This book, Recent Advances in Geriatrics, is based on the
proceedings of the 8th Course of the School of Gerontology and
Geriatrics held in Erice (Trapani, Italy) at the In ternational
Centre for Scientific Culture "Ettore Majorana" on March 20-25,
1997. This international effort was organized jointly by professors
from the University of Palermo (It aly) and from Wayne State
University (Michigan, USA) as a result of a cross-cultural col
laboration of several years. _ The increasing average age of the
populations in industrialized countries has re sulted in increased
interest in the different biological, medical, psychological, and
eco nomic aspects related to the health and social care of the
elderly. Physicians and health care practitioners are realizing the
need for a revised approach to geriatric care. Comprising
contributions of clinicians and scientists from Italy and North
America, the present volume provides a multidisciplinary approach
to many gerontological and geriatric problems, examined from a
scientific and a practical point of view. Several of the most
important aspects of the aging process - the genetics of aging,
body composition modification, immunological, endocrinological, and
renal physiology changes - have been addressed. Data from a
multi-center Italian study on centenarians is reported, to gether
with an update on clinical and pharmacological approaches to
dementia syndromes and economic and social aspects related to the
care of the elderly."

Autophagy and Cardiometabolic Diseases: From Moleculer Mechanisms
to Translational Medicine covers the science of autophagy in
relation to cardiometabolic diseases and the future therapeutic
potentials of autophagy regulation in these processes. Processes
are not described in isolation, but in concert with other cellular
and/or metabolic processes, such as lipogenesis, glucose, energy
metabolism and apoptosis. This approach recognizes the
multifactorial nature of cardiometabolic diseases, including
obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance, hypertension and
dyslipidemia. The book provides explanations, while also
distinguishing the delicate role for autophagy in pathogenesis and
exploring complications for cardiometabolic diseases. By targeting
autophagy, it offers new avenues for drug discovery and treatment
for cardiometabolic anomalies. It is a perfect resource for
cardiology researchers, scientists and medical practitioners.
