It covers the whole of internal medicine and will be a stimulating learning tool and revision aid for students of all ages. The chapters have been written by a relatively young team and a great deal of emphasis has been placed on making the text and artwork extremely accessible. Each organ and body system has a consistently applied colour and the structure of each chapter is the same, and reflects the systematic approach to clinical medicine.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49563161690385,"sku":"GOR006270948","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49632086098193,"sku":"GOR002146228","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53190660784401,"sku":"GOR006695712","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/063202707X.jpg?v=1751073941"},{"product_id":"medicine-book-john-s-axford-9780632051625","title":"Medicine","description":"\"Medicine\" is a revolutionary core textbook designed with students for students. Clinically-orientated and focused squarely on the core curriculum, \"Medicine\" delivers what medical students need to know in a manner that encourages learning. \"Medicine\" has evolved out of close collaboration and planning with students, junior doctors, and teachers. The result is something refreshingly different - the result is something quite unique. \"Medicine\" successfully integrates basic science and clinical practice. The systems-based chapters all follow a common structure: Structure and Function - the essential basics that underpin each system; Approach to the Patient - history and examination, clinical presentations, differential diagnosis and investigations; and, Disease and their Management - all the common conditions that medical students need to know for future practice.This consistent, easy-to-navigate structure makes locating information simple and it is also tailored toward successful revision. All chapters have been updated and revised to follow the core curriculum and current medical practice. A new chapter on the Human Aspects of Medicine covers the principles of medicine, ethics, law and evidence-based medicine guidelines. Individual colour-coded features make \"Medicine\" even easier to use. It's features include: 'At a Glance' boxes - perfect for quick review and revision; 'Clinical Presentations at a Glance' - excellent summaries to develop your clinical problem-solving skills; 'Key Points' - alert you to essential information throughout; 'Must Know' checklists - highlight the key learning objectives in each chapter; and, 'Further Reading' - your guide to clinical evidence from key books, journals and websites.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49595167441169,"sku":"GOR002877040","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50058004267281,"sku":"GOR013848738","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52085086224657,"sku":"GOR006381548","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53140726350097,"sku":"GOR005730766","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0632051620.jpg?v=1751441951"},{"product_id":"glycobiology-and-medicine-book-john-s-axford-9781489973672","title":"Glycobiology and Medicine","description":"7th Jenner Glycobiology and Medicine Symposium Sunday5-W Wednesday 8 September 2004 John S. Axford StGeorge's, University of London, UK The potential for glycobiology to improve the practice of medicine has been well recognised, which is why biannual meetings concerning the association have been taking place for the last 14 years. The science of glycobiology has matured rapidly, and with it the far reaching clinical implications are becoming understood. The next decade is going to see this ?nal frontier of science conquered. The impact this understanding of glycobiology will have upon our practice of medicine is going to be exciting. The 7th Jenner Glycobiology and Medicine Symposium was designed tore?ecttheseadvances.Allthemajorclinicalareaswereinvolved,withcontributions from pivotal players in science and medicine. As with our previous meetings, junior scientists were involved as we recognise that at the end of the next decade they will be in the driving seat. This introduction serves as a taster to whet your appetite. From embryogenesis to pathogenesis, glycosylation plays a pivotal role. Complex and hybrid N-glyans and O-fucose glycans are critical in oocyte devel- ment and function. This area must surely be a fertile ground for glycosylation research.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52343763140881,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52343763730705,"sku":"NLS9781489973672","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781489973672.jpg?v=1758174015"},{"product_id":"glycoimmunology-2-book-john-s-axford-9781461374572","title":"Glycoimmunology 2","description":"The Jenner International Glycoimmunology Meetings have charted the rapid devel- opment of glycobiology within the field of inflammation.

In this book, important data is reviewed concerning the clinical manifestations of Lyme Borreliosis. It seems that strain variation of the spirochaete is the main cause of regional differences seen in the clinical presentation of patients. One striking example of this, is the relatively high incidence of Lyme arthritis in the USA and apparent rarity of this manifestion in some areas of Europe. These important studies open the way for exciting new research that focuses on the immunological and molecular mechanisms that result in disease. A full insight into the ecology of Borrelia burgdorferi is essential to a balanced understanding of the disease and a number of excellent reviews on this subject are included.

In particular, improved methods for carbohydrate analysis have led to important biochemical observations demonstrating that sugars play crucial roles in human physiology. It is clear that many diseases are associated with characteristic changes in glycosylation and furthermore, the possibility of modulating glycan processing to treat disease is beginning to be realised. This volume summarises some of the important recent developments in glycobiology and medicine.  We highlighted some of the numerous areas in which there are glycosylation dependant pathological mechanisms causing common diseases. The next decade will undoubtedly see novel diagnostic and therapeutic techniques originating from these observations. This will significantly enhance our ability to combat infection and diseases such as bacterial and viral infections, some cancers, glycolipid storage disorders, systemic autoimmune disease and disorders that involve cytokine related inflammatory mechanisms. These topics were discussed at the 6th Jenner Glycobiology and Medicine meeting. This meeting received a European Commission Education grant (No. HPCF-2002-00250).
