fatty liver disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, liver
cancer, biliary cirrhosis, and primary sclerosing cholangitis. The
effect of phytochemicals in the hepatotoxicity of drugs is also
addressed. Written for health professionals seeking reliable and
up-to-date information on the beneficial or toxic effects of
natural compounds on liver disease, this book is sure to be a
welcomed resource for nutritionists, food chemists, natural product
researchers, pharmacists, medical doctors, and pharmacognosists
alike.
A leading orthopedic surgeon and a top sports chiropractor team up
to offer a groundbreaking new approach to remaining injury-free and
recovering from injury faster.
Muscle injuries are not just for sports superstars anymore. Back,
shoulder, hip, and knee problems bedevil more and more people than
ever before. Muscle Medicine provides a way to prevent such
injuries from happening and to treat them when they do without
drugs or surgery. The product of a collaborative effort between two
widely recognized authorities on sports injuries, Muscle Medicine
relies on cutting-edge medical and therapeutic expertise to deliver
what many doctors cannot: explanations of how to maintain good
muscle health, how to treat common muscle injuries, such as "Tennis
Elbow" and "Cell Phone Neck," and how to determine when joint
surgery is and is not necessary for some common orthopedic
problems. By focusing on the health of our muscles, we can prevent
many sports injuries from occurring and recover faster from the
ones that do, say the coauthors, whose A-list clients have included
John McEnroe and Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Featuring more than 100
illustrations that show the basics of muscle mechanics, along with
various stretching, strengthening, and self-treatment exercises,
