Vascular Responses to Pathogens focuses on the growing research from leaders in the field for both the short and long-term impact of pathogens on the vasculature. It discusses various organisms, including bacteria, parasites, and viruses, and their role in key events leading to vascular disease.
Formatted to discuss the topic of the interaction of pathogens with the vascular rather than individual diseases described separately, this reference demonstrates that common mechanisms are at play in many different diseases because they have a similar context, their vasculature.
This all-inclusive reference book is a must-have tool for researchers and practicing clinicians in the areas of vascular biology, microvasculature, cardiology, and infectious disease.

Dr. Gavins is a pharmacologist whose research interest focuses on developing anti-inflammatory strategies that promote resolution of inflammation following ischemia reperfusion injury (I/RI) in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. She is specifically interested in the role of the microvasculature as a dynamic-interface between circulating blood- and immune-cells, lymphatics and tissue. Her group studies how circulating cells communicate, adhere and migrate across endothelial borders, along with investigating how circulating and resident cells can render systemic inflammatory responses and alter local inflammatory and thrombotic states. More recently Dr. Gavins has expanded her research to also cover microvascular dysfunction in the setting of organ transplantation, as evidenced by enhanced solute barrier function failure, neutrophil recruitment and endothelial damage.
Dr. Stokes major area of research is the inflammatory impact of cytomegalovirus on the microvasculature. Her diverse research team is comprised of post-doctoral scientists and students, with an international reputation. Their research crosses the boundaries between Integrative Physiology and Pharmacology and uses multidisciplinary approaches to advance understanding of the vascular physiology and pathophysiology of inflammatory and related disorders, at the molecular, cellular, tissue and whole organism levels. In particular she and her team focus on the microcirculation, studying leukocyte trafficking and endothelial dysfunction in both the brain and the periphery.

Hardcover. Condizione: Good+. 1st Edition. Oversized hardcover, xi + 239 pages, NOT ex-library. Weight 930g. Interior is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Boards show scuffed tips of corners, small indentations, shelfwear. Issued without a dust jacket. -- The book offers a detailed and comprehensive exploration of the interactions between the vascular system and pathogenic organisms. It is an essential resource for researchers, clinicians, and students in the fields of vascular biology, immunology, microbiology, and infectious diseases, providing in-depth insights into how blood vessels respond to infectious agents. The vascular system is not just a passive conduit for blood flow but plays an active role in the body's defense mechanisms against pathogens. This book compiles contributions from leading experts to cover the latest research and developments in understanding these complex processes. Key topics covered in this book include: - Vascular Biology Fundamentals (an overview of the vascular system's structure and function, including detailed descriptions of endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and the extracellular matrix); - Pathogen Interaction (examination of how various pathogens - such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites - interact with the vascular system; this section delves into mechanisms of vascular invasion, immune evasion, and pathogen-induced vascular damage); - Inflammatory and Immune Responses (insights into the vascular inflammatory response to pathogens, highlighting the roles of cytokines, chemokines, and other mediators in regulating vascular permeability, leukocyte recruitment, and coagulation); - Host Defense Mechanisms (discussion on how the innate and adaptive immune responses are coordinated through the vascular system, emphasizing the interaction between immune cells and vascular components in combating infections); - Clinical Implications (exploration of vascular responses in various clinical settings, such as sepsis, endocarditis, and viral hemorrhagic fevers; this section addresses how vascular responses influence disease progression and patient outcomes); - Therapeutic Strategies (review of current and emerging therapeutic approaches aimed at modulating vascular responses to improve the management of infectious diseases; this includes pharmacological interventions, biological agents, and other innovative treatments). Richly illustrated with diagrams, micrographs, and clinical images, "Vascular Responses to Pathogens" enhances the understanding of complex concepts. Each chapter is written by experts in their respective fields, ensuring that the content is both authoritative and accessible. This book is a vital resource for anyone involved in studying or treating infectious diseases. It provides a comprehensive understanding of how the vascular system responds to pathogenic threats, offering valuable insights for research, clinical practice, and the development of new therapeutic strategies. Whether you are a researcher aiming to uncover the mechanisms of vascular responses to pathogens, a clinician looking for the latest insights on infectious disease management, or a student seeking to deepen your knowledge in this critical area, "Vascular Responses to Pathogens" is an indispensable guide.
