- Abstract
- This text provides a comprehensive, up-to-date review of chimerism. The first part of the volume presents the causes of chimerism, specifically focusing on fertilization and early embryonic errors, pregnancy and multiple gestations, and transplantation and transfusion. The second part of the volume outlines clinical identification and consequences of chimerism. Chapters in this section focus on the effects of chimerism on testing in relationship determination and forensics, prenatal genetic testing and screening, and blood and HLA typing. This part also reviews new data concerning matching donors and recipients for transplantation, while outlining the risks of transplantation, such as graft-vs-host disease and passenger lymphocyte syndrome. Additionally, evidence on the role of chimerism in autoimmune disease and cancer is presented. Written by experts in the field, Chimerism: A Clinical Guide is a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers that will help guide patient management and stimulate investigative efforts.

- Part I. Causes of Chimerism in Humans -- Fertilization and Early Embryonic Errors -- Pregnancy and Multiple Gestations -- Transplantation and Transfusion -- Part II. Clinical Identification and Consequences of Chimerism -- Relationship Testing and Forensics -- Prenatal Genetic Testing and Screening -- Blood Typing Discrepancies -- Hematopoietic Stem Cell Donor Selection and Graft-Versus-Host Disease -- Passenger Lymphocyte Syndrome -- Chimerism: A Clinical Guide to Tolerance Induction -- Autoimmune Disease -- Cancer.

- Abstract
- This stimulating volume uses multiple lenses to analyze the complex causes of health disparities affecting minorities, in particular African Americans, and explains how this knowledge can be used to reduce their destructive effects. Pinpointing genetic, non-genetic, and epigenetic factors underlying health conditions common to the population--including heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and cancer--the author traces intricate links among these factors in the current environmental and social context. The section on non-genetic factors in health disparities, such as social determinants and health behaviors, adds depth to the ongoing discourse on public health and health policy objectives. And the chapters on gene/environment interactions outline the vast potential for developing new multidisciplinary frontiers in shrinking health inequities and personalizing care. Included in the coverage: The African diaspora and disease-specific disparities; The genetic basis to health disparities; The role of epigenetics; Economic factors and health; Psychological issues and how they affect disparities; Gene-environment interactions in health disparities; Race, a biological or social concept. Compelling and accessible, Health Outcomes in a Foreign Land will challenge and inspire medical students, epidemiologists, public health professionals, biomedical research scientists, and social scientists to go farther in their work. A wider audience would include policymakers, government officials, nurses, physicians, lawyers, economists, community outreach investigators, and interested general readers.
