      Fundamentals of Plant-Parasitic Nematode Diagnostics, Systematics and Classification offers a comprehensive and authoritative resource for researchers, students, and professionals engaged in nematode biosystematics. The microscopic size, morphological plasticity, and broad ecological diversity have long complicated the efforts to accurately identify nematode species and reconstruct their evolutionary relationships. Unlike many other animal groups, the full extent of nematode species richness remains largely unknown, and aside from rare fossilized specimens preserved in amber, paleontological evidence is minimal.This book confronts these challenges by integrating recent advances in molecular systematics with traditional taxonomic frameworks to build a unified reference dataset. It critically surveys the historical classification models and establishes a solid foundation for advancing research on nematode evolution and phylogeny. Rather than concentrating on isolated taxa, it presents a broad conceptual toolkit—encompassing diagnostic techniques, hierarchical organizations, and evolutionary analyses—that directly supports the management of character data and robust taxonomic publications. With its interdisciplinary scope and emphasis on both theoretical and practical diagnostics, this book is poised to become an essential reference for those working in agriculture, plant protection, and nematology.

      Diabetes and Neurodegeneration unlocks the complex interplay between diabetes and Neurodegeneration, reviewing the relationship between these two prevalent health challenges. This book begins with a simple guide to understanding high blood sugar, tracing the historical milestones of hyperglycemia, and unveiling the primary factors that contribute to diabetes development, from genetic predisposition to lifestyle hazards. The second section aims to bridge the gap between diabetes and dementia, presenting early clinical evidence, case studies, and susceptibility assessments that underscore the strong link between hyperglycemia and neurodegeneration. Biomarkers and pathways connecting these conditions are explored, including the role of Advanced Glycated End (AGE) products and their implications in protein misfolding and aggregation. The narrative extends to therapeutic strategies, evaluating the efficacy of antidiabetic drugs, targeting insulin resistance, and introducing novel interventions to arrest amyloid-associated pathogenesis. This comprehensive guide provides both clinicians and researchers with a thorough understanding of the intricate link between diabetes and neurodegeneration.
