Download or read book Brain s Got the Sh ts Again written by Daphne Spyropoulos and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2022-09-30 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has your brain ever had the sh*ts? Feeling down, feeling tired, the works? Well so had mine, until a vastly uneventful Eurotrip that led me to intense joint pain, that led me to celiac disease diagnosis, that led me to initially eating cardboard-flavoured things, that led me to tastier options, that led me to the slimey miracle that is the human gut, and to the life-affirming railroad that is the gut-brain axis. Whether your brain is constipated or has full-blown diarrhoea (I promise this book is serious once you actually buy it), this dubious title promises to share fun-facts about gut-brain health, all through real and imagined short stories that will keep you interested. If you are having doubts about trusting a sass-mouthed writer with your gut-brain health, let me try to change your mind by saying all my facts are cited through respected academic research, I’m a Neuropsychology extern and a Neuroendocrinology gut-brain researcher and I’m currently pursuing a Psychology PhD (no one said I’d catch it though). @daphnespyropoulos

Download or read book Surgery for Low Back Pain written by Marek Szpalski and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-03-26 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Low back pain is a very common problem that is increasingly being treated surgically. This book aims to evaluate carefully the possible surgical approaches to low back pain, with detailed appraisal of the factors leading to their success or failure. It begins by explaining the scientific basis for surgery and considering the different diagnostic techniques that may be employed, thereby elucidating the surgical rationale, indications, and contraindications. The value of conservative options is also assessed to help the reader weigh the need for surgery. The various surgical modalities, including the most recent, are then fully described and evaluated with the aid of numerous illustrations. The book concludes with a chapter devoted to evidence-based analysis of the outcome of surgery in patients with low back pain. This book will be invaluable to orthopaedic and neurosurgeons, rheumatologists, neurologists, and all who are concerned with the effective treatment of this often debilitating condition.

Download or read book Nanocarriers for Brain Targeting written by Raj K. Keservani and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-08-05 with total page 567 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new volume, Nanocarriers for Brain Targeting: Principles and Applications, covers recent research on brain physiology and the development of drug delivery systems. It explores a diverse variety of strategies that can be employed to achieve drug targeting to the brain. The nanocarriers that are discussed include nanoparticles, vesicular carriers, carriers having carbon as a core constituent, dispersed systems, and more. The inherent anatomy and physiology of the brain renders it different from other organs. The past few decades have witnessed significant research on brain ailments in response to a majority of hospitalizations that occur due to age-related central nervous system disorders. The prevalence of diverse diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, HIV-dementia, etc., affect about 1.5 billion people globally, which is further anticipated to reach 1.9 billion by the year 2020. Nanocarriers for drug delivery to the brain are seen as one of the answers to this growing problem.

Download or read book Probing Brain Behavior Relationship with Multimodal Imaging Methods and Clinical Applications written by Bin Jing and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-04-10 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowadays, exploring the brain-behavior relationship via MRI, EEG, fNIRS, and MEG has become a research hotspot further accelerated by the emergence of large-sample open-source datasets, such as UK Biobank, Human Connectome Project, the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Intramural Healthy Volunteer Dataset, the TUH EEG CORPUS, and many other multimodal datasets. Many prior studies have conducted various prediction tasks in different populations (from infants to adults; from healthy subjects to patients) with miscellaneous imaging modalities, however, to construct a precise, generalizable, and reproducible brain-behavior relationship is still facing many challenges, for example, individual variability, multi-site heterogeneity, imaging result interpretability, model generalization, low prediction performance, and lack of clinical applications

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1981, this concordance can afford particular benefits to the critic and textual scholar because of several specialized problems that The Arrow of Gold presents. It should be able to shed light on problems distinct to The Arrow of Gold even as it provides information on questions pertinent to Conrad’s work as a whole. This volume is part of a series which produced verbal indexes, concordances, and related data for all of Conrad’s works.

Download or read book Cerebral Palsy in Infancy written by Roberta B. Shepherd and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2013-08-18 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cerebral Palsy in Infancy is a thought-provoking book which introduces a new way of thinking on the development and use of interventions. Relevant to current practice, it advocates early, targeted activity that is focused on increasing muscle activation, training basic actions and minimizing (or preventing) mal-adaptive changes to muscle morphology and function. The authors present recent scientific findings in brain science, movement sciences (developmental biomechanics, motor control mechanisms, motor learning, exercise science) and muscle biology. This knowledge provides the rationale for active intervention, underpinning the need for an early referral to appropriate services. The book features methods for promoting relatively intensive physical activity in young infants without placing a burden on parents which include assistive technologies such as robotics, electronic bilateral limb trainers and baby treadmills. Cerebral Palsy in Infancy begins by specifying the guidelines for training and exercise, outlining the rationale for such intervention. It goes on to cover the fundamentals of neuromotor plasticity and the development and negative effects of limited motor activity on brain organization and corticospinal tract development. Neuromuscular adaptations to impairments and inactivity are discussed along with the General Movement assessment that can provide early diagnosis and prognosis, facilitating very early referral from paediatric specialists to training programs. The book ends with a section featuring various methods of training with the emphasis on preventing/minimizing muscle contracture, stimulating biomechanically critical muscle activity and joint movement. An ideal clinical reference for those working to improve the lives of infants suffering from cerebral palsy. CONTRIBUTORS: Adel Abdullah Alhusaini (Saudi Arabia); David I.

Download or read book Chronic Pain and Addiction written by M.R. Clark and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2011-04-20 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patients with chronic pain understandably seek relief from their distress and discomfort, but many medications that alleviate pain are potentially addictive, and most chronic pain conditions only have a temporary response to opiate analgesic drugs. This volume reviews the fundamental topics that underlie the complex relationships of this controversial domain. The authors review behavioral models and practical methods for understanding and treating chronic pain and addiction including methods to formulate patients with complex comorbidity and screen patients with chronic pain for addictive liability. Finally, the authors describe the current findings from clinical and basic science that illuminate the role of opiates, cannabinoids and ketamine in the treatment of chronic pain. Up to date and comprehensive, this book is relevant to all professionals engaged in the care of patients with chronic pain or addiction and all others interested in these contemporary issues, particularly non-clinicians seeking clarity in the controversy over the best approach to patients with chronic pain.
