      Faculty, students, researchers, and clinicians are struggling how to deal with the post-truth world as the broader public lacks an understanding of the complexity of the scientific research process. This has resulted in the dissemination of mis- and disinformation that is increasingly used to shape public opinion in medical-related matters, for example, the rise of anti-vaxxers and resistance to COVID-19 pandemic social isolation protocols. In addition, physiologists and scientists play relatively limited role when engaging the broader public in this regard. Truth Unveiled: Navigating Science and Society in an Era of Doubt provides valuable information to inform researchers and clinicians and better train students on the broader aspects of the scientific process and how to best counteract mis- and disinformation. This book is published as part of the Fundamentals of Physiology series in association with the International Union of Physiological Sciences and should be a useful resource for lecturers when training physiologists, biomedical scientists, and medical and allied health students.

      At the heart of precision medicine lies one concept missing from modern medicine – the unique genetic and biochemical make-up of each individual patient. Implementation of Personalized Precision Medicine: Expanding the Clinical Vision towards Prevention, Early Detection, and Precision Treatment of Disease to Drive Extended Healthspan establishes a landscape of precision medicine geared towards implementation of fully personalized approaches within precision medicine to facilitate prevention and early detection of age-related disease in each individual. This reference details how these lofty goals are now achievable with the science of today and tomorrow and provides the context, thought process and beginning blueprint to guide researchers and clinicians in more effectively considering the prevention and treatment of complex chronic disease. Uniquely organized, this reference provides insight into creating fully personalized precision medical treatments. Chapters include conventionally considered data such as genetic inherited risk, current epigenetic modifications, and current biochemical markers but also include less conventional food for thought such as microbiome, mitochondrial function, and dna repair. This provocative landscape makes this reference a valuable addition to the literature expanding precision medicine towards personalized chronic disease prevention and treatment.
