Mosaic of Autoimmunity
The Mosaic of Autoimmunity: The Novel Factors of Autoimmune Diseases describes the multifactorial origin and diversity of expression of autoimmune diseases in humans. The term implies that different combinations of factors in autoimmunity produce varying and unique clinical pictures in a wide spectrum of autoimmune diseases. Most of the factors involved in autoimmunity can be categorized into four groups: genetic, immune defects, hormonal and environmental factors. In this book, the environmental factors are reviewed, including infectious agents, vaccines as triggers of autoimmunity, smoking and its relationship with rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, thyroid disease, multiple sclerosis and inflammatory bowel diseases. An entirely new syndrome, the autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA), is also included, along with other diseases that are now recognized as having an autoimmune etiopathogenesis.
Crosstalk between MicroRNA and Oxidative Stress in Physiology and Pathology
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that are 19–24 nucleotides in length, following maturation. Recent evidence has demonstrated their key role as post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression through the binding of specific sequences within target messenger RNA (mRNA). miRNAs are involved in the synthesis of a very large number of proteins, and it is speculated that they could regulate up to 30% of the human genome. They control virtually every cellular process and are essential for animal development, cell differentiation, and homeostasis. Altered miRNA expression has been linked to such pathological events as inflammatory, degenerative, or autoimmune processes and have been...
Promoting Health for Computer Users in the Workplace
Workplace health promotion and well-being are essential for raising awareness about potential health risks, and helping workers avoid them in order to lead a more fulfilling life. The present book presents the health risks that computer users are prone to and possible measures for the mitigation of said risks. For example, the book outlines the effects of different spa treatments for relieving muscular tension, which can be a side effect of the sedentary nature of computer use in the workplace. In addition to physical inactivity, computer users also suffer from unhealthy eating habits. So, the book also outlines dietary and physical activity recommendations for people working with computers and suggests measures for employers to implement in the office. Working long hours on the computer leaves a mark on one’s mental health; the adverse effects are related to addictions or the infliction of stressful situations like cyberbullying. In recent years, online working or meeting environments have become popular, which has led to the emergence of Zoom fatigue. The current book provides suggestions for participating in online meetings more healthily.
