The Science of Meditation, Yoga, and Prayer
Science of Meditation Yoga, and Prayer Explores and explains the various scientific health benefits of yoga and meditation. Everyone experiences stress throughout everyday life, which increases the risk of many illnesses including heart attack and stroke. Scientific research has proven that meditation is the most effective way to relieve stress. Many studies argue that yoga is superior to many other forms of exercise for overall well-being. History shows that sometimes prayer can be effective in saving the life of a critically ill patient when all medical options are exhausted. Some scientists attempt to explain the healing power of meditation, yoga, and prayer, but known theories of medical science cannot explain it. In this book, Dr. Dasgupta unravels the mysteries of meditation, the secrets of yoga, and the power of prayer. Book jacket.

The Science of Drinking
Scientific research has clearly established that drinking in moderation has many health benefits, including maintaining a healthy heart. Yet, many people do not know that drinking red wine protects the heart more than white wine, while beer, margaritas, and hard liquor are less effective in providing such protection. And while alcoholism is a serious problem requiring medical and psychological treatment, for those who are not addicted, drinking alcohol is not necessarily a bad habit. The problem is to distinguish between drinking sensibly and drinking insensibly. Dasgupta clearly outlines what constitutes healthy drinking and its attendant health benefits, offers advice on how to drink responsibly, and provides insight into just how alcohol works on the brain and the body. After reading this book, readers will enjoy their next drink with a fuller and safer understanding of why they're enjoying it.
Herbal Supplements
HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS An evenhanded study of pharmacological interactions between Western drugs and herbal supplements Today, a significant percentage of Americans turn to complementary and alternative medicine practices. Despite their popularity and wide use, these products do not undergo the same pre-market testing for safety and efficacy that is required of pharmaceuticals. In Herbal Supplements: Efficacy, Toxicity, Interactions with Western Drugs, and Effects on Clinical Laboratory Tests, editors Amitava Dasgupta and Catherine Hammett-Stabler present a comprehensive introduction to both safe and unsafe herbal supplements. The book emphasizes the pharmacological interactions identified betwe...

Pharmacogenomics of Alcohol and Drugs of Abuse
Pharmacogenomics is the basis of personalized medicine, which is said to be the medicine of the future. Understanding genetic variation in drug and alcohol response is vital for professionals working in rehabilitation programs. The same principles that are applicable for therapeutic drugs are also applicable for drugs of abuse. Pharmacogenomics can
The Science of Stress Management
Stress is an inevitable part of everyday life. Sometimes we manage it well. Other times, not so much. But understanding the role of stress in our overall health and wellness is essential to taking it head-on. It’s not just that stress can take over our thoughts; it can take over our bodies. From the flight or fight response to inflammation, from feeling anxious to feeling sick, it can deteriorate our bodies and our minds from the inside out. While many books promise tips on managing stress, this book takes it one step further to consider the science behind stress and how it affects our minds and bodies, offering evidence-based approaches to managing stress for optimum results. Amitava Dasgupta guides readers to a greater understanding of the mechanisms at work when stress is present and provides guidance for dealing with those physical and mental responses. While grounded in the science of stress, this work also helps readers employ those strategies that will best manage stress for better overall health.
SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES
Aimed primarily at the undergraduate students pursuing courses in semiconductor physics and semiconductor devices, this text emphasizes the physical understanding of the underlying principles of the subject. Since engineers use semiconductor devices as circuit elements, device models commonly used in the circuit simulators, e.g. SPICE, have been discussed in detail. Advanced topics such as lasers, heterojunction bipolar transistors, second order effects in BJTs, and MOSFETs are also covered. With such in-depth coverage and a practical approach, practising engineers and PG students can also use this book as a ready reference.
Prescription Or Poison?
The widely used herbal antidepressant kava is damaging to the liver. Pregnant women should avoid most herbal remedies because of pesticides and preservatives required in the growth and storage of the herbs. Most ayurvedic medicines contain unacceptable levels of lead and other heavy metals. St. John's Wort could complicate any chronic medical condition. Many people see herbal remedies as "natural" and therefore safe, but in Prescription or Poison? Dr. Amitava Dasgupta explains that one of his first pharmacology professors taught him that "medicine" is just another word for "poison" and all medicines of any kind should be treated with great caution. This book, written for the layperson but based on solid science and research, explains how toxic many alternative remedies can be, alone or in combination with widely prescribed drug treatments. He includes detailed information on the proper use of alternative medicines and their history of good results, while also cautioning readers in this wake-up call about the casual, often uninformed, and sometimes damaging use of alternative remedies.
Fighting the Opioid Epidemic
Fighting the Opioid Epidemic: The Role of Providers and the Clinical Laboratory in Understanding Who Is Vulnerable covers the important aspects that are essential in fighting the opioid epidemic. This succinct reference highlights how the toxicology laboratory can play a vital role in fighting the opioid epidemic by implementing a robust system for drugs of abuse testing as well as drug testing in pain management patients. It targets health care professionals in a technical manner, discussing polymorphisms of important genes that may be associated with increased vulnerability of alcohol and drug addiction to an individual. - Covers all important aspects of opioid abuse, including genetic and environmental factors - Discusses pharmacology, toxicology and the pharmacogenomics related to opioid metabolism - Presents genetic and environmental factors associated with those vulnerable to opioid addiction, as well as the pitfalls of drug testing in pain management
