Alzheimer's Disease Mortality
ISBN: 9783639065367 / Angielski / Miękka / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This research explores mortality by Alzheimers (AD). The Center for Disease Control estimates the incidence of AD doubles every 5 years after age 65. Research exploring the oldest old is limited due to low frequencies in sample research. This study combines 5 years of U.S. mortality files, from 1998 to 2002, to analyze mortality by AD beginning at age 60 to 64, including the oldest old. Mortality by AD peaks for decedents aged 85 to 89 and begins to decline for decedents over age 90. These declining numbers were due in part to declining decedents after age 85. Regressions found different...

Imaging PET Reporter Transgenes in Living Subjects
ISBN: 9783639115178 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Non-invasive imaging of transgene expression should
soon play a critical role in gene and adoptive cellular gene therapy clinical trials. Positron emission tomography (PET) reporter genes (PRG)/probes (PRP) are currently the most advanced technologies available for imaging transgens in humans. PRGs can be used to image the location, magnitude, and time variation of the intensity of transgene expression throughout the whole body of a patient. This can eliminate the need for multiple biopsies, which are potentially dangerous and yet do not provide a complete picture of whole body transgene...

It has been known for many years that glutamate system implicated in pathophysiology of several mental illnesses. The molecular mechanisms of these neurological disorders including stroke, ischemia, schizophrenia and hepatic encephalopathy are poorly understood. Therefore, this book analyzes the distribution between astroglial membrane and cytoplasm of glutamate transporter GLAST claimed to be associated with its activity and focuses on the activity of its coupling enzyme Na+/K+-ATPase. The study examines the regulation of GLAST redistribution in the presence of neuroleptic drugs, ammonia,...

The Association Between Joint Laxity and Female Hormones
ISBN: 9783639140163 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This thesis looks at changes in joint laxity
associated with the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and the menopause and the potential contribution of female hormones to that laxity. Four experiments were designed looking at mobility in a peripheral joint. Women with a normal menstrual cycle, pregnant women, breast feeding women, and women after the menopause, were all examined. The results of the menstrual cycle study showed that every subject underwent an increase in laxity as she progressed throughout the cycle, and that change was particularly significant in the first phase of the cycle. The... This thesis looks at changes in joint laxity

Image-Guided Radiation Therapy of Prostate Cancer
ISBN: 9783639153927 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over the last decade, interest in the use of imaging
technologies during radiotherapy has increased dramatically as the need for minimizing geometric uncertainties during highly conformal radiation deliveries became apparent. Due to this, many innovative in-room imaging technologies for treatment guidance has been developed and translated in to daily clinical use. However, with this rise in interest has also sparked the need to evaluate and understand the optimal use of such technologies for cancer treatment. With a focus on prostate cancer as an example, this book therefore aims to provide... Over the last decade, interest in the use of imaging

Sustainable and responsible preventive medicine
ISBN: 9783639017359 / Angielski / Miękka / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Preventive medicine is among the most expansive
activities in contemporary healthcare. The discipline however faces major practical, ethical and epistemic challenges. Linn Getz argues that individually oriented preventive medicine is becoming so risk focused, technified and dehumanized that its integrity and clinical potential may begin to deteriorate. Departing from everyday, clinical scenarios including cardiovascular disease prevention and pregnancy care, she documents that the current knowledge foundation and theoretical underpinnings of modern, preventive medicine are too...

Diagnosing Specific Language Impairment
ISBN: 9783639094961 / Angielski / Miękka / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A child with specific language impairment (SLI) does not acquire normal language ability at the appropriate age. Findings in SLI studies are contradictory, and the core problem of the disorder is still under debate. The present work suggests that deficient discrimination and memory functions are the essential factors underlying SLI. However, the environmental support that children with SLI receive seems to correspond insufficiently to the underlying factors. Moreover, the possible effects of SLI and its underlying factors on psychomotor and social-emotional development merit reconsideration.

Many studies of biopsychosocial adjustment following spinal cord injury (SCI) have been undertaken through the years; however, none before investigated the relative effects of orientation to life, environmental, and impairment factors on the perceived health related quality of life of persons with SCI. In this study individuals with SCI were surveyed following their initial medical treatment and discharge into the community, with a mean time since injury of nearly 15 years. The investigation utilized the Internet to collect data, a new survey methodology for studying persons with ...

Modelling Nasal Airflow
ISBN: 9783639169898 / Angielski / Miękka / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Nasal airflow has not yet been definitively characterised. In addition, there is currently no accepted method to predict airflow in an individual nose, forcing surgeons to rely solely on subjective judgement when deciding whether a patient suffering nasal obstruction would benefit from surgery. The aim of this research was to develop accurate numerical models of nasal airflow to improve understanding of nasal airflow and to conceive a clinical tool to aid in decision-making process regarding nasal surgery. This work presents the largest series of nasal geometries studied to date. Nasal...

Tumor-Targeting Taxane-Based Anticancer Agents
ISBN: 9783639242249 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Traditional cancer chemotherapy relies on the premise that rapidly proliferating cancer cells are more likely to be killed by a cytotoxic agent. In reality, however, cytotoxic agents have very little or no specificity, which leads to systemic toxicity, causing severe undesirable side effects. Therefore, various drug delivery protocols have been explored. Tumor cells overexpress many receptors and biomarkers, which can be used as targets to deliver cytotoxic agents into tumors. In general, a tumor-targeting drug delivery system consists of a tumor recognition moiety and a cytotoxic warhead...
