Biologic Effects of Light 1998
It is remarkable how much we take for granted the tremendous energy and vitality that the sun provides earth's inhabitants. As we enter the new millennium, it is worthwhile to review how our ancestors perceived the biologic effects of sunlight, and how science and medicine have advanced our knowledge about the biologic effects of light. At the turn of the century, a multitude of investigators explored the use of sunlight and artificial radiation for treating a multitude of diseases. These explorations gave rise to photodynamic therapy, phototherapy, and chemophototherapy. However, enthusiasm for using sunlight and artificial radiation to treat disease was dampened with the birth of pharmacol...
Proceedings of the 15th International Symposium on Bioluminescence and Chemiluminescence
In the last decade, great advances have been made in fundamental research and in the applications of bioluminescence and chemiluminescence. These techniques have become vital tools for laboratory analysis. Bioluminescence imaging has emerged as a powerful new optical imaging technique, offering real-time monitoring of spatial and temporal progression of biological processes in living animals. Bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) methodology has also emerged as a powerful technique for the study of protein-protein interactions. Luciferase reporter gene technology facilitates monitoring of gene expression and is used to probe molecular mechanisms in the regulation of gene expressio...
Biologic Effects of Light 2001
As humans ventured into the twentieth century, the industrialized countries were confronted with the scourge of rickets. Although solariums were becoming common in the early 1900s and phototherapy was gaining popularity as a result of the awarding of a Nobel Prize to Finsen in 1903, it wasn't until 1921 when Hess and Unger demonstrated that rickets could be cured by exposure to sunlight that the healthful benefit of sun exposure appreciated. In 1941, Apperly (Cancer Research; 1: 191-195, 1941) noted that the occasional increased risk of skin cancer was associated with a decreased risk of many other more common and serious cancers. The alarming increase in the number of cases of skin cancer, ...
The Noonday Demon
The author offers a look at depression in which he draws on his own battle with the illness and interviews with fellow sufferers, researchers, doctors, and others to assess the complexities of the disease, its causes and symptoms, and available therapies. This book examines depression in personal, cultural, and scientific terms. He confronts the challenge of defining the illness and describes the vast range of available medications, the efficacy of alternative treatments, and the impact the malady has on various demographic populations, around the world and throughout history. He also explores the thorny patch of moral and ethical questions posed by emerging biological explanations for mental illness. He takes readers on a journey into the most pervasive of family secrets and contributes to our understanding not only of mental illness but also of the human condition.

Easy Medicine for Biologists
Medical knowledge is not only necessary for people working and researching within the field of medicine. Humankind emerged due to the evolution of organic matter over the course of billions of years. From our ancestors, we have inherited the principles of organizing the genome, an anatomical structure, a chain of metabolic processes, and a way to regulate physiological functions. Since these principles, chains, and methods are largely universal, one can learn a lot about the biology of other, non-human living beings that inhabit our planet when studying human medicine. At the same time, any living being is born, lives, and dies in continuous interaction with a changing external environment. ...
Heidelberg
Die Stadt selbst mit ihren Qualitäten und Nöten, die Universität mit vielen Facetten einer umfassenden Hochschule, auch Schulen, Sport und Bildung sowie viele liebenswürdige Besonderheiten und Geschehnisse von einst und heute werden Ihnen, verehrte Leserinnen und geneigte Leser, nahegebracht. Heidelberg ist eine schöne Stadt, das wissen wir und wir genießen es auch. Besonders vorteilhaft ist die Tatsache, dass Heidelberg nicht nur für die vielen Touristen aus aller Welt sich darstellt und herausputzt, sondern auch seine Bewohner pflegt und verwöhnt. Es ist klar, "Heidelberg - die Stadt, in der wir leben" ist eine kleine Großstadt mit dem Charme einer Provinzkapitale, ausgestattet mit einem überreichen Angebot an kulturellen, wissenschaftlichen, sportlichen und freizeitfüllenden Ereignissen. Die Stadt bietet hohe Wohnqualität, liegt in der begnadeten und dynamischen Rhein-Neckar-Metropol-Region zwischen Odenwald und Pfalz und genießt zudem "am Neckar" die Vorzüge einer "Stadt am Fluss". Mitglieder des Lions Club Heidelberg und geneigte Freunde haben als Autoren zusammengefunden, das ihnen so reizvoll erscheinende Heidelberg vorzustellen; und Lob ist auch eingeflochten.
The Question of Psychological Types
In 1915, C.G. Jung and his psychiatrist colleague, Hans Schmid-Guisan, began a correspondence through which they hoped to understand and codify fundamental individual differences of attention and consciousness. This correspondence, available in English for the first time, reveals Jung fielding keen theoretical challenges form one of his most sensitive and perceptive colleagues.
