Glycobiology and medicine : [proceedings of the Sixth Jenner Glycobiology and Medicine Symposium, held September 14-17, 2002, in Seillac, France

This book contains the Proceedings of the Sixth Jenner Glycobiology and Medicine Symposium, held 14-17 September, 2002, in Seillac, France. This book highlights the latest developments in glycoimmunology, including glycosylation-dependent bacterial and viral infections, lectin and proteoglycan-dependent interactions in leukocyte homing processes to lymphoid tissues and inflamed tissues, congenital defects in glycosylation of glycoproteins and glycolipids, and the role of carbohydrates in tumour development and neuropathology, including Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Visual diagnosis is of particular importance in the recognition of ophthalmological signs and symptoms. This atlas presents more than 750 brilliant photos taken at the University of Cologne's Eye Hospital. The selection of depicted diseases reflects the disorders which the opthalmologist and the general practioner must be prepared to see with in clinical practice, including tropical diseases of the eye. The exquisite quality of the photos and the anatomical drawings at the beginning of each chapter combine with comprehensive captions and a color thumb index to make this atlas an outstanding reference work for clinicians, practioners and students alike.
