Cartilage and Osteoarthritis: Volume 1: Cellular and Molecular Tools
ISBN: 9781588292476 / Angielski / Twarda / 358 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common form of arthritis, is generally characterized by a slowly progressive degeneration of articular cartilage, particularly in the weight-bearing joints. It has a stronger prevalence in women, and its incidence increases with age. OA is a major and growing health concern in developed countries, owing to steadily increasing life expectancy and the demand for better quality of life. Because of its chronic nature and nonfatal outcome, OA affects the growing population of the elderly over an increasing time span. Moreover, despite its relatively benign character,...

The Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity
ISBN: 9781588298027 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Thirty years ago, I published my first monograph on obesity (Bray, 1976). Many things have changed in these 30 years, but many have remained the same. Preparation of The Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity has given me a chance to survey the changes to the field and to present an update of the scientific information. In retrospect, I conclude that a major component of the current epidemic of overweight is not medical, not genetic, not psychological, and will not be effectively treated by lifestyle changes that require individual choices. We are all influenced by the prices of the goods we buy....

Heart failure is the biggest killer in the western world, and the prevalence is expected to increase due to aging of the population.

Recent clinical studies suggest that patients with congestive heart failure and preserved LV function may benefit from specific medical...

Furth- more, during the 4 years following the publication of the first edition in 2001, some progress, mainly in the basic sciences (molecular biology), has been made. The most prominent change in the clinical sciences has been the new classification of thyroid cancer, especially with relation to T1 T3 tumors. Now, tumors with a diameter of up to 2 cm are still classified T1. This new UICC classification (6th edition) follows the classification of the American Society...

Endocrine Aspects of Successful Aging: Genes, Hormones and Lifestyles
ISBN: 9783540405733 / Angielski / Twarda / 231 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. At the beginning of the 20th century, life expectancy at birth in North America and Western Europe was around 50 years of age. Nowadays, women have gained more than 30 years of age and men are trailing closer. However, according to several sociologists such as Louis Chauvel, the notion of a "greying society" is not entirely adequate since aging people are physically and socially younger and more active for a longer time. Of course, the other side of the medal is to tackle the challenge of preventing age-associated chronic diseases. In this book the extensive field of research on...
