About this title

Synopsis

This book provides comprehensive coverage of every aspect of inflammation, ranging from the cellular and humoral components of the inflammatory process to the pathogenesis of various clinical syndromes and the clinical experience with new anti-inflammatory drugs. This second edition includes a new section on cytokines and a section on responses to inflammation which examines wound healing, angiogenesis and heat shock proteins. The section on clinical syndromes features a new chapter on atherogenesis, an in-depth discussion of asbestosis as a model of chronic inflammation inducing neoplasia, and information on the effects of viruses on phagocyte.
