Free Download Whole-Body Cryostimulation: Clinical Applications by Paolo Capodaglio
English | March 13, 2024 | ISBN: 3031185447 | 247 pages | MOBI | 4.16 Mb
This book entails chapters ranging from cell to clinical studies exploring the state-of-the-art of the molecular and clinical effects of Whole-Body Cryostimulation (WBC). Based on consolidated evidence, WBC is nowadays widely used in elité athletes for recovery from muscle fatigue or injury but, despite growing scientific support, it remains a niche topic in the field of Rehabilitation. At present, WBC is used mostly in eastern Europe as add-on treatment for rheumatological conditions, but recent literature suggests that its positive effects can have a clinically significant impact on a wider range of conditions. The novelty of the book consists of documenting the clinical and functional effects of WBC in a range of conditions including post/long-Covid symptoms, fibromyalgia, rheumatologic, metabolic, psychiatric, sleep and respiratory disorders, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson disease, spasticity.

Free Download Julie Bienertova-vasku, "Body Fat: Composition, Measurements and Reduction Procedures "
English | ISBN: 1613243324 | 2013 | 174 pages | PDF | 9 MB
A person’s body fat percentage is the total weight of the person’s fat divided by the person’s weight and consists of essential body fat and storage body fat. Essential body fat is necessary to maintain life and reproductive functions. In this book, the authors present current research in the composition, measurement and reduction procedures of body fat. Topics discussed include body composition measurements; MSG intake suppresses caloric intake, weight gain, and fat deposition in female rats; body mass index and fat distribution among circumpolar people; and, body fat in individuals with Down Syndrome and adipsin as a new biomarker of body fat distribution.

English | 2002 | pages: 333 | ISBN: 038081384X | PDF | 0,9 mb
Minister’s wife Faith Fairchild is excited about catering her church’s restoration campaign kickoff at historic Ballou House. But when a beautiful young woman dies moments after finishing dessert, Faith is suddenly in serious trouble. Not only is her business in jeopardy – but Aleford’s wagging tongues are suggesting that Faith herself laced the goodie with cyanide, having discovered her husband Tom’s perhaps overly pastoral interest in the victim. Faith’s world feels steeped in poison and never before have her amateur sleuthing skills been more crucial – especially when another body is found in the moonlight carrying an unmistakable warning: you’re next!

Free Download Mind, Body and Self: Perspectives of Consciousness
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031421221 | 211 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 8 MB
This book is a unique collaboration of philosophers from across the world bringing together contemporary concepts of consciousness, the Māori conception of self, as well as Indian and Buddhist concepts of self and mental states. Contemporary concepts of consciousness include higher-order consciousness and phenomenological approaches. The idea behind this volume came from an international conference on ‘Mind, Body and Self’ held at Victoria University of Wellington; organized by the Society for Philosophy and Culture. The authors herein contribute to the relationship between concepts of self, mind, and body. The wide variety of contributors from across cultural backgrounds adds to a diverse and valuable conversation on the nature of human existence and thoughts of self. This book appeals to students and researchers working in philosophy and religious studies.

Free Download The Two-Body Force in Nuclei: Proceedings of the Symposium on the Two-Body Force in Nuclei held at Gull Lake, Michigan, September 7-10, 1971 By Malcolm H. Macfarlane (auth.), S. M. Austin, G. M. Crawley (eds.)
1995 | 390 Pages | ISBN: 1468483390 | PDF | 7 MB
The idea of this symposium grew out of our discussions on the need to review the advances that had been made in the theoretical description of inelastic scattering reactions in the last few years. Since a microscopic description of inelastic scattering uses realistic effective interactions, we felt that it was appropriate to begin such a summary with a discussion of the free two-nucleon force. However as we thought further about this review, it became increasingly apparent that a rather more ambitious program linking the free two-nucleon force and nuclear matter calculations both to shell model calculations and to reaction theory, would be appropriate and perhaps even necessary to do full justice to the subject. We hope that the symposium as it emerged did fulfill these aims, better perhaps than we expected. There are some comments required concerning the presentation of the material. First the papers are grouped by session number for convenient gathering of the same topic in the same place. Secondly, because of the rather tight constraint on pages, it was possible to print only those contributions which were presented orally at the symposium. The remainner are included as abstracts. The full text of all the contributed papers is available as a Michigan State University Cyclotron Laboratory Report (MSUCL 39/1971).

Free Download Stereotactic Radiosurgery and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy: A Comprehensive Guide
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031677420 | 492 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 134 MB
This new edition is a fully updated, comprehensive review of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT): its physics, clinical evidence, indications, and future directions. The utilization of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is increasing internationally because of several factors. First, it offers patients a local treatment option that has demonstrated effectiveness similar to traditional surgery without the morbidity of general anesthesia and open surgical resection. Second, recent advancements in the quality of scientific evidence supporting a SRS or SBRT-containing approach in patients continues to evolve and demonstrate favorable disease-specific outcomes with little, if any, toxicity in various anatomic disease sites and for various conditions including cancer, benign tumors, and other psychiatric and neurologic conditions. Third, and most provocatively, is the notion that definitive local therapy (i.e. SRS or SBRT) in patients with cancer can boost the immune system to fight cancer in other sites throughout the body. While traditional medical knowledge would suggest that all patients with metastatic cancer are incurable, there is a mounting body of evidence that there is a subset of these patients that can be cured with definitive SRS or SBRT. This volume thus delves into each of these benefits and aspects of treatment, guiding physicians to the best treatment plan for their patients.
