SARS is an acronym for Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) which is a viral respiratory illness that was recognised as a global threat in March 2003, after first appearing in Southern China in November 2002. The illness usually begins with a high fever (measured temperature greater than 100.4 F [>38.0 C]). The fever is sometimes associated with chills or other symptoms, including headache, general feeling of discomfort, and body aches.

This book aims to bridge the gap between two types of publications on the subject of nephrology : at one end, huge multi-author reference books with exhaustive bibliographies, and at the other end, handbooks or lecture notes which are too brief and too concise. The emphasis in this volume is clinical, and the entire field of nephrology is covered. Updated information essential to the understanding and practice of general nephrology, dialysis, and kidney transplantation is included, and presented at a level that is appropriate to medical undergraduates, general physicians, and nephrologists in

In this edited book, we highlight the central players in the Bionanotechnology field, which are the nanostructures and biomolecules. The book starts by describing how nanostructures are synthesized and by describing the wide variety of nanostructures available for biological research and applications. Also shown are the techniques used to synthesize a wide variety of biological molecules. Next, there is a focus on the assembly of nanostructures with biological molecules, which could lead to the design of multi-functional nanosystems. In the following chapters, examples of the unique properties
