Springer International Publishing AG Duodenal Switch and Its Derivatives in Bariatric
Book SynopsisThis book provides extensive information on the duodenal switch and all of its derivatives. The number of procedures performed is progressively increasing, as cases of obesity are on the rise and patients’ body mass index (BMI) is getting higher. It discusses all the techniques involved in the duodenal switch procedure and its derivatives used in the primary and revision situations. Readers will learn what the procedure can offer not only in terms of weight loss, but also its potential with regard to metabolic diseases, since some data indicates that the duodenal switch may lead to rapid resolution of diabetes and other comorbidities. The work is divided into three parts, the first of which provides an overview of the duodenal switch, its history, mechanisms of action and reasons for performing it. Part II covers patient selection, risk assessment, complications and different techniques regarding weight loss surgery. In addition, there are chapters on nutrition and psychological aspects. Lastly, the chapters in Part III address patient selection and preoperative and postoperative care in metabolic and diabetes type 2 surgeries. The most important information on the duodenal switch is gathered in a single volume and includes its benefits for metabolic diseases. This book will give healthcare professionals new confidence with regard to this procedure and may serve as a reference guide not only for the bariatric community (surgeons, PA, ARNP, nutritionists) but also for teaching new residents and fellows.Table of ContentsPart I – Introduction 1.

Christl Kiener Studies in Biodynamic Embryology: Concept,
Book SynopsisIn his writings Blechschmidt consistently accessed and described the subject of human embryology from the viewpoint of biodynamic metabolic fields and focuses his attention on the question: How does human form arise? Blechschmidt wrote and published exclusively in German. It was mostly through a German/English bi-lingual volume published by Karger (“The Stages of Human Development Before Birth”, 1960) and an exceptional cooperation with his co-author R. F. Gasser (“Biokinetics and Biodynamics of Human Differentiation”, 1978), that his work became partly available to an international English speaking audience. “The Beginnings of Human Life” (1977) was written primarily for the general public, but is no longer in print. The publication of Brian Freeman's translation of “The Ontogenetic Basis of Human Anatomy” (2004), contributed to a growing interest in Blechschmidt's ideas. Slowly osteopaths, Structural Integrators, cranial practitioners and other therapists began to appreciate his work. The books mentioned above offer both a general and comprehensive access to the morphological cosmos described by Blechschmidt but, unfortunately, they are only partly available at the moment. However, there are a number of unnoticed scientific articles already translated into English that offer a more detailed and deeper, specific insight into this elaborate universe of shape and form. The book you have here is a compilation of a number of those individual articles.Table of Contents1 Principles of Biodynamic Differentiation .................................................. 10 2 The First Three Weeks After Fertilization .................................................... 37 3 The Forming of the Human Face – Elementary embryonic processes ...... 50 4 The development of the cerebral cortex..................................................... 59 5 Biokinetics of the Basicranium ................................................................... 67 6 The Development of the Os Frontale.......................................................... 81 7 The Programming of Afferent and Efferent Nervous Fibres in Man ........... 90 8 Early Stages of Human Limb Development ............................................... 108 9 The Architecture of the Padding of the Heel .............................................. 144

Columbia University Press The Curious Human Knee
Book SynopsisDistilling a vast amount of research in a style that is engaging, conversational, and even personal and witty, this book opens readers’ eyes to the complexity and significance of the humble knee.Trade ReviewHan Yu provides an engaging and accessible meditation on the human knee—its evolution, its structure, its function, its pathologies, its weaknesses, as well as its roles in society and fashion, the feminist and equality movements, and aggression. Who knew there were so many ways to view the human knee? -- Ian Tattersall, curator emeritus, American Museum of Natural HistoryWalking will never be the same. Kudos to Han Yu for exploring the functional development, frailties, and cultural impacts of this seemingly simple hinge joint. In a conversational tone, she bridges topics as disparate as women’s fashions, martial arts, therapeutic heat, and police tactics. Wonderful stories, personal anecdotes, and summaries of scientific investigations combine to provide the reader with openings for many stimulating dinnertime conversations. Who knew that flapper girls applied rouge to their knees to attract further attention? -- Roy A. Meals, MD, orthopedic surgeon and author of Bones, Inside and OutAs fun and entertaining as it is erudite and well-researched, this book is a very comprehensive look at an overlooked part of our anatomy, warts and all. -- Nathan H. Lents, author of Human Errors: A Panorama of Our Glitches, from Pointless Bones to Broken GenesIn this enlightening blend of science and cultural history, Yu (Mind Thief), an English professor at Kansas State University, considers the evolution and physiology of the human knee, as well as its role in fashion and customs. Yu excels at identifying colorful material on an ostensibly mundane subject, and lay readers will appreciate the accessible prose. This makes for an animated and wide-ranging exploration of an unassuming body part. * Publishers Weekly *Highly recommended. * Choice Reviews *Highly recommended. * American Library Association (ALA) *Table of Contents1.

G. Lord "Exceptional." "Starred Review. Meant to nurture the next generation for life on planet Earth, breasts are also humanity's first responders to environmental changes. And what have modern-day chemical exposures wrought? The answers to this question and many more are found in Williams's remarkably informative and compelling work of discovery." "Williams has done us all-men and women-an enormous favor." "With a scientist's mind, a journalist's eye, and a mother's heart, Williams has produced a wide-ranging environmental history of the breast...Williams delineates one of the most consequential dramas at the intersection of human evolution and environmental change." "Highly informative and remarkably entertaining... [Williams's] inquisitive tone deftly melds careful reportage and a witty streak of lay skepticism." "Much like [Mary Roach's] Stiff, Breasts benefits from its author's field trips...Seen this way-the breast as a canary in a toxic coal mine-[Williams's] call to protect them feels both timely and urgent." "A wonderful and entertaining tour through the evolution, biology and cultural aspects of the organ that defines us as mammals!" -- Susan Love, M.D., M.B.A., President of Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation

In this exuberant romp, a science journalist ponders the myths and marvels of perspiration, sniffing out why these glands are essential to our species. Everts employs original research and encounters with clinicians on the cutting edge, among them a Ph.D. who reverse-engineered his own odors. A glowing, revelatory account that belongs on the same shelf with works by Ed Yong and Carl Zimmer." -- 18 of the Best Books to Pick Up This July - Oprah Daily"[The Joy of Sweat is] an entertaining and illuminating guide to the necessity and virtues of perspiration... Everts is a crisp and lively writer." -- Jennifer Szalai - The New York Times Book Review"Everts’ book oozes with diverse information about sweat. Some of it busts unhelpful myth... But the ballast of The Joy of Sweat is Everts’ accounts of new biotechnologies that exploit perspiration." -- Peter Carty, the i newspaper - i newspaper"Most animals do not sweat to regulate their body temperature. Some evolutionary biologists even argue that perspiration helped humans to dominance, notes science journalist Sarah Everts in her well-researched, zesty study." -- Andrew Robinson reviews five of the week’s best science picks - Nature"In The Joy of Sweat, Sarah Everts offers a fascinating account of an involuntary bodily function that turns out to be as unique as a fingerprint." -- Irina Dumitrescu - Times Literary Supplement"Everts has charm and enthusiasm, writes breezily and, along the way, effectively debunks a number of enduring myths... this journey through one of the more arcane areas of human biology is fun, entertaining and full of interesting facts, whatever your levels of hidrosis." -- Simon Humphreys - The Daily Mail

Harvard University Press The Hidden Mechanics of Exercise
Book SynopsisThe Hidden Mechanics of Exercise reveals the microworld of the body in motion, from motor proteins that produce force to enzymes that extract energy from food, and tackles questions athletes ask: What should we ingest before and during a race? How does a hard workout trigger changes in our muscles? Why does exercise make us feel good?Trade ReviewGillen’s enjoyable account emphasizes the molecules and protein structures that allow us to move, run, jump, control fuel use, and regulate adaptations to exercise training… Refreshingly, Gillen approaches the subject from the system down rather than the molecule up. Throughout the book, he emphasizes how tiny changes in protein structures scale up to produce whole-body movements… Gillen offers exercise enthusiasts wishing to understand the science behind their training an interesting read. The book also serves as an engaging primer for exercise-science students who want to begin to understand some of the underlying molecular mechanisms. The Hidden Mechanics of Exercise introduces concepts that make the step to the specialized textbook or research article easier. At the same time, researchers studying the behavior of the individual molecules may find Gillen’s account enlightening in regard to the functional implications of their work at the whole-body level. -- Stephen D. R. Harridge * Science *Anyone who has an interest in how the body and mind works in a sporting context will not only gain an insight and much knowledge, but also enjoy the way that the message is put across. * Athletics Weekly *To most of us, what happens deep inside our bodies when we exercise is a mysterious black box. This entertaining and illuminating book lucidly explains for nonspecialists the marvels of how molecules literally move a body. Gillen provides the ideal introduction to the physiology of exercise for anyone interested in how bodies work. -- Daniel E. Lieberman, author of The Story of the Human Body

Princeton University Press Lowly Origin Where When and Why Our Ancestors
Book SynopsisExplains the sources and consequences of bipedalism. Following the evolution of two-legged creatures from our earliest lowly forebears, this book concludes with future options for the last surviving biped.Trade Review"[A] remarkable new book... [I]n Kingdon we find a primate who is unafraid to give the establishment a good hard shake, and whose keen powers of observation and reasoning make him impossible to summarily dismiss... Indeed so packed with novel ideas is Lowly Origin that it presents us with a picture of human evolution quite unlike anything that has come before it."--Tim Flannery, New York Review of Books "Lowly Origin is brimming with information, insight, experience and speculation about how we became human... [A] comprehensive and evocative rendition of who we are and how we fit in to the natural world."--Donald Johanson, Los Angeles Times Book Review "Elegant and thoughtful... Jonathan Kingdon commands a unique position at the interface of science and art ... Whether or not [he] manages to convince you of his larger thesis, you will be provoked along the way by the many connections he makes. And just as important, Lowly Origin is a landmark for its thoroughness in integrating the story of human evolution (which he brings up to the present day) with that of the evolving landscapes and habitats of the African continent."--Ian Tattersall, Natural History "Lowly Origin ... provides much new food for thought for lay readers and specialists alike."--Osbjorn M. Pearson, Journal of Anthropological Research "Naturalist-artist Kingdon is well known for his books on African mammals and his beautiful illustrations of them... [This] book is well written and charmingly illustrated."--Choice "Every so often ... a new concept comes into being. In Lowly Origin, Jonathan Kingdon puts forward just such a new concept... Lowly Origin is full of insights and displays the profound knowledge of African geography and ecology that is the hallmark of all Kingdon's work."--Peter Andrews, Times Literary Supplement "Jonathan Kingdon is a subtle amalgam of artist and scientist. He has a deep and up-to-date knowledge of human prehistory, and of the topology and geography of Africa, the continent where most of human prehistory happened. But he is also our leading zoological artist, and I think it must be his artist's eye that gives his writing style its vividness... Kingdon is a wonderful example of a "Third Culture" writer: a scientist who communicated his original ideas to fellow scholars in books that can be read--and enjoyed--by any educated person."--Richard Dawkins, Times Literary Supplement "Lowly Origin is an evocative book that highlights one of the key factors that makes us human--our bipedality... Kingdon's writing is lucid and his illustrations are beautiful in showcasing just how this important component of human evolution took place... A must read. A must have."--Ann Haley MacKenzie, American Biology Teacher "Jonathan Kingdon is ... singularly well equipped to cast an eye over the thorny problem of human origins... Kingdon has read widely and wisely... [He] does not claim to have found the answer to human origins. The real message of the book is the rich contextual evidence it provides. Wise students of human evolutionary history would be well advised to think carefully about that message."--Bernard Wood, Bioscience "There are people who will authoritatively disagree ... however, any subsequent account will have to parry Kingdon's version with equally explicit consideration of ... equally vivid pictures of ways of life."--Alison Jolly, London Review of Books
