One of the most important medical discoveries of the past several decades has been that inflammatory processes are involved in not just a few select disorders, but a wide variety of mental and physical health problems. Inflammation is directly linked to morbidity and mortality. Some estimates suggest that inflammation plays a key role in ischemic heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and autoimmune and neurodegenerative conditions. Understanding the role of inflammation has helped us better understand many chronic diseases, their progression and potential prevention. For example, substantial advances in basic and experimental science have illuminated the role of inflammation and the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms that contribute to atherogenesis and atherosclerosis. On a more clinical level, population-based studies have demonstrated that baseline C-Reactive Protein (CRP) levels predict future cardiovascular events.
The First Conference on materials science and engineering, including physics, physical chemistry, condensed matter chemistry, and technology in general, was held in September 1995, in Herceg Novi. An initiative to establish Yugoslav Materials Research Society was born at the conference and, similar to other MR societies in the world, the programme was made and objectives determined. The Yugoslav Materials Research Society (Yu-MRS), a nongovernment and non-profit scientific association, was founded in 1997 to promote multidisciplinary goal-oriented research in materials science and engineering. The main task and objective of the Society has been to encourage creativity in materials research a...
“A must read if you truly want to understand oral health and how it affects the health of your overall systemic well-being . . . a healthcare gem.” —Dr. Mark Burhenne, DDS of Ask the Dentist It’s a popular theory that good health starts in your gut. But think about it: your mouth is the gateway to your gut. The good and bad bacteria in your mouth are directly linked to the bacteria in your digestive system. The oral microbiome can also affect illnesses and diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, certain cancers, and more. That’s why maintaining a balanced oral microbiome is one of the most important things you can do to set a solid foundation for your overall health. Heal You...
Le malattie autoimmuni costituiscono oggi un vero e proprio problema di salute pubblica, per la grande diffusione che stanno registrando. L’alimentazione e i giusti integratori possono fare moltissimo per la prevenzione e anche per affrontare la malattia quando si manifesta. Ce lo spiega in questo libro il dottor Paolo Giordo, che in modo chiaro e puntuale fornisce informazioni preziose sui regimi alimentari da seguire, sull’impatto che gli alimenti hanno sulle differenti patologie autoimmuni e sul funzionamento del nostro sistema immunitario. Giordo prende anche in esame le singole patologie, una per una, dedicando poi un’ampia trattazione anche all’importanza degli integratori vitaminici, dei minerali e dei funghi medicinali.
This book presents a state-of-the-art review of recent advances in the recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries. The topics covered include: introduction to the structure of lithium-ion batteries; development of battery-powered electric vehicles; potential environmental impact of spent lithium-ion batteries; pretreatment of spent lithium-ion batteries for recycling processing; pyrometallurgical processing for recycling spent lithium-ion batteries; hydrometallurgical processing for recycling spent lithium-ion batteries; direct processing for recycling spent lithium-ion batteries; high value-added products from recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries; and effects of recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries on environmental burdens. The book provides an essential reference resource for professors, researchers, and policymakers in academia, industry, and government around the globe.
During the educational and social transformations in politically tumultuous early twentieth-century China, Chinese teacher's schools played a critical role. They were a force in the changes that swept Chinese society, bridging Chinese and Western ideals, empowering women, and contributing to rural modernization. This innovative account examines the social and political aspects and impacts of these schools, their role in a society in transistion, and their production of grassroots forces that lead to the Communist Revolution.
