The Metabolic Syndrome - Pharmacology and Clinical Aspects (Hardcover, 2013 ed.): Henning Beck-Nielsen The Metabolic Syndrome - Pharmacology and Clinical Aspects (Hardcover, 2013 ed.)

R5,270 Discovery Miles 52 700 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The metabolic syndrome is a common syndrome affecting about 20 % of the adult population in Europe, and probably the prevalence is of the same magnitude in other industrialised countries worldwide. It is mainly caused by western lifestyle resulting in abdominal obesity, but also a genetic predisposition plays a role. This syndrome, which is linked to leisure lifestyle and overeating/obesity, can develop into type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Therefore, proper treatment and prevention are heavily needed. This book discusses lifestyle intervention and treatment, specifically with pharmacological compounds, in order to formulate a strategy for treating the metabolic syndrome in the daily clinic.

"[This] book will convince you that forgetting helps you remember and distractions can make you more creative." -Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take, and host of TED's WorkLife podcast "Illuminating, and a joy to read, [Scatterbrain] offers ... a refreshingly accessible and relatable take on the brain's inner workings that should appeal to both science buffs and casual readers." -Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) In this mind-bending book, an esteemed neuroscientist explains why perfectionism is pointless-and argues that mistakes, missteps, and flaws are the keys to success. Remember that time you screwed up simple math or forgot the name of your favorite song? What if someone told you that such embarrassing "brain farts" are actually secret weapons, proof of your superiority to computers and AI? In Scatterbrain, we learn that boredom awakens the muse, distractions spark creativity, and misjudging time creates valuable memories, among other benefits of our faulty minds. Throughout, award-winning neuroscientist Henning Beck's hilarious asides and brain-boosting advice make for delightful reading of the most cutting-edge neuroscience our brains will (maybe never) remember.

Denken Sie, das Gehirn ist eine perfekte Rechenmaschine, die evolutionare Krone aller Informationssysteme, die komplexeste Struktur des Universums, praziser und leistungsfahiger als jeder Computer? Vergessen Sie das sofort Das Gehirn ist ein Haufen voller eitler, fauler und selbstverliebter Zellen, die sich standig verrechnen und dabei noch permanent von ihren Nachbarn abgelenkt werden.

Da halt man es kaum fur moglich und doch geschieht das Wunder: Das Gehirn funktioniert Sehr gut sogar, denn Menschen sind im Gegensatz zu rechnenden Maschinen ausgesprochen kreativ.

Wie das?, mag man fragen und dieses Buch gibt die Antwort darauf. Fachlich fundiert und locker aufbereitet berichtet der deutsche Science Slam-Meister 2012 Henning Beck uber das Zusammenspiel von Nerven- und ihren Helferzellen, erklart, was ein Geistesblitz uberhaupt ist, wie er entsteht und was die Hirnforschung zum Thema Kreativitat zu sagen hat."
