Ayurvedic Herbs: A Clinical Guide to the Healing Plants of Traditional Indian Medicine
by Virginia M Tyler M.S. PremilaA single-source reference on the most important and best-investigated Ayurvedic herbs This book examines the clinical information available on more than 60 Ayurvedic herbs to determine how their use in traditional Indian medicine is supported by modern scientific study. Plants are grouped according to body systems and each entry includes a description, information on the source plant, distribution and traditional use, active chemical constituents, relevant pharmacology, and details of clinical studies and safety findings. This unique book also includes a brief history of Ayurveda, examines the history of drug development and evaluation in ancient India, and identifies current trends resulting from scientific investigation. Worldwide interest in Ayurveda is growing quickly, especially in the United States, Europe, and Japan. But until now, information on Western-style clinical trials on Ayurveda herbs has been scattered and no single source for descriptions, comments, and references has existed. Ayurvedic Herbs presents the first critical validation of Ayurvedic medicine, extensively referenced for physicians and clinicians interested in alternative and adjunctive therapies. This unique book is essential for making informed choices on herb use, offering clinical trial data, results of pharmacological studies, and safety information.Ayurvedic Herbs examines: gastrointestinal agents hepatoprotective agents respiratory tract agents cardiovascular drugs urinary tract drugs antirheumatic agents skin and trauma care agents gynecological agents antidiabetic agents CNS agents rasayana drugs dental and ophthamological agents and much moreAyurvedic Herbs includes cross-references to chapters when a particular plant has more than one indication and watercolor illustrations of twelve major herbs.

Ayurvedic Science of Food and Nutrition
by Sanjeev RastogiAyurveda is widely considered to be one of the oldest health care traditions still in practice today. Originating in India over 3,000 years ago, it is now increasingly recognized and practiced globally including in many European countries and the United States. Food and nutrition play a crucial role in the health care wisdom of Ayurveda. The Ayurvedic Science of Food and Nutrition discusses the various principles of healthy eating as prescribed by Ayurveda. Divided into three sections, it addresses the fundamentals, the clinical applications, and the future challenges of Ayurveda. Specifically, the book discusses issues such as the concept of diet, the use of food as medicine, especially to treat diabetes and cancer, convalescent food practices, and fasting therapy. The Ayurvedic Science of Food and Nutrition is unique in that it is one of the only books to investigate the scientific rationale behind Ayurveda, enabling this health care tradition to potentially be incorporated into a Western clinical practice model when this latter conventional therapy is found to be ineffective.

B Cell Receptor Signaling (Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology #393)
by Tomohiro Kurosaki Jürgen WienandsThisvolume details our current understanding of the architecture and signalingcapabilities of the B cell antigen receptor (BCR) in health and disease. Thefirst chapters review new insights into the assembly of BCR components andtheir organization on the cell surface. Subsequent contributions focus on themolecular interactions that connect the BCR with major intracellular signalingpathways such as Ca2+ mobilization, membrane phospholipidmetabolism, nuclear translocation of NF-kB orthe activation of Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase and MAP kinases. These elementsorchestrate cytoplasmic and nuclear responses as well as cytoskeleton dynamicsfor antigen internalization. Furthermore, a key mechanism of how B cellsremember their cognate antigen is discussed in detail. Altogether, the discoveriespresented provide a better understanding of B cell biology and help to explainsome B cell-mediated pathogenicities, like autoimmune phenomena or theformation of B cell tumors, while also paving the way for eventually combating thesediseases.
B Cell Receptor Signaling: Methods and Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology #1707)
by Chaohong LiuThis volume looks the current advanced protocols used to study aspects of the B cell receptor (BCR).

Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Cutting-edge and practical, B Cell Receptor Signaling: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for everyone in the scientific community currently working in the B cell field.
B-Cell Receptor Signaling: Methods and Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology #2909)
by Palash Chandra MaityB-lymphocytes produce antibodies, mediate humoral responses, and act as a key to the adaptive immune system of our body. The development and function of B cells are largely dependent on B cell antigen receptors (BCRs), which transmit a multitude of signals upon binding to the cognate antigen and activate the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of B cells thereof. Thus, studying the BCR signaling remains fascinating for both basic and translational research. This volume provides a collection of protocols ranging from classical cell and molecular biology applications to state-of-the-art omics techniques for studying BCR signaling. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters detail the strengths, weaknesses, and troubleshooting techniques that we hope will be helpful to researchers. Cutting-edge and thorough, B-Cell Receptor Signaling: Methods and Protocols will inspire immunologists in designing new experiments to explore the classics from a different perspective, as well as ask some stunning biological questions of our time.

BNVR: The Butt Non-Verbal Reasoning Test
by Pamela Butt Romola BucksThe BNVR Test is a unique non-linguistic approach for identifying whether a cognitive (problem-solving) deficit as well as a linguistic deficit exists in individuals with acquired aphasia. Recognising cognitive deficits in terms of problem-solving may be a key factor in understanding why some individuals overcome their communication difficulties better than others. Failure to recognise problem-solving difficulties may lead to unrealistic expectations of therapeutic intervention and thus inappropriate management and goal setting. The BNVR requires the client to solve 10 everyday problems, presented in full-colour photographic format. It is short, requires minimal linguistic input, contains real-life situations and is likely to be suitable for non-English speaking individuals. It will be useful to speech language therapists, occupational therapists and psychologists who need to ascertain whether problem-solving skills are affected and to assist in multi-disciplinary team decision-making in acute and rehabilitation settings.
BOLD fMRI: A Guide to Functional Imaging for Neuroscientists
by Feroze B. Mohamed Scott H. FaroFunctional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) measures quick, tiny metabolic changes that take place in the brain, providing the most sensitive method currently available for identifying, investigating, and monitoring brain tumors, stroke, and chronic disorders of the nervous system like multiple sclerosis, and brain abnormalities related to dementia or seizures. This overview explains the principles of fMRI, scanning methodlogies, experimental design and data analysis, and outlines challenges and limitations of fMRI. It also provides a detailed neuroanatomic atlas, and describes clinical applications of fMRI in cognitive, sensory, and motor cases, translating research into clinical application.
