New insights have emerged over the past several years suggesting that our commensal microflora of the gut is extremely important in regulating physiological and immune functions of the body. Covered are the perturbations of the normal composition of our endogenous microbiota, influenced by diet and genetic predispositions, as well as the mechanisms to produce common disorders such as obesity, diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome, colon cancer, and atherosclerotic vascular diseases. Also explored is the evidence suggesting that predisposition to increasingly common afflictions such as asthma and multiple sclerosis is influenced, in combination with our genetic composition, by early life exposure to environmental microbes and the time of onset of common viral infections. Chapters provide the most recent information on these disorders with regards to epidemiology, current concepts on pathogenesis and mechanisms of their biology, recent research and data on the role of microbes, analysis of their validity, and conclusive remarks and areas for future research.  The Role of Microbes in Common Non-Infectious Diseases is an excellent resource for both physicians and investigators from a broad range of disciplines that will help to stimulate new concepts of disease pathogenesis, and lead to the unraveling of their mechanisms of diseases and to novel treatments. About the Author Ignatius [Bill] Fong is a Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto and he is an author/ editor of 8 previously published books on Infectious Diseases. His research interests include topics in clinical infectious disease, HIV infection, and microbial-induced or -associated atherosclerosis. 410 0$aEmerging Infectious Diseases of the 21st Century ;$v1 606 $aMedical microbiology 606 $aInfectious diseases 606 $aImmunology 606 $aMedical Microbiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B16003 606 $aInfectious Diseases$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33096 606 $aImmunology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B14000 615 0$aMedical microbiology. 615 0$aInfectious diseases. 615 0$aImmunology. 615 14$aMedical Microbiology. 615 24$aInfectious Diseases. 615 24$aImmunology. 676 $a610 676 $a616.9 676 $a616.9041 676 $a616079 700 $aFong$b I.W$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0755316 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300359203321 996 $aRole of Microbes in Common Non-Infectious Diseases$91521879 997 $aUNINA
