Immunologi

Denne lærebog i immunologi henvender sig til universitetsstuderende i biologiske discipliner, især lægestuderende, tand- og dyrlægestuderende, biokemikere og biologer. Første halvdel af bogen gennemgår den basale immunologi, herunder et stort afsnit om medfødt immunitet, medens anden halvdel beskriver klinisk immunologiske forhold såsom infektions-immunologi, allergi, autoimmune sygdomme, transplantation, transfusion, tumor-immunologi, blodtypeserologi og medfødte immun-deficiente tilstande. Bogen er rigt illustreret.

IMMUNOLGI 2. udgaveImmunologi er fagets autoritative standardværk, og nu foreligger det i denne gennemreviderede 2. udgave.Bogen dækker den basale immunologi og fokuserer på de immunologiske komponenter og mekanismer, der er særligt vigtige for sygdom. Til 2. udgaven er bogen opdateret med 6 nye kapitler, som adresserer immunologien i centrale organer, herunder centralnervesystemet, fordøjelseskanalen, luftvejene og huden, for at afdække og forstå årsag og patogenesen. Desuden er tilføjet kapitler om hukommelse, autoimmunitet og transfusionsimmunologi.Immunologi 2. udgave er fuldt pensumdækkende for faget immunologi ved landets medicinske fakulteter, men er også relevant for andre sundhedsfaglige grupper, såsom tandlæger, dyrlæger og sygeplejersker.Christian Kanstrup Holm er lektor, ph.d., cand.scient på Institut for Biomedicin ved Aarhus Universitet.

”Min videnskabelige nysgerrighed er i den grad pirret! Både min datter, flere andre familiemedlemmer og venner har prøvet det med gode resultater. Alle store nye opdagelser udfordrer vores menneskelige intellekt og skepsis. Metoden, som er beskrevet her, er en klar kandidat til en større videnskabelig undersøgelse. Det ville være fantastisk, hvis vi står over for et gennembrud i forståelsen af allergi – og samtidig en enkel og effektiv behandlingsmetode til at fjerne allergien.” Jan Utzon, Speciallæge i Samfunds- og Miljømedicin”Torben Frank Andersen og Ole Larsen har skrevet en meget udførlig bog om allergi, der i den grad inddrager et helhedsperspektiv, som allergibehandling har brug for. WHO har forudsagt, at 70 % af alle sygdomme i 2020 vil være stressrelaterede. Bogen illustrerer på udmærket vis sammenhængen mellem stress, allergi og sygdom. At allergi er psykosomatisk/en programmeringsfejl, er helt i tråd med, hvordan vi forstår hjernens tolkning af sensoriske inputs fra omgivelserne – og endnu et spændende perspektiv på chok/traume-behandling. Jeg hilser bogen velkommen og håber, at mange flere vil tage det forebyggende og helhedsorienterede perspektiv til sig.” Jesper Peter Rasmussen, Stressambassadøren og Københavns Gestalt Institut

En dysbiose er en overvægt af skadelige mikroorganismer, svampe og sygdomsfremkaldende bakterier, hvor svampe, bakterier eller parasitter har svært ved at indgå i det harmoniske fællesskab, der findes i kroppen. Det kan ødelægge tarmfloraen og forårsage inflammation, øget tarmgennemtrængelighed og medvirke til udviklingen at fødevareallergier, fødevareintolerancer og sensitivitet over for fødevarer.Bogen giver en god indsigt i, hvordan du kan bringe kroppen i balance, på et sprog, som er let at forstå med mange gode forklaringer og lækre opskrifter.

Ifølge Astma-Allergi Danmark har hver femte dansker allergi. Mange mennesker lever hver dag med gener og belastninger, som kan forringe livskvaliteten. Flere er ramt af gentagen nysen, eksem, kløe, tilstoppet næse, tør hud etc. Allergi er en overreaktion i immunsystemet på ellers normalt uskadelige stoffer, og både voksne og børn rammes af sygdommen. Med en så stor gruppe af mennesker, der er berørt af allergi, er det kun naturligt, at myter om sygdommen florerer. Derfor laver vi nu bogen 100 myter om allergi for at finde hoved og hale i de ofte modstridende udsagn om sygdommen. Myterne er f.eks.: OPVÆKST I ET HJEM MED PELSDYR ØGER RISIKOEN FOR UDVIKLING AF ASTMA OG ALLERGI ALLERGI KAN UDLØSES AF STRESSALLERGI ER LIGESÅ ALMINDELIGT PÅ LANDET SOM I BYEN. 100 myter om allergi er den tiende bog i myteserien fra FADL’s Forlag. Den går mere ind i det sundhedsfaglige felt end de seneste udgivelser om mad, sex og kærlighed. Forfatteren bag bogen er børnelæge Jesper Brandt Andersen, der tidligere har skrevet bøgerne Børnelægens store bog om barnets sygdomme og biografien om den danske anatom Thomas Bartholin.

"Bogen om Allergi" er for danskere, der har allergi – eller som gerne vil undgå at få allergi hos dem selv eller deres børn.Bogen er en opslagsbog og dens særlige, brugervenlige opbygning gør sammen med over 250 fotos og letforståelige tekster, at alle – uanset allergi’erfaring’ og læselyst – nemt og hurtigt finder frem til præcis den information, de mangler. Her er både grundlæggende fakta til dem uden allergi, mere uddybende til dem, der lige har fået konstateret allergi, men også særlige fif til dem, der har haft allergi i mange år."Bogen om Allergi" beskriver alle allergityper, er målrettet 'forebyggelse' og dens faglige indhold er gennemgået af 10 førende allergieksperter. Den kombination er aldrig set før, og derfor er "Bogen om Allergi" helt unik og uundværlig i den moderne danske familie.Forfatteren har også skrevet "Bogen om Tvillinger 0-10 år" og "Uge-for-uge-kalender - til dig, der venter tvillinger".

Dette er en meget personlig beskrivelse af en ung kvindes rejse, hvis fysiske reaktion på svære oplevelser især kommer til udtryk via hudens reaktion og både bliver en udfordring, men også anledning til selvhealing.De, der aldrig har været generet af hudproblemer, uanset om det er pletter, bumser, pigmentpletter, eksem, akne, dermatitis eller rosacea, kan måske have svært ved at sætte sig ind i, hvor meget det kan fylde i én. Nogle gange ser folk det slet ikke så meget, som man selv tror, men det kan fylde i ens opmærksomhed og dominere i en grad, at det tager fokus fra, hvad man ellers gør.Rosacea er en tricky hudreaktion og to helt identiske udgaver findes ikke, men der er mange fællesnævnere, som på en let og overskuelig måde bliver introduceret i bogen.Må denne bog blive en inspiration til dig, uanset om det handler om at finde løsninger til samme udfordring eller selve det at få inspiration til ikke at give op og blive ved med at søge livsglæde og livskraft – og få opmærksomhed på vores organisme som en helhed og ikke adskilt.Alene det at kunne spejle sig i Karinas modige deling af sin historie og ikke føle sig alene om det.
