Mechanisms in Carcinogenesis and Cancer Prevention
A large proportion of cancers is preventable. External factors, discovered by epidemiological studies during the last 50 years, account for a majority of all cancer deaths. However, still rather little is known, about how environmental and genetic factors interact, how they may regulate gene activation etc. And it is a long way from the discovery of a basic regulatory mechanism to practical patient treatment. This volume describes the present state of the art in carcinogenesis, possibilities for cancer prevention, and gives genetic background in cancer development. Attention is given to the host-environment interaction, considering how this interaction may lead to cancer formation and how it can be utilised in cancer prevention. The molecular basis for cancer development and the molecular basis for prevention are described.
Dietary Supplements
The use of dietary supplements in the United States is widespread and continues to grow as more people seek alternative and complimentary medicines. Herbal products are mainly regulated as dietary supplements but our scientific understanding of the efficacy of these botanical supplements remains limited. This book provides the latest findings and perspectives related to dietary supplements, phytochemistry of botanical dietary supplements, bioactive compounds in teas and fruits, and the safety and bioactivity of selected dietary supplements.
Towards a Sustainable Northern European Housing Stock
Never were energy use and security of energy supply as high on the international political agendas as they are now. There seems to be a consensus that energy savings and sustainable energy production must have a high priority. Because the energy use in the residential and non-residential sectors account for a large part of the total energy use, new programs are being developed in order to limit the consumption of energy in these sectors and a lot of attention is put into increasing the energy efficiency of the existing building stock. Towards a Sustainable Northern European Housing Stock is based on a search and inventory of data on the existing Northern-European building stock and related policy developments. In this book, the authors try to give a realistic image of what is really known about the current quality of the building stock, the type of renovation activities that are undertaken and the policies being currently implemented. Recommendations are also made on how to improve the present situation.
