Emergence of new and deadly infectious diseases is significantly
deteriorating the human health. Development of vaccine by the
scientist has become an important weapon to control the spread of
infectious diseases as well as to improve the life expectancy at
global level in 20th-21st Century. This book will provide the
in-depth knowledge of vaccine history, and development of new
strategies to design efficacious and safe vaccine molecule. This
book will cover the development of system vaccinology and their
applications revolutionize the vaccine discovery. This will provide
a resource for the basic and clinical researcher working to human
life expectancy by their vaccine experiments and clinical trials.
My purpose to write this book to educate the students and
researchers with modern development in the field of vaccinology and
empowering the researcher with new tools and methodology for
developing potential and immunogenic vaccines. This book will be
helpful to solve the curiosity of science and medical background
students related with vaccinology and will be helpful to devise a
new vaccine molecule to control the spread of new and emerging
pathogens. Systems biology is a rapidly expanding research
discipline aiming to integrate multifaceted datasets generated
using state-of-the-art high- throughput technologies such as arrays
and next-generation sequencing. Combined with sophisticated
computational analysis we are able to interrogate host responses to
infections and vaccination on a systems level, thus generating
important new hypotheses and discovering unknown associations
between immunological parameters.
Nutritional Modulators of Pain in the Aging Population provides an
overview on the role of foods, dietary supplements, obesity, and
nutrients in the prevention and amelioration of pain in various
diseases in the aging population. Headaches, fibromyalgia, joint
pain, arthritis pain, back pain, and stomach pain are discussed. In
addition, the potential health risks of using foods to reduce
symptoms is evaluated. Each chapter reviews pain causing conditions
before reviewing the role of food or exercise. Both researchers and
physicians will learn about dietary approaches that may benefit or
harm people with various types of pain. Chapters include current
research on the actions of nutrients in pain treatment, the effects
of lifestyle and exercise on pain management, and discussions of
dietary supplements that provide pain relief from chronic
conditions like arthritis.
Neuroprotection in Alzheimer's Disease offers a translational
point-of-view from both basic and clinical standpoints, putting it
on the cusp for further clinical development with its emphasis on
nerve cell protection, including the accumulation of knowledge from
failed clinical trials and new advances in disease management. This
book brings together the latest findings, both basic, and clinical,
under the same cover, making it easy for the reader to obtain a
complete overview of the state-of-the-field and beyond. Alzheimer's
disease is the most common form of dementia, accounting for 60 to
80 percent of dementia cases. It is a progressive brain disease
that slowly destroys memory, thinking skills, and eventually, even
the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. It is characterized by
death of synapses coupled to death nerve cells and brain
degeneration which is manifested by loss of cognitive abilities.
Understanding neuroprotection in Alzheimer's disease will pave the
path to better disease management and novel therapeutics.
Nutrition Economics: Principles and Policy Applications establishes
the core criteria for consideration as new policies and regulations
are developed, including application-based principles that ensure
practical, effective implementation of policy. From the economic
contribution of nutrition on quality of life, to the costs of
malnutrition on society from both an individual and governmental
level, this book guides the reader through the factors that can
determine the success or failure of a nutrition policy. Written by
an expert in policy development, and incorporating an encompassing
view of the factors that impact nutrition from an economic
standpoint (and their resulting effects), this book is unique in
its focus on guiding other professionals and those in advanced
stages of study to important considerations for correct policy
modeling and evaluation. As creating policy without a comprehensive
understanding of the relevant contributing factors that lead to
failure is not an option, this book provides a timely reference.
Prebiotics and Probiotics in Human Milk: Origins and Functions of
Milk-Borne Oligosaccharides and Bacteria provides a comprehensive,
yet approachable, treatise on what is currently known about the
origins and functions of human milk oligosaccharides (HMO), the
complex sugars in milk that are not digested by the infant. The
book examines how HMOs and bacteria in human milk may function
independently and coordinately to influence both maternal and
infant health. Human milk is the only food "designed" specifically
to nourish humans, indeed representing the essence of a perfect
"functional food." And although researchers have been studying its
composition for decades, surprisingly little is really understood
about the origins and functions of its myriad components, an area
that is especially true for HMOs and bacteria. This book provides a
thorough review of the newest research on these inter-related milk
constituents as written by a team of experts from both academia and
industry who actively conduct HMO and human milk microbiome
research as they endeavor to apply this new knowledge to infant
nutrition. Each chapter provides objective rationale for what
research is still needed in this rapidly evolving area, also
discussing the challenges and opportunities faced by the industry
in adding HMO and microbes to infant food products. This book is a
valuable resource for nutrition researchers focused on infant
nutrition, food scientists and product developers working on infant
formula, and clinicians interested in broadening their
understanding of the benefits of human milk for infants.
A central concern that has remained relevant in recent years has
been the management of waste and pollution. Improper disposal
methods such as open-air burning and unsafe recycling have led to
significant public and environmental health issues including
respiratory disorders, resource depletion, and infant mortality.
Adopting new waste management techniques is a necessity in order to
preserve the health of the global community and ecosystem. Waste
Management Techniques for Improved Environmental and Public Health
provides innovative insights into the advancing methods and
technologies of reducing pollution and promoting sustainable
development. The content within this publication examines
ecological technologies, risk assessment, and green operation. It
is designed for ecologists, biologists, researchers, enterprises,
academicians, policymakers, scientists, environmental engineers,
and students seeking current research on developing theories and
techniques within waste moderation and environmental protection.
