In the last ten years, major strides have been made in defining the presence and role of inflammation in atherosclerosis as well as in injury to the tissues that occurs after episodes of ischemia and reperfusion. In sixteen chapters, written by world-renowned individuals from different countries, the role of inflammation and different mediators in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis is presented. The significance of inflammation and possible therapeutic implications is also described in depth. This book is of great interest for a wide range of physicians, researchers, and scientists who may want to study more and develop the concept of inflammation and atherosclerosis.

This book critically examines the policy frameworks and categories that determine the status and lives of displaced people, evaluating how rights-based approaches might work to achieve social justice.This is the first book to tackle the issue of forced displacement - internally displaced populations and oustees. It provides a unique rights-based approach to displacement, which allows an examination of the human rights implication of current policies. It includes case studies on a range of countries covering the Middle East, Africa and Asia.Uprootedness, exile and forced displacement, be they due to conflict, persecution or so-called 'development', are conditions which characterize the lives of millions across the globe. This book problematizes both policies and rights frameworks in processes of displacement, while bridging the divide that exists between refugee and oustee studies.

This book covers the latest developments in the therapeutic implications of angiogenesis, ranging from angiogenesis in the brain, angiogenesis in cancer, angiogenesis' role in atherosclerosis and heart disease as well as metabolic disorders and peripheral vascular disease. The book is comprehensive in its coverage of angiogenesis in a diverse set of diseases and examines the role of cellular and subcellular structures during the development of angiogenesis. Well-organized and thorough, this is an ideal book for researchers and biomedical engineers working in the field of therapeutic implications of angiogenesis. This book also: Covers the basics of the physiology of angiogenesis, including VEGF pathways in angiogenesis, integr ins in angiogenesis, angiogenesis and exercise physiology, and more Details the role of angiogenesis in atherosclerosis and heart disease, including vascular endothelial growth factor and atherosclerotic plaque progression as well as angiogenesis and heart failure Illustrates in detail brain angiogenesis after stroke and the relationship between angiogenesis and Alzheimer's disease
