Biomarkers for risk detection and outcome prediction of neurodegenerative diseases become more and more important for the clinical practise and neuroscience research. This eBook presents novel findings in this field, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and application of neuroimaging, underlying mechanism of oxidative stress. The readers can catch new information about this emerging frontier of neurology with this eBook.
Yoga is many things to many people. However, the basics of yoga are worth understanding given its popularity and the benefits of the practice. This includes understanding yoga's roots, its origins, its development within and outside India as well as the research involving yoga as an integrative therapeutic modality. The author introduces the topic of yoga to healthcare officials, practitioners, skeptics, and a range of curious people in between. For yoga practitioners and those interested in the practice, The Politics and Promise of Yoga: Contemporary Relevance of an Ancient Practice outlines a condensed view of traditional yoga practices and provides a glimpse into the origin of yoga within Indian history and philosophy. The author hopes that policymakers will be interested in this evidence-based scientific practice so that it can be systematically incorporated into mainstream biomedical systems around the globe. This book also serves to confirm existing knowledge and historical nuances about yoga and also addresses contemporary debates and politics which revolve around the practice.

Depression is a common mental disorder and one of the leading causes of hospitalization. Simultaneously this disorder is the most notorious vulnerability factor to suicide attempts among men and women. The COVID-19 pandemic (COVID-19-related stressors) resulted in a statistically significant increase in depression incidences. Pharmacological treatment in the clinic is primarily based on substances synthesized in the 1960s and 1970s. High hopes were associated with compounds increasing the level of catecholamines in the brain and reducing excitotoxic levels of glutamate (Glu). However, side effects associated with cognition and psychosis are common. Therefore, it is crucial to synthesize new pharmacologically active substances or combine those used in clinical practice to define further directions in the development of novel more effective therapeutics for depression.
