Lipoproteins
By typing into databases such as Medline or PubMed the word lipoprotein one gets more than 100.000 hits that highlight the common interest in this topic. It is actually impossible to cover all aspects of lipoprotein structure, function, metabolism and pathophysiology in one issue like the present volume, but attempts have been made to concentrate on topics that are in focus of current lipoprotein research. These topics have been divided into 10 sections. This volume will help new investigators in the field to get acquainted with the general topic of lipoprotein research and will guide scientists interested in this area to emerging new fields.
Endoscopia Bariátrica
A endoscopia é uma especialidade cuja evolução está na dependência direta de alta tecnologia, tornando-se reais a Inteligência Artificial e a Robótica. Nesse contexto, a endoscopia terapêutica representa papel importante nas cirurgias minimamente invasivas. Sua atuação na área da obesidade tem sido marcante, a ponto de se criar a subespecialidade de endoscopia bariátrica. Endoscopia Bariátrica Baseada em Evidências é uma obra composta de 6 capítulos principais e 20 subcapítulos selecionados pelos editores com base em revisão sistemática. Os capítulos seguem com uma abordagem inicial que se dedica ao tratamento primário da obesidade e sequencialmente enfatiza o tratamento das complicações da cirurgia bariátrica. A base da revisão sistemática tem por objetivo o aprendizado de técnicas apuradas, dentro de critérios claros e seguros, e sua futura aplicação. Editores e colaboradores esmeraram-se em ofertar uma obra bastante consistente e objetiva, de fácil compreensão, para uso consciente e judicioso da melhor evidência clínica disponível na tomada de decisões sobre tratamentos.
Atlas
Sinto-me extremamente feliz por prefaciar o livro Atlas de Endoscopia Bariátrica. Faço-o na atitude de aprendiz, pouco comum a prefaciador. Quem prefacia tem geralmente a posição de quem apresenta ou até introduz apoiado em sua suposta capacidade e competência, em seu conhecimento e renome. É sempre a postura de quem pode julgar a obra que está prefaciando e avalizá-la para o público a quem se destina. Um prefácio é um costume antigo que se torna a legitimação ou a validação da autoridade. Desta vez, porém, este prefaciador se põe na situação de quem tem o privilégio da prioridade da leitura de uma obra escrita pelos membros do Núcleo de Endoscopia Bariátrica da SOBED ...
Tratado Ilustrado de Endoscopia Digestiva
A Endoscopia Digestiva avança a largos passos, acompanhando não somente o desenvolvimento de equipamentos e acessórios, mas também o melhor entendimento das principais afecções que acometem o aparelho digestório. Em consonância com seus princípios, a Sociedade Brasileira de Endoscopia Digestiva (SOBED) lança este novo livro, que traz, de forma atualizada e bem ilustrada, temas fundamentais da área, de grande interesse a todos aqueles que atuam na especialidade.
Basic Principles and Clinical Significance of Oxidative Stress
It is a natural phenomenon for all living organisms in the world to undergo different kinds of stress during their life span. Stress has become a common problem for human beings in this materialistic world. In this period, a publication of any material on stress will be helpful for the human society. The book Basic Principles and Clinical Significance of Oxidative Stress targets all aspects of oxidative stress, including principles, mechanisms, and clinical significance. This book covers four sections: Free Radicals and Oxidative Stress, Natural Compounds as Antioxidants, Antioxidants - Health and Disease, and Oxidative Stress and Therapy. Each of these sections is interwoven with the theoretical aspects and experimental techniques of basic and clinical sciences. This book will be a significant source to scientists, physicians, healthcare professionals, and students who are interested in exploring the effect of stress on human life.
Orientalism and War
"Orientalism imagines history as a conflict between 'East' and 'West' from the Greco-Persian Wars onward. An institutionalized, expert community represents this world of East and West with authority, as, for example, in media and policy discussions of the Islamic sources of terrorism. The essays in this volume, which include chapters by historian Bruce Cumings, feminist scholar Susan Jeffords, and cultural critic John Mowitt, explore three dimensions connecting Orientalism and war. The first concerns the representations of 'self' and 'other' that mark the place of Orientalism in war and which, for example, saturate media coverage of the War on Terror. The second follows the way in which host...
Training in Minimal Access Surgery
This book provides a broad overview on training in Minimal Access Surgery, with expert opinions from leaders in the field clarifying the definitions and terminology related to competence and accreditation. It also provides expert advice on how to set up a training unit and explores the role and impact of all types of simulations on training including virtual reality simulation. How to design a competency-based training curriculum in advanced laparoscopic surgery is also explored along with in depth examination of the role of assessment and competency based accreditation. Training in Minimal Access Surgery is a valuable resource for all health care professionals who are involved in training and education in Minimal Access Surgery including trainers and supervisors. There is well established and robust evidence to support the benefits of laparoscopic surgery in terms of better pain control, fewer complications and shorter length of stay with an earlier return to work. Hence, there is now widespread adoption of laparoscopic techniques in many surgical specialties including colorectal and morbid obesity surgery across the world.
Lipid Peroxidation
This book presents an overview of lipid peroxidation: inhibition, effects and mechanisms. The topics analyzed, cover a broad spectrum of functions played by lipid peroxidation and presents new information in this area of research. The topics analyzed include: progress in the knowledge of lipid peroxidation, from the first evidences issued by Nicolas Theodore de Saussure in Paris 1804; fighting against lipid peroxidation: the unique story of docosahexaenoic acid in the brain; protective effects of melatonin and structurally-related molecules in reducing membrane rigidity due to lipid peroxidation; synergistic effects of antioxidant compositions during inhibited lipid autoxidation; lipid perox...
A Portrait of a School
A Portrait of a School: Coeducation at Andover is the first comprehensive study of how gender works out on a day to day basis in an American high school.
