Help with your pain is within reach! Let Dr. Karima Hirani teach you the most advanced therapies from alternative and complementary medicine for your pain. One in five American adults suffer from chronic pain and it affects over a billion people globally. While consumers spend billions of dollars on over-the-counter and prescription remedies, the usual outcomes of standard pain management are dismal. So, why are pain sufferers told so often that they need to live with their pain? Pain can impact every aspect of our lives from overall wellbeing and psychological health to economic and social welfare. Anxiety, depression, insomnia, and stress are four of the most common symptoms that accompany...
Ageing is of perennial interest as a universal feature in all human societies. The genetic background and biochemical bases of ageing processes are currently being revealed in unprecedented detail. It is emerging that one of the main hurdles to be overcome in achieving a long and healthy lifespan is the maintenance of a properly functioning immune system. The main cause of death in people who have achieved "successful ageing" (which mostly means not having succumbed to cancer or cardiovascular disease) is infectious disease, caused by immunosenescence. This book contains chapters by many of the leaders in the field of immune-related issues in ageing and remediation.
This authoritative handbook covers all aspects of immunosenescence, with contributions from experts in the research and clinical areas. It examines methods and models for studying immunosenescence; genetics; mechanisms including receptors and signal transduction; clinical relevance in disease states including infections, autoimmunity, cancer, metabolic syndrome, neurodegenerative diseases, frailty and osteoporosis; and much more.
The present book, which includes eleven articles five reviews and six original studies published in the Special Issue “Molecular Research On Platelet Activity in Health and Disease”, gives an international picture of the up-to-date understanding of (i) platelet signaling under physiological and pathological conditions; (ii) novel technologies for monitoring platelet functions; and (iii) clinical applications of platelet-based-therapy for management of pathological conditions, not directly related to hemostasis and thrombosis. The book reveals novel aspects of platelet biology, and will be helpful for offering new insights and a research impetus for those who are interested in developing new therapeutic tools for the management of pathological conditions depending on platelet dysfunctions.
Die Onkologie ist in einem rasanten Wandel begriffen, und neue erfolgreiche Therapien wecken Hoffnungen. In dem Maße, wie sich die Onkologie wandelt, muss sich auch der Beitrag der Misteltherapie weiterentwickeln und seinen Platz jeweils neu bestimmen. In regelmäßigen Abständen wird daher die Rolle der Mistel in der Tumortherapie wissenschaftlich neu beleuchtet und anschließend in einem Buch präsentiert. Es enthält Beiträge aus den aktuellen und relevanten Forschungsgebieten, die beim 7. Mistelsymposium im November 2019 vorgestellt wurden. Im Mittelpunkt des klinischen Teils stehen das Bronchial- und das Mammakarzinom: Was vermag die konventionelle Tumortherapie, welchen Beitrag leistet die Mistel, u. a. in unterschiedlichen Dosierungen und Applikationsformen, und wie hilft die Misteltherapie den Patienten auch in der seelischen Dimension? Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt sind Checkpoint-Inhibitoren bzw. moderne immunologische Therapien, mit denen zusammen die Mistel zur Anwendung kommt. Das Buch ist ein Beitrag zu einer integrativen Onkologie, einer Medizin der Zukunft.
Human immunosenescence contributes to morbidity and mortality in later life. Understanding the reasons for age-associated alterations to protective immunity in the elderly would ultimately improve and extend healthspan. The majority of the papers collected in this remarkable and timely volume address the mechanisms responsible for immune ageing in humans. They also consider what might be accomplished to redress the erosion of immune competence with age.
Immunology of Infection, 2nd Edition, edited by two leading experts in the field, presents the most appropriate up-to-date experimental approaches in the detail required for modern microbiological research. Focusing on the methods most useful for the Microbiologist interested in analysing host-pathogen relationships, this volume will be essential reading for all researchers working in microbiology, immunology, virology, mycology and parasitology. This new edition of Immunology of Infection provides ready-to-use "recipes", and the latest emerging techniques as well as novel approaches to the tried and tested, established methods included in the successful first edition. Methods in Microbiolog...
Aging is an almost universal process within biological systems, one which leads to a decline in functional capacity, disease onset, and eventually death. There has been much interest in recent years to elucidate the molecular mec- nisms that underlie the aging process. Many theories have been proposed since the last century that aim to explain the causes of aging. There is no one theory that completely satisfies the phenotype of aging, but genetics and environm- tal factors play an important role in the etiology of age-related pathologies and the aging process. However, there is still much to be learned about the aging process which has been termed one of the last great frontiers in biology....
