基本説明
Topics covered include adaptive immunity, inflammation, neuroendocrinology, bioenergetics and metabolism.
Full Description
Sepsis: New Insights, New Therapies brings together contributions from an international group of experts in diverse fields to consider how the various pathways implicated in early and late sepsis interact, with a particular emphasis on novel concepts and potential new therapeutic approaches. Topics covered include adaptive immunity, inflammation, neuroendocrinology, bioenergetics and metabolism. Several chapters in the latter half of the book are particularly concerned with treatment strategies involving modulation of the neuroendocrine response.
Addresses the frequent, but under-recognised condition of sepsis and discusses new ways to prevent and treat it
Describes numerous pharmacological approaches to therapy for early and late sepsis
Includes detailed discussion of the various physiological systems implicated in sepsis
Presents an international perspective, featuring contributions from experts from laboratories worldwide involved in the study of sepsis
Sepsis: New Insights, New Therapies is an invaluable resource for all critical care physicians and researchers. It is also informative reading for immunologists, endocrinologists, neuroendocrinologists, physiologists, and pharmacologists.
