Handbook of Human Stress and Immunity
In 1964, George Solomon coined the term psychoneuroimmunology. Medical books Handbook of Human Stress and Immunity. In the intervening 30 years, this term has emerged into a dynamic field of study which investigates the unique interactions between the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems. The Handbook of Human Stress and Immunity is a comprehensive reference for this dynamic new field. Focusing on how stressors impact the central nervous system and the resulting changes in immune responses, the Handbook is the first to describehow stress specifically affects human immune systems. It discusses how stress generally makes people more susceptible to infection, how personal support systems can counteract the physiological effects of stress, and how stress, or lack of stress, affects the aging process Medical books Handbook of Human Stress and Immunity. by Ronald Glaser - Elsevier Science (1994) - Hardback - ISBN 012285960X 9780122859601

Combining basic explanations of laboratory tests with 115 tables full of reference data and applications, the Handbook of Human Immunology provides practicing clinicians with a current, complete guide to molecular immunology. Introductory chapters overview the molecular basis of immune responses and immunological disorders, focusing on the role of cell receptors, accessory molecules, and cytokines in these processes. The basic principles underlying assays of the immune system are discussed, and the book stresses the application and interpretation of immune tests. Author: Leffell, Mary S., Donn
Stress has its roots at the very essence of life, and has caused more suffering and diminishment of the human spirit than any other affliction. The stress-disease epidemic of our times confronts us both with the financial cost and political issues around obtaining and dealing with health and our health-care systems. Stress has become a part of our everyday existence. This handbook addresses the medical and scientific aspects of the effects of stress on our immune system and bodies and explores the importance of breathing properly, and Qi in nutrition. The importance of boosting the immune syst
"This is an important book about the scientific study of stress and human adaptation. It brings together both empirical data and theoretical developments that address the fundamental question of how psychosocial variables get inside the body to influence neurobiological processes that culminate in physical disease." -David C. Glass, PhD Emeritus Professor of Psychology Stony Brook University (From the Foreword) Edited by two leading health psychologists, The Handbook of Stress Science presents a detailed overview of key topics in stress and health psychology.

Chapters are authored by the leading names in the field and cover such diseases as autoimmune disease, viral pathogenesis, herpes, HIV, and AIDS.
