Heel Print
Heel Print is a biographic novel based on the story of the life of an ordinary rural Chinese woman, Yi-qing Dong. Yi-qing was betrothed to a village boy at the age of seven. Her parents bound her feet to please her future husband, just as he was beginning to discover the modern values developing beyond the countryside. Against great odds, this blind marriage turned out to be a fortuitous match of kindred spirits. Unfortunately, Yi-qing’s husband, a patriotic military officer, was killed at the age of thirty-one, leaving her alone to raise five children on a barren land where she faced various physical, financial, political, and social challenges. Yi-qing’s personal experience during these turbulent times in China provides a glimpse into the mystery and complexities of human nature.
Arterial Chemoreception
Arterial chemoreceptors are unique structures which continuously monitor changes in arterial blood oxygen, carbon dioxide, glucose, and acid. Alterations in these gases are almost instantaneously sensed by arterial chemoreceptors and relayed into a physiological response which restores blood homeostasis. Arterial Chemoreception contains updated material regarding the physiology of the primary arterial chemoreceptor; the carotid body. Moreover, this book also explores tantalizing evidence regarding the contribution of the aortic bodies, chromaffin cells, lung neuroepithelial bodies, and brainstem areas involved in monitoring changes in blood gases. Furthermore this collection includes data showing the critical importance of these chemoreceptors in the pathophysiology of human disease and possible therapeutic treatments. This book is a required text for any researcher in the field of arterial chemoreception for years to come. It is also a critical text for physicians searching for bench-to-bedside treatments for heart failure, sleep apnea, and pulmonary hypertension.
