  • Neuropsychological and Psychosocial Foundations of Neuro-Oncology

    • 1st Edition
    • Herbert B. Newton + 1 more
    • English
    Neuropsychological and Psychosocial Foundations of Neuro-Oncology provides an in-depth review of common cognitive, psychological, and social manifestations that occur in patients with brain cancer and other neuro-oncological issues. Chapters discuss primary CNS tumors, brain metastases, leptomeningeal disease, paraneoplastic disorders, and many other topics. Effects of CNS and systemic cancer treatment (i.e., radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy) are also examined, as are current practices for rehabilitation and targets for essential future interventions in vulnerable populations.This book is fully illustrated with pathology photomicrographs, CT and MRI images, tables, and molecular pathway diagrams. Bringing neuropsychological and behavioral health trial knowledge from the bench to the bedside, this volume is an essential reference for practicing neuro-oncologists, neuropsychologists, nurses, and others working in the field of neuro-oncology.

  • Mitochondrial Transplantation and Transfer

    Biology, Methods, Applications, and Disease
    • 1st Edition
    • Gokhan Burcin Kubat + 2 more
    • English
    Mitochondrial Transplantation and Transfer: Biology, Methods, Applications, and Disease, a volume in the Translational and Applied Bioenergetics series, offers a detailed overview of mitochondrial transplantation across fundamental biology, disease and early therapeutics research. Here, more than twenty experts in the field discuss transplantation and transfer of healthy mitochondria and define future steps to improve new therapeutic applications across a variety of diseases. Emphasis is placed on the physiology of mitochondrial transfer, isolation processes and their applications, transfer methods, and diagnostic and treatment use across cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurological diseases, among other disease types. Step-by-step instruction is provided around research protocols and methods discussed, along with careful attention to the ethical implications of mitochondrial transplantation research and application.

  • Natural Behavior

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 66
    • English
    Natural Behavior, Volume 66 highlights new advances in the field, with this new volume presenting interesting chapters written by an international board of authors.There is a long history of studying natural behavior in science. In 1872, Charles Darwin documented his observations on the development of his children in words, which was published in an article titled “A Biographical Sketch of an Infant.” Traditionally, observational studies like this had been viewed as insightful but also criticized as not objective and quantitative. More recently, building on advanced computation, the contemporary approaches to studying natural behavior in the real world delivered quantitative results. New sensing and wearable technologies allow researchers to collect high-density data in everyday contexts. With technological advances, we can scale up and obtain quantitative results from real-world data. This volume contains a collection of papers on studying natural behavior of child development. Those papers aim at understanding and predicting behavior and cognition as it occurs within complex real-world situations. Compared with findings from laboratories, the results derived from natural behavior are remarkably reliable, which provides an answer to the reproducibility crisis in science. Moreover, the findings based on natural behavior can be directly applied to the real world, especially in the health and education domains.

  • Quick Guide to Endocrinology

    The Pediatric Version
    • 2nd Edition
    • William E. Winter + 2 more
    • English
    Quick Guide to Endocrinology, The Pediatric Version, Second Edition, continues to be an essential resource which focuses on the physiology, diagnostics, and laboratory testing of endocrine (hormone-mediated) disorders encountered in the field of endocrinology with expanded coverage of pediatric endocrinology. The guide is for laboratory scientists and technicians, as well as trainees and clinicians in the field of pediatrics and pediatric endocrinology including fellows, residents, medical students, nursing students, and advance practice providers and students. It is presented in an easy to read, quick format, the physiology and method of measurement for hormones essential to many bodily processes and how their dysregulation results in disease. The characteristics of such diseases and diagnostic testing including up-to-date molecular testing is addressed.

  • Melatonin

    A Ubiquitous Pleiotropic Molecule
    • 1st Edition
    • Sheikh Mansoor + 3 more
    • English
    Melatonin: A Ubiquitous Pleiotropic Molecule equips researchers with an understanding of the molecular biology of melatonin in plants. The book explores the occurrence of melatonin in several plant species, covering key aspects, including its biosynthesis, physiological function in plant growth and development, and signaling pathways. It then discusses the benefits melatonin has for plant and agricultural development, as well as how it can be utilized as a therapeutic in the treatment of human diseases. The role it can play in the oxidative stress response and circadian rhythm modulation are covered, as well as its nutraceutical potential for human health.The book also covers the importance of melatonin in a range of fields, including drug discovery and disease resistance, agriculture, botany, and biotechnology, and is an ideal reference for researchers across these disciplines.

  • Artificial Intelligence in Microbiology: Scope and Challenges Volume 1

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 55
    • English
    Nowadays, the field of microbiology is undergoing a revolutionary change due to the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI is being used to analyze massive data in a predictable form, about the behavior of microorganisms, to solve microbial classification-relat... problems, exploring the interaction between microorganisms and the surrounding environment. It also helps to extract novel microbial metabolites which have been used in various fields like medical, food and agricultural industries. As the pace of innovation in Microbiology is accelerating, the use of AI in these industries will be beneficial. AI will not only show its extraordinary potential in expanding the market of antibiotics, food, and agriculture but also offer an eco-friendly, safer, and profitable solution to the respective industries. It would be challenging to search out specific features and discuss future research on AI in microbiology with a wide perspective.
