A highly controversial work of satirical fiction, mocking the obsessions, trends and rules of the modern society, challenging scientific theories, questioning political decisions and suggesting astonishing and original solutions to the dilemmas of our era.
Based on the International Symposium on Immunotherapy of Infections held recently at the Robert Koch Institute, Berlin, Germany, this work discusses cytokines as well as synthetic and natural immunomodulators and their applications in the immunotherapy of bacterial, viral, parasitic and fungal infections.;The contributors describe innovative treatment concepts that act as adjuncts to established therapies for the control of both existing and newly emerging infectious diseases.
Bolile cardiovasculare reprezintă principala cauză a mortalității în România. Autorii volumului abordează dintr-o perspectivă științifică extinsă impactul pe care aceste afecțiuni îl au asupra vârstnicilor, analizând atât măsurile care pot fi luate pentru prevenția lor, cât și metodele de tratament. Pe lângă o prezentare exhaustivă a patologiei cardiovasculare și a factorilor de risc – între care hipertensiunea arterială, dislipidemia, obezitatea și diabetul zaharat –, cei interesați găsesc elemente de farmacologie, abordări perioperatorii în chirurgia non-cardiacă și cardiacă, indicații privind nutriția adecvată sau îngrijirile paliative. Noțiunile teoretice sunt însoțite de numeroase studii de caz, grafice, tabele și imagini care facilitează înțelegerea lor. Sintetizând cele mai noi informații din domeniu, volumul se adresează studenților la facultățile de medicină, medicilor rezidenți și cardiologilor, interniștilor, geriatrilor și medicilor de familie.
The brain is the most complex organ in our body. Indeed, it is perhaps the most complex structure we have ever encountered in nature. Both structurally and functionally, there are many peculiarities that differentiate the brain from all other organs. The brain is our connection to the world around us and by governing nervous system and higher function, any disturbance induces severe neurological and psychiatric disorders that can have a devastating effect on quality of life. Our understanding of the physiology and biochemistry of the brain has improved dramatically in the last two decades. In particular, the critical role of cations, including magnesium, has become evident, even if incomplet...
This book sheds new light on the management of patients with borderline cardiovascular risk factors in order to prevent their progression to end organ damage. The book stimulates discussion of this poorly understood condition and lays the groundwork for developing recommendations and guidelines. While the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to full-blown diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia and obesity is well defined, there is still a lack of clear understanding and guidelines as far as patients with borderline conditions – especially when multiple – are concerned. Moreover, end-organ damage depends on several factors, including genetic factors, making it difficult to predict its extent...
Because of the increasing pressure on both food safety and packaging/food waste, the topic is important both for academics, applied research, industry and also for environment protection. Different materials, such as glass, metals, paper and paperboards, and non-degradable and degradable polymers, with versatile properties, are attractive for potential uses in food packaging. Food packaging is the largest area of application within the food sector. Only the nanotechnology-enabled products in the food sector account for ~50% of the market value, with and the annual growth rate is 11.65%. Technological developments are also of great interest. In the food sector, nanotechnology is involved in p...
This volume provides readers with the basic principles and fundamentals of extrusion technology and a detailed description of the practical applications of a variety of extrusion processes, including various pharma grade extruders. In addition, the downstream production of films, pellets and tablets, for example, for oral and other delivery routes, are presented and discussed utilizing melt extrusion. This book is the first of its kind that discusses extensively the well-developed science of extrusion technology as applied to pharmaceutical drug product development and manufacturing. By covering a wide range of relevant topics, the text brings together all technical information necessary to develop and market pharmaceutical dosage forms that meet current quality and regulatory requirements. As extrusion technology continues to be refined further, usage of extruder systems and the array of applications will continue to expand, but the core technologies will remain the same.
