Download or read book Hypoxia and the Circulation written by Robert Roach and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-01-08 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just one of a series of volumes on differing aspects of hypoxia, this authoritative text focuses on cutting-edge research at the interface of hypoxia and biomedicine. Hypoxia – or lack of oxygen – is a constant threat to the human body and its vital organs, one that can take its toll in a number of situations. There are many situations in which the threat is heightened in health and disease, but mechanisms have evolved to lessen its detrimental effects. The International Hypoxia Symposia was founded to enable scientists, clinicians, physiologists, immunologists, mountaineers and other interested individuals to share their experiences of the situations associated with the lack of oxygen and the adaptations that allow us to survive.

Download or read book Perspectives of Stem Cells written by Henning Ulrich and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-01-14 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stem cells are fascinating cell types. They can replicate themselves forever while retaining the potential to generate progeny with speci?c functions. Because of these special properties, stem cells have been subjects of intensive investigation, from understanding basic mechanisms underlying tissue generation, to modeling human diseases, to application for cell replacement therapy. Stem cells come in different forms. For example, mouse embryonic stem cells can general all cell types in a body, either in a dish or when put back into mouse embryos. On the other hand, neural stem cells in the adult brain generate neurons and glia cells that contribute to the brain’s plasticity. Rapid progress has been made in the stem cell ?eld with discov- ies published in a record speed. A quick Pubmed search has returned 2789 hits for “embryonic stem cells” and 815 hits for “adult neural stem cells/neurogenesis” in the year 2008 alone. It remains a taunting task for all who are interested in stem cells to keep up with rapidly accumulating literatures. The “Perspectives of Stem Cells” by a truly international team of experts provides a timely and invaluable highlight of the stem cell ?eld gearing toward future therapeutic applications in the nervous system. Stem cells with neural potentials have attracted a lot of attention because of their promise for cell replacement therapy, ranging from degenerative neurological dis- ders to spinal cord injuries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medicinal chemistry and pharmacology are closely associated fields. They are concerned with the design and synthesis of drugs for the pharmaceutical industry. These drugs are generally organic compounds and can be divided into classes of biologics and small organic compounds. Medicinal chemistry is focused on the production of small organic molecules such as atorvastatin, fluticasone, clopidogrel, etc. The principles of synthetic organic chemistry, computational chemistry, enzymology, structural biology and chemical biology are integrated in medicinal chemistry. The study of drugs and their effects on the living body are explored in pharmacology. It involves the research, discovery and characterization of the chemicals that exhibit a biological effect. All therapies that are designed to target diseases, defects and pathogens and also advance preventive care, diagnostics and personalized medicine are a result of tremendous research in pharmacology. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in the fields of medicinal chemistry and pharmacology. The various advancements in these fields are glanced at and their applications as well as ramifications are looked at in detail. This book is a vital tool for all researching and studying pharmaceutical science and medicinal chemistry.
Download or read book Cell Death Inflammation and Oxidative Stress in Neurodegenerative Diseases written by Anne Vejux and published by Mdpi AG. This book was released on 2022-01-17 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neurogenerative diseases encompass very different pathologies, which can be demyelinating or nondemyelinating, but which have common mechanisms such as cell death, oxidative stress and inflammation. A better understanding of these mechanisms allows the search for biomarkers and targets for new therapies. This special issue brings together different data on Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis, detailing the mechanisms of cell death (necroptosis, ferroptosis), oxidative stress and inflammation but also the possibilities of neuroprotection via 5 research articles and 6 review articles. The different reviews allow us to take stock of cell death, oxidative stress and neuroinflammation in the context of neurodegenerative diseases but also in relation to other pathologies where these processes are involved.
Download or read book Hearing Impairment and Disability written by Ariel Tenenbaum and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Much research has been conducted to provide researchers and hearing healthcare professionals with updated information in regard to hearing assessments, results interpretation and case management. This ongoing research is particularly imperative to guide clinicians with optimized methods in assessing and managing pediatric patients with hearing impairment and disability. As such, tremendous research efforts have been made in determining the most optimum methods in assessing hearing using both subjective and objective tests. Since hearing loss can occur due to disrupted peripheral and/or central auditory pathway, there is also a growing interest to study children with auditory processing disorder (APD). Even though notable achievements have been observed in understanding APD, more research is required, particularly in establishing a gold standard APD test and its specific interventions. Aditionally, having an objective test such as speech-evoked auditory brainstem response is beneficial to understand how speech sounds are encoded within the brainstem region in hearing-impaired children, as well as in those with compromised neural function. In this book, we have gathered research from Malaysia and India in this field and hope it will be of interest to our readers"--
