The Other Side
When Young Giovanni Battista Left Italy for Montevideo, Uruguay, on a ship, little did he know he would soon find himself an orphan in Brazil, entirely on his own, forced to learn a new language and assimilate into a new culture, move frequently to find better jobs, travel by foot and horse to build a house, clear land in the wilderness, and manage a huge plantation in the backcountry. All along, Young Battista faced insurmountable challenges, such as shooting an angry jaguar in the Brazilian rainforest, and then returning to find his plantation helpers either sick or kidnapped. Alone yet again, Battista somehow found the courage to fight on, make some new friends, and emigrate to a third co...
Basic Clinical Rehabilitation Medicine
Basic Clinical Rehabilitation Medicine is a concise textbook covering essential areas of rehabilitation medicine. Each chapter is written in a condensed, straightforward fashion to provide the reader with a synopsis of information essential for clinical practice and with a brief review of the literature in several areas of rehabilitation without extraneous reading. The objective of each chapter, and the overall objective of the book, is to provide the reader with pertinent information to facilitate decision making in the rehabilitative management of patients. A broad area of rehabilitation issues, from history taking, muscle testing, muscle innervation, pediatric rehabilitation, wheelchair prescription, metabolic bone disease, motor neuron disease, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, neck and back pain syndromes, radiculopathies, stroke, cardiac rehabilitation, occupational rehabilitation medicine to impairment evaluation, is covered. This book is a quick reference for medical students, residents, practitioners, surgeons, and all individuals involved in direct patient care.
Biotechnology in Space
This book summarizes the early successes, drawbacks and accomplishments in cell biology and cell biotechnology achieved by the latest projects performed on the International Space Station ISS. It also depicts outcomes of experiments in tissue engineering, cancer research and drug design and reveals the chances that research in Space offers for medical application on Earth. This SpringerBriefs volume provides an overview on the latest international activities in Space and gives an outlook on the potential of biotechnological research in Space in future. This volume is written for students and researchers in Biomedicine, Biotechnology and Pharmacology and may specifically be of interest to scientists with focus on protein sciences, crystallization, tissue engineering, drug design and cancer research.
Grand Challenges in Fungal Biotechnology
This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the major applications and potential of fungal biotechnology. The respective chapters report on the latest advances and opportunities in each topic area, proposing new and sustainable solutions to some of the major challenges faced by modern society. Aimed at researchers and biotechnologists in academia and industry, it represents essential reading for anyone interested in fungal biotechnology, as well as those working within the broader area of microbial biotechnology. Written in an accessible language, the book also offers a valuable reference resource for decision-makers in government and at non-governmental organizations who are involved i...
Aerospace Medicine and Biology
A selection of annotated references to unclassified reports and journal articles that were introduced into the NASA scientific and technical information system and announced in Scientific and technical aerospace reports (STAR) and International aerospace abstracts (IAA).
The Circadian Clock
With the invitation to edit this volume, I wanted to take the opportunity to assemble reviews on different aspects of circadian clocks and rhythms. Although most c- tributions in this volume focus on mammalian circadian clocks, the historical int- duction and comparative clocks section illustrate the importance of various other organisms in deciphering the mechanisms and principles of circadian biology. Circadian rhythms have been studied for centuries, but only recently, a mole- lar understanding of this process has emerged. This has taken research on circadian clocks from mystic phenomenology to a mechanistic level; chains of molecular events can describe phenomena with remarkable accuracy...
