SGA-Mangelgeburt

Autor: Urs Eiholzer
Data wydania: 2016
Dieses Buch erörtert leicht verständlich Herkunft, Entstehungsweise, Verlaufsform und mögliche Auswirkungen von SGA (Small for Gestational Age) einschliesslich der Behandlungsmöglichkeiten. Die neusten Forschungsergebnisse belegen eindrücklich, dass es bei SGA-Kindern als Folge einer zeitweisen Unterversorgung mit Nährstoffen über epigenetische Prozesse schon im Mutterbauch zu einer Umprogrammierung des Stoffwechsels kommt. Der Fetus reagiert auf den Mangel, bremst das Wachstum und reduziert Muskel- und Fettmasse. Zudem passt er die Regulation von Insulin und Nebennierenrindenhormonen an. Ohne Therapie haben SGA-Kinder später ein erhöhtes Risiko, eine zu kleine Körpergrösse zu haben oder an Adipositas, einem Typ-2-Diabetes oder an hohem Blutdruck zu erkranken. Bei

Stimulation of the Peripheral Nervous System

Data wydania: 2015
Among neuromodulation procedures, electrical stimulation of peripheral nerves (PNS) is probably the most underappreciated modality. Although PNS is used for all kinds of medical conditions, ranging from chronic neuropathic pain and headache to epilepsy, depression, hypertension and heart failure, its importance is frequently overshadowed by spinal cord stimulation and deep brain stimulation. While the earlier version of this book dealt exclusively with various pain syndromes, this new volume covers the entire spectrum of PNS applications. Written by recognized authorities in their respective fields, the chapters of this title describe the use of PNS in the management of neurological, psychiatric, otorhinolaryngological, cardiovascular, pulmonary, colorectal and

Streptococcal Pharyngitis

Autor: B Mahy
H Zeichhardt
Data wydania: 2003
Group A streptococcal pharyngitis is one of the most common, but also controversial infections clinicians are faced with every day. Clinical diagnosis is often not specific; laboratory data can be misleading and are frequently misinterpreted.

Successes and Limitations of Targeted Cancer Therapy

Data wydania: 2014
The treatment of patients with advanced malignancies has undergone remarkable change in the last few years. While in the past decisions about systemic therapy were largely based on the performance status of a patient, oncologists today also take into account the pathological and molecular characteristics of the patient's tumor. Targeting specific molecular pathways important for tumorigenesis has become the preferred way of treatment for many types of malignancies. With these advances come new challenges including the optimization of therapy, recognizing and dealing with side effects and, importantly, the development of resistance. This book provides an up-to-date overview of the advances and limitations of targeted therapy for several tumor entities including breast

Surgery for the Dry Eye

Autor: G Geerling
Data wydania: 2008
All adnexal structures - the tear system, the lids and the orbit as well as neuronal and cellular components of the ocular surface itself, i.e. the cornea and conjunctiva - are involved in tear production and maintenance. If any part of this complex functional unit mutates either primary or secondary to disease, changes in tear film and ocular surface known as dry eye may occur. In this volume a panel of well-established international experts provides the theoretical foundation and describes the interaction of the ocular adnexa and surface in dry eye. Current guidelines for the diagnosis and medical management are also given.

Telomeres and Telomerase

Autor: P Slijepcevic
Data wydania: 2009
Telomeres are essential functional elements of eukaryotic chromosomes. Their fundamental biological role as protectors of chromosome stability was identified for the first time in the 1930s by Hermann Muller and Barbara McClintock based on pioneering cytological experiments. Modern molecular research carried out more recently revealed that telomeres and telomerase play important roles in processes such as carcinogenesis and cellular senescence. This special issue presents the most recent developments in this highly active field of research. It is becoming increasingly clear that molecular pathways involved in regulation of telomere length and structure are functionally linked with pathways involved in DNA damage response, cellular stress response, chromatin
