Present and Future Dyslipidemia Therapies for Reducing Cardiovascular Risk and Cardiovascular Disease Incidence

1st Edition
June 1, 2029
Shirya Rashid
English

In the last few decades, statins had been widely used to successfully lower ASCVD risk. Despite the efficacy of statins in reducing CVD events in primary and secondary prevention patients, there is still substantial residual risk and initial and recurring CVD events remaining in these patient groups.Dyslipidemia Therapies for Reducing Cardiovascular Disease Risk provides an overview of the latest research and developments in dyslipidemia therapies to combat elevated lipid levels leading to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). A translational medicine approach is used to discuss the background on key lipid disorders in the population leading to cardiovascular disease; clinical trial development of the new drug therapies to combat the lipid disorders and their mechanisms of action; and the target patient groups of the therapies and how they address unmet medical needs in cardiovascular disease/lipid disorders. Contributions from leaders in the dyslipidemia, metabolic and cardiology fields, they offer insights into the research and development and medical backgrounds of the new drug therapies, as well as unpublished information regarding the challenges in unmet medical needs with respect to dyslipidemia in the population, clinical trial development of the therapies and future goals for the therapies.

Kieran Mcgourty
English

Spatial Omics: Methods for Reconstructing the Spatial Heterogeneity of Biological Tissue is a complete and detailed reference on research methods that combine the in-depth analysis at single cell level with context provided by tissue positioning. The methods covered in the book include Methods that require the mechanical tissue retrieval, digestion and enrichment, Methods based on in situ hybridization and imaging, Methods reliant on next generation sequencing and hybrid techniques, and Computational based methods to determine spatial relatedness of cells. Technologies are focused on the balance between sensitivity, accuracy, and extent of features through which single cells can be evaluated, and more.Cellular and molecular biologists will benefit from the detailed experimental setup information included in this comprehensive book. Computational biologists and computer scientists involved in biological visualization problems can also use this book as a guide to interpret and analyze experimental data.

Neurocardiology

1st Edition
June 1, 2029
Mitchell S.V. Elkind
English

Neurocardiology: The Emerging Field of Brain/Heart Interactions addresses important questions and directions for research that lie at the intersection of cardiovascular care and brain science. In addition, the book provides clinicians with guidance for the care of patients with neurological and cardiovascular disorders, including stroke, dementia, and the management of cardiac causes of these conditions. The past decade has witnessed dramatic changes in the overlapping space between cardiovascular care and brain health and science. Treatment of high blood pressure has been demonstrated to reduce cognitive impairment and dementia.Subclinical cardiac disorders, including atrial fibrillation, atrial cardiopathy, and patent foramen ovale, are increasingly recognized as modifiable risk factors and causes of stroke; related treatments, such as left atrial exclusion and PFO closure, have become standard of care. Techniques developed originally in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction 30 or more years ago have now become evidence-based standard of care for patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Precision Medicine and Wellness Science

1st Edition
June 1, 2029
Vincent Henrich
English

Precision Medicine and Wellness Science: Genes, Environment, and Pathways to Chronic Disease explores key principles and practical examples of gene-environment relationships and how they affect the health status of individuals. Carefully crafted chapters analyze— drawing on both research and clinical perspectives—how genetic and environmental factors interact at the cellular level to raise an individual’s chronic disease risk, dissecting the complex genotype-phenotype relationships of several common chronic diseases and how they manifest in patients. The book provides illustrative examples from recent literature that offer scientifically based strategies for analyzing chronic disease risk and prolonging wellness. The book also discusses new and future technologies that will be important for developing and applying wellness science (i.e., lifestyle or environmental changes) and precision medicine-based approaches in the next decade, along with the feasibility and potential of recent discoveries and proposed technologies. Throughout, the book features case studies of actual chronic disease patients whose presentation involves genetic and familial concerns, demonstrating how genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors may be assessed when diagnosing an individual’s disease risk.

Aquaculture Parasitology

1st Edition
May 1, 2029
Frederick S.B. Kibenge + 2 more
English

Aquaculture Parasitology: Pathogens of Fish, Crustaceans, and Molluscs addresses the steadily increasing importance of infectious diseases of aquatic animals. With the burgeoning expansion of the animal aquaculture industry to new geographic areas, new microbial and parasitic species with pathogenic potential will continue to emerge. This necessitates rapid identification of the new pathogens to enable their control. Each pathogenic parasitic species in Aquaculture Parasitology in the book is accompanied by the full description of both taxonomic and clinical information for the three major aquatic food animals (fish, crustaceans and mollusks). The book takes a comprehensive approach to disease affecting aquaculture production, thus making it valuable to aquaculturists, clinical practitioners in aquatic animal health, veterinarians, and all those in industry, government or academia who are interested in aquaculture, fisheries and comparative biology.

Product Development in Dairy: A Sensory and Consumer Science Approach presents a practical guide to product development using dairy derived ingredients. This book highlights the various important considerations which go into new product development in the food industry, including new products and product improvement, with a practical focus on the dairy industry. After a general overview of milk and milk products as foods, the book introduces practical considerations for new product development and product improvement with chapters focusing on developing and maintaining the attribute qualities of dairy products and dairy and non-dairy ingredient interactions in milk products. As consumer acceptance is the most important thread running through product development in food, this book features chapters covering consumer perceptions of dairy as well as how sensory science and consumer science methods can be usefully incorporated into the product development process. This book is a valuable resource for food product development professionals, product managers and marketers in both the dairy industry and beyond, academics working in both the product development and dairy science fields, and postgraduate food science students.

Statistical Network Genetics

1st Edition
April 1, 2029
Rongling Wu
English

Statistical Network Genetics: Evolutionary Game Theory in Action offers an interdisciplinary integration of statistical genetics and evolutionary game theory using the latest data, codes and computational functions. While classic statistical genetics attempts to identify and map individual key genes, proteins or metabolites associated with complex traits, this book examines how entities interact with each other through this complex, yet well-orchestrated set of networks for mediating phenotypic variation. In addition, the book covers genetic and genomic networking across ecological, environmental and evolutionary factors.Written by leading experts on game theory and statistical genetics, this book introduces elements from multiple disciplines, including community ecology, network theory and physics theory, tying them into statistical model examples. It provides a platform for previously disjointed ideas and concepts of evolutionary game theory and its role in statistical genetics. This is the ideal resource for evolutionary and computational biologists, especially those seeking a thorough and current understanding of the connection to statistical genetics.
