Immunology of Aging
The rapidity of scientific progress over the last few years guarantees the utility of this new collection of state-of-the-art reviews on the immunology of aging, which is the result of extensive collaboration of more than sixty of the greatest thinkers and scholars in the field, in cooperation with a number of junior colleagues. The book summarizes current knowledge on the cellular and molecular aspects of the aging immune system and their clinical relevance, providing insights into the effects of the aging process on susceptibilities to those diseases most common among elders. The retrieval strategies used to slow down the decline in the immune system in the elderly are another subject detailed extensively. By providing a broad overview of immunosenescence and its consequences, as well as their potential modulation, this book will fill a gap in a timely manner. It will be of value to all immunologists, whether novice or experienced, as well as geriatricians and epidemiologists.
Inflammation and Chronic Disease
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.
Physical Exercise and Diabetes: Exploring the Relationship and Impact on Health Outcome
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar levels that can lead to several health complications, including cardiovascular disease, kidney damage, and nerve damage. Physical exercise has been shown to have a positive impact on the management and prevention of diabetes. Exercise can improve glucose uptake by muscles, decrease insulin resistance, and improve insulin sensitivity, leading to better blood sugar control. Research has demonstrated that regular physical exercise can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, and for those who already have the condition, exercise can help to manage blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of developing complications. The integration of physical activity into diabetes management plans has the potential to improve health outcomes and quality of life for individuals living with diabetes.
Ancient and Traditional Foods, Plants, Herbs and Spices used in Cardiovascular Health and Disease
The use of different foods, herbs, and spices to treat or prevent disease has been recorded for thousands of years. Egyptian papyrus, hieroglyphics and ancient texts from the Middle East have described the cultivation and preparations of herbs and botanicals to "cure the sick". There are even older records from China and India. Some ancient scripts describe the use of medicinal plants which have never been seen within European cultures. Indeed, all ancient civilizations have pictorial records of different foods, herbs, and spices being used for medical purposes. However, there are fundamental issues pertaining to the scientific evidence for the use of these agents or their extracts in modern...
Immunosenescence
Immunosenescence is a unique, multi-disciplinary approach to the understanding of immune aging. It addresses the topic from the biological, as well as the psychological, social and behavioral perspectives. It is, thus, a valuable and timely addition to the literature in this area. Contributors include experts in the field, reviewing the state of the art in research.
L'Université de Strasbourg de la Révolution française à la guerre de 1870
Alsacia ha tenido la suerte de haber vivido, después de las guerras, en tiempo de paz, el clasicismo y la herencia revolucionaria y napoleónica, por parte francesa, y el idealismo literario, filosófico y pedagógico del lado renano y helvético. De esta mezcla de influencias y de una actividad propia y original ha nacido una forma de civilización literaria, científica y artística donde tiene su sitio la Universidad de Estrasburgo. En el mundo post-revolucionario, las Facultades buscan su vía, renuevan la tradición, combinan la ciencia que se transmite y la ciencia que se crea, tienden a interesarse por el discurso histórico. Este es el marco interior en el que destaca, entre 1789 y 1870, el triple problema de la concepción, funciones y medios de la nueva institución, en las relaciones entre el Estado y la sociedad.
Music and Literature in German Romanticism
During the Romantic era, many in Germany believed music to be the highest art form, representing the quintessence of Romanticism and able to express what could not be expressed in words. This book studies the work of composers during this period and examines the cross-over between music and literature.
