INTRODUCTION TO BIOSTATISTICS AND RESEARCH METHODOLOGY: A Comprehensive Guide for Health Care Professionals is a precisely written textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate medical, dental, nursing, physiotherapy, clinical psychology and other allied health care profession students. This book contains all the essentials of Biostatistics, research methods, demography and health statistics that lay a good foundation for anyone interested in these subjects. Biostatistics is a biological science and a branch of medicine that involves the processes of collection, collation, analysis, interpretation, presentation of health and health related information that may lead to conclusion and decision making. Biostatistics therefore embraces those techniques pertaining to health and health related sciences. This text book is a comprehensive, user friendly and easy to read resource on Biostatistics and Research Methodology. It is meant for undergraduate and postgraduate medical students and allied biomedical sciences (Dental, Nursing, Psychology, AYUSH, Nutrition, MSc and PhD students). Health researchers, research supervisors and faculty members may find it useful as a reference book.
Human Microbiome Drug Targets: Modern Approaches in Disease Management presents fundamental information on the human microbiome, looking into the relationship between the microbiome and how it changes with specific diseases. Delving into the multifaceted roles of the microbiome in health and disease, the book's chapters discuss the role of the human microbiome in the pathophysiologic understanding of relevant diseases or disorders and their management. As changes in the human microbiome can provide clues to the probable cause and effect of diseases or disorders, as well as the impacts of therapy or intervention, this book is a welcomed addition to the existing research. Explaining how a bett...
Global demand for food is rising as a result of increases in the global population as well as dietary changes. Furthermore, climate change exerts additional pressure on the food supply, adversely affecting sustainable food production. Increased temperatures and drought stresses coupled with the migration of pests limit crop yields and affect their nutritional quality. Many staple crops are unable to adapt to these changing climatic conditions. To achieve the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nation to end hunger and promote good health and well-being, concerted efforts need to be made to enhance food production while mitigating the effects of climate change through the promotion of climate-smart agricultural practices and the utilization of neglected and underutilized crop species. These species can be highly nutritious and well-adapted to different agroecologies and climatic conditions, meaning that they offer the possibility of improving food and nutritional security.
This book covers a wide variety of topics, including biodynamic agriculture, Indian systems of medicine, herbal drug and herb—food interactions, regulatory issues, herbal formulations, herbal excipients, patenting and regulatory requirements of natural products, a general introduction to the herbal industry, and good manufacturing practices of Indian systems of medicine. In addition to broad subjects, it covers both fundamental and advanced levels of knowledge in an appropriate proportion. This book provides an introduction to the fundamental concepts and practices of the Ayurvedic, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathic medical systems. In addition to this, the book emphasizes the quality, safety...
Current Molecular Targets of Heterocyclic Compounds for Cancer Therapy discusses recently developed treatments based on molecular targets which are genetically altered in cancer cells and are essential for tumor development and survival. Considerable research effort has been devoted to the development of targeted drugs that inhibit the action of pathogenic kinases, and clinical studies performed so far have validated the positive effects of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Each chapter discusses a molecular target, such as ALK2, ATR, CK, Src-Abl, EGFR, Fyn-Blk-Lyn, IGFs, and PAK1. The book's chapters are written by experts who actively work on the targets to help readers fully underst...
Microbial Secondary Metabolites (SMs) are low molecular weight compounds produced during secondary metabolism. The majority are produced by specific groups of microorganisms under environmental stress conditions, including; nutrient deficiencies, pH, temperature, and metal ions concentrations. Many reported SMs are categorized as antibiotics, pigments, toxins, pheromones, enzyme inhibitors, antitumor agents, immunomodulators, receptor antagonists and agonists, animal and plant growth promoters, and pesticides. Their synthesis is regulated by a group of genes residing on the chromosomal DNA/plasmid DNA known as Biosynthetic Gene Clusters (BGCs). Moreover, their metabolic pathways are complex ...
