World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Primer Of Chemical Pathology, A
Book SynopsisThis book has been written primarily for medical students and junior doctors in clinical practice, but would also be a useful reference for postgraduate students in chemical pathology (clinical biochemistry), laboratory scientists, pathologists and medical laboratory technologists. It covers the field of chemical pathology, the biochemical basis of disease, and provides a basic understanding of the relationship between abnormal biochemical test results and disease states. A rational approach to proper selection and interpretation of biochemical investigations is adopted for each organ system or analyte covered in the 28 chapters. Emphasis is placed on areas and problems most commonly met with in clinical practice. Meant primarily as an introductory study book to the subject rather than as a reference text, the materials have been presented in a clear, condensed format to aid the study process. The written text is amply supplemented with relevant illustrations.Table of ContentsSodium and water metabolism; potassium metabolism; acid-base disorders and oxygen metabolism; mineralocorticoids; the kidney; calcium metabolism; phosphate metabolism; magnesium metabolism; purine and urate matabolism; carbohydrate metabolism; glucose, lactate and ketones; the hepatobiliary system; proteins in body fluids; enzymes in diagnosis; lipid and lipoprotein metabolism; the gastrointestinal tract; the hypothalamus and pituitary gland; the thyroid gland; the adrenal cortex; reproductive endocrinoloogy; iron metabolism; porphyrins and porphyrias; biochemical syndromes of tumours; hypertension; inherited metabolic diseases; nutrition, vitamins, trace elements; pregnancy and infertility; paediatric chemical pathology; therapeutic drug monitoring and toxicology.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Cases In Chemical Pathology: A Diagnostic
Book SynopsisThis book is the fourth edition of a highly regarded text which was first published in 1988. It introduces the reader to the interpretation of routine laboratory biochemical test results and covers all aspects of interpretative chemical pathology (including reproductive endocrinology, which was not covered previously).The approach is based on case material from the authors' laboratory and employs algorithms and similar aids for interpretation. The material is structured so that it is comprehensible to beginners as well as being useful for the more experienced practitioners. The envisaged audience is medical undergraduates, general practitioners, clinical biochemists and laboratory technicians.Trade Review"The book is well made and attractively printed." Richard T O'Kell Clinical Chemistry "... the authors cover most of the major areas of importance in day-to-day practice, with particular emphasis on renal, acid-base and 'electrolyte' disturbances. The cases are well presented, and the discussions concise yet comprehensive. There are helpful tables and algorithms for investigation. Rather more references are provided than is usual in books of this sort, which will be valuable to teachers and those studying for postgraduate examinations. This is a working book - it handles well and it will stay open on the desk or bench ... It deserves to be widely known, and widely used." W J Marshall Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists "This book should be extremely useful for trainees at all levels, but especially those who are starting out on the duty biochemist rota or those preparing for the case studies..."

Springer Verlag, Singapore Diabetes Mellitus: A risk factor for Alzheimer's
Book SynopsisThis book describes the precise mechanisms by which insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus (DM) act as risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It opens by discussing the de novo synthesis of insulin in the brain and its functional significance with regard to glucose metabolism and maintenance of neuronal function in the brain. The epidemiological evidence that DM is a risk factor for the development of dementia, including AD as well as vascular dementia, is then examined. Subsequent chapters explore in depth the mechanisms involved in this relationship, including abnormal protein processing, dysregulated glucose metabolism, impaired insulin signaling, and mitochondrial dysfunction. The molecular interactions between diabetes and AD are fully discussed, highlighting the pathological molecular mechanisms induced by diabetes that promote and accelerate AD pathology. Finally, diagnostic biomarkers and potential therapeutic approaches for AD are considered on the basis of the presented evidence. In providing answers to the critical questions of whether and why DM is a risk factor for AD, this book will hold appeal for a wide interdisciplinary audience. Table of ContentsChapter 1 Origins of brain insulin and its function.- Chapter 2 Epidemiological evidence of the relationship between diabetes and dementia.- Chapter 3 Molecular pathophysiology of insulin depletion, mitochondrial dysfunction, and oxidative stress in Alzheimer’s Disease Brain.- Chapter 4 The Full Spectrum of Alzheimer's Disease is Rooted in Metabolic.- Derangements That Drive Type 3 Diabetes.- Chapter 5 The roles of apolipoprotein E, lipids and glucose in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease.- Chapter 6 Molecular connection between diabetes and dementia.- Chapter 7 Type II Diabetes mellitus accelerates age-dependent A pathology in cynomolgus monkey brain.- Chapter 8 Diabetes-related dementia.- Chapter 9 Tortuous paths of insulin signaling and mitochondria in Alzheimer's disease.- Chapter 10 Mammalian target of rapamycin at the crossroad between Alzheimer’s Disease and diabetes.- Chapter 11 Therapeutic strategies for Alzheimer’s disease in the view of diabetes mellitus.
