Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over recent years, native pentameric C-reactive protein (pCRP) and its biologically active dissociated form, monomer monomeric CRP (mCRP) have assumed an important role in disease development and pathophysiology. In this series, we have highlighted the thoughts and research of the most eminent scientists in the field of CRP research. This eBook is a collection of original articles and reviews on the subject, creating an archive of current knowledge and understanding. This Research Topic provides new findings of the role of CRP in the fields of neuroscience, cardiovascular disease, inflammation, and macular degeneration as well as defined links to stages in pathological disease progression. These articles explain the mechanisms and pathways through which the dissociated mCRP interacts with a variety of cells, and provide possible prognostic implications and new methods for analysis. Over the coming years, the importance and fascination of the active role of CRP in health and disease is set to rise, and we hope this collection will serve as a valuable reference for these future investigations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comprehensive study of C-reactive protein (CRP) belonging to the pentraxin family, including a brief history of CRP, its structure, synthesis and evolution. Focusing on the emerging role of CRP and its clinical application in the field of disease biology, it details the pathophysiological role of CRP in a host of diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancers, rheumatoid arthritis and infectious diseases and others. It also discusses the role of innate immunity and acute phase response (APR) and their key mediators in the host body in response to tissue injury, infection, trauma or surgery, immunological disorders or neoplastic growth. CRP’s significance in inflammation is highlighted, and its importance as a clinical marker in cardiovascular disease, its functional significance in Leishmania and Plasmodium infections, its association with the development of insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes mellitus, and its role in cancer are discussed in detail. The book also includes clinical data studies and presents the latest research advances to further readers’ understanding of CRP.

This book was released on 2010-03-03 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bacterial Infections of the Central Nervous System aims to provide information useful to physicians taking care of patients with bacterial infections in the central nervous system (CNS), which can lead to morbidity and mortality. The increased number of patients suffering from this infection has led to the development of vaccines and antibiotics. Comprised of four chapters, the book explains the general approach to patients with bacterial CNS infection. It also discusses various CNS infection concepts and terms. These include the characteristic neuroimaging appearance of specific bacterial infections, the limitations of neuroimaging, the cerebrospinal fluid analysis, the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of bacterial CNS infections, the developments of specific adjunctive strategies, and the principles of antimicrobial therapy. It also includes discussions on various diseases that target the CNS, such as meningitis, focal CNS infections, neurological complications of endocarditis, suppurative venous sinus thrombosis, infections in the neurosurgical patient, and CNS diseases caused by selected infectious agents and toxins. This book will serve as a guide for clinical physicians who have patients suffering from bacterial CNS infection.
