Leprosy remains one of the biggest public health problems in many countries. It is a complex disease in several aspects, including clinical, histopathological, and molecular. This book is written to help different professionals (medical students, physicians, pathologists, researchers, and others) who handle this disease daily or are interested in it to understand the disease from the perspective of pathology. The histopathological characteristics of leprosy throughout its spectrum, reaction phenomena, and clinical presentation types are crucial for understanding the pathophysiology of the disease and guiding clinical conduct and research accordingly.
The book Histopathological Diagnosis of Leprosy is organized into eight sequential chapters that allow the readers to gradually immerse themselves in different histopathological aspects of leprosy. The clinical features discussed are accompanied by corresponding histopathological images presented as photo panels, along with
By applying mass spectrometry, scientists at the University of Copenhagen provide some of the most detailed data on how mitochondrial proteins cluster into supercomplexes - a process that makes mitochondria more efficient at producing energy. The findings, which were published in Cell Reports, is a precious resource for the scientific community, especially those tackling mitochondrial adaptations to exercise training or mitochondrial diseases.

A supersensitised brain connection has been identified in people who suffer from misophonia, an extreme reaction to trigger sounds.
For the first time, researchers led by Newcastle University, have discovered increased connectivity in the brain between the auditory cortex and the motor control areas related to the face, mouth and throat.
Publishing today, in the
Journal of Neuroscience, lead author Dr Sukhbinder Kumar, Newcastle University Research Fellow in the Biosciences Institute said: Our findings indicate that for people with misophonia there is abnormal communication between the auditory and motor brain regions - you could describe it as a supersensitised connection .
E-Mail Head and Neck Cancer: Hallmarks of The Inflammation Ecosystem aims to highlight the significant roles of inflammation in head and neck malignancy. This entails the screening, diagnosis, treatment as well as follow-up schemes of head and neck cancer patients. Now, we know that the inflammation is the 7th hallmark of malignancy, and it has intimate relationship with the development and promotion of carcinogenesis, dictates the behavior of cancer and may be responsible for recurrent and metastatic disease.
Inflammation is significant, and the scope of this book is wide and encompasses all critical issues faced by clinicians, researchers, students, and other health-related personnel in managing head and neck malignancies. The book provides details on inflammation and its interaction in an ecosystem. Myriads of newly emerging inflammatory markers are interacting within a cohesive system in promoting carcinogenesis, tumor recurrent and metastases. Understanding these exquisite
