Download or read book Vitamin C written by Alan B. Clemetson and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-01-10 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The factors affecting blood vitamin C levels are described in detail in this series. Many factors such as aging, smoking, infection, trauma, surgery, hemolysis, hormone administration, heavy metals, pregnancy, alcohol, ionizing radiation and several medicines have been found to cause a disturbance of ascorbic acid metabolism and to reduce blood vitamin C levels. Indeed, abnormalities of ascorbic acid metabolism, due to factors such as smoking, occur much more frequently than does dietary vitamin C deficiency today.It is now known that low blood vitamin C levels are associated with histaminemia (high blood histamine levels), and also that ascorbate-responsive histaminemia is common in apparently healthy people. High blood histamine levels are believed to cause small hemorrhages within the inner walls of the blood vessels and these may lead to the deposition of cholesterol, as an aberrant form of wound healing. Ascorbic acid not only reduces blood histamine levels, but also aids the conversion of cholesterol to bile acids in the liver. The clinical pathological and chemical changes observed in ascorbic acid deficiency are discussed in detail. Several diseases and disorders associated with low blood vitamin C levels are also described. Possible toxic effects resulting from the oxidation of ascorbic acid are noted, and reasons for the use of D-catechin or other chelating fiber to prevent or minimize the release of ascorbate-free radical are detailed. An excellent reference for physicians, nutritionists and other scientists

Download or read book The Healthy Socialist Life in Maoist China 1949 1980 written by Renée Krusche and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-10-25 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book observes the growing importance of individual well-being for collective health in socialist China and the limitations this brought on the authorities. Engaging with contemporary popular media discourse—including handbooks and magazine articles on health and health practices—to demonstrate how biomedical knowledge was ingrained in the readership, this book uncovers the detailed path to health propagated by state media for the Chinese population. This authority-sanctioned discussion opened up a space for talking about a body entwined with production and the personal experience of daily life. Nutrition, exercise, and rest were the main fields in which the party– state encouraged and accommodated healthy behavior to foster a strong population in the wake of the building of the "New China." These three case studies highlight the network of social groups, institutions, and experts involved in the production and implementation of health knowledge as well as the continuity of health discourse itself. Through a thorough exploration of these three pillars of health and the emerging debate on civilization diseases, this book unearths the often-ignored limits of state control over human bodies.

Download or read book Fractured Shadows written by SATINDER K. VIG and published by Annu Aggarwal. This book was released on 2022-03-15 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is dedicated to all Sikhs, Muslims and Hindus who did not forsake their humanity during the partition of India and saved the lives of those who prayed differently even at the cost of their own lives. There is no vanity greater than the spiritual arrogance of the virtuous. A single unseasonal shower and the buried seeds of weeds spring to life to mock at your pseudo status of saintliness. It is not easy to keep spiritual chastity unsullied in a world where everything but truth prevails. Peshawar remains forever the burial ground of empires, armies and ambitions of those that wanted to grow rich at the expense of the EARTH. It will hold aloft only the Stoopas of harbingers of peace and goodwill for fellow humans. Buddha, the mendicant, towers over the landscape enriching the heritage of humanity and the bones of conquerors have enriched the fertile soil of unconquerable Peshawar. The Black Hole is a historical reminder and warning to all future imperialists. It is only in our era that truth is a piece of merchandise that has a limited shelf life as on a departmental store shelf. Falsehood has a rich, fancy wardrobe and need not wear the same ensemble twice. Eternal awareness is the only armor for a seeker of emancipation from the karmic cycle. My book “FS” is just like music, a catharsis that brings out my repressed feelings and memories into consciousness – a cleansing of my soul. “Fitrat ke Maqasid ki Karta hai Nigehbani, Ya Banda-e-Sehrai Ya Mard – e-Kuhistani” The man of the desert or of the mountains are chosen by Nature, for her aims to attain Regarding Afghanistan, Iqbal’s intuition about future-gazing was more insightful than his historical analysis of eras of antiquity. His Marde Kohistani often ran the gauntlets that history since Alexander’s invasion of India threw at him. Armies down the ages have been using the mountainous terrain for onward passage to plunder the prosperous peoples that lay beyond their passes. Fierce tribes, residing these inhospitable hills, given to warring among themselves in normal times were quick to sink their differences and vanquish any intruder daring to force their way through the countryside. Their ruthless tactics were more than a match for any invader. Greeks, Mughals, British, Russians and Americans have tested and tasted Afghan zest for fight and indomitable will to conquer their adversaries on home ground. So far, the tribes were able to scatter their foes and get back to their traditional infighting. American exodus is trying out the Marde-Kohistani by running a different gauntlet. Afghans are forced out of their citadels and fastnesses by internal foes of the same religious persuasion and scattered all over the world as refugees. Till yesterday, contingents of the most powerful, militarized nations won over the trust of 40 Million to step out of their traditional feudal order and join the comity of nations as a nascent modern state. For more than a decade fiercely independent people of Afghanistan reposed faith in the sincerity of their liberators, only to realize the extent of perfidious trap sprung upon them by the occupation armies out of sheer self-interest and preservation instinct. Reprisals visited on the betrayers may not be fast but have no doubt they will be furious. For an Afghan revenge and honor killing are non-negotiable. All this was avoidable till early July and August 2021 saw the most shameful capitulation by the mightiest military on this planet so far. The inevitable has to run its course and Marde Kohistani has to be its chosen instrument albeit from other locations. A similar scenario and fate was faced by me in another era and century in the month of August 1947 with an uncanny resemblance to Afghan betrayal when I fled Lahore. NANAK DEV JEE very wisely exhorted to respect SHABAD (word) and avoid mutilations leading to warfare.
