Compiled by an international team of nephrologists, this reference covers a wide variety of clinical, regional, and research issues related to the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of kidney disease in ethnic populations-exploring current prevention strategies, treatment outcomes, and education and training practices in Africa, South America, Asia, as well as China, India, Pakistan, and Russia. This reference also addresses specific issues pertinent to the renal healthcare of ethnic minorities in the United States, Europe, and Australia.

Understanding the Pandemic: Pathophysiology, Transmission, and Treatment of COVID-19 aims to cover all aspects of COVID-19 infection from the virus, transmission, pathogenesis, immune-inflammation response, systemic injury, organ damage, associated factors, and comorbidities that drive mortality. Organized into ten sections, the book aims to provide a comprehensive examination of the impact of COVID-19. The book begins a review of coronaviruses, their structure and mechanism of action. The book goes on to discuss the immune response to the virus and its effect on various organs. It examines clinical cases based on an observations and postmortem studies.Other topics include the long-term effects of COVD-19, vaccines, and public health response.

Discusses coronavirus and their similarities and differences in origin and transmission as well as a review of their structure and mechanisms of actionExamines the immune-inflammation responses to COVID-19 and the organ-specific impact of the diseaseCovers vaccines and other treatment protocols and public health responses in various geographic locations

This title provides a state-of-the-art summary of immunosuppressive strategies in transplantation, with emphasis on the basic science mechanisms and clinical applicability of these strategies. It includes up-to-date information on the basic mechanisms of actions of the immunosuppressive drugs as well as a summary of the clinical trials data and the potential use of these drugs in clinical organ transplantation. In addition to describing the various immunosuppressive strategies, the book has three special features, including immunosuppression in xenotransplantation, gene therapy approaches, and transplantation tolerance. A group of investigators have been assembled to write the chapters. The book is intended for the transplant professional and the specialist who wants to stay abreast of the current status of immunosuppression in organ transplantation. The book should also be useful for basic scientists who work in the field of transplantation immunology.
