Bacterial Physiology : A Molecular Approach
The application of new molecular methodologies in the study of bacterial behaviour and cell architecture has enabled new revolutionary insights and discoveries in these areas. While this has also raised a number of scientific mysteries about bacteria, it certainly improved our understanding of these organisms as complex and adaptive entities rather than just simple tiny buckets of enzymes. The value of this recent knowledge in bacterial physiology is not only restricted to fundamental biology, but it also extends to biotechnology and drug-discovery disciplines where understanding cell behaviour and structure is essential for better exploitation of useful bacteria and effective eradication of harmful ones. This makes a new text accommodating recent developments in bacterial physiology highly relevant to a wide range of readership including those interested in basic and applied knowledge.

Artrite reumatoide e spondiloentesoartriti : Diagnostica per immagini e imaging follow-up = Rheumatoid Arthritis and Spondyloentesoarthritis : Follow-up imaging and imaging
Recent technological evolutions in diagnostic imaging have allowed him to grasp the anatomical and functional alterations that characterize the onset phase of degenerative and inflammatory arthropathies. In the context of the latter, in particular, imaging is not only fundamental in the diagnosis of the early stage of arthritis but also in defining their evolution and response to modern therapeutic treatment. The evaluation of a new imaging semeiology, which makes considerable use of the use of contrast medium in relation to both power Doppler and magnetic resonance imaging, has made it possible to narrow the gap between histology and imaging in rheumatological diagnostics.
