Handbook of Pathology and Pathophysiology of Cardiovascular Disease

By: Stephen M. Factor,Maria A. Lamberti-Abadi,Jacobo Abadi

Autopsy derives from the greek word autopsia, which means act of seeing with one’s own eyes. It remains the most objective and accurate method to understand human. disease. Unfortunately, the volume of autopsies in teaching hospitals has decreased dramatically over the past years. The crucial factors that account for this are the recent progress and development of new technologies, especially in diagnostic imaging, immunology, cell biology and genetics. Additionally, the perpetual fear of legal liability by physicians accounts for its further decline. Consequently, physicians and medical students are engaged in fewer autopsies and are not reaping the rich educational rewards that accompany these examinations. The purpose of the autopsy is not only to establish the cause of death, but also to determine the nature and course of the disease process. Our goal with this book is to emphasize the importance of the post-mortem exam and the correlation between pathologic material and clinical data by analyzing actual cases with problem-based methodology. The focus of this handbook is on cardiovascular disease, and when appropriate, other disease categories are included if they have an impact on cardiovascular function. The approach is more than the usual clinico-pathological correlation. Rather, we attempt to present the material from the perspective of the autopsy table. We use the clinical data as the initial framework and the autopsy findings to develop a true understanding of the disease and the associated pathophysiology of the condition.

A Study of Enzymes

By: Stephen A. Kuby

This comprehensive monograph consists of two parts: Volume I, entitled Enzyme Catalysis, Kinetics, and Substrate Binding; and Volume II, entitled Mechanism of Enzyme Action. Volume I focuses on several aspects of enzyme catalytic behavior, their steady-state and transient-state kinetics, and the thermodynamic properties of substrate binding. Packed with figures, tables, schemes, and photographs, this volume contains over 1,000 references, including references regarding enzymology's fascinating history. This comprehensive book is of particular interest to enzymology students, teachers, and researchers. Volume II presents selected "cutting edge" examples of techniques and approaches being pursued in biochemistry. This up-to-date resource includes 11 chapters, which illustrate important theoretical and practical aspects of enzyme mechanisms. It also features selected examples in which today's most important techniques, ideas, and theories are used to elaborate on the intricate nature of enzyme action mechanisms. This particular volume provides important information for both the novice and the seasoned investigator.

Migraine

By: David Dodick FRCP (C), FACP, MD,Stephen Silberstein MD, FACP, FAHS, FAAN

Migraine is a complex neurological disorder that is characterized by a complex neurobiology, clinical features that may overlap with over 300 causes of headache, and an association with major medical illnesses and comorbid diseases. This books draws upon the authors' vast clinical experience and exhaustive knowledge of the science of migraine and the practice of headache medicine and provides this knowledge in a comprehensive yet digestible format. While migraine is often a subject in other textbooks on headache, it is the sole focus of this volume. The authors provide an up-to-date overview of the evidence base and combine this with their experience and expertise to help practitioners make informed treatment decisions. This book also provides a glimpse into the future describing new treatment modalities, including neurostimulation technologies and biologics that are emerging as potentially valuable treatment options. The authors also deal extensively with the unique and complex management of migraine in women throughout the reproductive life cycle. For those looking for a practical, insightful, and in-depth review on the subject of migraine, there is no other option.

Data Analytics for Process Engineers

Prediction, Control and Optimization

By: Daniela Galatro,Stephen Dawe

This book provides an industry-oriented data analytics approach for process engineers, including data acquisition methods and sources, exploratory data analysis and sensitivity analysis, data-based modelling for prediction, data-based modelling for monitoring and control, and data-based optimization of processes. While many of the current data analytics books target business-related problems, the rationale for this book is a specific need to understand and select applicable data analytics approaches pragmatically to analyze process engineering–related problems; this tailored solution for engineers gets amalgamated with governing equations, and in several cases, with the physical understanding of the phenomenon being analyzed. We also consider this book strategically conceived to help map Education 4.0 with Industry 4.0 since it can support undergraduate and graduate students to gain valuable and applicable data analytics stills that can be further used in their workplace. Moreover, it can be used as a reference book for professionals, a quick reference to data analytics tools that can facilitate and/or optimize their process engineering tasks.

Global Dynamics, Phase Space Transport, Orbits Homoclinic to Resonances, and Applications

By: Stephen Wiggins

This monograph, which grew out of a series of lectures delivered by Stephen Wiggins at the Fields Institute in early 1993, is concerned with the geometrical viewpoint of the global dynamics of nonlinear dynamical systems. With appropriate examples and concise explanations, Wiggins unites many different topics into one volume and makes a unique contribution to the field. Engineers, physicists, chemists, and mathematicians who work on issues related to the global dynamics of nonlinear dynamical systems will find these lectures very useful.
