New ways to understand how foods affect me and my health!

What we eat affects our bodies in many different ways. From changing our shape and size, to giving us the fuel to run. From keeping our hair and skin looking good, to affecting our risk of developing diseases like diabetes or cancer. However, what we eat can also affect each of us differently. This is because we all have different versions of genes, molecular regulators and even gut bacteria that affect how we respond to the foods that we eat. For example, one person may have versions of genes that means that they process (metabolize) some food components differently from how other people do. Another person may have versions of genes that make it easier for them to gain weight. To understand...

Analysis of Fecal, Salivary, and Tissue Microbiome in Barrett's Esophagus, Dysplasia, and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma

Abstract: Background and Aims Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) incidence has risen dramatically in the Western countries over the past decades. The underlying reasons are incompletely understood, and shifts in the esophageal microbiome have been postulated to increase predisposition to disease development. Multiple factors including medications, lifestyle, and diet could influence microbiome composition and disease progression. The aim of this study was (1) to identify a feasible method to characterize the tissue-associated microbiome, and (2) to investigate differences in the microbiome of saliva, esophageal tissue, and fecal samples by disease state and validate with 2 external cohorts. Met...

Biofilme oral e as interações na odontologia

O livro Biofilme Oral e as interações na odontologia surge da necessidade de compilar conhecimento produzido na disciplina das Ciências Biológicas Articuladas na área de Clínica Odontológica no curso de pós-graduação da Faculdade de Odon­tologia da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais. Nos últimos anos a disciplina visava aprofundar nos conceitos da produção e fisiopatologia dos biofilmes orais e os efeitos nos tecidos orais, sendo objeto de outras publicações. Atualmente a disciplina visa analisar os biofilmes em consonância com a compreensão de uma odontologia moderna como uma ciência ampla e integrada com o sistema estomatognático e suas implicações com corpo humano e a saúde em geral. Ainda foram levantadas reflexões de como as ciências básicas, avanços tecnológicos e ino­vação que podem contribuir para ajudar no bem-estar e recomo para a sociedade.

Confessions

A powerful novel about trauma and forgiveness Winner of the International Prize for Arabic Fiction Finalist for the PEN Translation Prize Finalist for the USA Translation Award During the violence and chaos of the Lebanese Civil War, a car pulls up to a roadblock on a narrow side street in Beirut. After a brief and confused exchange, several rounds of bullets are fired into the car, killing everyone inside except for a small boy of four or five. The boy is taken to the hospital, adopted by one of the assassins, and raised in a new family. “My father used to kidnap and kill people …” begins this haunting tale of a child who was raised by the murderer of his real family. The narrator of Confessions doesn’t shy away from the horrible truth of his murderous father—instead he confronts his troubled upbringing and seeks to understand the distortions and complexities of his memories, his war-torn country, and the quiet war that rages inside of him.

The Tunisian Women’s Rights Movement

Tunisian women have received significant attention for their active participation in preserving and extending women’s rights since 2011. However, their activism and latest achievements should be considered not a recent phenomenon but rather part and parcel of a distinctive local history that has included women as agents of change. This book examines Tunisian women’s lived experiences, as individuals and as a group, within a sociohistorical framework that uncovers the enduring feminine footprint over centuries and eventually underpins and defines their most recent fight for gender equality in postrevolutionary Tunisia. The historic and current presentation of Tunisian women’s public and civic engagement distinguishes between different types of women’s objectives in order to examine women’s activism holistically as it evolved in the local context. The Tunisian Women’s Rights Movement will be of interest to students and scholars of Tunisia, North African, and Middle East Studies and gender in the Arab world.

Historically, nutrient deficiencies have been of greater concern than dietary excess. However, along with the realization that deaths due to certain diseases are more prevalent in affluent countries came the conclusion that nutritional excess is of equal or in greater concern in many nations. Because immunologic reactions may play a role development of both cancer and atherosclerosis, better understanding of these interre lated phenomena may lead to innovative ideas for control of these diseases. There has been considerable interest in the role various nutrients may play in regulating immunologic responses. This has been especially true as a possible mecha nism by which fat modulates growth ...

Chitosan-Based Systems for Biopharmaceuticals

Chitosan is a linear polysaccharide commercially produced by the deacetylation of chitin. It is non-toxic, biodegradable, biocompatible, and acts as a bioadhesive with otherwise unstable biomolecules - making it a valuable component in the formulation of biopharmaceutical drugs. Chitosan-Based Systems for Biopharmaceuticals provides an extensive overview of the application of chitosan and its derivatives in the development and optimisation of biopharmaceuticals. The book is divided in four different parts. Part I discusses general aspects of chitosan and its derivatives, with particular emphasis on issues related to the development of biopharmaceutical chitosan-based systems. Part II deals w...
