Sommario/riassunto

This new volume in the Environmental Health Criteria series provides a framework for the evaluation of the role of chemical risk factors in the development of autoimmune diseases. In addition to a general introduction to autoimmune mechanisms and clinical expression of autoimmune diseases, a discussion of mechanisms of chemical-associated autoimmune responses precedes information on a range of chemical and other agents. Animal models and human testing for autoimmune disease and the application of information in risk assessment are presented. This book will be useful to biology and toxicology s

Sommario/riassunto

""La vida es una piñata te abrirá los ojos para valorar lo que realmente importa en esta celebración llamada vida, incluyendo la gran diferencia entre los valores materiales y los espirituales."" —Dr. César Lozano Seguramente guardas recuerdos divertidos en los que una piñata juega un papel protagónico, momentos en los que nada es más importante



que recoger caramelos y obsequios, pero ¿recuerdas cuál era tu actitud? Ismael Cala utiliza la metáfora de la piñata para abordar las actitudes que tomamos ante los acontecimientos que han marcado nuestra vida, tanto positivos como negativos. Este libro cambiará tu manera de ver la vida, tu mundo, tus ideales, tus paradigmas y tu sentido de propósito. La piñata, como la vida, está llena de situaciones impredecibles, pero tú decides cómo reaccionar ante ellas. Nunca más verás una piñata sin pensar en las grandes metáforas creadas en esta obra.
