Immunology is the branch of biomedical sciences to study of the immune system physiology both in healthy and diseased states. Some aspects of autoimmunity draws our attention to the fact that it is not always associated with pathology. For instance, autoimmune reactions are highly useful in clearing off the excess, unwanted or aged tissues from the body. Also, generation of autoimmunity occurs after the exposure to the non-self antigen that is structurally similar to the self, aided by the stimulatory molecules like the cytokines. Thus, a narrow margin differentiates immunity from auto-immunity as already discussed. Hence, finding answers for how the physiologic immunity turns to pathologic autoimmunity always remains a question of intense interest. However, this margin could be cut down only if the physiology of the immune system is better understood. The individual chapters included in this book will cover all the possible aspects of immunology and pathologies associated with it. The authors have taken strenuous effort in elaborating the concepts that are lucid and will be of reader's interest.

Tabac, alcool, drogues illicites : ces consommations toxiques constituent pour bien des adolescents l’expression d’un mal-être qu’expliquent en partie l’absence de statut social et le manque de réelles responsabilités citoyennes des jeunes d’aujourd’hui. D’où l’existence, chez eux, d’un singulier rapport au temps. L’emprise et la pression du quotidien ne leur permettent pas de vivre sereinement leur présent et rendent du même coup difficile la construction d’un avenir qui leur apparaît comme incertain et angoissant. De sorte que les jeunes, lorsqu’ils consomment du tabac, de l’alcool et des drogues illicites, recherchent et se créent un "temps à-côté"... Quelles sont les trajectoires qui mènent à ces comportements ? Garçons et filles sont-ils "égaux" en la matière ? Comment financent-ils ces pratiques ? Quel rôle joue le groupe dans ces apprentissages ? Quels en sont les lieux, les moments privilégiés ? "Défonce" ou plaisir, quête de limites ou, paradoxalement, d’une forme de stabilité, quelles significations donner à ces expériences ? Enquêtes par questionnaires, entretiens approfondis, observation participante auprès de groupes d’adolescents et de professionnels de la prévention, ont permis à Sophie Le Garrec de répondre à ces questionnements multiples. En réinscrivant la population étudiée et ses pratiques dans le contexte socio-économique et dans les configurations sociétales qui sont les leurs, l’auteur offre ici la première étude sociologique des polyconsommations toxiques adolescentes.
