Elementos de Genética Médica + StudentConsult


Book Description

Nueva edición de un texto clásico y muy consolidado a través de sus 15 ed cuyo objetivo es sentar las bases de la genética médica a la vez que ofrece un mayor detalle en áreas como la epigenética y la expresión génica, tratados menos frecuentemente en los textos de genética para estudiantes. Sigue la misma filosofía que las ediciones anteriores ya que ofrece un equilibrio perfecto entre la genética como ciencia básica, la genética aplicada a la medicina y la genética clínica. El público objetivo son los estudiantes de Medicina, aunque también es de interés para estudiantes de grado de Genética, Ingeniería genética, Biología, Biotecnología. De forma secudaria el libro puede utilizarse como material de consulta para cursos de postgrado y máster en Genética molecular e ingeniería genética. La nueva edición actualiza todos sus contenidos, aunque especialmente renovadas son las secciones correspondientes a la tecnología del ADN y sus aplicaciones clínicas, la farmacogenética, la inmunogenética y la medicina personalizada a través del patrón genético. El texto incluye acceso a SC.com (en inglés) en el que se encuentran disponibles un banco de preguntas de autoevaluación y casos clínicos. 15a edición rigurosamente actualizada y revisada para incorporar todas las innovaciones de esta disciplina manteniendo el nivel de excelencia de las anteriores. Dividida en tres secciones reestructuradas, que facilitarán a diferentes tipos de lectores diferentes tipos de lectura y consulta: Base científica de la genética humana, Genética en medicina y medicina genómica y Genética clínica, asesoramiento y ética. Texto que constituye una herramienta fundamental para el conocimiento de esta compleja pero esencial disciplina, tanto para estudiantes de Medicina como para posgraduados que deseen mejorar su comprensión y su conocimiento de la genética. Edición original en inglés disponible en Studenconsult.com, lo que proporciona dos libros en uno.

Emery's Elements of Medical Genetics


Book Description

Today's medical student needs to understand the principles of genetics rather than accumulate detailed facts. This text explains the essential themes of medical genetics whilst remaining in control of the developments in this subject.




Science and Empires


Book Description

SCIENCE AND EMPIRES: FROM THE INTERNATIONAL COLLOQUIUM TO THE BOOK Patrick PETITJEAN, Catherine JAMI and Anne Marie MOULIN The International Colloquium "Science and Empires - Historical Studies about Scientific De velopment and European Expansion" is the product of an International Colloquium, "Sciences and Empires - A Comparative History of Scien tific Exchanges: European Expansion and Scientific Development in Asian, African, American and Oceanian Countries". Organized by the REHSEIS group (Research on Epistemology and History of Exact Sciences and Scientific Institutions) of CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research), the colloquium was held from 3 to 6 April 1990 in the UNESCO building in Paris. This colloquium was an idea of Professor Roshdi Rashed who initiated this field of studies in France some years ago, and proposed "Sciences and Empires" as one of the main research programmes for the The project to organize such a colloquium was a bit REHSEIS group. of a gamble. Its subject, reflected in the title "Sciences and Empires", is not a currently-accepted sub-discipline of the history of science; rather, it refers to a set of questions which found autonomy only recently. The terminology was strongly debated by the participants and, as is frequently suggested in this book, awaits fuller clarification.

Occupational Safety and Hygiene


Book Description

Occupational Safety and Hygiene presents selected papers from the International Symposium on Occupational Safety and Hygiene – SHO2013 (Guimarães, Portugal, 14-15 February 2013), which was organized by the Portuguese Society for Occupational Safety and Hygiene (SPOSHO). The contributions from 15 different countries focus on: - Occupational safety - Risk assessment - Safety management - Ergonomics - Management systems - Environmental ergonomics - Physical environments - Construction safety - Human factors The papers included in the book are mainly based on research carried out at universities and other research institutions, but they are also based on practical studies developed by Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) practitioners within their companies. As a result, this book will be useful to get acquainted with the state-of-the-art of the research within the aforementioned domains, as well as with some practical tools and approaches that are currently used by OHS professionals worldwide.
