4. Immunology of Behcet's Disease
Product Description Behçet's Disease (BD) is one of the most-studied systemic disorders characterized by an occlusive vasculopathy of multiple organs. The etiology and pathogenesis of BD are still unclear, but there is evidence for genetic, immunologic and infectious factors in the onset and throughout the course of the disease. Immunology of Behçet's Disease highlights various aspects of BD. After an epidemiological overview, the clinical presentation of ocular and non-ocular symptoms of BD are summarized. The immunopathological changes reflect a chronic vasculitis of arterioles, venules and capillaries. The role of T-cells, but also of NK-T-cells, secreted cytokines and neutrophils is covered. For years microorganisms have been under investigation as initiating BD and, in particular, immune reactions against various microbial heat shock proteins could be an important etiological factor. It has been shown that the pathogenic gene involved in the development of BD is pinpointed to HLA-B51. Finally, the treatment of BD is discussed in detail, including new options like anti-TNF-alpha-antibodies and interferon-alpha. Immunology of Behçet's Disease summarizes our knowledge regarding the most important factors that induce or trigger BD and will stimulate research in the field and help to initiate new ideas. ...

6. Behcet's Disease by Bertrand Wechsler
Product Description The above mentioned conference was hosted in Paris, following on from the Mayo Clinic. Behçet's disease remains mysterious, despite the increasing interest of researchers, reflected in the 200 communications selected for this publication. Numerous previously held beliefs about the disease are disputed or contradicted, following on from the conference. For example, the disease was previously described as a disease limited to the Mediterranean basin, whereas it is in fact omnipresent, as is demonstrated by papers from more than 20 countries across the globe. Described as being seven times more likely to affect men, in fact the disease afflicts women more often in epidemiological surveys and takes a more minor form. Behçet's disease can begin in childhood, even though it was believed to be a disease of young adults. In spite of the absence of biologic or histologic markers, Behçet's disease has international classification cri ... Read more |

If you've never done any medical research on the Internet, then you might find this book useful. There are listings of health-related web sites, and info on accessing medical search engines. But there's also a lot of "padding" in the 52-page Appendices (which is almost half the book): sections on how to use the web to research whatever medications your doctor has prescribed; an overview of good nutrition; a section on how to find medical libraries in your area; and info on "your rights as a patient" and how to choose a medical insurance plan. The creators of this medical series have come up with a great marketing/publishing idea by putting out books about diseases that most people have never heard of -- I just wish this book actually contributed to the BEHCET'S literature.
