Em 2020, o mundo é surpreendido por um evento infectocontagioso de grande impacto biosocioeconômico e com efeitos catastróficos. Todas as nações são imediatamente obrigadas a reverem seus hábitos e suas infraestruturas para poderem enfrentar tamanho desafio que avança exponencialmente sobre seus territórios. Neste livro, o autor Cristiano S. Pinho, que é graduado pleno em Educação Física e Mestre em Ciências da Saúde, tenta demonstrar a chegada da pandemia, o fenômeno Spillover, os impactos biosocioeconômicos, as estratégias de monitoramento e detecção, as estratégias de enfrentamento e dentre essas, ele foca na mais importante e controversa de todas: o isolamento social...
This clinical casebook is comprised of surgical cases involving the most important cardiovascular diseases in a concise, easy-to-read format (5x8 in trim size, like other titles in this burgeoning, informal product line in the Springer clinical medicine program). Each chapter is a case that opens with a unique clinical presentation, followed by a description of the diagnosis, assessment and management techniques used to treat it, as well as questions and answers (between 8 and 10) about relevant aspects related to the diagnosis and treatment of the addressed disease. The Q&A section will broaden discussion and increase the title's pedagogical value. The casebook features 40 surgical cases in...
The book provides an intensive overview on exercise for cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment, from basic research to clinical practice. The volume firstly summarizes the acute and chronic response to exercise. Secondly, evidence for exercise as medicine for the heart based on clinical studies and basic research is summarized. Thirdly, molecular mechanisms mediating the beneficial effects of exercise including IGF-1-PI3K-AKT signalling, NO signalling, C/EBPB-Cited4 signalling, Non-coding RNAs, epigenetic regulators, mitochondria adaption and exosomes are presented. Finally, exercise dosing, prescription and future prospects are provided. This book will provide valuable reference for researchers in cell biology, physiology, as well as physician, physical therapist in cardiology, sport medicine, etc.
Over the last few decades, remarkable progress has been made in understanding the aetiology and pathophysiology of diseases and many new theories emphasize the importance of the small bowel ‘ecosystem’ in the pathogenesis of acute and chronic illness. Emerging factors such as microbiome, stem cells, innate intestinal immunity and the enteric nervous system along with mucosal and endothelial barriers have key role in the development of gastrointestinal and extra-intestinal diseases. Therefore, the small intestine is considered key player in metabolic disease development, including diabetes mellitus, and other diet-related disorders such as celiac and non-celiac enteropathies. Another majo...
Inicialmente pensada para ser uma composição nacional, a coleção se expandiu e, além de autores das cinco regiões brasileiras, conta também com autores de outras nacionalidades, caracterizando-a, portanto, como internacional. Sinaliza-se ainda, seu enfoque multidisciplinar, uma vez que, os distintos autores possuem níveis e formações bastante distintas na área das ciências da saúde. Frente à robustez desta coleção, esperasse que tanto discentes/universitários, quanto profissionais vinculados as Ciências da Saúde se beneficiem dela. E, para além disso, cumprindo os preceitos da Ciência Aberta, tem-se a intenção, de que esse material ao ser disponibilizado como E-book, possa também ser acessado por toda a população que interessa por essa área e por estudos relevantes, nos mais distintos lugares do Brasil e do mundo. Os dois volumes desta obra foram organizados com base em cinco grandes eixos das Ciências da Saúde, a saber: Laboratório; Saúde coletiva; Atenção hospitalar; Gestão; e outros assuntos.
Muscle tears are one of the most common pathologies in sport and one of the most frequent causes of sport activity suspension. The purpose of this book is to review the state of the art of the actual knowledge on muscle tears in athletes, in particular for what concern the biology of muscle healing, the conservative and surgical treatments and the preventive aspects. Therefore, this textbook can be a valid tool for all Sport Medicine practitioners such as physicians, physiotherapists and fitness coaches.
Every aspect of immune function and host defense is dependent upon a proper supply and balance of nutrients. Severe malnutrition can cause significant alteration in immune response, but even subclinical deficits may be associated with an impaired immune response, and an increased risk of infection. Infectious diseases have accounted for more off-duty days during major wars than combat wounds or nonbattle injuries. Combined stressors may reduce the normal ability of soldiers to resist pathogens, increase their susceptibility to biological warfare agents, and reduce the effectiveness of vaccines intended to protect them. There is also a concern with the inappropriate use of dietary supplements...
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the patterns of biodiversity in various neotropical ecosystems, as well as a discussion on their historical biogeographies and underlying diversification processes. All chapters were written by prominent researchers in the fields of tropical biology, molecular ecology, climatology, paleoecology, and geography, producing an outstanding collection of essays, synthetic analyses, and novel investigations that describe and improve our understanding of the biodiversity of this unique region. With chapters on the Amazon and Caribbean forests, the Atlantic rainforests, the Andes, the Cerrado savannahs, the Caatinga drylands, the Chaco, and Mesoamerica – along with broad taxonomic coverage – this book summarizes a wide range of hypotheses, views, and methods concerning the processes and mechanisms of neotropical diversification. The range of perspectives presented makes the book a truly comprehensive, state-of-the-art publication on the topic, which will fascinate both scientists and general readers alike.
The two-volume set LNAI 12319 and 12320 constitutes the proceedings of the 9th Brazilian Conference on Intelligent Systems, BRACIS 2020, held in Rio Grande, Brazil, in October 2020. The total of 90 papers presented in these two volumes was carefully reviewed and selected from 228 submissions. The contributions are organized in the following topical section: Part I: Evolutionary computation, metaheuristics, constrains and search, combinatorial and numerical optimization; neural networks, deep learning and computer vision; and text mining and natural language processing. Part II: Agent and multi-agent systems, planning and reinforcement learning; knowledge representation, logic and fuzzy systems; machine learning and data mining; and multidisciplinary artificial and computational intelligence and applications. Due to the Corona pandemic BRACIS 2020 was held as a virtual event.
