Book SynopsisWien – medizinisch. Auch von dieser Seite kann Wien betra- tet werden. Spuren finden sich in dieser Stadt fast überall, war sie doch – medizinhistorisch betrachtet – noch vor gar nicht allzu langer Zeit das „Mekka der Medizin“. 15 Spaziergänge durch das alte medizinische Wien sind - schrieben. Natürlich konzentrieren sich die Touren um die - nere Stadt und den neunten Bezirk, denn hier war das mitt- alterliche Wien und am Alsergrund entstand das Allgemeine Krankenhaus. Einige Touren führen jedoch auch aus der Stadt hinaus und zeigen Wien von versteckteren Blickwinkeln. L- gen sie doch abseits der ausgetretenen touristischen Pfade und entwickeln so einen ganz eigenen Reiz. Die Orientierung im Buch – und hoffentlich auch in Wien – fällt leicht. Hat man sich für eine Tour entschieden, hält man sich an den Übersichtsplan. Da der Mensch nicht nur von - dizin allein lebt, gibt es zusätzlich noch kunsthistorische No- zen und eine Liste guter Gast- und Kaffeehäuser. So lassen sich die gewonnenen Eindrücke sogar „wiengerecht“ verdauen. Den Museen ohne fixe Öffnungszeiten, sie enthalten Spezi- sammlungen, die es so nur in Wien gibt, ist eine eigene Mu- umstour gewidmet. Viel Spaß beim touren durch ein anderes Wien, sowohl für jene, die die Stadt zum ersten Mal erkunden als auch für jene, die sie als „ihre Stadt“ bezeichnen.Table of ContentsINHALTSVERZEICHNIS Eine ganz kurze Geschichte der Wiener Medizin.- Tour 1: Von der alten Universität zum Stephansplatz Tour 2: Vom Stephansplatz durch die Innere Stadt Tour 3: Die Ringrunde.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Biotechnology of Anti-diabetic Medicinal Plants
Book SynopsisThis book is a unique overview of insights on the genetic basis of anti-diabetic activity, chemistry, physiology, biotechnology, mode-of-action, as well as cellular mechanisms of anti-diabetic secondary metabolites from medicinal plants. The World Health Organization estimated that 80% of the populations of developing countries rely on traditional medicines, mostly plant drugs, for their primary health care needs. There is an increasing demand for medicinal plants having anti-diabetic potential in both developing and developed countries. The expanding trade in medicinal plants has serious implications on the survival of several plant species, with many under threat to become extinct. This book describes various approaches to conserve these genetic resources. It discusses the whole spectrum of biotechnological tools from micro-propagation for large-scale multiplication, cell-culture techniques to the biosynthesis and enhancement of pharmaceutical compounds in the plants. It also discusses the genetic transformation as well as short- to long-term conservation of plant genetic resources via synthetic seed production and cryopreservation, respectively. The book is enriched with expert contributions from across the globe. This reference book is useful for researchers in the pharmaceutical and biotechnological industries, medicinal chemists, biochemists, botanists, molecular biologists, academicians, students as well as diabetic patients, traditional medicine practitioners, scientists in medicinal and aromatic plants, Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani and other traditional medical practitioners.Table of Contents1 In vitro approach and quantification of ‘puerarin and genistein’ - Valuable antidiabetic compounds from Pueraria tuberosa.- 2 In Vitro Exploitation of Medicinal Plants for Continuous Supply of Antidiabetic Bioactive Compounds.- 3 Lower plants as potential source of antidiabetic compounds: The present knowledge and future prospects.- 4 Tissue culture mediated biotechnological intervention in Centella asiatica: A potential antidiabetic plant.- 5 In Vitro Approaches for Mass-Propagation of Stevia rebaudiana.- 6 Swertia chirayita, an endangered anti-diabetic plant: trends in biotechnological interventions.- 7 In vitro propagation and biotechnological improvement strategies of plants with high-intensity sweetener and anti-diabetic activities.- 8 In Vitro Culture Techniques and Metabolite Engineering for Enhanced Anti-Diabetic Secondary Metabolite Production.- 9 Saffron: A prized herb with therapeutic potential against diabetes.- 10 New Insights to Enhance the Desired Anti-Diabetic Compounds in Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Exposed to Abiotic Stress Factors.- 11 Boosting of bioactive secondary metabolites in antidiabetic plants through elicitation: A simple technology for better future.- 12 Rhizobium rhizogenes mediated genetic transformation of antidiabetic plants.- 13 Production of anti-diabetic lignans in flax cell cultures.- 14 Artificial seed development of selected anti-diabetic plants, their storage and regeneration: Progress and prospect.- 15 Cryopreservation of Anti-diabetic plants.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Probiotic Research in Therapeutics: Volume 4:
Book SynopsisHumans have numerous microorganisms residing in the body, especially in the gut, far exceeding the human body's normal mammalian cells. Recent research links the gut microbiome, the population of microorganisms living in the gastrointestinal tract, with brain diseases. This volume explores the concept and possibility of its extension to manage a galaxy of CNS diseases, including Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Autism spectrum disorders, depression, insomnia, and chronic fatigue syndrome. This volume elaborates about communication channels between gut and brain via the vagus nerve, short-chain fatty acids including omega acids, and other inflammasomes.In contrast to the available books on the topic, this title is more versatile and endeavors to bring together scientific pre-clinical, and clinical claims on the probable psychobiotic implication of probiotic therapy. The book will appeal similar to the general public, students, experienced researchers, and academicians. It is endeavored to address an aspect of probiotic usage beyond gut disorders. We hope that it would be helpful to people studying the human nervous system and related conditions with their treatments.Table of Contents

Taylor & Francis Ltd Disaster and Emergency Pharmacy
Book SynopsisThis important book introduces pharmacists and pharmacy students to the basics of disaster and emergency management, illustrating not only the different roles that pharmacists can play within any disaster or emergency, but the practical steps they can take to prepare for these events. Starting with the UN-recognised Sendai Framework for disaster risk reduction, the book introduces the key concepts and models that pharmacists should understand, before detailing the place of pharmacists within each stage of an emergency or disaster. It also includes interviews with experts in disaster management, shedding light not only on the place of pharmacy within disaster and emergency management, but also the challenges and barriers involved in fulfilling this role.
