توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب کتاب درسی میکروبیولوژی و ایمونولوژی
ویرایش چهارم \"کتاب درسی میکروبیولوژی و ایمونولوژی\" ویرایشی است که به طور گسترده اصلاح شده است، ترکیبی سالم از مطالب قدیمی و جدید. بسیاری از فصول سنتی قدیمی با افزودن اطلاعات جدید همراه با گنجاندن فصول جدید بیشتر در راستای تغییرات مداوم در برنامه درسی و مفاهیم میکروبیولوژی پزشکی حفظ شده است. یادگیری مبتنی بر سندرم و رویکرد مبتنی بر سندرم به بیماری‌های عفونی، همراه با معرفی فصل‌های جدید و اصلاح‌شده حاوی آخرین اطلاعات در این زمینه. این کتاب پوشش گسترده ای از موضوعات اساسی در میکروبیولوژی عمومی و پزشکی ارائه می دهد. این کتاب همچنین بر میکروبیولوژی بالینی با تمرکز ویژه بر رویکرد مبتنی بر سندرم به بیماری‌های عفونی تأکید دارد. این شامل مفاهیم اساسی میکروبیولوژی و همچنین به روز رسانی ها و پیشرفت های اخیر در زمینه میکروبیولوژی پزشکی است. همه مباحث در هفت بخش اصلی گنجانده شده است: میکروبیولوژی عمومی، ایمونولوژی، باکتری شناسی، ویروس شناسی، قارچ شناسی، و میکروبیولوژی کاربردی و بالینی. ماهیت پویای علوم پزشکی با دستورالعمل‌های جدید و روش‌های تشخیصی جدید که وارد عرصه می‌شوند، گنجاندن اطلاعات جدید در هر ویرایش جدید کتاب را ضروری می‌سازد. این جنبه با گنجاندن اطلاعات اخیر در مورد جنبه های مختلف میکروبیولوژی، بیماری های عفونی و ایمونولوژی در ویرایش چهارم کتاب درسی میکروب شناسی و ایمونولوژی مورد بررسی قرار گرفته است که آن را به یکی از معتبرترین و آموزنده ترین کتاب های درسی در میکروبیولوژی پزشکی تبدیل می کند. این کتاب تلاشی است برای اطلاع رسانی و درگیر کردن طیف وسیعی از خوانندگان از جمله دانشجویان پزشکی، اعم از کارشناسی و کارشناسی ارشد، و دستیاران و اساتید. هدف این است که یک کتاب همراه ضروری برای دانشجویان کارشناسی ارشد و پیشرفته و همچنین دانشجویان کارشناسی ارشد میکروبیولوژی پزشکی، میکروبیولوژی عمومی و وابسته، و ایمونولوژی باشد.
توضیحاتی درمورد کتاب به خارجی
The fourth edition of “Textbook of Microbiology and Immunology” is an extensively revised edition , a healthy mixture of the old and the new contents. Many of the old traditional chapters have been retained with addition of new information along with the inclusion of new chapters more in line with the on-going changes in the syllabus and concepts in Medical Microbiology .While doing so, this book has blended the traditional organism-based learning and a syndrome based approach to infectious disease, together with the introduction of new and modified chapters incorporating the latest information in this field. The book provides an extensive coverage of fundamental topics in general and medical microbiology. The book also lays due emphasis on clinical microbiology with special focus on syndrome based approach to infectious diseases. It includes the basic concepts of microbiology as well as the recent updates and developments in the field of medical microbiology. All the topics have been incorporated in seven major sections: General microbiology, Immunology, Bacteriology, Virology, Mycology, and Applied and Clinical Microbiology. The dynamic nature of medical sciences with new guidelines and new diagnostic methods coming into the arena necessitates the incorporation of new information in each new edition of a book. This facet has been addressed with the inclusion of recent information on the various aspects of microbiology, infectious diseases and immunology, in the fourth edition of the Textbook of Microbiology and Immunology ,which makes it one of the most authoritative and informative textbooks in medical microbiology. The book is an effort to inform and engage a wide spectrum of readers including medical students , both undergraduates and postgraduates, and residents, and faculty. It aims to be a must-have companion book for graduate and advanced undergraduate as well as postgraduate students of medical microbiology, general and allied microbiology, and of immunology.
