Handbook of Foodborne Diseases

Handbook of Foodborne Diseases

Clearly linked to consumption of foods beverages and drinking water that contain pathogenic microbes toxins or other toxic agents foodborne diseases have undergone a remarkable change of fortune in recent decades from once rare and insignificant malaises to headline-grabbing and deadly outbreaks. Unquestionably several factors have combined to make this happen. These include a prevailing demand for the convenience of ready-to-eat or heat-and-eat manufactured food products that allow ready entry and survival of some robust temperature-insensitive microorganisms; a drastic reduction in the costs of air sea and road transportation that has taken some pathogenic microorganisms to where they were absent previously; an expanding world population that has stretched the boundary of human activity; and an ageing population whose weakened immune functions provide a fertile ground for opportunistic pathogens to invade and thrive. Given the diversity of causative agents (ranging from viruses bacteria yeasts filamentous fungi protozoa helminthes toxins to toxic agents) and the ingenuity of pathogenic microbes to evolve through genetic reassortment horizontal gene transfer and/or random genetic mutation it has become an enormous challenge to understand how foodborne agents are able to evade host immune defenses and induce diseases and also to develop and apply innovative approaches for improved diagnosis treatment and prevention of foodborne diseases. Handbook of Foodborne Diseases summarizes the latest findings on more than 100 foodborne diseases and their causative agents. With contributions from international experts on foodborne pathogens toxins and toxic agents research this volume provides state-of-the-art overviews on foodborne diseases in relation to their etiology biology epidemiology clinical presentation pathogenesis diagnosis treatment and prevention. Apart from offering a comprehensive textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate students in food medical and veterinary microbiology this volume constitutes a valuable reference on foodborne diseases for medical professionals and health authorities and forms an informative educational resource for the general public.

Kaplan's Principles of Plant Morphology

Kaplan's Principles of Plant Morphology defines the field of plant morphology providing resources examples and theoretical constructs that illuminate the foundations of plant morphology and clearly outline the importance of integrating a fundamental understanding of plant morphology into modern research in plant genetics development and physiology. As research on developmental genetics and plant evolution emerges an understanding of plant morphology is essential to interpret developmental and morphological data. The principles of plant morphology are being brought into studies of crop development biodiversity and evolution during climate change and increasingly such researchers are turning to old texts to uncover information about historic research on plant morphology. Hence there is great need for a modern reference and textbook that highlights past studies and provides the synthesis of data necessary to drive our future research in plant morphological and developmental evolution.

Diagnostic MRI in Dogs and Cats

Diagnostic MRI in Dogs and Cats

Diagnostic MRI in Dogs and Cats makes the vast and increasingly complex topic of clinical MRI in small animals accessible to all veterinarians. With the increasing availability of MRI technology there is also a pressing need for expertise in interpreting these images. This is the first reference textbook to provide a well-illustrated and comprehensive overview of the current knowledge focusing on imaging appearance rather than on clinical signs or treatment. With chapters on MRI physics and technology as well as sections on specific anatomical regions the book functions as a stand-alone reference for the reader whether they be a radiology/neurology resident in training or a practitioner with a need to learn about veterinary clinical MRI. Includes both evidenced-based material and the authors' personal experience providing an excellent overview of current knowledge in the field. Contributors are international leaders in the field. Bullet points format and table summaries throughout the book keep the concepts concise and organized. Richly illustrated with over 650 annotated images showcasing the main features of the disease processes. Images are obtained at all magnet field strengths so as to reflect the current reality of veterinary MRI which uses low- mid- and high-field magnets. The chapters on physics and MRI technology are concise and accessible using many visual aids and diagrams and avoiding abstract concepts and equations whenever possible. Within each anatomical section each chapter focuses on a disease category of that body region. When it is important to understand the imaging appearance the pathophysiology is reviewed and imaging features of prognostic relevance are detailed. This practical yet thoroughly comprehensive book is primarily an evidence-based learning resource for trainees but will also aid practising veterinarians who have less MRI experience.
