Gamma-Glutamyl Transpeptidases: Structure and Function
by Immacolata Castellano Antonello MerlinoGamma-Glutamyl Transpeptidases (γ-GTs) are members of the N-terminal nucleophile hydrolase superfamily, enzymes that cleave the γ-glutamyl amide bond of glutathione to liberate cysteinylglycine. The released γ-glutamyl group can be transferred to water (hydrolysis) or to amino acids or short peptides (transpeptidation). γ-GT plays a key role in the gamma glutamyl cycle by regulating the cellular levels of the antioxidant glutathione, hence it is a critical enzyme in maintaining cellular redox homeostasis.γ-GT is upregulated during inflammation and in several human tumors, and it is involved in many physiological disorders related to oxidative stress, such as Parkinson's disease and diabetes. Furthermore, this enzyme is used as a marker of liver disease and cancer. This book covers current knowledge about the structure-function relationship of γ-GTs and gives information about applications of γ-GTs in different fields ranging from clinical biochemistry to biotechnology and biomedicine.
Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate: Pharmacological and Functional Aspects
by Godfrey Tunnicliff Christopher D. CashGamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) has come a long way since early experiments in animals where it was found to induce a sleep-like state and from its use in general anaesthesia in human subjects. It has been found to be a naturally-occurring compound in the brain, a metabolite of GABA, the emerging ubiquitous inhibitory neurotransmitter. This has opened
Gandhi and the Psychology of Nonviolence, Volume 1: Scientific Roots and Development
by Rita Agrawal V. K. KoolThe first of two volumes, this book examines Gandhi’s contribution to an understanding of the scientific and evolutionary basis of the psychology of nonviolence, through the lens of contemporary researches on human cognition, empathy, morality and self-control.While, psychological science has focused on those participants that delivered electric shocks in Professor Stanley Milgram’s famous experiments, these books begin from the premise that we have neglected to fully explore why the other participants walked away. Building on emergent research in the psychology of self control and wisdom, the authors illustrate what Gandhi’s life and work offers to our understanding of these subjects who disobeyed and defied Milgram.The authors analyze Gandhi’s actions and philosophy, as well as original interviews with his contemporaries, to elaborate a modern scientific psychology of nonviolence from the principles he enunciated and which were followed so successfully in his Satyagrahas. Gandhi, they argue, was a practical psychologist from whom we can derive a science of nonviolence which, as Volume 2 will illustrate, can be applied to almost every subfield of psychology, but particularly to those addressing the most urgent issues of the 21st century. This book is the result of four decades of collaborative work between the authors. It marks a unique contribution to studies of both Gandhi and the current trends in psychological research that will appeal in particular to scholars of social change, peace studies and peace psychology, and, serve as an exemplar in teaching one of modern psychology’s hitherto neglected perspectives.
Ganganalyse en looptraining: voor de paramedicus
by Jos Deckers Dominiek BeckersDit boek behandelt op een gestructureerde wijze de ganganalyse als basis voor een therapeutische looptraining. Het bespreekt het normale loopbeeld en gaat vervolgens dieper in op specifieke loopafwijkingen. Veel somatische letsels en aandoeningen leiden tot een verstoring van het normale gaan of lopen. Fysiotherapeuten en paramedici worden dan ook dagelijks geconfronteerd met problemen op dit gebied. In Ganganalyse en looptraining komen zowel orthopedische als perifere en centrale neurologische aandoeningen aan bod. Daarnaast behandelt het loopafwijkingen die zijn veroorzaakt door aandoeningen aan heup, knie en voet, evenals het gebruik van orthopedische hulpmiddelen, zoals orthesen. Met behulp van een analyseformulier worden de problemen in de gang duidelijk en inzichtelijk. Op basis van de geanalyseerde problemen in het formulier kan de therapeut komen tot een duidelijke probleemstelling en daaruit volgend een behandelplan. Om te komen tot een therapeutische oplossing worden de veroorzakers van gangafwijkingen uitgebreid beschreven. Deze tweede, volledig herziene druk beschrijft niet alleen de meest frequente loopproblemen, maar ook de oorzaken en de bijbehorende trainingsindicaties. De praktische en didactische waarde van het boek wordt nog verhoogd door de bijbehorende website vol boeiend digitaal lesmateriaal met uitgebreide casuïstiek. Ganganalyse en looptraining richt zich in het bijzonder op eerste- en tweedelijnsfysiotherapeuten, fysiotherapeuten in opleiding en geriatriefysiotherapeuten. Daarnaast is dit boek relevant voor revalidatieartsen, oefentherapeuten, ergotherapeuten en orthopedisch instrumentmakers.

Gaps and Actions in Health Improvement from Hong Kong and Beyond: All for Health
by Ben Yuk Fai Fong William Chi Wai WongThis book provides a timely review on what has been accomplished, and what remains amiss, following the World Health Organization’s 1978 ‘Health for All’ campaign, by identifying enduring gaps in health care within a global context. The WHO declaration of "Health for All by the Year 2000" mapped out a road towards primary health care for all people and demarcated it as essential for human progress in terms of economic development and social justice. However, 45 years have gone by, and most societies and countries have yet achieved 'health for all’, despite so much having changed in technology, disease patterns, and population demographics. In promoting community health and improving service delivery, the book advocates the development and implementation of “All For Health” strategies to steer stakeholders in the right direction towards universal health care. The book covers the gaps and actions in health improvements, the ‘All For Health’ strategies, and the Health in All Policies (HiAP), reviewing and discussing issues through both Asian and international examples. Contributors include both academics and practitioners from diverse professional backgrounds including medicine, nursing, pharmacy, allied health, dietetics, social sciences, life sciences, education, business, administration, law, and public policy. Essential to scholars in public health and related disciplines, this book is also useful to policymakers, community and public health practitioners, and health care executives and interns.
Gardening Behind Bars: Clinical Sociology and Food Justice in Incarcerated Settings (Clinical Sociology: Research and Practice)
by Sharon Lindhorst Everhardt Daniela Jauk-Ajamie Stephen B. Carmody Brenda I. GillThis book connects clinical sociology to the food justice movement through gardens in incarcerated settings. Situated within the larger food justice movement, the authors highlight the shortcomings of the global food system and the inequalities produced by the lack of adequate nutrition, particularly in the context of marginalized populations, such as those in carceral institutions. The book provides an up-to-date overview of horticulture programs in different incarcerated settings in the US, including prisons and community correction units, and provides in-depth discussion on innovative best-practice models. It also features a detailed analysis of an ongoing multi-site research project on gardening in incarcerated settings for women at local, state, and federal levels. Unlike other literature on prison and jail horticulture, this book contextualizes gardening in incarcerated settings with critical historical analysis, presenting the theoretical background to sociological action research projects. Serving as a starting point for establishing gardening as an evidence-based practice in prisons and jails, it is essential reading for researchers and practitioners of clinical sociology and social work, criminologists, prison and corrective institution administrators, and citizen groups interested in therapeutic gardening and alternatives to industrial prison food.

Gasless Single-Port RoboSurgeon Surgery in Urology
by Kazunori KiharaThis book focuses on a novel series of minimally invasive surgeries performed without gas insufflation and through a single port using the RoboSurgeon system. The concept of RoboSurgeon surgery involves a degree of "robotization" of the operator and participants. The operator, wearing a head-mounted display, uses robot-like handheld instruments. The endoscope is controlled by the movement of the operator's head using a gyro-sensor system. All participants wearing head-mounted displays can see the same images as the operator does. Although this surgery is mainly intended for urological cancers, it may also be applicable for various operations concerning other urological diseases, as well as for the treatment of diseases in different medical fields. The system has the potential to become the new standard in robotic surgery. This solution may be a boon to many patients around the world, especially in the aging societies many countries are now facing.
