  • Appetite Interrupted

    The Role of Predators in Shaping the Behavioral Ecology and Physiology of Satiety
    • 1st Edition
    • James A. Carr
    • English
    Appetite Interrupted: The Role of Predators in Shaping the Behavioral Ecology and Physiology of Satiety examines the mechanisms that suppress feeding in vertebrate animals within the physiological and ecological contexts that drove their evolution. It emphasizes the role of predation as a selective pressure, noting that the adaptive significance of these inhibitory mechanisms may help identify novel neuroendocrine pathways in future research. Written by a leading expert in the field, this book systematically explores behavioral ecology, evolutionary pressures, physiological processes, and stressors that impact foraging and feeding behaviors in vertebrates. Early chapters address why animals stop eating, reviewing the selective pressures that drive the evolution of both slow and rapid mechanisms for suppressing hunger and appetite. Central chapters delve into the physiological controls that have evolved to inhibit feeding, including the immense impacts of stress, anxiety, and fear on food intake. The book concludes with an examination of these pathways in humans and the evolution of obesity. While Appetite Interrupted comparatively approaches the mechanisms controlling food intake, predation, and hunger from an ecological perspective, its coverage of disordered satiety translates to practical and clinical applications of human nutrition. It is therefore an indispensable resource for students, researchers, and industry professionals across broad animal science and healthcare fields.

    Practice of Neuroanesthesia in Resource Limited Countries reviews the critical challenges and innovative solutions in delivering neuroanesthesia care within low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). As these regions grapple with a high prevalence of neurological disorders and limited resources, this book delves into the core principles of neuroanesthesia, emphasizing safety, efficacy, and essential monitoring techniques. It addresses the availability of equipment and medications, offering practical alternatives tailored to resource constraints. Special considerations for pediatric populations, trauma management in emergencies, and regional anesthesia techniques are thoroughly examined. This book also emphasizes the importance of postoperative care and neurocritical support, highlighting strategies for effective recovery in resource-limited settings. Furthermore, it advocates for building local capacity through training, education, and collaborative efforts, underscoring the role of simulation and remote learning. With contributions from authors across various LMICs, this comprehensive resource aims to enhance the practice of neuroanesthesia and improve patient outcomes in regions where healthcare systems face significant challenges.

    Aujourd’hui, la polypharmacologie est un outil majeur pour le traitement des patients souffrant de formes graves et chroniques de troubles de l’humeur, d’anxiété, de psychose ou de troubles du comportement.Dans l’esprit des travaux et écrits de Stephen M. Stahl, cet ouvrage offre une vue d’ensemble novatrice sur les connaissances en psychopharmacologie et les stratégies de prises de décision, en intégrant les résultats d’essais fondés sur les preuves aux données de la clinique, avec des exemples et des situations cliniques réelles. Il aborde la manière dont les prescripteurs peuvent mettre en place une « psychopharmacologie sur mesure », adaptée aux besoins spécifiques de chaque patient, en conservant l’approche et l’état d’esprit d’un praticien.Quelle que soit leur expérience, les professionnels pourront ainsi affiner et améliorer leurs prescriptions et leurs prises en charge, en ciblant les manifestations des circuits neuronaux dysfonctionnels et les dimensions psychopathologiques, au-delà des diagnostics psychiatriques conventionnels.Prése... sous une forme dynamique, pratique et en couleurs, avec des tableaux de synthèse, des encadrés et des vignettes cliniques concrètes, cet ouvrage est un guide précieux d’aide à la décision pour tous les praticiens qui prescrivent des psychotropes.
