  • Plant-Derived Feed Additives and Animal-Based Foods

    Linking Animal Health, Product Quality, and Consumer Perceptions
    • 1st Edition
    • Mohamed E. Abd El-Hack
    • English
    Plant-Derived Feed Additives and Animal-Based Foods: Linking Animal Health, Product Quality, and Consumer Perceptions presents a comprehensive, multidisciplinary exploration of how plant-based feed additives, or phytogenics, can transform animal nutrition to improve livestock gut health, enhance product quality, and ultimately benefit consumer health. Moving beyond conventional feeding practices, this book integrates cutting-edge science on oxidative stress, inflammation, bioactive phytochemicals, and gut microbiota modulation. It covers a broad range of interdisciplinary topics from animal welfare to consumer science, and offers a unique “farm-to-fork” perspective that connects animal feed science with public health and sustainability. Organized into thirteen insightful chapters, Plant-derived Feed Additives and Animal-based Foods addresses key themes such as functional phyto-feed mechanisms, product quality, ethical and environmental considerations, regulatory frameworks, and future trends at the feed-food-health nexus. Designed for animal agriculturalists, veterinarians, and food scientists, this book provides both foundational knowledge and practical guidance for implementing ethical, sustainable, and economically viable feed interventions.

  • Patient Treatment and Management Following an Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fracture

    • 1st Edition
    • Douglas P. Beall
    • English
    Worldwide, vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) continue to be the most common major fragility fracture, affecting patients over the age of 50, and osteoporosis is the most prevalent condition associated with VCFs. Patient Treatment and Management Following an Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fracture provides treatment and management guidance of the osteoporosis disease process in patients who have had a VCF. This book opens with a foundation of osteoporosis and VCF and then reviews clinical and radiological assessment approaches, evaluation, treatment, and ongoing management options. Subsequent chapters cover the efficacy of the different vertebral augmentation types on patient outcomes, optimization methods, decisions for osteoporosis treatment in these patients, and recommendations to improve patient outcomes. Special attention is paid to the treatment sequence and objectives following an osteoporotic VCF. This book concludes with coverage of insightful developments in clinical management and current research and features targeted case studies representing common patient characteristics that showcase varying aspects of different VCFs and the underlying osteoporosis that gives rise to these fractures. This title serves as an invaluable resource for any practitioner managing fragility fractures in older patients as well as treating their underlying osteoporosis.
