Immunogenetics. Its Application to Clinical Medicine

construction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality

like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...

Visualization and its Application to Medicine

This paper provides an introduction to the field of Information Visualization (IV) and a discussion of its application to medical systems. More specifically, it aims at: (i) defining what IV is and what are its goals, (ii) highlighting the similarities and differences between IV and traditional medical imaging, (iii) illustrating the potential of IV for medical applications by examining several...

Immunogenetics Human immunogenetics Editorial overview

Charles Larsen trained as a protein chemist and has studied the biophysics of viral membrane fusion. His current interest is the cellular immunology and genetics of the human nonresponse to hepatitis B vaccine. This interest has broadened to include the relationship between MHC genetic structure and autoimmune phenomena. Abbreviations CEH conserved extended haplotype KIR killer immunoglobulin-l...

Human Immunogenetics. Basic Principles and Clinical Relevance

Human Immunogenetics is one of 46 volumes in a continuing series of books related to specific topics in immunology. This lengthy volume is divided into five major areas of immunogenetics: experimental approaches to immunogenetics, genetics of immunology, the major histocompatibility complex, tumor and viral antigens, and blood and serum components. All chapters are introduced with a basic revie...
