	Z718335	Bladder Cancer
	Z718920	Cardiovascular System	Normal cardiovascular function requires the concerted action of many cell types, each capable of adaptive gene expression in response to developmental, physiological, and pathological cues. The genetic basis of cardiovascular function, development, and disease is an area of intense investigation, in the hope of significant insights into the heart and vessels? basic workings and improvements in diagnosis and therapy. This latest volume in a prestigious book series presents a remarkable survey of current progress in these efforts, through the contributions of over fifty of the world's leading investigators. Sections are devoted to angiogenesis, cardiogenesis, homeostasis, development, vascular biology, and cardiovascular repair and therapy. The book is an essential source of ideas, discoveries, and references for clinical scientists and physicians interested in basic cardiac biology, hypertension, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and heart failure.

	C8735	Clinical Diagnosis and Management by Laboratory Methods, 20th ed.	Here's the revised, expanded, and updated new edition of the "gold standard" in laboratory medicine. Readers will find comprehensive, integrated scientific guidance for diagnosis and clinical management as well as disease prevention and health promotion. It retains its focus on medical and laboratory problem-solving, while enabling readers to develop a clear understanding of the order and sequence of lab tests, as well as the interpretation of results, and incorporates the most current laboratory and diagnostic methods in use today.
	Z704342	Human Nervous System, 6th ed.	Authors take advantage of recent advances in neurobiology and molecular biology to include new coverage of such critical discoveries as stem cells, apoptosis, role of the amygdala in stress, and significance of dendritic spines. Among the core topics are pain and pain pathways, the visual system, development and growth of the nervous system, the chemical senses of smell and taste, and the limbic system. There is also fresh material on neuronal stem cells, the auditory and vestibular systems, neurotransmitters as the chemical messengers of certain brain circuits, the cerebellum, and lesions of the spinal nerves, spinal cord, and brainstem. The superb illustrations are designed to extract and visually highlight the essence of the neuroanatomical features embedded in the complexities of the nervous system.
	Z718319	Lymphoma	Molecular techniques have provided remarkable insights into the natural history of lymphoid tumors and now suggest novel experimental approaches to their treatment. This volume, designed for both the physician and the clinical scientist, reviews the pathogenesis and diagnosis of the major types of lymphoma and concludes with accounts of promising therapeutic approaches involving gene therapy, antisense nucleic acid, and targeted, specific antibodies.
	Z306290	Medical Virology: A Practical Approach	Like other biomedical sciences, medical virology has undergone a revolution of diagnostic and scientific approaches through the advent of molecular biological techniques. Developing and maintaining an appropriate mixture of classical and molecular techniques for viral analysis is one of the challenges of medical virology today, and this volume addresses these issues. Topics covered include a broad description of "classical" techniques in viral diagnosis, nucleic acid detection by extraction and hybridization, use of the polymerase chain reaction, the application of various molecular techniques to aspects of the epidemiology of virus infections, and the principles and practical approaches to the analysis of viral evolution.
	Z718394	Precancer: Biology, Importance and Possible Prevention
	Z705926	Principles of Molecular Medicine 2nd ed.	This fully updated edition provides an integrated survey of the basic principles of internal medicine, in light of recent dramatic discoveries in molecular medicine and new technologies for the diagnosis and treatment of human disease. In addition to fully revised sections on neurology, cardiology, hematology, nephrology, endocrinology, dermatology, immunology, gastroenterology, pulmonary disease, musculoskeletal medicine, and psychiatry, this volume contains new sections on genetics, oncology, metabolic diseases, and infectious diseases. These sections include the latest findings about direct links between genetic mutations and diseases, genomic approaches to a variety of diseases, and stem cell populations that regenerate muscle, heart, and neural cell populations. Other advances elucidated include the roles of bone morphogenetic proteins in pulmonary hypertension and mutations involved in an array of cardiomyopathies.
	Z730572	Stedman’s Medical Dictionary 28th ed.	The 28th Edition has been thoroughly reviewed and updated to make this dictionary the most reliable resource available for healthcare, including medical students, physicians, educators, researchers, and medical language specialists. This new edition includes over 107,000 terms and definitions, more than 5,000 new to this edition. Over 45 consultants from all the major medical and health science specialties have reviewed each word for accuracy and clarity, including new consultants for the specialties of endocrinology, gastroenterology, geriatrics, and rheumatology. The art program has also been extensively enhanced and now includes approximately 1500 images and illustrations.
	Z704946	Textbook of Medical Physiology, 11th ed.	Physiology's classic text continues to uphold its rich tradition -presenting key physiology concepts in a remarkably clear and engaging manner. This textbook covers all of the major systems in the human body, while emphasizing system interaction, homeostasis, and pathophysiology. This thoroughly updated, 11th Edition features a new full-color layout, short chapters, clinical vignettes, and shaded summary tables that allow for easy comprehension of the material.
