This book explores and identifies the main biochemical changes that occur in several diseases, including those of pancreatic, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, psychiatric, nutritional, and infectious origin. It also considers the recognition of possible biochemical markers of each disease, highlighting how they can be used in diagnosis.
This book aims to establish the relationship between systemic diseases and oral diseases, focusing on their aetiology concerning genetic and environmental factors. Each chapter will develop one different oral and/or systemic disorder, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, periodontitis, among many others.
Throughout life, human beings undergo several hormonal changes responsible for growth and maturation. These alterations in hormone secretion include enhanced or decreased production, the latter of which is mainly observed during aging. These processes are intrinsic to human development, but may vary from individual to individual. Thus, experienced metabolic changes can alter the state of health and even trigger the development of certain pathologies. The main metabolic differences observed in newborns and children when compared to adults result from the fact that the organism is not yet fully developed. During adolescence, changes in hormone secretion occur that lead to sexual maturation. In the same way, during pregnancy, women suffer alterations in the secretion of certain hormones which allow the adaptation of their bodies to that physiological state and the normal development of the foetus. As for the elderly, a general decline of health is observed during ageing, and hormonal dysfunctions, such as the development of insulin resistance and thyroid dysfunction, frequently occur. This volume focuses on metabolic and hormonal changes during the human lifetime. Screenings best suited for each life stage, the reasons for doing them, and the diseases they allow the diagnosis of are also presented.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are infections that are spread primarily through person to person sexual contact. There are more than 30 different sexually transmissible bacteria, viruses and parasites. STIs lead to high morbidity and complications. This book entitled as Sexually Transmitted Infections is not a text book but provides useful information for general reference work for physicians, researchers and students interested in the subject. Each chapter is abundant in tips useful to general readers as well. It also includes the Introductory chapter providing an overview with special emphasis on syndromic approach to the management of STIs in clinical setting.
Quality control has an emerging importance in every field of life. Quality control is a process that is used to guarantee a certain level of quality in a product or service. It might include whatever actions a business deems necessary to provide for the control and verification of certain characteristics of a product or service. With the improvement of technology everyday we meet new and complicated devices and methods in different fields. Quality control should be performed in all of those new techniques. In this book "Latest Research Into Quality Control" our aim was to collect information about quality control in many different fields. The aim of this book is to share useful and practical knowledge about quality control in several fields with the people who want to improve their knowledge.
