    Seldin and Giebisch’s The Kidney: Physiology and Pathophysiology, Sixth Edition provides a common language for nephrology researchers, fellows, and practicing nephrologists to discuss normal and abnormal renal physiology and the development and diagnosis of a wide range of renal diseases. Guided by a team of four distinguished authorities in nephrology, experts from all areas of renal research and practice take readers from the structure and function of the normal kidney, to the specific cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying disease development, and into the management of renal disease through physiologic regulation. This classic nephrology reference for nearly 30 years combines basic and clinical sciences that provides authoritative, concise, and readily accessible information. Academic, medical, and pharma researchers save valuable time by quickly accessing the very latest details on renal physiology and pathophysiology as opposed to searching through thousands of journal articles.

    Nutritional Epigenomics, Second Edition, Volume Fourteen in the Translational Epigenetics series, offers a comprehensive overview of nutritional epigenomics as a mode of study, along with nutrition’s role in the epigenomic regulation of disease, health, and developmental processes. Here, an expert team of international contributors introduces readers to nutritional epigenomic regulators of gene expression, our diet’s role in epigenomic regulation of disease and disease inheritance, caloric restriction and exercise as they relate to recent epigenomic findings, and the influence of nutritional epigenomics over circadian rhythms, aging and longevity, and fetal health and development, among other processes.Disease specific chapters address metabolic disease (obesity and diabetes), cancer, and neurodegeneration, among other disorders. Diet-gut microbiome interactions in the epigenomic regulation of disease are also discussed, as is the role of micronutrients and milk miRNAs in epigenetic regulation. Finally, chapter authors examine ongoing discussions of race and ethnicity in the social-epigenomic regulation of health and disease.

    • English
    Behavioral Biometrics and Artificial Intelligence for Neurodegenerative Diseases Assessment explores cutting-edge, non-invasive techniques for the early detection of neurodegenerative diseases. The book focuses on behavioral biometrics, which analyzes patterns in a person’s actions rather than directly measurable traits. By utilizing artificial intelligence methods—like machine learning and deep neural networks—it enables the observation of subtle changes in gait, handwriting, and speech. These advanced approaches offer promise for earlier and more accurate diagnosis, potentially improving outcomes for millions affected by conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases through timely intervention and personalized care.In addition to its core coverage, the book delves into the practical applications of wearable sensors and the use of everyday devices like smartphones and tablets in assessments. It provides comprehensive chapters on how these technologies can aid clinicians and researchers in monitoring disease progression outside traditional clinical settings.
