Biology is designed for multi-semester biology courses for science majors. It is grounded on an evolutionary basis and includes exciting features that highlight careers in the biological sciences and everyday applications of the concepts at hand. To meet the needs of today’s instructors and students, some content has been strategically condensed while maintaining the overall scope and coverage of traditional texts for this course. Instructors can customize the book, adapting it to the approach that works best in their classroom. Biology also includes an innovative art program that incorporates critical thinking and clicker questions to help students understand—and apply—key concepts.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:
"Giant cell arteritis, or G-C-A, is a disease of the blood vessels, especially those on the side of the head. In G-C-A, inflammation can decrease blood flow, causing headaches and other symptoms, including blurry vision, which sometimes even leads to permanent blindness. The disease, which affects people over 50, is treated immediately with high doses of glucocorticoids, such as prednisone, to lessen inflammation and reduce the risk of vision loss. But patients often need to stay on these powerful drugs for years, and doctors don’t have good information about how well this strategy works. Now, researchers from around the world have completed the first large randomized clinical trial of a newer drug, tocilizumab, or T-C-Z, in combination with long-term prednisone tapers in patients with G-C-A. The results show that disease flares are common, even when patients are taking prednisone, although adding T-C-Z reduces that risk. In the trial, researchers evaluated four sets of patients..."
