Books about Antiviral from Amazon.com

In 1900 only a handful of drugs (morphine, quinine, aspirin etc) had genuine efficacy and recovery from infections was haphazard Now there are literally thousands of drugs and life-threatening infections have been either overcome or much diminished.

Life-saving Drugs: the Elusive Magic Bullet describes the discovery and development of antibacterial, anti-viral and anti-cancer drugs. The book highlights the colourful characters behind the inventions and the huge improvements in quality of life and life-expectancy that these drugs have produced.

Emphasis is given to the new drugs that have emerged as a result of knowledge of the human genome, and the ways in which the newer drugs are being designed to tackle disease, particularly cancer, at the genetic level. Chemical structures are provided for all of the key drugs and the book is well illustrated.

Life-saving Drugs: the Elusive Magic Bullet can be read as a history of drug development during the past 100 years by those with only a passing knowledge of chemistry. For anyone entering the medical profession, pharmacy, or nursing, it will provide a superb basic knowledge of all drugs they are ever likely to meet, including their modes of action. For the chemist or medicinal chemist, it will provide the fundamental knowledge of life-saving drugs that they all should know. And for the non-scientist who wants to know about 'super-bugs', SARS, Ebola, and all of the wonderful advances in treating cancer, it is illuminating and easy to read.

Are viruses the key to understanding this mysterious, devastating disease?

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) causes great suffering, not least because its etiology is so poorly understood. Treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in the Antiviral Revolution Era offers proof that viruses may be direct or indirect causes of the disease. Therefore the new antiviral agents, the first fruits of the expanding genomics revolution, may be of use in treating this disorder.

In recent years, innovative hypotheses on disease have challenged conventional medical wisdom. New studies give powerful evidence that pathological processes as diverse as atherosclerosis and autoimmune disease may be of viral origin. Treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in the Antiviral Revolution Era takes these ideas a step further and applies them to CFS, offering fresh possibilities for treating this debilitating disease.

This breakthrough book presents the latest research on antiviral agents, including:

• the scientific rationale for their use in CFS
• the historical evolution of these drugs
• results of clinical trials
• new lines of research

It also offers updates on specific drugs and treatments, including:

• Acyclovir, Ampligen, Imunovir (Inosine Pranobex), and 2CVV
• vaccines against Epstein-Barr virus, influenza, staphylococcus, and stealth virus
• Interferon-Alpha
• ginseng and other herb-based antivirals . . . and many more!

Treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in the Antiviral Revolution Era is an essential resource for physicians, researchers, virologists, and patient advocates, as well as for anyone who is trying to obtain the best possible treatment for CFS..

Experienced scientists describe-in an easily-followed format-their state-of-the-art techniques for evaluating antiviral compounds The assays described include systems for investigating drugs used against herpesviruses, hepatitis viruses, human immunodeficiency viruses, human papillomaviruses, and influenza viruses. These well-tested methods range from cellular assays to some of the most up-to-date molecular approaches for identifying compounds that are active against viral enzymes and the development of viral resistance against drugs currently in use. Timely and comprehensive, Antiviral Methods and Protocols offers today's researchers in academia, clinical departments, and the pharmaceutical industry the powerful, reproducible, and novel methods needed to evaluate compounds effective against both acute and chronic infections..

Robert Slade is one of the foremost experts in the field of virus research He regularly posts messages in the comp.virus newsgroup and has been instrumental in helping to sort out much of the confusion and misinformation surrounding self-replicating programs. This guide to computer viruses is the most clear and comprehensive text available on the subject. In addition to his background, history, and theory of computer viruses, Slade focuses on their practical elimination. The appendices include an informative FAQ, comparative reviews of the major--and some of the minor--anti-virus software, and a terrific glossary. Slade is a crusader for the thoughtful dissemination of the complexities of computer viruses and the dispelling of dangerous rumors. For those who are looking to resolve an immediate viral attack on their system, turn to chapter 2, "A Beginner's Panic Guide to Viral Programs." He also includes a companion disk with his favorite public domain anti-virus software for both the Macintosh and the PC..

Antiviral Drug Discovery gives readers a cutting-edge view of how chemical concepts are being mobilized to develop novel approaches that will effectively confront emerging diseases and biowarfare. Among the many topics discussed are smallpox, the Ebola virus, influenza, SARS, arenaviruses and flaviviruses. Each chapter discusses hypothetical strategies for the discovery of relevant antiviral agents, recent findings related to biochemistry or drug discovery, and advances in the further development of established leads in the area. Timely and informative, this book clearly delineates the efforts being made to develop new and effective broad-spectrum antiviral agents..
