Physician and diagnostician William Morgan worked in the late 19th
century: this book offers an understanding of diabetes mellitus in
his time. Although many of the diagnostic tenets and symptoms of
diabetes were discovered and known, the methods of treating the
illness were sorely lacking. The discovery of insulin was decades
away; as such the remedies noted within this text are obsolete -
chemical concoctions consisting of ingredients like Sulphur, opium,
phosphates, and the inhalation of oxygen gas. A chapter is devoted
to now-discredited homeopathic treatments. While the general
symptoms of the illness are known, distinctions between Type 1 and
Type 2 diabetes was mpt. The author notes the connection of
diabetes with sugar, and is able to make recommendations with
respect to dietary intake and nutrition that carry some relevance
to the modern-day clinic. Recipes are appended, attested by other
physicians as favorable. Overwhelmingly however, we find 19th
century medicine lacking for diabetes.

Student-scientist-teacher interactions provide students with
several advantages. They provide opportunities to interact with
experts and professionals in the field, give students a chance at
meeting a role model that may impact students' career choices, and
increase awareness of available career options combined with an
understanding of how their skills and interests affect their career
decisions. Additionally, it enhances attitudes and interest toward
STEM professions for students and grants opportunities to connect
with scientists as human beings and see them as "real people,"
replacing stereotypical perceptions of scientists. Moreover, there
are many advantages for the teacher or informal educator when these
partnerships are established. For these reasons and more, numerous
studies are often conducted involving the partnerships of students,
scientists, and teachers. Enhancing Learning Opportunities Through
Student, Scientist, and Teacher Partnerships organizes a collection
of research on student-scientist-teacher partnerships and presents
the models, benefits, implementation, and learning outcomes of
these interactions. This book presents a variety of different
scientist-student-teacher partnerships with research data to
support different learning outcomes in settings like schools,
after-school programs, museums, science centers, zoos, aquariums,
children's museums, space centers, nature centers, and more. This
book is ideal for in-service and preservice teachers,
administrators, teacher educators, practitioners, stakeholders,
researchers, academicians, and students interested in research on
beneficial student-scientist-teacher partnerships/models in formal
and informal settings.
Photobiomodulation in the Brain: Low-Level Laser (Light) Therapy in
Neurology and Neuroscience presents the fundamentals of
photobiomodulation and the diversity of applications in which light
can be implemented in the brain. It will serve as a reference for
future research in the area, providing the basic foundations
readers need to understand photobiomodulation's science-based
evidence, practical applications and related adaptations to
specific therapeutic interventions. The book covers the mechanisms
of action of photobiomodulation to the brain, and includes chapters
describing the pre-clinical studies and clinical trials that have
been undertaken for diverse brain disorders, including traumatic
events, degenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders.
As early as 2030 the Arctic Ocean could lose essentially all of its
ice during the warmest months of the year-a radical transformation
that would destroy virtually all of the Arctic ecosystems and
disrupt or destroy many northern communities, if not many
communities along the coastal areas of Earth. Even now
concentrations of Greenhouse gases are rising dramatically -
because of mankind's industry as well as human overpopulation
leading to the destruction of the cycle of photosynthesis. The
human of Earth seems to be leading its own extinction. Has the
cycle reached its "critical mass" and now unable to be reversed?
Will popular social efforts such as "Going Green" help in any way
whatsoever at this point in a global evolutionary crisis? In only a
few - perhaps two - generations of the human race might we know the
answers to whether the human race will have a planet capable of
sustaining life without ever leaving this world.
Nervous System Drug Delivery: Principles and Practice helps users
understand the nervous system physiology affecting drug delivery,
the principles that underlie various drug delivery methods, and the
appropriate application of drug delivery methods for drug- and
disease-specific treatments. Researchers developing nervous system
putative therapeutic agents will use this book to optimize drug
delivery during preclinical assessment and to prepare for
regulatory advancement of new agents. Clinicians will gain direct
insights into pathophysiologic alterations that impact drug
delivery and students and trainees will find this a critical
resource for understanding and applying nervous system drug
delivery techniques.
