Inhoud
An annual death toll of 2 million, coupled with rising drug resistance, highlights the need for the development of new drugs, better diagnostics, and a tuberculosis (TB) vaccine. Addressing these key issues, A Color Atlas of Comparative Pathology of Pulmonary Tuberculosis introduces TB histopathology to the non-histopathologists, students, scientists, and doctors working, learning, and teaching in the field of TB. It contains 100 color photographs and illustrations that bring clarity to the information presented. The atlas takes the unusual approach of covering multiple species histopathology, arguably the first and quite possibly the only resource to do so. It provides a simple, annotated, and visual presentation of the comparative histopathology of TB in human and animal models. The editors have compiled information that helps TB scientists to distinguish between the features of all major animal models available and to use them with their strengths and limitations in mind. The book provides guidance for selecting the best animal model(s) to answer specific questions and to test the efficacy of drug candidates. Features * Provides a starting point for non-histopathologists to understand the histopathology of TB and how it relates to their research work * Reviews the basic features necessary to understand the functional and pathological changes that can occur in this organ * Summarizes new microbiological and histological observations in the Wistar rat TB model * Focuses on general aspects of drug discovery in addition to specific points relating to TB * Includes 100 color photographs and illustrations CONTENTS Drug Discovery for Neglected Diseases of the Developing World, P.

The authors explain the intricacies of the tuberculin bacterium, the host defenses, and the theories behind current treatment modalities. The atlas is designed as a concise resource for researchers working in the field and the laboratory to evaluate the pulmonary pathologic response to the Mycobacterium organism and design more successful treatment and disease eradication for human and animal species. The multitude of photomicrographs and gross pathology photographs are of excellent quality and well-labeled. The text is well written, organized in an easy to read format, and well-referenced for further research." —Sandra L. Jex, DVM, in alnmag.com

In welke staat is je boek?
Een belangrijke factor van een tweedehands boek is de staat van het boek. De koper mag niet voor verrassingen komen te staan. Vermeld steeds duidelijke beschadigingen of gebreken. We gebruiken een systeem met 3 sterren:
Het boek is acceptabel: je hebt het noest gebruikt om te leren en notities en markeringen aangebracht – maar alles is nog leesbaar. De kaft en pagina’s zijn in goede staat.
Het boek ziet er nog goed uit: er staan enkele notities in en je hebt er in gemarkeerd. Er zijn nauwelijks gebruikssporen aan de kaft en pagina’s.
Het boek is (zo goed als) nieuw: je hebt er niet in geschreven en niet gemarkeerd. Er zijn geen gebruikssporen aan de kaft en pagina’s.
