Cancer Risk Assessment: Chemical Carcinogenesis, Hazard Evaluation, and Risk Quantification

Cancer Risk Assessment 
Cancer Risk Assessment: Chemical Carcinogenesis, Hazard Evaluation, and Risk Quantification [Hardcover] - Ching-Hung Hsu (Editor), Todd Stedeford (Editor). With a weight-of-the-evidence approach, cancer risk assessment indentifies hazards, determines dose-response relationships, and assesses exposure to characterize the true risk. This book focuses on the quantitative methods for conducting chemical cancer risk assessments for solvents, metals, mixtures, and nanoparticles. It links these to the basic toxicology and biology of cancer, along with the impacts on regulatory guidelines and standards. By providing insightful perspective, Cancer Risk Assessment helps researchers develop a discriminate eye when it comes to interpreting data accurately and separating relevant information from erroneous. The book begins with an overview of cancer risk assessment, science policy, and the regulatory framework for industrial chemicals and biocides. Next, all the core concepts, skills, and methods needed to perform cancer risk assessments are covered in detail. Each chapter of this contributed work has been written by one or more leading international experts. Their contributions integrate a comprehensive review of the scientific literature with their own personal hands-on experience as well as their knowledge of current regulations and testing guidelines.

Classic Papers in Rheumatology - Paul Dieppe (Author), Frank A. Wollheim (Author), H. Ralph Schumacher (Author)

Classic Papers Rheumatology
Classic Papers in Rheumatology [Hardcover] Paul Dieppe (Author), Frank A. Wollheim (Author), H. Ralph Schumacher (Author).  Experts on the diagnosis and management of various conditions have chosen key papers and described and evaluated its strengths, weaknesses, and its contribution to the field. All papers have been previously published in journals. New ideas are vital to any science, but the importance of new discoveries cannot be appreciated without a strong sense of a discipline's framework, and the ideas that helped shape it. The editors of this book have therefore created a canon of texts that formed the basis of rheumatology. Experts have chosen what they believe are the key papers in their respective domains. Every paper is evaluated by its strengths, weaknesses, and contribution to the field. These papers defined new diseases or treatments, changed conventional thinking, or simply stood the test of time. Structured abstracts of information on newly published books, computer programs, selected Web sites, and other material are provided in this portion of Medical Writings. Not all items submitted by publishers are abstracted, but a listing of almost all material received can be found in the advertising pages of each issue. “Order phone” numbers can be used to place orders directly with publishers.

Cellular and Molecular Neurophysiology, Third Edition

Cellular and Molecular
Neurophysiolgy
Cellular and Molecular Neurophysiology, Third Edition (Hammond, Cellular and Molecular Neurophysiology) [Hardcover] - Constance Hammond (Author). This third edition is the new, thoroughly revised edition of the only current, established and authoritative text focusing on the cellular and molecular physiology of nerve cells. Previously titled Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology, the new title better reflects this focus. The book is hypothesis driven rather than just presenting the facts, and the content is firmly based on numerous experiments performed by the top experts in the field. While the book does cover the important facts, it also presents the background for how researchers arrived at this knowledge to provide a context for the field. It teaches not only how excitable cells work in detail, but also how to construct and conduct intelligent research experiments. This book promotes a real understanding of the function of nerve cells that is useful for practicing neurophysiologists and students in a graduate-level course on the topic alike. "In its third internationally acclaimed edition, this textbook provides an unrivaled account of the basic foundations of molecular and cellular neurophysiology.
