Medical Selection of Life Risks  has long been recognised as  the  reference book on insurance medicine.  The fourth edition provides a comprehensive guide to life expectancy for underwriters and clinicians involved in the life insurance industry. Extensively revised and expanded the 4th edition of   Medical Selection of Life Risks  reflects developments in life and healthcare insurance as well as medicine.  There are completely new chapters: on the underwriting of genetic diseases, disability underwriting, impaired lives annuities, musculoskeletal and soft tissue disorders.  Several major chapters have been completely re-written, including respiratory, ischemic and congenital heart diseases and oncology.  Part I - deals with the principles of life and disability insurance and the logistics of life underwriting. Part II - is devoted to a systematic clinical appraisal of underwriting problems, mainly relating to life insurance but also, where appropriate, to disability, critical illness and long term care insurance.

Immunoassay is the technique by which proteins or protein-bound molecules may be measured, using the high affinity between antigens and their specific antibodies, and the principles and laboratory practice of this method are ths subject of this book. Immunoassay uses the antigen-antibody complexes which are isolated by a combination of methods which include filtration, centrifugation, specific absorption and electrophoresis. Each chapter of this book aims to explore the basic physical and chemical principles involved in the immunoassay techniques discussed. The book also looks at the optimization and limitations of methodology and concludes with a brief overview of the application of the performance of the technology. The book is aimed at analysts who have cause to use an immunassay method.

<p>This edition is an updated version of the first edition, plus many new sections on specific applications of nucleic acid probes. Due to the explosion of such applications, experts in each major area have described their specialty. As in the first edition, the emphasis is on the commercial uses of DNA probes, as in diagnostic applications, and it incorporates background material, advice and specific protocols. Many changes and advances have occurred in the past three years. Radioactive labelling of DNA with 32p has been widely replaced by detection with chemiluminescent labels. New target amplification procedures have been developed to rival PCR. The use of PCR has allowed DNA probes to become powerful tools in areas where they previously lacked necessary sensitivity. The first seven chapters cover the theory, synthesis, labelling and detection of nucleic acid probes, as well as sample preparation. The remaining nine chapters each cover a specific application where the use of nucleic acid probes have had an important impact. Areas covered include in situ analyses, cloning, retroviruses, genetics, cancer, bacteria, food, environmental testing and forensics.</p>

It is over 10 years since the publication of the first edition of this title and not surprisingly the developments in the use of enzymes in industry since the first edition have been considerable and significant so prompting this heavily updated new edition. Over 20 contributors have provided expert coverage on the application of enzymes across a very diverse number of industries: these range from baking, brewing, fruit juice, wine and starch processing to leather, effluent treatment, diagnostics and protein processing. There are also very valuable chapters on legislation, safe handling, toxicological aspects and kinetics. Information is also provided on the suppliers, product data, common industrial uses as well as assays and units.
