Laboratory Manual For Anatomy And Physiology Featuring Martini Art, Main Version
by Michael WoodThis laboratory manual is designed to serve the lab course that accompanies the two-semester anatomy and physiology lecture course. It provides students with comprehensive coverage of anatomy and physiology, beautiful full-color art and photographs, and an intuitive pedagogical framework. The primary goals of this manual are to provide students with hands-on experiences that reinforce the information they learn in the lecture course and to help them understand three-dimensional relationships, visualize complex structures, and comprehend intricate physiological processes. The manual is written to correspond to all current two-semester anatomy and physiology textbooks, although those students and instructors using Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology, Tenth Edition, by Frederic H. Martini, Judi L. Nath, and Edwin F. Bartholomew will recognize here some of the superb art from that text by William Ober and Claire Garrison, Martini's renowned biomedical illustrators. This sixth edition manual is available in three separate versions. The Main Version covers the full two-semester A&P curriculum, including dissections of the cow eye and of the sheep heart, brain, and kidney. The Cat Version includes all of the same material plus an additional section of nine cat dissection exercises encompassing the major body systems. The Pig Version, similarly, includes all of the material from the Main Version with a separate section of nine fetal pig dissection exercises. The Cat and Pig Versions make the manual more useful to instructors whose students perform animal dissections in the lab. The outstanding dissections and accompanying photographs are by Shawn Miller and Mark Neilsen and I thank each of them for their expertise.

Laboratory Models for Foodborne Infections (Food Microbiology)
by Laszlo Endrenyi Dongyou LiuResulting from ingestion of inappropriately prepared or stored foods containing pathogenic viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites, foodborne infections have become a significant source of human morbidity and mortality worldwide in recent decades. This may be largely attributable to the remarkable popularity of convenient, ready-to-eat food products, the dramatic expansion of international food trades, and the continuing growth of immuno-suppressed population groups. Although anti-microbial treatments have played a crucial part in the control of foodborne infections in the past, the emergence and spread of anti-microbial resistance render the existing treatments ineffective. Additionally, our limited understanding of the molecular mechanisms of foodborne infections has thwarted our efforts in the development of efficacious vaccines for foodborne pathogens. Given the obvious benefits of laboratory models in foodborne disease research, a great number of experiments have been conducted toward the elucidation of host-pathogen interactions in and pathogenic mechanisms of foodborne infections. Forming part of the Food Microbiology series, Laboratory Models for Foodborne Infections presents a state-of-the-art review of laboratory models that have proven valuable in deciphering the life cycle, epidemiology, immunobiology, and other key aspects of foodborne pathogens. Written by scientists with respective expertise in foodborne pathogen research, each chapter includes a contemporary summary of a particular foodborne viral, bacterial, fungal, or parasitic infection in relation to its life cycle, epidemiology, clinical features, pathogenesis, host-pathogen interactions, and other related aspects. Besides providing a trustworthy source of information for undergraduates and postgraduates in food microbiology, Laboratory Models for Foodborne Infections offers an invaluable guide for scientists and food microbiologists with interest in exploiting laboratory models for detailed study of foodborne infections.

Laboratory Tests for the Assessment of Nutritional Status (Modern Nutrition Ser. #21)
by Howerde E. SauberlichProper nutrition is the single most important component of preventative health care. Heart disease, diabetes, and other ailments are all linked to dietary habits. Accurate nutritional assessment can be a matter of life or death. Laboratory Tests for the Assessment of Nutritional Status explores the expanded number of nutrients that can now be evaluated. The author makes a compelling case for the practice and advancement of this critical health care tool. Nutritional assessment identifies undernutrition, overnutrition, specific nutrition deficiencies, and imbalances. Diligent assessment determines the appropriate nutrition intervention and monitors its effects. This book is a total revision of the 1974 version of the same title co -authored by Sauberlich. Since then, remarkable progress has been made on the methodologies applicable to nutrition status assessment and to the expanded number of nutrients that can be evaluated, especially trace elements. The introduction of high-performance liquid chromatography, amperometric detectors, and other technologies has advanced nutritional assessment by leaps and bounds. Today, nutritionists can gauge the value of microminerals, trace elements, and ultratrace elements. Sauberlich's revision updates the reader to the latest and most important trends in nutrition. These laboratory methods for the assessment of nutritional status are vital for identifying individuals as well as populations with nutritional risks.
