Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative
disorder in the world after Alzheimer's disease. Thanks to the
pioneering works of Arvid Carlson in the 20th century identifying
dopamine as the main neurochemical agent involved in Parkinson's
disease's onset and progress, our understanding of the
neuropathology has increased. The elaboration of L-Dopa as the
first pharmacological treatment approach has brought new hope for
curing or at least slowing the neurodegenerative progress and the
decline of motor and cognitive functions in Parkinson's disease
patients. To date, imaging techniques along with genetic and
biochemical tools have allowed scientists and clinicians to predict
and diagnose the disease several years prior to the motor
disorder's appearance. Experimental and Clinical Evidence of the
Neuropathology of Parkinson's Disease sheds light on the history of
Parkinson's disease as well as the recent literature on the
epidemiological data worldwide including the prevalence of the
disease, the morbimortality rates, and the sex dimorphism and aging
components. It addresses the current neuropathological evidence of
Parkinson's disease, including the latest discoveries in terms of
neuropathology and treatments available or under clinical trials
with the efficacy and limitations of each. Covering topics such as
epidemiology, stem cells, and neuropathology, this premier
reference source is an excellent resource for clinicians,
physicians, epidemiologists, neuroscientists, microbiologists,
biochemists, pharmacologists, toxicologists, medical professionals,
nurses, medical students and educators, librarians, researchers,
and academicians.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), coronavirus
disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly
discovered coronavirus (SARS-Cov2), which may cause mild to
moderate respiratory complications in most infected people. Older
people and those with chronic and/or acute illnesses may present
serious complications. Underlying mechanisms of the cellular
responses to the virus are not fully revealed; therefore,
understanding the pathophysiology of COVID-19 is crucial to provide
efficient data to define the appropriate and effective therapeutic
strategies to cure and prevent COVID-19-associated complications.
The Handbook of Research on Pathophysiology and Strategies for the
Management of COVID-19 summarizes and assembles the published data
on COVID-19 and provides an answer to the reader for the mystery of
SARS-Cov2's impact on human health through a deep analysis of the
current data available in the literature. This book addresses the
epidemiology and infectious patterns of the disease and the recent
pathophysiological mechanisms of the disease and relationships to
the medical history of the patient. Covering topics from the tie
between COVID-19 and respiratory disease to vaccination
information, this comprehensive reference source is ideal for
clinicians, health professionals, pathologists, virologists,
researchers, academicians, and medical and PhD students.
The faster climate change affects the globe, the faster individuals
will see the negative consequences, which include the decline of
general human health. Comprehension of all climate change-related
etiologies is essential to understanding the importance of global
environmental stability. The Handbook of Research on Global
Environmental Changes and Human Health is a collection of
innovative research to manage the ensuing and numerous climate and
anthropogenic threats to human health. While highlighting topics
including government policy, human security, and population
sensitivity, this book is ideally designed for environmentalists,
policymakers, sociologists, physio pathologists, epidemiologists,
and students seeking current research on reducing population
sensitivity in terms of health related to the different climatic
risks in the changing world.
