Book Description
The Cancer in Sub-Saharan Africa volume brings together population-based cancer incidence data from 25 cancer registries in 20 sub-Saharan African countries that are part of the African Cancer Registry Network. The compiled data in this volume, presented and commented upon by covered population and by anatomical site, are of tremendous value to the assessment of the pattern and evolution of cancer in Africa, as a means of elucidating, confirming, and evaluating causes of the disease.

Book Description
No disease can exist by itself but rather each must be viewed as the result of some specific interaction between man and his environment. This fact is appreciated even by people in the most primitive of civilisations and prompts them to ask the basic question: 'Why did I develop this disease'? The astute clinician goes beyond establishing a diagnosis and asks similar questions of himself and his patient. Frequently a singular observation resulting from this type of inquiry provides the working hypothesis for the epidemiologist who again asks the same question, not of the individual but of a definable population at risk. As a science, epidemiology is bound to the laws of logic and statistics, but clearly it must go beyond this point. The epidemiologist faced with a statistic ally significant observation must also question" its biologic relevance. He must evaluate the consistency of his findings with the more estab lished features of the disease under study. He must also be sufficiently imaginative to challenge his results with additional studies, different in their methodologic approach; and, of great importance, he must have the courage to be wrong. But epidemiologic studies alone can never determine the specific aetiology of a disease. Other scientific disciplines with their own inherent limitations are also required. Thus, in cancer research, the laboratory investigator frequently employs animal models, but the applicability of results obtained to humans is always subject to question.
Human Herpesviruses

ISBN: 1139461648
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 1325
Book Description
This comprehensive account of the human herpesviruses provides an encyclopedic overview of their basic virology and clinical manifestations. This group of viruses includes human simplex type 1 and 2, Epstein–Barr virus, Kaposi's Sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, cytomegalovirus, HHV6A, 6B and 7, and varicella-zoster virus. The viral diseases and cancers they cause are significant and often recurrent. Their prevalence in the developed world accounts for a major burden of disease, and as a result there is a great deal of research into the pathophysiology of infection and immunobiology. Another important area covered within this volume concerns antiviral therapy and the development of vaccines. All these aspects are covered in depth, both scientifically and in terms of clinical guidelines for patient care. The text is illustrated generously throughout and is fully referenced to the latest research and developments.

Book Description
A.G. STANSFELD, and J.A.M. VAN UNNIK. In joint discussions in 1974, the Club worked out a new terminology that was acceptable to all members and will hopefully be acceptable to other pathologists. Since then, it has been called the Kiel Classification. We are also pleased that the clinicians belonging to the Kiel Lymphoma Study Group-foremost A. STACHER and G. BRITTINGER have been able to present preliminary data on the clinical relevance of the new classification. Finally, our optimism was fortified by the findings of R.J. LUKES and R.D. COLLINS, which largely concur with ours in both concept and practical significance. This book is divided into six main sections. First, there is a chapter on normal cytology that supplements and, in some respects, revises the presentation given in Part A of this Handbook (1961). H.K. MULLER-HERMELINK played a major role in the writing of the first chapter. The second chapter is a brief description of the light-microscopic techniques that are used in our laboratories and have proved to be suitable for a precise diagnosis of lymph-node diseases.
