Score your highest in biostatistics Biostatistics is a required course for students of medicine, epidemiology, forestry, agriculture, bioinformatics, and public health. In years past this course has been mainly a graduate-level requirement; however its application is growing and course offerings at the undergraduate level are exploding. Biostatistics For Dummies is an excellent resource for those taking a course, as well as for those in need of a handy reference to this complex material. Biostat...
Dr. Hilary Koprowski is the pioneer of live polio vaccine, the first researcher to advance the diagnostic and therapeutic use of monoclonal antibodies, and the developer of the "gold standard" rabies vaccine. This biography chronicles his distinguished career and life's work in the field of microbiology. A world-reknowned maverick in biomedical research, Koprowski's research methods were often considered controversial and even radical. Nonetheless, he acquired key positions in many research orga...
This text provides researchers with descriptions and explanations of the concepts and methods used in qualitative research. With the move towards evidence-based practice and emphasis placed on multidisciplinary research teams, there is a growing use of qualitative research methods. Qualitative research looks at processes as well as outcomes and enables data to be gathered on a range of human experience, taking a person-centred and holistic approach. The book's entries are ordered alphabetically...
Biodefense Research Methodology and Animal Models
Significant advances have been made in animal model development for biological research since the publication of the first edition of this volume, and the ramifications of the FDA's Animal Efficacy Rule have become better understood in the scientific community. With each chapter completely updated with the latest research findings, Biodefense Resea
Fractals’ Physical Origin and Properties
This volume contains the Proceedings of the Special Seminar on: FRAGTALS held from October 9-15, 1988 at the Ettore Majorana Centre for Scientific Culture, Erice (Trapani), Italy. The concepts of self-similarity and scale invariance have arisen independently in several areas. One is the study of critical properites of phase transitions; another is fractal geometry, which involves the concept of (non-integer) fractal dimension. These two areas have now come together, and their methods have extend...
Molecular Modeling of Proteins (Methods in Molecular Biology, #443)
Molecular Modeling of Proteins, Second Edition provides a theoretical background of various methods available and enables non-specialists to apply methods to their problems by including updated chapters and new material not covered in the first edition. This detailed volume opens by featuring classical and advanced simulation methods as well as methods to set-up complex systems such as lipid membranes and membrane proteins and continues with chapters devoted to the simulation and analysis of con...
Clinical Research in Private Practice
Clinical research is the tip of the spear for innovation and central in the development of improving safety and efficacy for patient centric care. Unfortunately, clinical research in academic practices is bogged down by inefficiency and infrequent regulatory oversight, thus leaving physicians unable to meet the clinical and research needs for driving innovation. Private practice is a valid practice cohort that can effectively, reliably, and reproducibly perform study related activities, for both...
This reference book on clinical experimentation focuses on principles that are especially useful in the design and analysis of studies on human subjects. It shows how to choose between modern and classical competing designs for a clinical study - such as crossover designs, multicenter studies, and repeated measure experiments - how to carry out each design and analyze the resulting data. The book provides many practical examples, end-of-chapter problems and references, and solutions to each prob...
Medical research has been central to biomedicine in Africa for over a century, and Africa, along with other tropical areas, has been crucial to the development of medical science. At present, study populations in Africa participate in an increasing number of medical research projects and clinical trials, run by both public institutions and private companies. Global debates about the politics and ethics of this research are growing and local concerns are prompting calls for social studies of th...
Handbook of Zoonoses, Second Edition, Section A
This multivolume handbook presents the most authoritative and comprehensive reference work on major zoonoses of the world. The Handbook of Zoonoses covers most diseases communicable to humans, as well as those diseases common to both animals and humans. It identifies animal diseases that are host specific and reviews the effects of various human diseases on animals. Discussions address diseases that remain important public and animal health problems and the techniques that can control and preven...

Atlas of Hematopathology with 100 Case Studies is a practical guide useful for pathologists and hematologists, residents and fellows, laboratory directors, researchers, and students in the field of hematology, cytogenetic, and molecular pathology. The book offers important information to practicing physicians and those in pathology and hematology training to improve their diagnostic skills. It covers the most important aspects of hematopathology, including classifications, clinical symptoms, hem...
Grounded Theory in Management Research (Sage Series in Management Research)
by Karen Locke
`This is an excellent text for anyone wishing to explore the possibilities of a grounded theory approach in management and organizational research. The first two parts ought to be essential reading in methods courses, regardless of the field of investigation′ - Organization Studies `…resources for conducting grounded theory are spread across a number of disciplines… making it difficult for organization and management scholars to track them down. This book describes the grounded theory approach...
Umbilical Cord Stem Cell Therapy
by Anthony Payne and David Steenblock
The debate over the use of Embryonic stem cells and the questionable effectiveness of adult stem cells have led many scientists and clinicians to concentrate their energies on umbilical-cord-derived stem cells from healthy newborn babies. Amassing a very respectable track record in terms of safety and clinical utility, cord-blood stem cells can treat many diseases such as multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, stroke, diabetes, heart disease and certain degenerative eye disorders.
Hematology data from in vivo toxicology studies remains one of the most predictive measures for human risk, as the same measurements made in pre-clinical toxicology studies can be made in early clinical trials. Covering the three main blood cell types - erythrocytes, leukocytes and thrombocytes, this work is designed to clarify topics fo
The authoritative guide for Data Monitoring Committees—fully revised and updated The number of clinical trials sponsored by government agencies and pharmaceutical companies has grown in recent years, prompting an increased need for interim monitoring of data on safety and efficacy. Data Monitoring Committees (DMCs) are an essential component of many clinical trials, safeguarding trial participants and protecting the credibility and validity of the study. Data Monitoring Committees in Clinical T...
Autonomic Nervous System Part 2, Dysfunctions (Handbook of Clinical Neurology)
Autonomic nervous system dysfunction and pathology are dealt with in this volume. The profound autonomic accompaniments of acute and chronic pain are given extensive coverage.

Endosomes (Molecular Biology Intelligence Unit)
Endosomes are a heterogeneous population of endocytic vesicles and tubules that have captivated the interest of biologists for many years, partly due to their important cellular functions and partly due to their intriguing nature and dynamics. Endosomes represent a fascinating interconnected network of thousands of vesicles that transport various cargoes, mainly proteins and lipids, to distant cellular destinations. How endosomes function, what co-ordinates the molecular determinants at each ste...
