Case Studies in Immunology: A Clinical Companion by Geha

Immunology No Responses »
Sep 152012
Case Studies in Immunology, Sixth Edition, presents major topics of immunology through a selection of clinical cases that reinforce and extend the basic science. The case histories illustrate essential points about the mechanisms of immunity and describe immunological problems seen in the clinic. This new edition vividly illustrates the importance of an understanding of immunology in diagnosis and therapy. Case Studies in Immunology highlights major common disorders of immunity, including hypersensitivity types I-IV, immune deficiencies, and autoimmune disorders. Each case history is preceded by basic scientific facts essential to understanding the immunology behind the specific disorders. An end-of-case summary, questions, and discussion points conclude each case.
Case Studies in Immunology can be used as a stand-alone book, or as a clinical companion alongside Janeway’s Immunobiology, Eighth Edition. A marginal icon in Janeway’s Immunobiology provides the reader with a link to the relevant Case Study, where the science is applied in a clinical setting.
The book includes a total of 53 cases. The Sixth Edition is extensively revised and updated and includes ten new cases:
    DiGeorge Syndrome
    Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis
    Chediak-Higashi Syndrome
    Hyper IgE Syndrome
    Ataxia Telangiectasia
    Warts, Hypogammaglobulinemia, Infections, and Myelokathexis (WHIM) Syndrome
    Severe Congenital Neutropenia
    Recurrent Herpes Simplex Encephalitis
    Systemic Onset Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
    Crohn’s Disease

Roitt’s Essential Immunology – Wiley-Blackwell; 12th Edition

Immunology No Responses »
Mar 232012

Review

We have worked hard to improve the text in numerous places and have added much new information and illustrations on many topics.  For those of you who are committed fans of other Immunology books, please take a look at the new edition, we’re sure you’ll like it (Seamus Martin, 2011).”Roitt’s Essential Immunology is of great interest to a medical student, perfect for a clinician dealing with patients with hypersensitivity reactions or autoimmune conditions and useful even to an experienced immunologist. This book is truly a 21st century publication designed for a modern reader who wishes to gain and further their knowledge of immunology.” (World Allergy Organization, 1 November 2011)”However, Roitt’s is a fine choice for a basic immunology course. Because of the many changes in what we know about the immune system, a new edition is welcome.” (Doody’s, 14 October 2011)

From the Back Cover

How the Immune System Works – Wiley-Blackwell; 4th Edition (Feb 2012)

Immunology No Responses »
Mar 132012

Review

What users of the previous edition said: “The voice of the author is one of a true teacher whose enthusiasm for the subject is contagious. There are far too many dry, “academic,” or “scientific” textbooks around and this book felt very fresh in comparison.” Medical Student, University of Texas, South Western Medical Center at Dallas
“As if immersed in a conversation, this book is able to balance the line between facts, humor and history. The analogies and metaphors allow such a notorious subject to be leisurely digested over a couple days. From references to the Pillsbury Doughboy, Grace Kelly, quarterbacks and the Bubble Boy, this is an entertaining read as well as an informational read.” Medical Student, Eastern Virginia Medical School“Best textbook I have ever had! I am a first-year veterinary student. This book was a required text and I am SO glad I bought it! Very thin book, super easy to read. It is like reading a good story. This is a must for anyone taking immunology.” Amazon.com reviewer

From the Back Cover

How the Immune System Worksis not a comprehensive textbook. It’s the book thousands of students have used to help them understand what’s in their big, thick, immunology texts. In this book, Dr. Sompayrac cuts through the jargon and details to reveal, in simple language, the essence of this complex subject.Fifteen easy to follow lectures, featuring the uniquely popular humorous style and engaging analogies developed by Dr Sompayrac, provide an introduction to the ‘bigger picture’, followed by practical discussion on how each of the components interacts with one another.Now featuring full-color diagrams, this book has been rigorously updated for its fourth edition to reflect today’s immunology teaching and includes updated discussion of B and T cell memory, T cell activation, vaccines, immunodeficiency, and cancer.Whether you are completely new to immunology, or require a refresher, How the Immune System Works is an enjoyable way of engaging with the key concepts – you need know nothing of the workings of the immune system to benefit from this book!

How the Immune System Works is now accompanied by a FREE enhanced Wiley Desktop Edition – the interactive, digital version of the book - featuring downloadable text and images, highlighting and note taking facilities, book-marking, cross-referencing, in-text searching, and linking to references and glossary terms. It is also available from CourseSmart for instant, online and offline access for studying anytime, anywhere.

In Defense of Self: How the Immune System Really Works In Defense of Self: in Managing Health and Disease

Immunology No Responses »
Apr 062009


We live in a sea of seething microbial predators, an infinity of invisible and invasive microorganisms capable of setting set up shop inside us and sending us to an early grave. The only thing keeping them out? The immune system.
William Clark’s In Defense of Self offers a refreshingly accessible tour of the immune system, putting in layman’s terms essential information that has been for too long the exclusive province of trained specialists. Clark explains how the immune system works by using powerful genetic, chemical, and cellular weapons to protect us from the vast majority of disease-causing microbes-bacteria, viruses, molds, and parasites. Only those microbes our bodies need to help us digest food and process vitamins are admitted. But this same system can endanger us by rejecting potentially life-saving organ transplants, or by overreacting and turning too much force against foreign invaders, causing serious-occasionally lethal-collateral damage to our tissues and organs. Worse yet, our immune systems may react as if we ourselves are foreign and begin snipping away at otherwise healthy tissues, resulting in autoimmune disease. In Defense of Self covers everything from how antibodies work and the strategies the body uses to distinguish self from not self to the nature of immunological memory, the latest approaches to vaccination, and how the immune system will react should we ever be subjected to a bioterrorist attack. Clark also offers important insights on the vital role that the immune system plays in cancer, AIDS, autoimmunity, rheumatoid arthritis, allergies and asthma, and other diseases.
Of special interest to all those suffering from diseases related to the immune system, as well as
