English

Genome Editing and Nanotechnology-Based Treatment for Breast Cancers delves deeply into the multifaceted nature of breast cancer. It begins with a thorough introduction to the disease, detailing its histological and molecular subtypes and then moves on to explain methods for early detection and imaging techniques. The book also explores various treatment options, focusing on innovative technologies like genome editing and nanotechnology. In its nine sections, the book probes the elements that contribute to breast cancer metastasis and discusses the potential of genome editing tools for creating tailor-made drugs.Users will find this to be a crucial resource for researchers, graduate students in cancer research and bioinformatics, oncologists, and anyone seeking to expand their understanding of the field.

Placebo Effects in Neurology

1st Edition

Placebo Effects in Neurology provides a comprehensive understanding of how placebos work and their impact on specific neurological disorders. Placebo effects occur in both clinical practice and clinical trials. Though primarily used in clinical trials to validate a treatment, their use in clinical practice may have benefits for the doctor-patient relationship, in therapeutic outcome, and in symptom perception. This volume describes the placebo effect in neurology, ranging from psychobiological mechanisms to specific neurological conditions and methodological and ethical issues. Both deceptive and nondeceptive (open-label) placebos are discussed. Placebo effects are discussed for neuropathic pain, Parkinson’s disease, myasthenia and fatigue, peripheral neuropathies, migraine, and neuropsychiatric disorders like depression and anxiety.

Cardiopulmonary Interactions in Sleep

Cardiopulmonary Interactions in Sleep: Comprehensive Approaches to Mitral Regurgitation and Sleep-Disordered Breathing examines the correlation of these two serious pathologies. These conditions are commonly present in patients with cardiovascular disease and heart failure, and interrelated via various pathophysiological links, creating a vicious cycle of clinical deterioration. Interestingly, their coexistence not only contributes to disease severity, but increased mortality and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Yet, there is currently no book covering the interplay between mitral regurgitation and sleep disordered breathing (obstructive sleep apnea/central sleep apnea). Thus, this book fills a gap in an emerging and promising field of research. This book offers a detailed description of diagnosis, as well as discussion of coexistent pathologies including arrhythmias and heart failure. As the focus of the book is the effect of interventional therapy, it is the first to discuss the effects of surgical and transcatheter techniques in sleep disordered breathing. The effects of these interventions on sleep apnea are analyzed, with respect to the positive effect on sleep apnea and the result of better sleep respiration, along with mitral valve repair.

"Handbook of Cardiac Electrophysiology: A Primer for the Uninitiated" is a first-of-its kind volume designed to meet readers where they are regarding their knowledge of the subject. For non-electrophysiolog... physicians, it simplifies the relevant diseases and includes laboratory practices and current therapies. This book offers clearly written electrophysiological information which can be utilized by medical professionals at all levels, from practicing cardiologists, to internists, to medical students. This book explicates topics such as how to manage cardiac electrophysiological diseases in the context of aging patients, and knowing when to refer patients for specialized care. In particular, those seeking information on device therapy, remote monitoring, and pharmacology will not be disappointed. Its format is such that it can be easily used as a reference title, as well as in clinical settings to impart rapid information on presenting cases. This will doubtless become the first book reached for by those wishing to learn more about any aspect of cardiac electrophysiology.

Cardiometabolic Dynamics

Cardiometabolic Dynamics: A Deep Dive into Health and Disease is a penetrating exploration of the most consequential links between metabolic health and cardiovascular diseases. It explores the role of cellular and molecular mechanisms in metabolic dysregulation. Metabolic pathologies are often catalysts for cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis, hypertension, myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, and heart failure. Of critical import is how healthy cardiometabolic dynamics help maintain cardiovascular wellness. Cardiometabolic Dynamics: A Deep Dive into Health and Disease emphasizes how metabolic imbalances (including lipid dysregulation, insulin resistance, protein homeostasis, mitochondrial dysfunction and gut microbiota) contribute to the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases. Cardiometabolic Dynamics: A Deep Dive into Health and Disease examines the impact of lifestyle changes on cardiovascular metabolism and health. It highlights the importance of diet, nutrition, and exercise in influencing cardiovascular metabolism, and their role in preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases. Emerging technologies in metabolic and cardiovascular research also feature prominently; the book delves into topics such as the use of omics technologies, genetic engineering, computational modeling, and wearable devices. The described technologies enhance understanding of metabolic disease mechanisms, and will revolutionize diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of cardiovascular conditions. For anyone seeking to understand the critical yet underexplored relationship between metabolic dysfunction and the etiology of cardiometabolic health, this book is certain to be a compelling read.

Artificial Metalloproteins

1st Edition
Volume 723
December 1, 2025
Lisa Olshansky
English

In recent decades, artificial metalloproteins (ArMs) have emerged as powerful vehicles with which to control, implement, and leverage the unique reactivity and spectroscopic properties of their bound metal ions. This volume provides a practical guide to the latest ArM research, and is organized in a hierarchical fashion reflecting the primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary elements of protein structure. The first two sections provide a wide breadth of strategies for incorporating the primary coordination elements required for metal binding, which are further divided into the installation of heme and non-heme metallocofactor sites. The third section relates to the installation and tuning of secondary coordination sphere effects around the metal center to modulation of properties therein. Finally, the fourth section relates tertiary and quaternary protein design elements to resultant changes in properties of the bound metallocofactors. Ultimately the design, preparation, and characterization of ArMs at all of these hierarchical levels are needed to recapitulate the structures and functions of natural metalloproteins. By providing a detailed roadmap for achieving each of these elements, this volume aims to disseminate the cumulative knowledge developed by researchers around the world such that the next generation of ArM researchers can build from it and ultimately, beyond.
