Book Description

Le déficit en pyruvate kinase est une maladie génétique rare qui cause la destruction des globules rouges. Malgré une compréhension grandissante de la maladie, elle reste inconnue de nombreux professionnels de santé et l'information disponible pour les patients est limitée. Ce livret superbement illustré est conçu pour aider les patients à se doter des meilleures informations sur leur maladie afin d'améliorer les conversations qu'ils ont avec les médecins et les infirmiers à son sujet. Il fournit des explications simples mais détaillées sur : • le rôle des globules rouges et ce qui ne va pas dans le déficit en pyruvate kinase • la manière dont la maladie est transmise • la manière dont la maladie affecte les patients • les tests sanguins et la signification des résultats • les traitements de soutien, y compris les transfusions sanguines et l'ablation de la rate • la manière dont les complications comme la surcharge en fer et la jaunisse sont gérées. Avec les 'FastTests' (petits tests) pour savoir comment les patients comprennent leur maladie et des espaces pour noter leurs remarques, cette ressource concise et facile à lire aidera les patients à s'organiser afin qu'ils soient mieux équipés pour poser les bonnes questions et avoir des discussions plus sérieuses concernant leur traitement. Enfin, il les aidera à prendre les meilleures décisions concernant leur prise en charge.

Book Description

Many physiological conditions such as host defense or aging and pathological conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases, and diabetes are associated with the accumulation of high levels of reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species. This generates a condition called oxidative stress. Low levels of reactive oxygen species, however, which are continuously produced during aerobic metabolism, function as important signaling molecules, setting the metabolic pace of cells and regulating processes ranging from gene expression to apoptosis. For this book we would like to recruit the experts in the field of redox chemistry, bioinformatics and proteomics, redox signaling and oxidative stress biology to discuss how organisms achieve the appropriate redox balance, the mechanisms that lead to oxidative stress conditions and the physiological consequences that contribute to aging and disease.

Book Description

It was our aim to place at the disposal of radiologists within a short time an atlas of high-quality, valuable pictures of abdominal CT without We felt that, the image degradation inherent to slower scanning apparatus. notwithstanding rapid evolution in CT scanning apparatus and the resulting rapid advances in our clinical knowledge about the value, limitations and applications of this new diagnostic imaging modality, an effort should be made to realize an atlas of reference. From more than 7,000 patients studied with abdominal CT, we tried to assemble images with maximal anatomical detail, which implies the use of large window settings, being well aware that in daily routine practice basic CT methodology includes the use of different window settings for optimal information. It was, however, a conscious decision not to use comparative images with large and small window settings in order to stay within a reasonable total number of figures. Much emphasis has been placed upon the use of contrast enhancement by intravenous contrast media. This is based on the conviction that essen tially new and better morphological information about normal and pathological processes within the abdomen can be obtained because short exposure times now allow one to capture the rapidly changing aspect and degree of contrast enhancement of the lesions as a function of their vascu larity.

Book Description

This bestselling manual is the definitive guide to olive production in California. This 180-page manual is fully illustrated with 40 tables, 19 line drawings, and 36 charts, and 100 color and black and white photos. The most notable additions to this edition include a new chapter on deficit irrigation, a greatly expanded chapter on olive oil production, and coverage of four new pests, including the olive fly. Includes production techniques for commercial growers worldwide - from orchard planning and maintenance to harvesting and postharvest processing. Contains information on pollination, pruning for shaker and vertical rotating comb harvest, mechanical pruning, deficit irrigation, mechanical harvesting methods including trunk-shaking and canopy contact harvesters, postharvest handling and processing methods, and olive oil production. Also includes information on new pests including olive fly, oleander scale, olive mite, and black vine weevil.
