The Chemical Components of Tobacco and Tobacco Smoke, Second Edition

http://i65.fastpic.ru/big/2014/0806/03/c8e0015864582c43ebfbc47df7ba6003.jpg

The Chemical Components of Tobacco and Tobacco Smoke, Second Edition by Alan Rodgman and Thomas A. Perfetti
English | ISBN: 1466515481 | 2012 | PDF | 2332 pages | 35 MB

Authored by two longtime researchers in tobacco science, The Chemical Components of Tobacco and Tobacco Smoke, Second Edition chronicles the progress made from late 2008 through 2011 by scientists in the field of tobacco science. The book examines the isolation and characterization of each component. 

The Chemical Components of Tobacco and Tobacco Smoke, Second Edition

It explores developments in pertinent analytical technology and results of experimental studies on biological activity, toxicity, and tumorigenicity, including the inhibition of adverse biological activity of one specific tobacco smoke component by another tobacco smoke component.

Adding to the progress reported in the First Edition, the comprehensive Second Edition provides nearly 7,000 references on almost 9,600 components. The authors discuss the controversies over the extrapolation of the biological effect of a specific component administered individually by one route versus its biological effect when the component is in a highly complex mixture and is administered by a different route. They also cite studies in which cigarette design technologies were developed to control the per-cigarette mainstream smoke yield of Federal Trade Commission-defined tar and one or more specific tobacco smoke components of concern.

New in the Second Edition:

Approximately 1,000 newly reported components have been inserted and several dozen duplicates have been deleted from various tables and from the Alphabetical Index

Improved and sharper chemical structures

Insertion of new pertinent references for the components in each of the major chapter tables devoted to a particular functional component

Updated Index organized by the CAS Registry Number listing of the components

Updated discussions in the Introduction and at the beginning of each chapter

A searchable companion CD-ROM containing the 350-page alphabetical Component Index

Authors Alan Rodgman and Thomas A. Perfetti were jointly awarded the 2010 CORESTA (Cooperative Centre for Scientific Research Relative to Tobacco) Prize for their extensive work on documenting the vast literature on the chemical composition of tobacco and tobacco smoke in their original edition.

Endocrinology in Clinical Practice, Second Edition

Endocrinology is a complex specialty that spans a wide range of diseases, disorders, and conditions. The field is now moving toward an increasingly personalized approach to patient management, with a greater focus on mechanisms of disease and biomarkers. Written by internationally renowned specialists, the second edition of Endocrinology in Clinical Practice provides a cutting-edge, problem-orientated approach to the management of clinical problems in endocrinology.

Highlights of the new edition include:
An overview of neuroendocrine disease
Strides made by the identification of aryl hydrocarbon receptor-interacting protein mutations in patients with familial isolated pituitary adenomas
The diverse roles of IGF-I
Changes in diagnostic imaging and the increasing use of positron emission tomography
The rapidly increasing incidence of neuroendocrine tumors and their management
Hereditary primary hyperparathyroidism and multiple endocrine neoplasia
Mechanistic and genomic advances related to disorders of calcium regulation and infertility
The endocrinology of aging
Protocols for pituitary function testingWith complete updates to existing chapters, the second edition also presents new research data, diagnostic techniques, treatment options, and safety concerns related to existing therapies. This edition offers current guidance and scientifically focused information relevant to a range of clinical problems, making it an essential reference for practicing endocrinologists and specialist clinicians.
