Book SynopsisIngestion of food is a physiological process among heterotrophic organisms to obtain nutrients for survival. The consumption of soil, clay and chalk by humans is labeled as geophagia. Ancient resources and modern references deliver valuable information concerning geophagia and pica in humans. This book takes a consistent, interdisciplinary approach for reviewing this aberrant behavior, crafting its etiology, charting its health effects and identifying the universal traits among the affected population. It puts forward a brief conceptual framework to achieve universality in its definition, history, epidemiology and multiple hypotheses thus help in adopting measures to control this habit.Key Features:1. Systematic and meticulous flow of information on geophagia.2. Guides general practioners, physicians, pediatricians to curb this practice in their patients. 3. A unique and concise treatise covering descriptive and research based work over a crucial health issue of worldwide prevalence.Table of ContentsContents Chapter 1 Introduction of GeophagiaChapter 2 History of GeophagiaChapter 3 Epidemiology of GeophagiaChapter 4 Etiology of GeophagiaChapter 5 Ill Effects of Geophagia on Nutritional Status of Preschool Children

Book SynopsisA taboo-busting romp through the shame, stink and strange science of sweating.Trade Review"Love stinks! As do our immune systems, parenthood, and a host of other human functions. 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

Book SynopsisCellular proteinases and their physiological role in normal and disease states have been the subject of great interest over recent decades. At present, specific protease inhibitors are exploited both as tools in unraveling the role of individual proteinases in particular cellular processes and for the development of chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of various disorders. Proteinase and Peptidase Inhibition presents updated progress reports on the characterization of a wide range of cellular proteinases whose inhibitors may hold the key to the development of new drugs. Introductory chapters deal with the broad enzyme classes, inhibitor types and regulatory mechanisms governing proteinase activity. The target enzymes themselves, together with all aspects of their inhibition and inhibitor design, are comprehensively described. The classification of target enzymes by structural similarity, rather than by pharmacological effects, provides a new and coherent platform for understandinTable of ContentsEnzyme Classes and Mechanisms.

Book SynopsisThe existence of multiple sulfotransferases (SULTS) was first discovered in 1958. Since then, any attempts to create a comprehensive text dedicated to sulfation and sulfotransferases have been rare and, thanks to rapid advances in molecular biology and biochemistry, quickly outdated. However, those advances have permitted an accelerated understanding of human sulfotransferase activity and with it the creation of a growing database on sulfotransferases that, until now, has remained scattered in the literature. Human Cytosolic Sulfotransferases serves an important function by the mere feat of culling the information from the literature to present an up-to-date summary of the field. Fortunately, the editors have gone a step further in providing us with a multidisciplinary overview of human sulfotransferases, covering not only basic biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, but also exploring current clinical uses involving pharmacology, enzymology, and environmental toxicoloTable of ContentsNomenclature.

Book SynopsisThis is an authoritative overview for anyone encountering Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) - a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system resulting in diverse symptoms experienced in an upright position that are relieved by lying down - and other types of acquired dysautonomia. It provides essential information on the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment in children and young people. Post-viral syndromes can be extremely difficult to manage and the average individual spends two to three years accessing appropriate diagnosis. This book provides necessary information for parents and healthcare professionals on identifying POTS and other post-viral dysautonomia, the most common triggers, appropriate intervention and successful multi-disciplinary management in both short and long term situations. It also includes helpful tips and coping strategies for managing the syndrome at home and in educational and clinical settings.Trade ReviewKelly McCracken Barnhill has created an easy-to-understand handbook that is suitable as a reference resource for medical professionals, parents, and patients. She has been successful in demystifying this complex syndrome through the use of well-researched explanations of up-to-date testing and discussions of treatment options presented in the crucible of first hand patient accounts. The reader will find this an invaluable guide through the maze of dysautonomia. -- Ainsley R Glenn, Founding Director, Dysautonomia Advocacy FoundationTable of ContentsForeword by Fletcher Barnhill.
