The book contains both a technical element that focuses on biomechanics and engineering concepts for gait analysis and the application of gait analysis with clinical populations. Beginning with a comprehensive background on the underlying neural control of gait and mobility in humans and physiological control of balance, the book then covers analysis methods and techniques for laboratory, clinic or remote patient assessment.It then examines how gait, mobility and balance are impacted by musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardio-respiratory conditions. Lastly, it discusses future directions and provides recommendations for future studies. Combining the expertise of engineers and clinicians, this book takes a multidisciplinary approach to show how and why gait, balance and mobility can be used to tackle important clinical questions for various conditions.

      Overcoming Cancers Resistant to HER-2 Antibodies provides general updated information on the resistance of various human cancers to anti-HER2 therapeutic antibodies. The book also discusses the description of various sensitizing agents that can reverse resistance when used in combination with anti-HER2 antibodies. There have been a lot of reports in which the treatment with anti-HER2 antibodies for various cancers has resulted in clinical responses; however, there have been also subsets of cancer patients who did not respond initially, and several responding patients developed resistance following treatments. Sections cover Lapatinib, Ganetespib, Paclitaxel, Celecoxib, Emantasine, Liposomal Doxorubicin, and Kinase Inhibitors.This book is a valuable source for cancer researchers, oncologists, pharmacologists and different members of the biomedical field interested in fighting cancer resistance to HER-2 antibodies.

      Allergic Asthma Immunopathogenesis: Immunopathology of the Allergic Asthma presents a new glance to the allergic asthma pathophysiology by focusing on the immunopathogenesis and allergo-inflammation mechanisms of asthma and cell signaling pathways that can be used for various research purposes, including the design of anti-asthma treatment and target therapy for scientists and researchers. As asthma is a chronic, complicated airway disease whose mortality and morbidity rates have increased worldwide, some common treatments for asthma cannot control it nor even prevent simple inflammation and relieve shortness of breath. Thus, understanding its molecular pathways and pathophysiology is required in order to better understand the disease.
