El uso de inmunoterapia para el tratamiento de neoplasias tanto sólidas como hematológicas es extenso. Los inhibidores del punto de control inmunitario en particular han demostrado ser promisorios en el tratamiento del melanoma, cáncer pulmonar no microcítico y otros tipos de cáncer. La mayor parte de los eventos adversos relacionados con el sistema inmunitario asociados con estos fármacos son leves a moderados, pero en ocasiones también se informan eventos adversos graves que ocasionalmente ponen en riesgo la vida. El manejo eficaz de los eventos adversos relacionados con el sistema inmunitario requiere un reconocimiento temprano, así como de la intervención pronta con esteroides, inmunosupresión y/o estrategias inmunomoduladoras apropiadas para el órgano afectado y la gravedad de la toxicidad. También es esencial educar a los pacientes sobre el potencial y el reconocimiento de estos eventos adversos. Con las inmunoterapias volviéndose cada vez más frecuentes y los profesionales de la salud familiarizándose más con los beneficios de combinar estrategias de inmunoterapia, surge una necesidad apremiante de contar con una guía para reconocer y manejar los eventos adversos relacionados con el sistema inmunitario que puedan surgir. Este recurso proporciona una revisión general de inmunooncología y una actualización sobre los inhibidores del punto de control inmunitario y sus toxicidades relacionadas, junto con los principios de diagnóstico y manejo de los eventos adversos relacionados con el sistema inmunitario, consideraciones importantes sobre el cuidado de enfermería y una serie de resúmenes de manejo convenientes para referencia rápida. Como tal, es una lectura esencial para todos los miembros del equipo de atención oncológica. Indice: • Inmunoterapia y sus efectos secundarios: una revisión general • Eventos adversos gastrointestinales y hepáticos • Eventos adversos dermatológicos • Eventos adversos relacionados con el sistema endocrino • Eventos adversos pulmonares • Eventos adversos menos frecuentes • Optimización de la atención al paciente y reconocimiento temprano de eventos adversos relacionados con el sistema inmunitario • Resúmenes de manejo

Bananas and plantains are among the most important food and cash crops in the world. They are cultivated in more than 135 countries, across the tropics and subtropics, with an annual global production of ca. 130 million metric tonnes. Though bananas are one of the most important components of food security in many developing countries, banana production is threatened by both abiotic and biotic stresses. These include a wide range of diseases and pests, such as bunchy top virus, burrowing nematodes, black Sigatoka or black leaf streak, Fusarium wilt, etc. In recent years, considerable progress has been made and several biotechnological and genomic tools have been employed to help understand and unravel the mysterious banana genome. Molecular and genomic studies have helped to decipher the Musa genome and its evolution. Genetic linkage map and whole genome sequencing of both Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana (progenitors of cultivated banana) have completely changed the way of thinking and the approach on banana crop improvement. Whole-genome sequencing has helped to improve the selection of quantitative traits such as yield, as well as the selection of optimal parents for developing required hybrids in breeding programs. Gene isolation and the analysis of mutants have helped in the characterization of genes of agronomic value and the associated regulatory sequences. With the advent of molecular markers and new statistical tools, it is now possible to measure the diversity, identify genes and useful alleles linked to important agronomic traits. Further these alleles can be incorporated into cultivars through marker assisted selection or through transgenic approach. Transgenic approaches are potential tools for direct transfer of these genes into popular cultivars, which are generally not amenable for conventional breeding techniques, in specific with crops such as bananas which are sterile, triploid and heterozygous thereby making it difficult to reconstruct the recurrent genotypes in banana. Transgenic techniques thus have helped overcome the difficulty of working with sterile, triploid banana crop. In the last five years, enormous amount of new information and techniques have been generated for banana. A comprehensive book entitled “Banana: Genomics and Transgenic Approaches for Genetic improvement” on banana genomics, latest transgenic technologies and tools available for improved crop development in banana will address all these requirements.

The prevalence of eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia nervosa is growing, and these disorders are affecting adolescents and young adults at increasingly younger ages. This has led to a greater number of patients presenting to health services. Although novel therapeutic approaches have been introduced in recent decades, the mortality rates of patients with anorexia and bulimia nervosa remain alarmingly high. The course of anorexia nervosa in particular is often chronic and can lead to persistent disability. This book covers the clinical features and symptoms, neurobiology, pathophysiology, and current and potential future treatment options for both anorexia and bulimia nervosa. It also highlights the important aspects of support for families and their perspectives on these disorders.

The Protective Arm of the Renin Angiotensin System: Functional Aspects and Therapeutic Implications is the first comprehensive publication to signal the protective role of a distinct part of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS), providing readers with early insight into a complex system which will become of major medical importance in the near future. Focusing on recent research, The Protective Arm of the Renin Angiotensin System presents a host of new experimental studies on specific components of the RAS, namely angiotensin AT2 receptors (AT2R), the angiotensin (1–7) peptide with its receptor Mas, and the enzyme ACE 2, which exert significant beneficial, health-promoting actions by counterbalancing the well-known harmful arm of the RAS with its classical angiotensin AT1 receptor. This innovative concept of the protective arm of the RAS, examined in this reference, represents an indispensable background and will be a strong support for biomedical students, researchers, cardiologists, surgeons, nephrologists, diabetologists, and endocrinologists, as well as any other physician or researcher concerned with RAS physiology, pathophysiology and clinical implications. Provides a complete understanding of the protective side of the Renin Angiotensin System (RAS) involving angiotensin AT2 receptor, ACE2, and Ang(1-7)/Mas receptor Combines the knowledge of editors who pioneered research on the protective renin angiotensin system including; Dr. Thomas Unger, one of the founders of AT2 receptor research; Dr. Ulrike M. Steckelings, who contributed significantly to first preclinical studies with a novel specific AT2-agonist, and Dr. Robson Santos who pioneered research on angiotensin-(1-7) and its receptor Mas. Shows that the protective RAS axes are able to ameliorate the course of several cardiovascular, renal, metabolic and neurological diseases Provides the basis for the understanding of a novel therapeutic approach to stimulate components of the protective arm of the RAS.
