Lycopene and Tomatoes in Human Nutrition and Health
by A. Venketeshwer Rao Gwen L. Young Leticia G. RaoLycopene is a potent antioxidant carotenoid found in fruits and vegetables; particularly high amounts exist in red tomatoes. It is not an essential nutrient for humans, but can be a potential therapeutic agent for preventing several human diseases. Since the publication of the previous book on lycopene, extensive advances have been made with respect to the role of lycopene and tomatoes in human health. Whereas the initial focus of research was on cancer, Lycopene and Tomatoes in Human Nutrition and Health represents the next major step in documenting advances in understanding the chemistry, bioavailability, metabolism; mechanisms of action of lycopene; and its role in preventing human diseases other than cancer as discussed in the various chapters of the book. The book includes chapters that discuss genetic polymorphisms; and lycopene’s relationship to cardiovascular diseases, cardiometabolic diseases, bone health, and other health disorders including male infertility, skin diseases, respiratory disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. The book includes information addressing regulatory aspects of natural health products and, in particular lycopene, presenting industrial insights. The contents of the book are selected carefully to provide the readers with the most current information available on lycopene and tomato bioactives.
Lying in Weight
by Trisha GuraA girl with an eating disorder grows up. And then what? In this groundbreaking book, science journalist Trisha Gura explodes the myth that those who suffer from eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, are primarily teenage girls. In truth, twenty-five to thirty million American women twenty-five and older suffer from serious food issues, from obsessions with calorie counting to compulsions to starve then overeat. These diseases often linger from adolescence or emerge anew in the lives of adult women in ways that we are only now starting to recognize. Drawing on her own experience with anorexia, as well as the most up-to-date research and extensive interviews with clinicians and sufferers, Gura presents a startling, timely, and imperative investigation of eating disorders "all grown up," and offers hope through understanding.
Lyme Disease: An Evidence-based Approach
Lyme disease remains a subject of considerable public and clinical interest, and misunderstandings about Lyme borreliosis continue to cause widespread concern about potential long-term disability. Although the infection occurs primarily in highly endemic areas of Europe and North America, these areas are expanding, as global warming leads to a steady expansion of the tick vectors' habitats. In the period since the 2nd edition was published our understanding of the biology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of this infection have continued to evolve. Many of these important advances have been clarified in a new US joint clinical guideline by the Infectious Diseases Society of America, American Academy of Neurology and American College of Rheumatology. The new edition of the book also: · - Updates knowledge of the reservoir hosts, competent vectors and the necessary vector-human interactions required to make infection possible. · - Explains new approaches that improve accurate laboratory diagnosis. · - Elaborates on the clinical manifestations that may or may not be indicative of infection. · - Updates treatment recommendations. · - Considers multiple dimensions of symptoms occurring in patients who have had Lyme disease. This volume is intended for all medical practitioners who will need to consider this infection in the differential diagnosis of the patients they treat. Alongside an overview of the disease and its pathology, focused chapters explain the cutaneous, rheumatologic and neurologic manifestations. The book further emphasizes how to differentiate between neurobehavioral symptoms commonly misattributed to Lyme neuroborreliosis and disorders actually associated with nervous system infection - a differentiation informed by considerable new data in recent years.
Lyme Disease: Why It’s Spreading, How It Makes You Sick, and What to Do about It (A Johns Hopkins Press Health Book)
by Alan G. BarbourA world-renowned Lyme disease expert explains everything you need to know if you live, work, or play in areas with the ticks that carry disease.Once restricted to small forested areas in the northeast and north-central United States, Lyme disease is now a common infection in North America and Europe. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that more than 300,000 new cases occur each year in the United States. Misunderstandings over symptoms and treatment increase the public's concerns about the disease—which, if not properly treated, can become chronic and debilitating. An expert on tick-borne diseases, Alan G. Barbour explains the course of illness that results from infection, diagnosis and treatment options, and steps that can be taken to avoid a tick bite in the first place. The ticks that transmit Lyme disease may also transmit other disease-causing pathogens, and these other infections are considered as well. Drawing on real case histories of individuals with Lyme disease—or illnesses that may be mistaken for Lyme disease—Barbour explains: The biology of the spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi, that causes Lyme disease The role of animals such as mice that carry the infection The life cycle of the ticks that transmit the infection The importance of deer in perpetuating the cycle The basics of diagnostic laboratory tests and how test results are interpreted How antibiotics are used in treating Lyme diseaseInfected ticks are abundant in the woods, in walking trails, and in the shrubs and tall grass where suburban lawns meet wooded areas. Barbour stresses preventing disease through community-wide ecology projects and individual and household protection. While it may be difficult to escape infection, understanding the danger, the symptoms, and the treatment goes a long way toward preventing long-term health consequences. Featuring a list of reliable web sites and a glossary of terms, Lyme Disease is an invaluable resource for everyone who is at risk of the disease or is involved in preventing and treating it.
Lyme: The First Epidemic of Climate Change
by Mary Beth PfeifferLyme disease is spreading rapidly around the globe as ticks move into places they could not survive before. The first epidemic to emerge in the era of climate change, the disease infects half a million people in the US and Europe each year, and untold multitudes in Canada, China, Russia, and Australia.Mary Beth Pfeiffer shows how we have contributed to this growing menace, and how modern medicine has underestimated its danger. She tells the heart-rending stories of families destroyed by a single tick bite, of children disabled, and of one woman's tragic choice after an exhaustive search for a cure.Pfeiffer also warns of the emergence of other tick-borne illnesses that make Lyme more difficult to treat and pose their own grave risks. Lyme is an impeccably researched account of an enigmatic disease, making a powerful case for action to fight ticks, heal patients, and recognize humanity's role in a modern scourge.

L’equilibrio ormonale Come ripristinare equilibrio ormonale, libido, sonno e perdere peso
by The BlokeheadGli ormoni sono sostanze chimiche secrete nel sangue da ghiandole come quella pituitaria e surrenale. Il loro funzionamento rientra in una rete complessa cui si fa riferimento con il termine sistema endocrino. I sistemi endocrino e nervoso collaborano per formare sistemi di controllo. Un sistema ormonale equilibrato è tra l’altro in grado di regolare correttamente crescita, ciclo del sonno, umore, sistema immunitario, metabolismo, fame, libido e fertilità. Gli ormoni preparano l’organismo a cambiamenti immediati e a lungo termine. Gli ormoni sono i messaggeri del nostro sistema di comunicazione chimica: dall’invio di segnali ‘combatti e fuggi’, al dare l’avvio ai cambiamenti fisici della pubertà o della menopausa. Comprendere il ruolo degli ormoni ci consente di identificare sintomi di un sistema squilibrato e di intraprendere le azioni necessarie per affrontare il problema.

DiBrian S. Shoredel 18 marzo 2013 Questo libro prima fornisce una panoramica su ciò che causa l’invecchiamento e quindi procede con la descrizione di alcune terapie disponibili per rallentare o invertire gli effetti dell’invecchiamento: dalla somministrazione diretta di HGH (ndt: ormone della crescita) e altri ormoni per via iniettiva, alla molto più sicura e meno costosa “terapia con pro-ormoni” - che utilizza integratori da assumere per via orale costituiti da varie erbe, amminoacidi, alimenti e altre sostanze per aumentare naturalmente i propri livelli ormonali. L’autore descrive, inoltre, altri metodi come: la terapia con la restrizione calorica, la terapia genica, la terapia con la telomerasi, la terapia antistress e alcune altre possibilità futuristiche. I brevi capitoli sono facili da leggere e l’ampia gamma di trattamenti descritti rende questo libro degno di essere letto da tutti coloro che stanno prendendo in considerazione un programma anti-invecchiamento.
M.D.
by Neil Ravin[from inside flaps] "This is a novel about doctors: what they do to each other and to their patients. And what their patients do to them. The heroes are young doctors, fresh out of medical school and taking the blame for disease and random disaster. The central figure is William Ryan, possessor of a brand-new M.D. and defender of some old and precious illusions. Ryan is a romantic extremist, obsessive in his work, in his play, and in matters of the heart. Everything has always come easily to Ryan. He is handsome, he is charming,, he is intelligent. He coasted through a brilliant academic and athletic career at college. He graduated at the top of his class at medical school. The only thing standing between Ryan and a distinguished scientific career is two years of on-the-job training at New York's most prestigious teaching hospital, the Tower. No sooner has Ryan begun his internship at the Tower when he embarks upon three separate emotional relationships, involving, respectively, a beautiful Eurasian nurse; a young patient dying of Hodgkin's disease; and Diana Hayes, an ambitious and calculating female cardiologist. To further complicate his dual internship in medicine and love is Ryan's nonstop battle with the Tower's bureaucracy and his bitter feud with the vindictive chairman of the Department of Medicine, Maxwell Baptist--a feud that threatens to end Ryan's medical career before it has even begun. This is the gripping story of William Ryan's passage from medical student to intern to junior resident to resident, and the romantic and professional pressures he must face as his life moves into a relentless collision course. Ryan's baptism of fire is set against the realistic background of behind-the-scenes drama of a metropolitan hospital."

MMR and Autism: What Parents Need to Know
by Michael FitzpatrickThe MMR controversy has been characterized by two one-sided discourses. In the medical world, the weight of opinion is overwhelmingly in favour of MMR. In the public world, the anti-MMR campaign has a much greater influence, centred on the fears of parents that the triple vaccine may cause autism in their children. Both professionals and parents struggle to cope with the anxieties this creates, but find it difficult to find a balanced account of the issues.In MMR and Autism Michael Fitzpatrick, a general practitioner who is also the parent of an autistic child, explains why he believes the anti-MMR campaign is misguided in a way that will reassure parents considering vaccination and also relieve the anxieties of parents of autistic children. At the same time, this informative book provides health care professionals and health studies students with an accessible overview of a contemporary health issue with significant policy implications.
