Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The microenvironment of a nerve cell is essential to its function and the characterization of this domain is a major issue in contemporary neurobiology. The behavior of neurons is strictly related to their physiological activity, which is itself dependent on the chemical composition of the encompassing environment. Beyond this crucial role, the interstitial space of the brain serves as a conduit for the transmission of information. The microenvironment does not function in isolation, however, because two major components are intimately involved with it; these are the glial cells of the brain and the blood-brain barrier. Progress in these areas has been made through several approaches: the use of ion-selective electrodes, characterization of glial membrane physiology, the application of concepts and recent advances in transport physiology, and the development of new techniques for studying the blood-brain barrier. The results presented will have considerable relevance to our understanding of ischemia, anoxia, stroke, epilepsy, and brain edema. All these clinical areas continue to be hampered by lack of understanding of the basic physiological processes that are taking place, and it is such issues that are addressed here. (AW).

Download or read book Inflammatory Disorders Part A written by Rossen Donev and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2020-01-23 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inflammation is a biological response triggered by different stimuli that has in the body a potentially damaging effect. In certain conditions, such as injury or infection, inflammation is a normal, healthy response. However, inflammatory disorders that result in the immune system attacking the body’s own cells or tissues may cause abnormal inflammation, which results in chronic pain, redness, swelling, stiffness, and damage to normal tissues. Mechanisms involved in promoting a number of different inflammatory disorders and their targeting for therapeutic benefit have been one of the hottest topics in last few decades. The two consecutive volumes (119 and 120) dedicated to this subject cover a wide spectrum of inflammatory disorders, mechanisms that are believed to cause them and different strategies for managing the inflammatory diseases. The volume integrates methods for studying inflammatory disorders, mechanisms that trigger these disorders and strategies for managing the inflammatory disorders It contains timely chapters written by well-renown authorities in their field The information provided in the volume is well supported by a number of high-quality illustrations, figures and tables, and targets a very wide audience of specialists, researchers and students

Download or read book Neurobiology of Disease written by Alan L. Pearlman and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of the mechanisms by which diseases alter the function of the nervous system was once well described as "Neurological Pathophysiology," the title of previous editions of this book. But when disciplines as diverse as molecular genetics and radiation biophysics converge on the analysis of the nervous system and its disorders, a title with broader meaning is required to encompass them. The change in the book's title reflects a change in its scope, as it includes much more information on functional and anatomical systems than the early editions. New to this fourth edition are three chapters on Memory, Genetic Disorders, and Brain Tumors. Infections are given more extensive treatment, the original chapter being divided into two, the first on bacteria, fungi and parasites, the second on viruses. All other chapters have been updated. For medical students and physicians the text offers and introduction to the scientific basis of clinical neurology--the framework on which diagnosis and treatment are based. For graduate students and scientists in the field of neurobiology, it describes the expression of fundamental mechanisms gone awry, and provides clues for elucidating those mechanisms.

Download or read book Neuroglia written by Helmut Kettenmann and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-09-30 with total page 1103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neuroglia is the only comprehensive reference book on the basic biology and function of glial cells. This long-awaited second edition has been completely reorganized and rewritten to include the dramatic advances in this field since the first edition was published ten years ago. The impact of the second edition will be greater than that of the first because the majority of neuroscientists now acknowledge that neuroglia are elemental to most, if not all, brain functions. The second edition covers the entire field of glial research from the basic molecular and cellular principles of these cells to their involvement in neurological diseases including stroke, Alzheimer's disease, and multiple sclerosis. It includes new chapters on transmitter release from exocytosis from glia, glia derived stem cells, glia and synaptic transmission, glia and axon guidance, an entirely new section on mechanisms of glial injury, and several new chapters on the roles of glia in different diseases. The new edition was written with both students and experts in mind. It provides a basic introduction to the entire range of glial topics and detailed information with critical assessment of the research literature. Neuroscience textbooks focus on the properties of neurons, whereas this book fills the information void about the brain's other cells. Neuroglia, Second Edition, is an essential reference source for newcomers, including graduate students, to neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, neurophysiology, and molecular neurobiology. It is also a vital companion for established researchers in these fields as well as clinicians in neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, neuropathology, and neuro-oncology.

Download or read book Therapeutic Potentials of Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone in Eye Diseases written by Yan Zhang and published by Scientific Research Publishing, Inc. USA. This book was released on 2020-05-11 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author began to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying regulation of hormone and metabolism in 1996 when he completed my bachelor’s degree in the Department of Clinical Medicine in Tianjin Medical University and began my master’s degree in the National Key Laboratory of Hormone and Brain Development, Tianjin Institute of Endocrinology. After getting his master’s degree in Biochemistry in 1999, he went to the University of Florida, one of the public Ivy League in the United States, to pursue his doctor’s degree in the Department of Neuroscience, College of Medicine. During the next five years, he systematically learned and studied, from the neuroscience and molecular biology perspectives, the retina, one of the most important tissues at the posterior part of the eye. After acquiring his Ph.D. degree as one of the outstanding graduate students in 2004, he started his brief 1st round of postdoctoral training. He went to Pennington Biomedical Research Center in the United Sytates in 2007 to receive his 2nd and 3rd rounds of postdoctoral training in the Department of Neuroscience and the Department of Neurobiology, respectively. His work during this period focused on the molecular interactions between the signaling pathways mediated by ɑ-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (ɑ-MSH) and leptin at the interface of blood-brain barrier as well as the neural circuits regulating the physiological functions of ɑ-MSH and leptin in the hypothalamus. He came back to his hometown Tianjin, China in 2010 and started to work as a full Professor and Principal Investigator in the Laboratory of Translational Medicine. He adjusted his research direction to the novel molecular interventions to retinal diseases and their mechanisms of action by integrating the knowledge and expertise during his training and education. Ten years have passed since he followed this direction. His research group has published a number of papers on the protective effects of ɑ-MSH in several animal models of eye diseases, such as the rat models of diabetic retinopathy and dry eye, the mouse model of retinopathy of prematurity, and the chick model of glutamate-induced retinal excitotoxicity. He feel it necessary to summarize these results and integrate them with the current advances, thereby offering the scholars, graduate students, and medical doctors a monograph on ɑ-MSH in the field of eye research.
Download or read book Multisensor Fusion written by Anthony K. Hyder and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 929 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For some time, all branches of the military have used a wide range of sensors to provide data for many purposes, including surveillance, reconnoitring, target detection and battle damage assessment. Many nations have also attempted to utilise these sensors for civilian applications, such as crop monitoring, agricultural disease tracking, environmental diagnostics, cartography, ocean temperature profiling, urban planning, and the characterisation of the Ozone Hole above Antarctica. The recent convergence of several important technologies has made possible new, advanced, high performance, sensor based applications relying on the near-simultaneous fusion of data from an ensemble of different types of sensors. The book examines the underlying principles of sensor operation and data fusion, the techniques and technologies that enable the process, including the operation of 'fusion engines'. Fundamental theory and the enabling technologies of data fusion are presented in a systematic and accessible manner. Applications are discussed in the areas of medicine, meteorology, BDA and targeting, transportation, cartography, the environment, agriculture, and manufacturing and process control.
Download or read book The Scientific Basis of Integrative Health written by Leonard Wisneski and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-05-25 with total page 703 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first suffering supplicant offered a prayer to his god or the first mother cradled an ailing child in her caring arms, we have witnessed how human health and healing go beyond any inventory of parts and infusion of chemicals. We humans are a complex melding of thought, emotion, spirit and energy and each of those components is as critical to our well-being as our physiological status. Even if we are just beginning to quantify and document these seemingly intangible aspect, to ignore them in the practice of medicine is neglect and an invitation to do harm. The Scientific Basis of Integrative Health has been extensively updated and expanded to provide a comprehensive guide to integrative medicine. Taking a balanced and objective approach, this leading text bridges the gap between Western science and Eastern philosophy. It provides doctors and other health practitioners with information on complementary and alternative approaches to health, that is authoritative, evidence based, and epidemiologically substantiated. Written for doctors and healthcare professionals by pioneering practitioners and updated with the newest research across and increasing range of possibilities, this third edition includes nine new chapters covering topics such as: Electrophotonic imaging; Neuroacupuncture; Naturopathic medicine; Integrative nutrition.
