Download or read book Adaptation Biology and Medicine written by L.M Popescu and published by ALPHA SCIENCE INTERNATIONAL LIMITED. This book was released on 2013-10-17 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has become amply clear that all live forms on Earth are the products of the constituent genes expressed under the influence of continuously changing natural environment. By the same token, gene expression is known to be modified by our (or by the modern) environment inclusive of factors such as gravity, altitude, temperature, atmospheric pressure and air quality, physical conditioning as well as nutrition and/or lifestyle. Life would not survive without recruiting endogenous adaptive mechanisms responsive to challenging environmnetal factors, Biology of adaptation as well as application of this knowledge has been discussed in both health and disease conditions such as cardiac ischemia and cardiomyopathies, stroke, dementia, Alzheimer's, cancer, metal toxicity, etc. The book will be of great interest to experimental biologists and health professionals dealing with benefits and failures of physiological and pathophysiological adaptations. It will also serve as an important source of information for young scientists, postdocs and students.

Download or read book Adaptation Biology and Medicine Volume 6 written by Paulus Wang and published by . This book was released on 2011-01-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In broad terms, the present day existence of all forms of life on earth is the result of adaptation by organisms over time to the given environment/circumstance. More recently, it has also been seen that a gradual adaptation to repeat exposures to different stresses such as hypoxia, heat, cold, infections, exercise, etc. increases the resistance of the organisms not only to each of these stresses, but also to other potentially harmful conditions. An understanding of the science behind the process of such an adaptation is the key to future therapies. Several chapters in this book cover new developments in our understanding of the biology of adaptation at the molecular, cellular, organ and whole body level. Some of the chapters also consider translational aspects of such a knowledge. This book will be of great value to experimental biologists as well as clinicians who deal with a wide variety of disease conditions.
Download or read book Adaptation Biology and Medicine written by J. Moravec and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2002-08 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking a science-based look at an emerging area of medicine, Adaptive Biology and Medicine: New Frontiers, Volume 3 discusses the biology of adaptation at the molecular, cellular, and system levels in response to a variety of stressful conditions. Leading international experts present a total of 37 chapters that cover a common continuum of adaptations. For easy reading, the information has been grouped under the sub-headings: Cardiovasular Adaptation, Adaptations to Changes in Altitude and Microgravity, and Environmental Stresses. Examples of cross adaptations are included where repeated exposure to one stimulus may have applications in the treatment and prophylaxis of different diseases. Understanding disease and the mechanisms involved can help us fight disease. When you look at illness through the lens of adaptive biology you can sometimes see medical problems in a new and thought-provoking light. Offering promise for therapeutic strategies in both experimental and clinical pathology, Adaptive Biology and Medicine: New Frontiers explores a new way of thinking about physiological adaptations and their link to disease development.
Download or read book Adaptation Biology and Medicine written by A. Hargens and published by Alpha Science Int'l Ltd.. This book was released on 2005-03 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognition of adaptive processes in biological systems as a discipline is still in its infancy. It is known that repeat exposure to low level stresses such as heat, cold, microgravity, hypoxia, exercise, etc. increases body-resistance to not only the particular stress but also to other conditions. Such a cross-protection can be utilized in a better patient care. This volume describes most current developments in the understanding of the molecular basis of adaptation as well as its application in biological systems including certain disease conditions in humans. The book is based on the presentations made by internationally known experts assembled in San Diego, USA for the 7th World Congress of the International Society for Adaptive Medicine and will be of great interest to experimental biologists as well as clinicians who deal with a wide variety of clinical conditions.

Download or read book HIV AIDS and Traditional Medicine written by Ranjit Roy Chaudhury and published by Alpha Science Int'l Ltd.. This book was released on 2002 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume describes the proceedings of a Dialogue at which experts in traditional systems of medicine, researchers and clinicians in allopathy, health administrators, policy makers and media representatives discussed the role of traditional medicine in HIV / AIDS. Describing the actual herbal remedies in Ayurveda and the other systems which have been clinically evaluated, list the constraints and problems encountered and ends with a series of suggestions and recommendations for further work. It appears apparent that the traditional systems of medicine have a major beneficial effect by enhancing immunity on the HIV / AIDS related symptoms. Further research would demonstrate whether there is also an effect on the HIV virus. Imparts information Researchers and health administrators, both in the developing and the developed countries, on the current status of work on HIV / AIDS and traditional medicine in India. Provides us a set of clear guidelines as to what needs to be done for better and more effective use of standardized herbal remedies of these systems in HIV / AIDS.

Download or read book Effects of Antidepressants written by Ru-Band Lu and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012-06-29 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last fifty years, many studies of psychiatric medication have been carried out on the basis of psychopharmacology. At the beginning, researchers and clinicians found the unexpected effectiveness of some medications with therapeutic effects in anti-mood without knowing the reason. Next, researchers and clinicians started to explore the mechanism of neurotransmitters and started to gain an understanding of how mental illness can be. Antidepressants are one of the most investigated medications. Having greater knowledge of psychopharmacology could help us to gain more understanding of treatments. In total ten chapters on various aspects of antidepressants were integrated into this book to help beginners interested in this field to understand depression.
