This volume, focusing on the ureter and the diseases which involve it, is an updated second edition. Many journals and textbooks deal with the physiology, pathology, diagnosis, and therapy of derangements of the urinary tract. In most instances, however, the discussion properly centers on the disease process itself and its primary aspects, with only a tan gential description of effects on the ureter. The editor is therefore correct that the ureter itself should be considered a major organ. Though it has been regarded in the recent past as a simple muscular tube, reacting to stretching or filling by contraction, this simplistic view of ureteral phys iology is changing fast. With expanded know...
This book employs computer simulations of ‘artificial’ Universes to investigate the properties of two popular alternatives to the standard candidates for dark matter (DM) and dark energy (DE). It confronts the predictions of theoretical models with observations using a sophisticated semi-analytic model of galaxy formation. Understanding the nature of dark matter (DM) and dark energy (DE) are two of the most central problems in modern cosmology. While their important role in the evolution of the Universe has been well established—namely, that DM serves as the building blocks of galaxies, and that DE accelerates the expansion of the Universe—their true nature remains elusive. In the fi...
Chemistry and Material Sciences naturally depend greatly on Synthesis as the initial stage for the existence of compounds and materials with desired behaviors, within the overall streamline of Design/Synthesis — Properties — Application/Function, and their relations. Such a general approach is of a too wide scope to be properly treated in a single set of publications, but this one on 'Synthesis and Applications in Chemistry and Materials' restricts itself by aiming to show the strength and international character of the current research in synthetic chemistry that is being developed in Portugal or abroad by teams that cooperate with this country. Hence, it gathers representative contributions of main Portuguese research groups and foreign collaborating ones. Nevertheless, the topic should be understood in a wide sense, being open to types of studies with significance on sustainable synthesis and applications in chemistry, materials and/or related sciences.
COVID-19 and the Cardiovascular System: From Pathophysiology to Clinical Management comprehensively covers COVID-19's impact on the cardiovascular system. Coverage includes the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approach, treatment options, and clinical outcomes of patients presenting with COVID-19 with cardiac involvement. In a concise but comprehensive manner, the book's content reviews the epidemiology, risk factors, pathophysiology of COVID-19, cardiovascular clinical manifestations, non-invasive and invasive diagnostic evaluation, therapeutic options, outcomes data, role of the COVID-19 vaccine, and long-term outcomes/management.This is the perfect reference for basic and clinical researchers in cardiovascular medicine as well as practicing clinical cardiologists who are dealing with COVID-19 patients with cardiac involvement. - Explains the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approach, treatment options, and clinical outcomes of patients presenting with COVID-19 and cardiac involvement - Elucidates new and emerging options to treat this disease process - Provides concise, well validated, published data available in one single resource
