Profound Sensitivity Syndrome (now dubbed PS2) saps good health and vitality, leaving patients with a number of seemingly unrelated symptoms--headaches, backaches, light sensitivity, aching joints, chronic fatigue, and allergies. The authors' program can help reverse the effects of the debilitating ailments that are caused by no apparent ...
In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Pearsall explains how to practically apply the latest scientific findings on immunity. He shows how human emotions run in cycles of hot and cold and how--by maintaining a happy medium--readers can fight disease, improve their health and achieve Superimmunity.
This volume highlights the proceedings of the 7th International Congress of the International Society for Neuroimmunomodulation. The volume provides an overview current research in neural and endocrine mechanisms of immune regulation as well as the effects of peripheral and central immune responses on brain function. Of particular interest are the ...
As with the first edition of "Cytokines and the CNS", this completely updated and revised edition introduces neurobiologists to cytokine biology and immunologists to the unique functions of cytokines in CNS physiology. The dramatically accelerating interest in cytokines and cytokine/chemokine signaling over the past several years has encouraged an ...
Crosstalk between the neuroendocrine and immune systems plays an essential role in inflammatory, autoimmune, and allergic diseases. An international group of scientists from the fields of neurobiology, neuroendocrinology, immunology, and behavioral sciences reports here on recent advances in our understanding of the communication and modulation ...
During the last few decades, Sleep Medicine and Science, and many of their diverse aspects, have emerged as areas of intense medical and scientific interest. Of these, Sleep and Neuroimmunology are highly interlinked and inherently fascinating which cut across many behavioral states, touches all facets of human health and wellbeing. Elucidating ...
Psychoneuroimmunology is the study of interactions between the brain and the immune system. This book provides a clearly written summary of behavioral, neural and endocrine regulation of immune responses and of the effects of immune system activity on neural and endocrine functions and behavior. The underlying premise is that the brain and immune ...
This comprehensive and up-to-date reference reviews the fundamental ideas and terminology used to evaluate viral and immune-mediated diseases and details the taxonomy, pathogenesis, epidemiology, immunology, clinical and differential diagnosis, and treatment of viral and virus-induced immune-mediated diseases of the nervous system. Uniting the ...
The book summarises the current understanding of the Nervous, Endocrine and Immune systems with emphasis on shared mediators and receptors and functional interaction. In addition to the fundamental physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms, which are presented in detail, some clinically relevant subjects are also presented, such as ...
The discipline of neuroimmunomodulation is devoted to interactions between the immune nervous systems at all levels and includes observation on brain, pituitary, peripheral nervous system and immune cells. Nitric oxide synthase is contained within neurons in the brain and modifies behavioural and hormonal responses by acting on other neurons and ...
The stress response is an adaptive, complex, and essential process that serves to prepare an organism for the variety of dangers it may encounter. However, this same process may also be detrimental. The challenge of identifying the circumstances which alter the advantageous stress response to a damaging process has been taken up by scientists from ...
This volume focuses on the relationship between the nervous and the immune system with regard to the effects of drugs of abuse and infections, including infection caused by the immunodeficiency virus which causes AIDS, the number one health problem worldwide. Chapters focus on the brain-immune axis, detailing the effects of drugs of abuse. It is ...
This volume brings together a series of up-to-date and broad-based reviews from international researchers. It should provide the reader with a better understanding of cytokine actions in the nervous system with reference to neuroimmune diseases, and should be useful in helping to improve diagnosis and determining therapeutic measures. Many ...
This is the latest volume in the series Research and Perspectives in Neurosciences. Fondation IPSEN has again collected superb contributions to the fields neuro-immune, neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders.
This volume is a result of an International Symposium on pain and neuroimmune interactions, held in Beirut, Lebanon, in May of 1999. The results of research on the neural mechanisms that relate tissue damage to pain show that the sensation of pain and suffering can be considered as part of mechanisms that involve not only sizeable areas in the ...
Written by field experts, "Neuroimmunology in Clinical Practice" fills a void in traditional neuroimmunology literature, which tends to cover the discipline's scientific aspects with little emphasis on clinical applications. This unique book is essential reading in clinical neuroimmunology. Written by field experts, this book provides a ...
"Clinical Neurimmunology" is the major reference text in the field, providing broad and comprehensive coverage of the interaction between the nervous and immune systems in both normal and diseased states. Understanding this interaction is fundamental to developing therapeutic approaches to disease and injury of the nervous system that are ...
Several new developments in the field of neuroimmunology with focus on the brain-to-immune system communication have been the incentive for this PIR volume. It covers topics such as brain-immune interactions, the impact of stress on the immune response, pain and immunosuppression, the modulation of inflammation and pain by the sympathetic nervous ...
The latest data and ideas concerning this rapidly growing field, coming out of laboratories in many countries, are presented in this volume, the proceedings of the First World Congress of the International Society for Neuroimmunomodulation held in May, 1990. Topics include homeostasis and immunity, cellular and molecular neuroimmunology, and ...
In recent years hard scientific evidence has emerged which links stress and various disease states. The mechanisms underlying the interplay between brain-neuroendocrine and immune systems are the focus of much current research. Unlike other recent publications which are for specialists and frequently compromise detailed accounts, this book is for ...
This book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date and critical overview of the immunological aspects of autoimmune neurological disease. These diseases include common conditions such as multiple sclerosis, the Guillain-Barre syndrome and myasthenia gravis. The introductory chapters on antigen recognition and self-nonself recognition, and ...
This exciting text examines the various immunological therapies that are available to neurologists when treating neuroimmunological diseases The distinguished editorial group has assembled a superb team of internation ally renown experts to expound on their particular subspeciality This text will prove a valuable reference source for neurologists ...
