      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.

      Clinical Applications of Echo Doppler Haemodynamics is precisely the book cardiologists and cardiology trainees have been waiting for. While this essential area of echocardiography is crucial to cardiologists and all cardiac imagers, there are no dedicated books for case-based Doppler Echocardiography. This often-overlooked discipline integrates physiology with interpretation of a wide variety of real-life echo Doppler tracings. It contains critical information for professionals around the world, including contents highly relevant to their day-to-day practice as well as its unique case studies. An abundance of knowledge in this area can currently be found randomly in various textbooks, but they lack cohesive, dedicated explanations and discussions. Clinical Applications of Echo Doppler Haemodynamics presents the reader with 100 different Doppler images, exemplifying (among other things) cardiophysiology image analysis, LVOT, pulmonary pressures, shunts, congenital heart disease and ECMO. It quite literally gives medical professionals a new way to look at the heart, better allowing them to diagnose and treat previously under-identified ailments. It is a must-have for healthcare workers interested in the most accurate, up-to-date methods of cardiac imaging and Doppler interpretation.

      Pain Management in Palliative Care for Patients With Cancer provides healthcare professionals with holistic guidelines and whole-patient treatment philosophies that help practitioners address a patient's total needs. It is the only all-in-one resource for when the cancer patient and palliative care patient are one and the same. While other books focus on analgesics, this resource updates on how early palliative pain treatment can often be achieved by palliative chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or other methods. The myth that palliative care is only appropriate in late-stage illness persists not only among laypersons, but amongst many doctors as well.This book provides insights into what are commonly treated as unrelated disciplines, when in fact cancer care and palliative care have much to teach each other when it comes to oncology patients.

      Genome Chaos: Rethinking Genetics, Evolution, and Molecular Medicine, Second Edition transports readers from Mendelian genetics to 4D genomics, building a case for genes and genomes as distinct biological entities where the genome, rather than individual genes, defines system-level inheritance and represents a clear unit of selection for macroevolution. In this thought-provoking text, Dr. Henry Heng invigorates fresh discussions in Genome Architecture Theory and helps readers reevaluate their current understanding of human genetics, evolution, and new pathways for advancing molecular and precision medicine.In this timely new edition, Dr. Heng fully embraces the integration of system information with genome-mediated evolutionary mechanisms, and supports this framework with recent findings and growing, interdisciplinary research. Ten evidence-based chapters discuss 4D genomics, genes and genomes as distinct biological entities, genome chaos and cellular macroevolution, karyotype coding and fuzzy inheritance, as well as an entirely novel model of evolution driven by information flow, and more. Brand-new chapters consider the creation and maintenance of system information for complexity and biodiversity, as well as modes of analyzing information-based and historically contingent evolutionary framework. This synthesis offers a revolutionary paradigm of evolutionary theory. It also hypothesizes about how information flow, matter arrangement, and energy interact.
