A Radical Approach to Treating Degenerative Diseases $184.81 Treating Degenerative Diseases is a must read for everyone. The method proposed may well turn out to be what links free radical production in degenerative diseases to therapies with antioxidant combinations. It provides practical advice to help you take action with a synergistic treatment to ensure optimal health until old age. I have reviewed with much enthusiasm the work of Gerald Veurink. It is an outstanding work with exceptional depth of background. (Prof. G. Perry). This book is well written, and contains an original contribution to the field. The work is written thoughtfully and well presented. He speculated that the benefits of antioxidants are not limited to the individuals at high risk of developing Alzheimers Disease, but are likely to be useful in the prevention of other neurodegenerative diseases. (Dr. P. J. Mehta). Dr. Veurink has given scientific credibility to what us clinicians anecdotally knew; that oxidative stress that occurs in an environment of low extra cellular pH, is a significant factor in AD. and conversely, treatment perhaps should be aimed at increasing extracellular pH and antioxidant levels. (Dr. S. Krishnan, AKMD). Author: Veurink, Gerald Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 304 Publication Date: 2009/09/01 Language: English Dimensions: 5.98 x 9.01 x 0.68 inches |

Pulmonary Manifestations of Systemic Diseases $80 Pulmonary manifestations of systemic diseases remain very interesting disease entities. However, they are usually not very well known by the treating physician. Several reasons could explain this. First of all, it is a fact that a lot of these systemic diseases are being treated by organ-specific specialists, who may not be very well acquainted with pulmonary signs and symptoms. Secondly, some of these entities are quite  common. Therefore, in the present Monograph, the editors have tried to gather a compilation of interesting pulmonary manifestations of very different disease entities, such as collagen vascular diseases and vasculitis syndromes, but also pulmonary involvement in renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal, neuromuscular, endocrine and metabolic, cardiovascular, immunodeficiency, and alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency diseases. |

Inflammatory Diseases of Blood Vessels $239.95 In recent years, considerable progress has been made in understanding the vasculitic diseases, largely due to the introduction of effective treatments for diseases that were once uniformly fatal, the conduct of structured clinical studies, and advances in immunology and molecular biology. Despite these achievements, the vasculitic diseases continue to be associated with morbidity and mortality from chronic organ damage, relapses, and the side effects of treatment. Investigations into the mechanisms of vascular inflammation may lead to a better comprehension of the pathogenesis of vasculitic diseases and to treatment that is more effective and less toxic. These areas of promising research, together with current knowledge about the vasculitic diseases, are extensively examined in this new edition, which is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the science and clinical consequences of vascular inflammation in health and disease. |

Extrahepatic Manifestations in Liver Diseases $524.15 The liver is of central importance to the entire organism due to its diverse functions in metabolism, its ability to detoxify and excrete, the hepatic formation and inactivation of mediators, and its involvement innonspecific defence mechanisms. Thus, extrahepatic manifestations of liver disease are often decisive for the disease course. In the last few years, knowledge about interaction between the liver and other organs orsystems e.g. kidneys, GI tract, skeleton, endocrine, haematopoietic and nervous sytems has increased considerably. Thus many extrahepatic manifestations of liver disease can now be better understood and are moreaccessible to diagnosis and therapy. The IXth International Congress on Liver Diseases brought together experts from around the world to give information on new developments in this field which are important both forresearch and clinical work. These proceedings will therefore be required reading for all researchers and clinicians dealing with effectsof liver diseases on the entire organism. Author: Schmid, R./ Bianchi, L./ Gerok, W.
