This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essai Scientifique de l’année 2021 dans le domaine Médecine - Médecine Alternative, note: -, , langue: Français, résumé: En médecine, comme dans d’autres sciences, la nature reste pour l’homme la première source d’inspiration pour déduire des lois et des protocoles de soins. Même si ces déductions ne sont pas théorisées dans les sociétés traditionnelles, elles sont néanmoins préservées sous le vocable de savoir-faire. Celui-ci englobe la médecine naturelle ou le « savoir-soigner » traditionnel que l’Organisation Mondiale de la Santé soutient lorsqu’il est scientifiquement fondé. C’est ainsi que la Chine dont la médecine traditionnelle est mondialement connue, reconnue mais surtout enseignée, 90 % des patients atteints par le coronavirus sont traités par la médecine traditionnelle en combinaison avec la médecine conventionnelle, parfois après échec de cette dernière. En fait, l’urgence sanitaire a poussé les chercheurs à explorer au maximum les substances thérapeutiques naturelles lesquelles forment la trame de la médecine traditionnelle chinoise. Dans le cas du traitement des infections respiratoires, le phénomène de résistance aux médicaments incite les chercheurs à développer de nouveaux composés thérapeutiques plus efficaces, les composés naturels représentant à ce propos une alternative de choix. De plus, l’intérêt pour les médecines alternatives sûres et naturelles ne cesse d’augmenter en raison des préoccupations des consommateurs concernant la toxicité des produits chimiques de synthèse. Dans cet ordre d’idées, l'utilisation d'extraits aromatiques ou de fumées de plantes est un processus courant en médecine traditionnelle. Ce qui est aussi intéressant de noter comme avantage de cette forme de traitement est l'effet direct de ces molécules volatiles sur les voies respiratoires.

Download or read book Genetic Diversity Assessment and Marker Assisted Selection in Crops written by Francesco Mercati and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exploitation of biodiversity is essential to select resilient genotypes for sustainable cropping systems as one of the main challenges for plant breeding. Mapping traits of agronomic interest in specific genomic regions appears as another pivotal effort for the future development of novel cultivars. For this purpose, there is evidence that MAGIC and other exotic populations will play a major role in the coming years in allowing for impressive gains in plant breeding for developing new generations of improved cultivars. This Special Issue focused on the application of advanced technologies devoted to crop improvement and exploit the available biodiversity in crops. In detail, next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies supported the development of high-density genotyping arrays for different plants included in this issue.

This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable agriculture is a rapidly growing field aiming at producing food and energy in a sustainable way for humans and their children. Sustainable agriculture is a discipline that addresses current issues such as climate change, increasing food and fuel prices, poor-nation starvation, rich-nation obesity, water pollution, soil erosion, fertility loss, pest control, and biodiversity depletion. Novel, environmentally-friendly solutions are proposed based on integrated knowledge from sciences as diverse as agronomy, soil science, molecular biology, chemistry, toxicology, ecology, economy, and social sciences. Indeed, sustainable agriculture decipher mechanisms of processes that occur from the molecular level to the farming system to the global level at time scales ranging from seconds to centuries. For that, scientists use the system approach that involves studying components and interactions of a whole system to address scientific, economic and social issues. In that respect, sustainable agriculture is not a classical, narrow science. Instead of solving problems using the classical painkiller approach that treats only negative impacts, sustainable agriculture treats problem sources. Because most actual society issues are now intertwined, global, and fast-developing, sustainable agriculture will bring solutions to build a safer world. This book series gathers review articles that analyze current agricultural issues and knowledge, then propose alternative solutions. It will therefore help all scientists, decision-makers, professors, farmers and politicians who wish to build a safe agriculture, energy and food system for future generations.
Download or read book Organic Farming Prototype for Sustainable Agricultures written by Stéphane Bellon and published by Springer Science & Business. This book was released on 2014-04-23 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stakeholders show a growing interest for organic food and farming (OF&F), which becomes a societal component. Rather than questioning whether OF&F outperforms conventional agriculture or not, the main question addressed in this book is how, and in what conditions, OF&F may be considered as a prototype towards sustainable agricultures. The book gathers 25 papers introduced in a first chapter. The first section investigates OF&F production processes and its capacity to benefit from the systems functioning to achieve higher self-sufficiency. The second one proposes an overview of organic performances providing commodities and public goods. The third one focuses on organics development pathways within agri-food systems and territories. As well as a strong theoretical component, this book provides an overview of the new challenges for research and development. It questions the benefits as well as knowledge gaps with a particular emphasis on bottlenecks and lock-in effects at various levels.

Download or read book Bacterial Resistance to Antibiotics written by Boyan B. Bonev and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-06-10 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN AUTHORITATIVE SURVEY OF CURRENT RESEARCH INTO CLINICALLY USEFUL CONVENTIONAL AND NONCONVENTIONAL ANTIBIOTIC THERAPEUTICS Pharmaceutically-active antibiotics revolutionized the treatment of infectious diseases, leading to decreased mortality and increased life expectancy. However, recent years have seen an alarming rise in the number and frequency of antibiotic-resistant "Superbugs." The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that over two million antibiotic-resistant infections occur in the United States annually, resulting in approximately 23,000 deaths. Despite the danger to public health, a minimal number of new antibiotic drugs are currently in development or in clinical trials by major pharmaceutical companies. To prevent reverting back to the pre-antibiotic era—when diseases caused by parasites or infections were virtually untreatable and frequently resulted in death—new and innovative approaches are needed to combat the increasing resistance of pathogenic bacteria to antibiotics. Bacterial Resistance to Antibiotics – From Molecules to Man examines the current state and future direction of research into developing clinically-useful next-generation novel antibiotics. An internationally-recognized team of experts cover topics including glycopeptide antibiotic resistance, anti-tuberculosis agents, anti-virulence therapies, tetracyclines, the molecular and structural determinants of resistance, and more. Presents a multidisciplinary approach for the optimization of novel antibiotics for maximum potency, minimal toxicity, and appropriated degradability Highlights critical aspects that may relieve the problematic medical situation of antibiotic resistance Includes an overview of the genetic and molecular mechanisms of antibiotic resistance Addresses contemporary issues of global public health and longevity Includes full references, author remarks, and color illustrations, graphs, and charts Bacterial Resistance to Antibiotics – From Molecules to Man is a valuable source of up-to-date information for medical practitioners, researchers, academics, and professionals in public health, pharmaceuticals, microbiology, and related fields.
