The Neurologic Involvement in Systemic Autoimmune Diseases, Volume 3 (Hardcover): Ronald Asherson The Neurologic Involvement in Systemic Autoimmune Diseases, Volume 3 (Hardcover)
Ronald Asherson; Volume editing by Doruk Erkan, Steven R. Levine
R4,520 Discovery Miles 45 200 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Systemic autoimmune diseases can affect both the central and peripheral nervous systems in a myriad of ways and through a heterogeneous number of mechanisms leading to many different clinical manifestations. As a result, neurological complications of these disorders can result in significant morbidity and mortality. Advances in the diagnosis, laboratory investigations, and management of these conditions has placed an increasing burden on the practicing clinician to correctly assess and treat these patients.
This volume of the Handbook of the Systemic Autoimmune Diseases will help the clinician and researcher better understand the current concepts of nervous system involvement from systemic autoimmune disorders, recognize current approaches to diagnosis and treatment, current controversies, and areas that need significant research efforts. It is believed that providing this approach in a single volume will facilitate its use as a frequent resource for all those caring for or investigating these patients and their diseases.
Each chapter follows a consistent outline to provide the reader with important and useful information in an easy-to-navigate manner and is also liberally referenced to provide more primary source material for further consideration. The standardized approach to each chapter will allow the reader to be able to compare and contrast more efficiently the neurological complications of the autoimmune diseases discussed.

Food Allergy Advocacy - Parenting and the Politics of Care (Hardcover): Danya Glabau Food Allergy Advocacy - Parenting and the Politics of Care (Hardcover)

A detailed exploration of parents' fight for a safe environment for their kids, interrogating how race, class, and gender shape health advocacy The success of food allergy activism in highlighting the dangers of foodborne allergens shows how illness communities can effectively advocate for the needs of their members. In Food Allergy Advocacy, Danya Glabau follows parents and activists as they fight for allergen-free environments, accurate labeling, the fair application of disability law, and access to life-saving medications for food-allergic children in the United States. At the same time, she shows how this activism also reproduces the culturally dominant politics of personhood and responsibility, based on an idealized version of the American family, centered around white, middle-class, and heteronormative motherhood. By holding up the threat of food allergens to the white nuclear family to galvanize political and scientific action, Glabau shows, the movement excludes many, including Black women and disabled adults, whose families and health have too often been marginalized from public health and social safety net programs. Further, its strategies are founded on the assumption that market-based solutions will address issues of social exclusion and equal access to healthcare. Sharing the personal experiences of a wide spectrum of people, including parents, support group leaders, physicians, entrepreneurs, and scientists, Food Allergy Advocacy raises important questions about who controls illness activism. Using critical, intersectional feminism to interrogate how race, class, and gender shape activist priorities and platforms, it shows the way to new, justice-focused models of advocacy.

Das Institut fur Standardisierung und Dokumentation im medizinischen Laboratorium e.V. (INSTAND) setzt sich im Rahmen seiner satzungsge- massen Aufgaben fur die Verbesserung der Analysenqualitat ein. Der Festlegung von Zielwerten fur Kontrollproben kommt in der internen und externen Qual i tatskontrolle besondere Bedeutung zu. INSTAND hat von jeher in speziellen Tagungen und Symposien die Entwicklung auf diesem Gebiet gefoerdert. Dieser Tradition entspricht auch der vorl iegende Band. Er enthalt Vortrage und Diskussionen mehrerer Symposien aus den Jahren 1978 und 1979, sowie die Ergebnisse von Besprechungen mit Referenzlaboratorien und einer Kleinkonferenz 1982. Dementsprechend sind die meisten Beitrage auf den neuesten Stand gebracht. Die inhaltliche Gliederung dieses Bandes entspricht nicht genau der Abfolge der Themen in den Programmen der Veranstaltungen, vielmehr wird eine Systematik angestrebt, die der heutigen Sicht der Probleme gerecht wird. Der Abschnitt vermittelt Grundlagen. Das 1. Kapitel stellt das Instrumentarium zusammen, das im weiteren gehandhabt wird: Begriffe und einfache Verfahren der Statistik. Fruhzei tig fallt sodann der Blick auf das Anwendungsgebiet, in dem sich die Massnahmen der Quali- tatskontrolle zu bewahren haben, die klinische Diagnostik und die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Laborarzt und Kliniker. Auf das Kapitel 2, das den Einfluss der Gerate und Besonderheiten bei der Erythrozytenzahlung behandelt, folgen im Kapitel 3 Beitrage zur Qualitat der Kontroll- proben. Das Wort haben zunachst die Probenhersteller. Hier erfahrt man uber die abschliessenden Kontrollmassnahmen der Chargen, aber auch uber die wichtige Fertigungsuberwachung wahrend der Produktion. Schliesslich berichten Ringversuchsleiter uber ihre Forderungen und Prufungen an Kontrollproben.

Seit dem Nachweis erhoehter Masern-Antikoerper bei Multiple Sklerose- Kranken durch ADAMS und IMAGAWA 1962 ist die Bedeutung ubiquitarer, in einer fruhen Lebensperiode stattfindender Virusinfektionen ein Zentral- problern der Ursachenforschung uber die Multiple Sklerose (MS) geblie- ben. ERNST KUWERT war einer der ersten Forscher, die diese Frage ernst- haft in Angriff genommen haben, und es gibt wohl kaum einen, der sie mit vergleichbarer Konsequenz und Beharrlichkeit weiter verfolgt hat. Aus der grossen Zahl der Studien uber die Frage Masern und MS, die von statistischen Erhebungen bis zum Nachweis spezifischer Virusnuklein- sauren ein breites Spektrum serologisch-immunologischer Verfahren um- fassen, resultierten Divergenzen, die noch weiterbestehen. Ein fundiertes Ergebnis zeichnet sich aber ab: die Haufigkeit hoeherer Titer im Blut und Liquor gegen Masern als gegen andere Virusinfektionen und ein Titer- anstieg im akuten Stadium der MS. Zusammen mit einem seiner engsten Mitarbeiter, P. G. HOEHER, hat KUWERT in dem Buch Masern und Multiple Sklerose, eine serologische Analyse die umfangreichen Ergebnisse einer vieljahrigen Studie zusam- mengefasst. Anhand der Ergebnisse von Untersuchungen an 1275 Proban- den unter Verwendung verschiedener Testsysteme und der Antigene von 21 Virusarten wurde nachgewiesen, dass bei der MS erhoehte Titer gegen verschiedene Virusarten auftreten koennen, dass aber im Verlauf des Ner- venleidens MS ausschliesslich Masernvirus-Antikoerper ansteigen und dass besonders Antikoerper gegen Nukleoproteine und Hamolysin die akute Phase dieser Erkrankung kennzeichnen.
