The Historical Enigma of the Snake Woman from Antiquity to the 21st Century

By: Angela Giallongo

This book provides an exploration of the historical conditions that gradually defined subordinating symbols and conflictual values in social relations between the sexes. It reveals how snakes and the gelid eyes of Medusa—the archetypical snake-woman—have reverberated across the visual arts and written sources throughout the ages in association with negative emotions: fear, anger, scorn and shame. The outcomes and implications of the disturbing correlation between the dangerous female gaze, the malignitas of the snake and the lethal power of menstruation that have been woven through the fabric of the Western imaginary are analysed here. This analysis reveals an intriguing history of female reptilian hybrids—from the pleasing Minoan snake goddesses to the depressing Gorgon, Echidna, Amazons, Eve, Melusine, Basilisk, Poison-Damsel, Catoblepas and Sadako/Samara—and gives the reader an opportunity to explore things that never happened but have always been.

pH Deregulation as the Eleventh Hallmark of Cancer

By: Tomas Koltai,Larry Fliegel,Stephan J. Reshkin,Fatima Baltazar,Rosa Angela Cardone,Khalid Omer Alfarouk,Julieta Afonso

pH Deregulation as the Eleventh Hallmark of Cancer presents key concepts about pH deregulation in a concise and straight-forward manner. The book discusses topics such as pH regulation and metabolism, sodium hydrogen exchanger, monocarboxylate transporter, V-ATPase proton pump, carbonic anhydrases, and voltage gated sodium channels. In addition, it covers clinical and therapeutic implications and future perspectives. This is a valuable resource for researchers, oncologists, students and members of the biomedical and medical fields who want to learn more about the role of pH deregulation in cancer treatment. pH deregulation can improve the outcome of classical treatments without adding toxicity to them, and the book shows that treating the pH peculiarities of cancer is simple and can be performed with existing drugs. Based on the classification of tumor malignancy in ten hallmarks, the authors put pH deregulation at the spotlight and separated from metabolic reprogramming due to its impact on all other hallmarks, proposing it as an additional characteristic to evaluate and fight cancer. Proposes that pH deregulation should be considered as an independent hallmark of cancer from metabolic reprogramming due to its impact on all other hallmarks (based on seminal work of Hanahan and Weinberg) Explains basic issues of cancer pH deregulation and its consequences in a simple and concise manner Discusses the subject from the start with very elementary concepts on pH and pH regulation to help readers understand key concepts without proper background Presents key concepts through original illustrations and table for easy comprehension
