Brief Introduction

This textbook has evolved simultaneously to keep step with these advances while at the same time maintaining an appreciation of the art of medicine and the principles underlying the optimal care of the patient. In shaping and revising this latest edition, the Editors have committed themselves to making the textbook an invaluable resource for students and practitioners coping with the demands of modern medicine.

The seventeenth edition of Harrison’s has a full-color format that draws from and extends the excellent appearance of the sixteenth edition to make the content more accessible and pleasant to read. The placement of color illustrations within the chapters rather than in the separate atlas was very favorably received by our sixteenth edition readers and has been continued in the current edition. Many changes to the design of this edition have been made in order to speed the reader’s navigation through the textual and visual materials. For example, tables have been shaded for ease of reading, citations in tables and illustrations are now more instantly notable and in color, and our Treatment sections in each chapter have been redesigned to allow even faster access. The new global icons call greater attention to key epidemiologic and clinical differences in the practice of medicine throughout the world.

Excerpts

…
Different types of stem cells include embryonic stem (ES) cells, umbilical cord blood stem cells, organ-specific somatic stem cells (e.g., neural stem cells for treatment of the brain), and somatic stem cells capable of generating cell types specific for the target rather than the donor organ (e.g., bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells for cardiac repair) (Chap. 66). ES cells self-renew endlessly so that a single cell line with carefully characterized traits can generate large numbers of cells that can be immunologically matched with potential transplant recipients. However, little is currently known about the mechanisms that govern differentiation of these cells or processes that limit their unbridled proliferation. Human ES cells are difficult to culture and grow slowly. ES cells tend to develop abnormal karyotypes and have the potential to form teratomas if they are not committed to the desired cell types before transplantation. The study of human ES cells has been controversial, and their use in clinical applications would be unacceptable to some patients and physicians despite their enormous potential. Somatic cell nuclear transfer (“therapeutic cloning”) represents an alternative method for creating ES cell lines that are genetically identical to the patient. It may also be possible to derive pluripotent stem cells from spermatogonia in the adult human testis, providing another strategy for obtaining genetically identical stem cells.
