This unique book comprehensively explores and illustrates the
different ways in which the medical discipline of psychiatry
interfaces and interacts with not only other medical disciplines,
but also other aspects of life and knowledge. Divided into 26
chapters, the text begins with an overview of psychiatry
interfaces. The next nine sections cover interfaces with other
medical disciplines including neurology, obstetrics and
gynaecology, gastroenterology, dermatology, and cardiology. The
following sections cover different societal aspects and their
interfaces with psychiatry, including politics, religion, law,
history, philosophy, ethics and culture, and more. The final
chapters discuss education, the arts, and social media.
This new book discusses the physiological factors that contribute
to metabolic syndrome within the human body and spotlights the
beneficial effects on the body of nutraceuticals and functional
ingredients, botanicals and natural dietary supplements,
structurally numerous antioxidants, B-vitamins, and diverse amino
acids and vital nutrients. The book considers the need to preserve
a balance between energy delivery and strength expenditure that is
essential for maintaining an appropriate body mass index (BMI),
which can contribute to less obesity and fewer metabolic disorders,
such as diabetes type II, cardiovascular illnesses, etc. The
authors present recent research that proves that proper
vitamins—including antioxidants, nutrients, micronutrients, and
selected amino acids—can enhance the body’s metabolism and
defend it from inflammatory onslaughts.

This book constitutes the refereeds proceedings of the
International Conference on High Performance Architecture and Grid
Computing, HPAGC 2011, held in Chandigarh, India, in July 2011. The
87 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and
selected from 240 submissions. The papers are organized in topical
sections on grid and cloud computing; high performance
architecture; information management and network security.
The 'Simulator for Database Aggregation using Metadata' addresses
the problem of hardcoded end-user applications by sitting between
the end-user application and the DBMS, and intercepting the end
user's SQL. With a Simulator for Database Aggregation using
metadata, the end-user application now speaks "base-level" SQL and
never attempts to call for an aggregate directly. Using metadata
describing the data warehouse's portfolio of aggregates, the
aggregate navigator transforms the base-level SQL into
"simulator-aware" SQL. The end user and the application designer
can now proceed to build and use applications, blissfully unaware
of which aggregates are available.
Hospital represents a special environment due to the nature of
activities developed. It has many risk factors which can evoke many
disorders and can damage the health of patients and also of staff.
The microbiological factor in hospitals is the most risky for
immuno-compromised patients because it has the potential to start
nosocomial infections (hospital acquired infection). Several
airborne infectious diseases are related to the indoor air quality.
So, Control of airborne transmission of infectious diseases
associated with indoor environments is especially important in
medical environments. There is also an increasing rate of
resistance among the nosocomial pathogens which is particularly
disconcerting. Therefore it is necessary to be aware of nosocomial
infections caused by bioaerosols in hospital environment and
control it to the lowest level. In consideration of above facts air
sample from various wards of different hospitals were analysed for
microbial load and further screened for the incidence of pathogenic
microorganisms with their multidrug resistance ability. Microbial
concentration were compared to the available guidelines and draw
the conclusions and recommendations.
This book aims to assist the scientists working with the medicinal,
biochemical, biophysical, genetic and pharmacological aspects of
topoisomerases and their inhibitors. The book has covered various
aspects of topoisomerases like classification, structural aspects,
basic genetics and mutations, disease implications and cell
signaling networks, which may be helpful for researchers of the
field for better therapeutics. Chapter One deals with structure,
functions and role and of human topoisomerase-I in cancer
progression. It describes a detailed classification, mechanism of
action and recent updates on the development of camptothecin and
non-camptothecin derivatives, along with their Structure-Activity
Relationships (SAR) as topoisomerase-I inhibitors. Chapters Two and
Three cover X-ray co-crystal structures, biological functions and
the significant role of topoisomerase-II isoforms in cancer. A
thorough discussion on classification and various
pharmacoinformatics techniques employed in delineating the binding
mode of topoisomerase-II inhibitors and their mechanism of action
is well presented. Chapter Four deals not only with adverse effects
associated with the use of topoisomerase-I and II inhibitors, but
also includes approaches to overcome them. Chapter Five discusses
various disorders associated with SNPs in topoisomerases and risks
associated with their pharmacogenetics. Chapter Six sheds light on
interactions and cross-talks between topoisomerases and histone
deacetylases, leading to their significant role in drug resistance.
The work is expected to assist the scientists to selectively design
dual/multi-inhibitors of topoisomerases and histone deacetylases.
The authors are thankful to the reviewers, who were so kind in
reviewing and making suggestions for improving this book. This book
could not have been completed without their commendable efforts.
