Temperature Regulation in Humans and Other Mammals
ISBN: 9783642639845 / Angielski / Miękka / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How do mammals manage to maintain their body temperature within the same narrow range in environments as different as polar regions and hot deserts? This advanced text describes the morphological features and physiological mechanisms by which humans and other mammals maintain their body temperature within a narrow range despite large variations in climatic conditions and internal heat production. Its 19 chapters deal with the physics of heat exchange with the environment, and the autonomic and behavioural mechanisms available to control the loss and production of heat. The neuronal basis of...

Biologic Effects of Light 1998: Proceedings of a Symposium Basel, Switzerland November 1-3, 1998
ISBN: 9781461372967 / Angielski / Miękka / 491 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It is remarkable how much we take for granted the tremendous energy and vitality that the sun provides earth's inhabitants. As we enter the new millennium, it is worthwhile to review how our ancestors perceived the biologic effects of sunlight, and how science and medicine have advanced our knowledge about the biologic effects of light.
At the turn of the century, a multitude of investigators explored the use of sunlight and artificial radiation for treating a multitude of diseases. These explorations gave rise to photodynamic therapy, phototherapy, and chemophototherapy. However,...

Ecto-Atpases: Recent Progress on Structure and Function
ISBN: 9781461377290 / Angielski / Miękka / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It has been known for almost 50 years that many cells carry enzymes that hydro- lyze extracellular ATP, and the term "ecto-ATPase" was used first by Engelhardt 40 years ago. But until the end of the 1970's, the idea of an ATPase with its ATP hydrolyzing site on the outside of the cell membrane was met with substantial skepticism since it was thought that ATP was strictly intracellular. Nevertheless, ecto-ATPase activity was dem- onstrated using a variety of intact cells. Most ecto-ATPase(s) exhibited three common 2 characteristics: 1) activation by either Ca + or Mg2+, 2) insensitivity to the...

Human Body Dynamics: Classical Mechanics and Human Movement
ISBN: 9780387988016 / Angielski / Twarda / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The human body is a machine whose movements are directed by the soul, wrote Rene Descartes in the early seventeenth century. The intr- sic mechanisms of this machine gradually became clear through the hard work of Renaissance scientists. Leonardo da Vinci is one such scientist from this period of enlightenment. In pursuit of knowledge, Leonardo dissected the bodies of more than 30 men and women. He sawed the bones lengthwise, to see their internal structure; he sawed the skull, cut through the vertebrae, and showed the spinal cord. In the process, he took extensive notes and made carefully...

Cardiovascular Genomics: New Pathophysiological Concepts: Proceedings of the 2001 European Science Foundation Workshop in Maastricht
ISBN: 9781461353478 / Angielski / Miękka / 275 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Four years ago-in December 1997-the first European Science Foundation Workshop on Cardiovascular Specific Gene Expression was held in Maastricht. It was hardly possible to imagine the progress in the field in those four years. In 1997, gene expression was still an art focused on individual genes; in 200 I, many labs have access to micro-array facilities to determine the expression of thousands of genes simultaneously. In 1997, gene expression was an area of fundamental research in basis molecular biology laboratories; in 200 I, clinical cardiovascular research has incorporated gene expression...

Collateral Circulation: Heart, Brain, Kidney, Limbs
ISBN: 9781461363514 / Angielski / Miękka / 406 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Collateral blood vessels develop by growth of pre or newly formed structures in almost all vascular provinces as a consequence of progressing stenosis of the main artery. These alternative routes of blood supply are potentially able to alter the course of vascular disease. Collateral development is a time consuming process, and arterial stenosis and occlusion often progress faster than growth of the alternative routes.
The authors' ultimate goal is to provide a better understanding of collateral growth in order to pave the way for improving the conditions for these potentially...

Readers have access to legions of books dealing with the molecular, genetic, neurochemical, neurophysiological, neuroanatomical, neuroradiological and psychological aspects of pain as well as with the clinical approaches to pain from various medical disciplines. Why then is it necessary to publish a book on the pathophysiologyofpain perception? Pain can result either from noxious events due to lesions, injuries, diseases, etc., or from disturbances in the system transducing, transforming, and processing the potential pain signal or from an interaction of both. Under certain pathological...

Potassium Channels in Cardiovascular Biology
ISBN: 9781461354871 / Angielski / Miękka / 899 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Potassium channels (K+) are membrane-spanning proteins which serve many important functions and are becoming a hot topic in physiology. K+ channels determine or modulate many functions of vascular smooth muscle, endothelial and inflammatory cells, and thus are central to regulation of arterial tone and control of cell proliferation. They are also promising targets for antihypertensive treatments with drugs which open and close specific types of K+ channels, making for an active field of research. With their ability to control vascular tone, voltage-gated...
