Download or read book Mechanisms of Work Production and Work Absorption in Muscle written by Haruo Sugi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `In contrast to common practice, we have always tried to include as many discussions held at the meeting in our proceedings as possible, so as to enable readers to properly evaluate each paper presented, as well as to learn of future prospects in this field of research. Although the policy of including discussions occasions a long publication delay, we believe that it is worth repeating in our future publication, as we have met a number of young investigators fascinated by the discussions in our proceedings.... In the concluding remarks in this volume, Dr. Hugh E. Huxley, a principal architect of the sliding filament mechanism of muscle contraction, states that the molecular mechanism of myofilament sliding remains mysterious to all of us. We hope that this volume will stimulate muscle investigators to design and perform novel experiments to clarify the mysteries in muscle contraction.' Haruo Sugi and Gerald H. Pollack, excerpted from the Preface.

Download or read book The Mystery of Yawning in Physiology and Disease written by O. Walusinski and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2010-03-26 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yawning is a stereotyped phylogenetically ancient phenomenon that occurs in almost all vertebrates. As an emotional behavior and an expressive movement, yawning has many consequences; nevertheless, it has so far been poorly addressed in medical research and practice. Bringing together the latest research from many fields, this volume integrates current insights within embryology, ethology, neurophysiology, psychology, fMRI and pathology. The phylogenetic and ontogenetic aspects of yawning offer an interesting perspective on human development, and its occurrence in neurological diseases - an area explored by only a few investigators - may provide useful clinical information. This book will make valuable and fascinating reading to neurologists, sleep specialists, psychologists, ethologists and pharmacologists, as well as to anybody interested in uncovering the mystery of yawning.

Download or read book The Mystery of the Exploding Teeth written by Thomas Morris and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Delightfully horrifying."--Popular Science This wryly humorous collection of stories about bizarre medical treatments and cases offers a unique portrait of a bygone era in all its jaw-dropping weirdness. A puzzling series of dental explosions beginning in the nineteenth century is just one of many strange tales that have long lain undiscovered in the pages of old medical journals. Award-winning medical historian Thomas Morris delivers one of the most remarkable, cringe-inducing collections of stories ever assembled. Witness Mysterious Illnesses (such as the Rhode Island woman who peed through her nose), Horrifying Operations (1781: A French soldier in India operates on his own bladder stone), Tall Tales (like the "amphibious infant" of Chicago, a baby that could apparently swim underwater for half an hour), Unfortunate Predicaments (such as that of the boy who honked like a goose after inhaling a bird's larynx), and a plethora of other marvels. Beyond a series of anecdotes, these painfully amusing stories reveal a great deal about the evolution of modern medicine. Some show the medical profession hopeless in the face of ailments that today would be quickly banished by modern drugs; but others are heartening tales of recovery against the odds, patients saved from death by the devotion or ingenuity of a conscientious doctor. However embarrassing the ailment or ludicrous the treatment, every case in The Mystery of the Exploding Teeth tells us something about the knowledge (and ignorance) of an earlier age, along with the sheer resilience of human life.

Download or read book The Mystery of Life written by Peter Afangideh and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Author of The Mystery needs little introduction. He is a man beloved by God, one that the Lord has blessed with wisdom. He is a light bearer and a founder of Christian Schools and Colleges. He is one of the few that the Lord has honored by speaking to him through an angel of the first hierarchy. He is a Nigerian lawyer by training, but prefers to see himself as a Royal Priest (Mostazedek), for the lips of the priest keep knowledge. He is well acquainted with the philosophers, ancient and modern. Above all, the author is one that has found the Kingdom of God. He has satisfied the Edgar Cayce ideal. For in answer to a question on matters of spiritual development, Edgar Cayce replied, "Is the author able, through meeting his own problems, his own shortcomings, to offer promises to thee that would fulfill thy every purpose in thy relationship with others? Then choose such as an ideal and know that the promises are sure that are made by that individual entity who has offered self as an example and does not ask others to do that he has not applied in his own life" (Jesus the pattern, the Edgar Cayce Readings, Vol.10 p.298) He is author of many books including "Developing the Mind" his first work on natural philosophy. He, with his wife of 19 years and his three children, reside both in the United States and in Nigeria.

Download or read book Mystery of the Mind written by Wilder Penfield and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past fifty years scientists have begun to discover how the human brain functions. In this book Wilder Penfield, whose work has been at the forefront of such research, describes the current state of knowledge about the brain and asks to what extent recent findings explain the action of the mind. He offers the general reader a glimpse of exciting discoveries usually accessible to only a few scientists. He writes: "Throughout my own scientific career I, like other scientists, have struggled to prove that the brain accounts for the mind. But perhaps the time has come when we may profitably consider the evidence as it stands, and ask the question...Can the mind be explained by what is now known about the brain?" The central question, he points out, is whether man's being is determined by his body alone or by mind and body as separate elements. Before suggesting an answer, he gives a fascinating account of his experience as a neurosurgeon and scientist observing the brain in conscious patients. Originally published in 1975.
