Prognostic Factors in Cancer, Third Edition examines the prognostic factors associated with each cancer site and provides insight into potential treatments and therapies. The text is an extension of the International Union Against Cancer's (UICC) seminal work, the TNM Classification of Malignant Tumours, and integrates the current focus on prognostics in cancer. This Third Edition reflects the advances in cancer diagnosis and treatment planning made in recent years. The first part of the book offers a complete update on the science of cancer prognosis while the second part contains site-specific chapters that provide evidence-based guidelines for treatment. Each clinical chapter summarizes the significance of the great variety of tumour-related, patient-related, and environment-related factors that play a role in the prognosis of cancer, all backed with a grid for quick reference. Visit TNM Online at: www.mrw.interscience.wiley.com/tnm to find the complete text of the previous edition of Prognostic Factors in Cancer, as well as other supplemental material related to cancer staging and predictive indicators. Prognostic Factors in Cancer, Third Edition is an invaluable resource for all oncologists and cancer researchers. The title is also of interest for other professionals such as pathologists and epidemiologists.

"This volume inspires. It certainly will be much appreciated by cell biologists all over the world." Quarterly Review of Biology, March 2009 This book is the eagerly awaited second edition of the best-selling Mitochondria, a book widely acknowledged as the first modern, truly comprehensive authored work on the important, scientifically fundamental topic of the cellular organelles known as mitochondria. This new edition brings readers completely up to date on the many significant findings that have occurred in the eight years since the book was first published. As in that seminal first edition, the second edition tackles the biochemistry, genetics, and pathology of mitochondria in different organisms. The new edition provides thorough updates of all literature concerning this vital organelle, its functions, ongoing research surrounding it, and its importance vis-à-vis a broad range of issues in cellular and molecular biology. The book includes detailed descriptions of current and developing technologies around mitochondrial research and discovery, and highlights subjects that are growing, such as the use of proteomics. This book is an invaluable resource for all geneticists, biologists, and educators in life sciences. It is also of interest for advanced students in genetics and molecular biology.

"I would strongly recommend it for library purchase and the reading list of advanced students in this field." —Microbiology Today, May 2009 
Nearly a decade since its landmark publication, this book has been thoroughly revised in this valuable new edition Like the successful first edition, Microbial Ecology of the Oceans, Second Edition is unique and fills a void in the rapidly growing fields of marine microbiology, microbial ecology, and microbial oceanography. Here, a carefully selected team of international experts explores issues of enduring importance to microbial ecologists, including: <ul>
<li> Genomes and metagenomes of marine microbes 
</li> <li> Microbial evolution, as revealed by molecular techniques 
</li> <li> Microbes in carbon budgets and cycles 
</li> <li> Viruses and grazers of bacteria 
</li> <li> Microbes and N cycle reactions in sediments 
</li> <li> The role of microbes in food web dynamics 
</li> <li> Biogeochemical cycles in the ocean 
</li> </ul>
In addition to drawing on the long history of microbiology, the contributors also include discussions of the latest advances in biological and chemical oceanography to examine the role of microbes and viruses in the oceans. Richly illustrated with black-and-white photographs and drawings, and complemented with a comprehensive list of additional reading for each chapter, this important new edition provides readers with current information in the fields of marine microbiology and microbial ecology. It is designed for students and researchers in biological and chemical oceanography, geochemistry, marine chemistry, freshwater ecology, and general microbiology. It is also appropriate for professionals and advanced students in related fields.

This book collects the most effective and cutting-edge methods and protocols for deriving and culturing human embryonic and adult stem cells―in one handy resource. 
This groundbreaking book follows the tradition of previous books in the Culture of Specialized Cells Series―each methods and protocols chapter is laid out exactly like the next, with stepwise protocols, preceded by specific requirements for that protocol, and a concise discussion of methods illustrated by data. The editors describe a limited number of representative techniques across a wide spectrum of stem cells from embryonic, newborn, and adult tissue, yielding an all-encompassing and versatile guide to the field of stem cell biology and culture. The book includes a comprehensive list of suppliers for all equipment used in the protocols presented, with websites available in an appendix. Additionally, there is a chapter on quality control, and other chapters covering legal and ethical issues, cryopreservation, and feeder layer culture. This text is a one-stop resource for all researchers, clinical scientists, teachers, and students involved in this crucial area of study.

The Harvey Lectures: Series 100, 2004 - 2005

Part of the distinguished Harvey Lectures Series, this volume provides a topical overview of recent trends in the biomedical sciences. 
The Harvey Lectures reflect "the evolution of physiology and physiological chemistry into biochemistry and the development of molecular biology from the roots of bacteriology and biochemistry" in this century. This lecture series, published annually, provides "a series of distinguished lectures in the life sciences" by world-renowned scientists in all areas of biomedicine. These lectures occur in New York City throughout the course of each academic year. There are few lectures of such distinction delivered uninterruptedly over a period of more than 90 years in any other city in the world.

This focused book deals clearly and concisely with the principles of management of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). It emphasizes the published and verifiable evidence in support of these principles, and highlights the areas of limited evidence. Best evidence is provided for the current standard treatment of acute ischemic stroke, including intravenous chemical thrombolysis, intra-arterial approaches, blood pressure management, and anti-thrombotic therapy. More modern techniques are also described, such as the use of mechanical devices to evacuate a thrombus, induced hypertension, hyper-oxygenation (hyperoxia), and neuroprotective or neuroregeneration agents. Hallmark features include: 
<ul>
<li>Focused on acute ischemic stroke, the most rapidly growing area of stroke management</li> <li>Evidence based: Provides best evidence for treatment</li> <li>Clearly discusses areas and topics where best evidence has not yet been established</li> <li>Lays out treatment plans and protocols in handbook fashion for ease of use and reference, even in emergency situations</li> <li>Includes latest and cutting-edge techniques and equipment for dealing with AIS</li> </ul>
Acute Ischemic Stroke: An Evidence-based Approach is an indispensable reference work for neurologists, neurocritical care medics, intensivists, hospitalists, emergency room physicians, neurology residents and fellows. It is also a helpful resource for medical students, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners in hospital and neurocritical care facilities.

Cancer Vaccines and Tumor Immunity offers a review of the basic scientific discoveries that have moved forward into clinical trials. Presented in the context of real-world human research and experimentation, these major scientific advances demonstrate how our understanding of immune activation, T-regulatory cells, and autoimmunity will impact cancer vaccine design. The authors also explain how vaccination in the context of bone marrow transplantation will open new avenues for clinical study in the future.
