invaluable information for tracking and assessing the full impacts of these changes.

Diseases of the Breast during Pregnancy and Lactation (Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology #1252)
by Sadaf Alipour Ramesh OmranipourSymptoms of the breast in gravid women commonly represent physiological changes, however they may also be related to serious underlying breast disease; this challenging dilemma is aggravated by diagnostic and therapeutic limitations imposed by safety issues regarding the mother and fetus. A comprehensive coverage of all aspects of normal and pathologic breast changes during pregnancy and lactation, their diagnosis and management is provided in the present work. The organized structure of this book begins with gestational changes of the breast, while discussing safety, hazards, and arguments regarding diagnostic approaches. It then goes on by describing various clinical presentations and common and uncommon benign disorders during gravidity. The book then addresses pre-malignant lesions of the breast, opening the dialogue on how to manage these confusing lesions in pregnant and nursing women. It continues toward pregnancy-associated breast cancer, focusing on every facet of the problem, including epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment and complications, anesthetic considerations, prenatal care, and rare malignancies; and comes to an end by arguing main psychological concerns. In the midst of this orderly sequence fertility issues, pregnancy, and breastfeeding in women who have overcome their breast cancer are also discussed. This unique reference has been written by academic experts from different centers and diverse disciplines in a practical format. It is intended to be an ideal resource for every practitioner and specialist who manages complaints of gravid and nursing women or treats breast disorders in women of child bearing age.
Diseases of the Cardiac Pump
by Marc ThirietTogether, the volumes in this series present all of the data needed at various length scales for a multidisciplinary approach to modeling and simulation of flows in the cardiovascular and ventilatory systems, especially multiscale modeling and coupled simulations. The cardiovascular and respiratory systems are tightly coupled, as their primary function is to supply oxygen to and remove carbon dioxide from the body's cells. Because physiological conduits have deformable and reactive walls, macroscopic flow behavior and prediction must be coupled to nano- and microscopic events in a corrector scheme of regulated mechanism. Therefore, investigation of flows of blood and air in anatomical conduits requires an understanding of the biology, chemistry, and physics of these systems together with the mathematical tools to describe their functioning in quantitative terms. The present volume focuses on macroscopic aspects of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems in pathological conditions, i. e. , diseases of the cardiac pump, blood vessels, and airways, as well as their treatments. Only diseases that have a mechanical origin or are associated with mechanical disorders are covered. Local flow disturbances can trigger pathophysiological processes or, conversely, result from diseases of conduit walls or their environment. The ability to model these phenomena is essential to the development and manufacturing of medical devices, which incorporate a stage of numerical tests in addition to experimental procedures.
