English | 2008 | pages: 590 | ISBN: 0387791094, 1441927123 | PDF | 6,1 mb
Metabolic Encephalopathy is meant to combine and correlate animal and human studies. It is hoped that increased awareness of the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of these disorders may result in a lowering of the incidence of structural changes and morbidity. These disorders hold a special fascination for both basic scientists and clinical investigators because they are accessible, treatable and there exists good animal models for study. Therefore, this book will pull together basic and clinical neuroscience issue in the treatment of specific metabolic encephalopathies.

Metabolic Syndrome (2nd Edition)


Free Download Metabolic Syndrome: A Comprehensive Textbook
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031401158 | 2071 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 68 MB
This comprehensive reference work presents an up-to-date survey of the current scientific understanding of the metabolic syndrome, as well as an overview of the most significant advances in the field. The book offers a thorough reference for obesity and the metabolic syndrome and will prove an indispensable resource for clinicians, researchers and students. The obesity epidemic has generated immense interest in recent years due to the wide-ranging and significant adverse health and economic consequences that surround the problem. Much attention has been focused on excessive consumption of energy-dense food, sedentary lifestyle, and other behaviors that contribute to the pathogenesis of obesity. However, obesity is a highly complex condition that is influenced by genetic as well as environmental factors. The metabolic syndrome comprises of central obesity, hyperglycemia, hypertension, and dsylipidemia. The incidence of metabolic syndrome is growing worldwide, affecting more than one-third of adults in some countries. The metabolic syndrome increases the risk of developing coronary artery disease and stroke, and it is closely associated with fatty liver, dementia, cancer, sleep apnea, kidney failure, and other diseases. This reference work covers the full range of scientific and clinical aspects of obesity and metabolic syndrome: epidemiology, genetics, environmental factors, pathophysiology, diseases associated with obesity, pediatric obesity, and clinical management.

Compact Kernel Of A Metabolic Flux Balance Solution Space, The Concepts, Algorithms And Implementation


Free Download Compact Kernel Of A Metabolic Flux Balance Solution Space, The: Concepts, Algorithms And Implementation by Wynand S Verwoerd
English | September 23, 2022 | ISBN: 9811255830 | 248 pages | MOBI | 2.41 Mb
This monograph offers a fundamentally new approach to facilitate the study of metabolic networks in cells. It aims to overcome the limitations of either just a single FBA solution, or an overwhelming number of extreme pathways in a realistic network. Instead it focusses on the FBA solution space and describes it in a simplified way by extracting just a bounded subspace: the Solution Space Kernel or SSK. This reduces the relevant number of flux space dimensions by orders of magnitude, and allows its location, size and shape to be characterised. It is a multi-stage process, requiring many new concepts and algorithms for manipulating polytopes in high dimensional spaces. The book introduces and develops these concepts in a pragmatic way that takes into account the difficulties of performing analyses in a flux space with dimensions counting in the hundreds or thousands. It emphasizes the details of implementation in computational code and applications to realistic models are demonstrated. For many cases, the number of constraints and flux variables that fully specify the SSK polytope is only a single or double-digit number. This allows the range of metabolic states accessible to a cell to be further interpreted geometrically in terms of a manageable set of orthogonal diameters and aspect ratios. In addition, explicit representative fluxes, giving the centre and periphery of the solution space kernel, become available for further exploration.

Evolution of Cardio-Metabolic Risk from Birth to Middle Age The Bogalusa Heart Study


Free Download Evolution of Cardio-Metabolic Risk from Birth to Middle Age:: The Bogalusa Heart Study By Abraham Aviv, Wei Chen (auth.), Gerald S. Berenson (eds.)
2011 | 210 Pages | ISBN: 9400714505 | PDF | 4 MB
That precursors of adult coronary artery disease, hypertension, and type II diabetes begin in childhood have been clearly established by the Bogalusa Heart Study. This unique research program has been able to follow a biracial (black/white) population over 35 years from childhood through mid-adulthood to provide perspectives on the natural history of adult heart diseases. Not only do these observations describe trajectories of cardio-metabolic risk variables leading to these diseases but provide a rationale for the need to begin prevention beginning in childhood. The trajectories of the burden of cardio-metabolic risk variables in the context of their fetal origin and chromosome telomere dynamics provide some insight into the metabolic imprinting in utero and aging process. The observed racial contrasts on cardio-metabolic risk variables implicate various biologic pathways interacting with environment contributing to the high morbidity and mortality from related diseases in our population. To address the seriousness of the onset of cardiovascular disease in youth, approaches to primordial prevention are described focussing on childhood health education as an important aspect of Preventive Cardiology.

Principles of Microbial Metabolism and Metabolic Ecology


Free Download Principles of Microbial Metabolism and Metabolic Ecology by Alfred M. Spormann
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 344 Pages | ISBN : 3031282175 | 62.4 MB
This textbook examines the fundamental principles of microbial metabolism and how a microbe’s ecology is intrinsically interwoven with and a consequence of its metabolism. Further, it answers many questions frequently asked by students, such as: What are the mechanistic connections between simple phenotypic traits, ecological patterns and microbial metabolism and diversity? In the process, readers will be introduced to essential topics like metabolism and metabolic pathways, flux of energy and nutrients, genome size and fitness, competition, selection and drift.

Catapult your training efficiency and get measurable results with metabolic training! Commonly known as met con, or metabolic conditioning, this form of training is often mistaken for any combination of high-intensity exercises. The truth is that grouping exercises together without structure or purpose does not define a training style.

Echocardiography in Metabolic Syndrome


Free Download Echocardiography in Metabolic Syndrome: Monitoring and Management
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1032559411 | 89 Pages | PDF (True) | 5 MB
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a serious health condition that puts people at a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and atherosclerosis. Prevalent worldwide, MetS-related induced mortality and frequency contributes to the progression of heart failure, which can be controlled by proper treatment. This book identifies the echocardiographic characteristics that undergo changes in MetS, significantly affecting its course, and contributing to the clinical aggravation of the disease. This linking with echocardiography as a marker of heart failure due to MetS is useful for academics and professionals in Cardiology, Endocrinology, and Internal Medicine for effective management.
