Free Download Nausea: Mechanisms and Management By R. M. Stern, Kenneth L. Koch, Paul Andrews
2011 | 480 Pages | ISBN: 0195178157 | PDF | 4 MB
Nausea is a complex sensation that results from the interaction of certain fixed biological factors, such as gender, with changeable psychological factors, such as anxiety. This is the first book to provide a complete, in-depth explanation of what we know about nausea, along with the latest research results on its causes and treatment. As it is the product of long-term collaboration between scientists from the three main approaches to studying and treating nausea–psychology, gastroenterology, and physiology–the information this book provides is both comprehensive and well integrated.The book is divided into two parts, on mechanisms and management, respectively, and four sections. The chapters in Section I introduce the concept of nausea as a protective control mechanism with individual dynamic thresholds, explain the function of nausea, review past and present conceptions of nausea, and describe the prevalence of nausea in different conditions. Section II includes four basic chapters that review what is known about the physiological bases of nausea. Other chapters explore the roles of the central nervous system, autonomic nervous system, endocrine system, and gastric dysrhythmias. Section III presents the difficult problem of measuring nausea, with chapters focusing on measuring nausea in humans and studying it in animals. Section IV forms the second part of the book, on the management of nausea. The main chapters cover nausea and its treatment in several conditions, including chronic nausea, diabetes, pregnancy, post-operative, cancer and its treatment, and provocative motion. A final chapter discusses future research, including three preliminary studies of novel treatment approaches.

Free Download N. Cary Engleberg MD, Terence Dermody PhD, Victor DiRita PhD, "Schaechter’s Mechanisms of Microbial Disease"
English | 2012 | ISBN: 0781787440 | PDF | pages: 846 | 137.4 mb
Schaechter’s Mechanisms of Microbial Disease provides students with a thorough understanding of microbial agents and the pathophysiology of microbial diseases. The text is universally praised for "telling the story of a pathogen" in an engaging way, facilitating learning and recall by emphasizing unifying principles and paradigms, rather than forcing students to memorize isolated facts by rote. The table of contents is uniquely organized by microbial class and by organ system, making it equally at home in traditional and systems-based curricula. Case studies with problem-solving questions give students insight into clinical applications of microbiology, which is ideal for problem-based learning.

Free Download Recent Advances in Industrial Machines and Mechanisms
English | 2024 | ISBN: 9819942691 | 672 Pages | PDF (True) | 31 MB
This book presents select proceedings of the Conference on Industrial Problems on Machines and Mechanisms (IPRoMM 2022). It presents a comprehensive coverage of the recent developments in analysis, design and manufacturing of a range of modern and next-generation industrial machines, and solutions to mitigate common and emerging problems in their maintenance and operation. The topics covered include design, manufacturing and performance analysis of mechanical and mechatronic machine components and assemblies, machine dynamics including rotor dynamics, vehicle dynamics, and multi-body dynamics, robotics and automation, hydraulic and pneumatic systems and control, vibration engineering, tribology, condition monitoring, failure analysis, manufacturing systems and processes, reliability and quality engineering, thermo-fluid and combustion systems, aerospace systems, acoustics, automotive engineering, etc. The book discusses theoretical and practical developments in these fields which have direct industrial relevance. The book serves as a valuable reference for researchers and professionals interested in analysis, design, manufacturing, maintenance, and operation of industrial machinery.

Free Download Stuart Glennan, "The Routledge Handbook of Mechanisms and Mechanical Philosophy "
English | ISBN: 1138841692 | 2017 | 474 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
Scientists studying the burning of stars, the evolution of species, DNA, the brain, the economy, and social change, all frequently describe their work as searching for mechanisms. Despite this fact, for much of the twentieth century philosophical discussions of the nature of mechanisms remained outside philosophy of science.

Free Download Gérard Reach, "The Mental Mechanisms of Patient Adherence to Long-Term Therapies: Mind and Care "
English | ISBN: 3319122649 | 2015 | 228 pages | EPUB | 1118 KB
How can we accept that we ought to stop smoking, follow a diet, exercise, or take medications? The goal of this book is to describe the mechanisms of patients’ adherence to long-term therapies, whose improvement, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), would be more beneficial than any biomedical progress. For example, approximately half of the patients do not regularly follow medical prescriptions, resulting in deleterious effects on people’s health and a strong impact on health expenditure. This book describes how our beliefs, desires, and emotions intervene in our choices concerning our health, by referring to concepts developed within the framework of the philosophy of mind. In particular, it tries to explain how we can choose between an immediate pleasure and a remote reward―preserving our health and our life. We postulate that such an "intertemporal" choice can be directed by a "principle of foresight" which leads us to give priority to the future. Just like patients’ non-adherence to prescribed medications, doctors often don’t always do what they should: They are non-adherent to good practice guidelines. We propose that what was recently de-scribed as "clinical inertia" could also represent a case of myopia: From time to time doctors fail to consider the long-term interests of their patient. Both patients’ non-adherence and doctors’ clinical inertia represent major barriers to the efficiency of care. However, it is also necessary to respect patients’ autonomy. The analysis of relationship between mind and care which is provided in this book sheds new light on the nature of the therapeutic alliance between doctor and patient, solving the dilemma between the ethical principles of beneficence and autonomy.
