First isolated as a chemical compound by a Russian chemist in 1866, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) proved to be a near-perfect solvent for decades before its remarkable biological and medical activities were discovered. DMSO is one of the most prodigious agents ever to come out of the world of drug development. Its wide range of biological actions involving plants, animals, and humans has led to the publication of tens of thousands of articles in the scientific literature. Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) in Trauma and Disease examines the major clinical uses of DMSO in humans as supported by basic evidence derived from experiments in animals, including its effects in disorders such as osteoarthritis, interstitial cystitis, gastrointestinal inflammatory changes, scleroderma, respiratory distress, myasthenia gravis, cardiac disease, traumatic brain injury, and Alzheimer's disease. The effects of DMSO on pain, cancer, stroke, and spinal cord injury are also discussed. The book explores how its chemical structure is able to react and deactivate toxic molecules generated by DNA damage, free radical formation, inflammation, oxidation, and infection. For the first time, the collective data on the biological, chemical, and medical actions of DMSO are presented and analyzed from the published scientific literature. Clearly written, the book incorporates easy-to-understand scientific descriptions that appeal both to health care professionals and the millions of people worldwide who have used DMSO for an assortment of ailments as a prescriptive or off-label medication.

R3,013 Discovery Miles 30 130 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Co-utilization or blending of residuals offers a unique opportunity to develop products with particular characteristics that are able to target specific customer needs. The very notion of deliberately blending by-products suggests that the recycling and beneficial reuse industries are taking a quantitative step forward towards developing products rather than simply reusing residuals. At the same time that this step provides unique opportunities, it also presents unique challenges. The science associated with the beneficial use of one product may not apply when that product is mixed with another residual. Blending of materials may alter the chemistry of the components of the mixture. This may offer additional benefits, as in the case of disease suppression in composts, or present unexpected problems, as the use of lime-stabilized biosolids has done in Maryland. This book consists of the proceedings of the Beltsville Symposium. The organizers of the Symposium attempted to structure a meeting that would outline both the potential benefits of co-utilization as well as concerns. The editors have divided the proceedings into sections that describe the practical basis for co-utilization of residuals as well as the potential benefits. Specific considerations are described. Finally, case studies include descriptions of successful operations and data that detail results of research involving co-utilization materials. Blending of materials for specific objectives needs to be the focus of any successful co-utilization effort. The scientific implications of the mix need to be determined before a product can be used properly.

DaB der Rektor der UniversiHit Heidelberg, Magnifizenz Prof. Dr. iuris Adolf LAUFS, ein Arztrechtler aus Neigung ist, weiB man im deutschen Sprachgebiet lange schon. DaB er und der Kreis der ihm nahestehenden Rechtsgelehrten geneigt sein kennten, mit uns Medizinern zusammenzuar- beiten, um ein Symposium von Rang zustande zu bringen, war allen, die es angehen konnte, freudige Genugtuung. Bei dieser Konstellation war es nicht schwer, den Pdisidenten der Heidelberger Akademie der Wissenschaften, Herrn Prof. Dr. Dr. lng. E. h. Otto HAXEL, zu gewinnen, um in der Convergenz der Potentiale eine brauchbare Arbeit zustande zu bringen. Die Tagung fand vorwiegend in den Raumen der Heidelberger Akademie der Wissenschaften statt, eine SchluBapotheose, im Kreise der arztlichen Offentlichkeit, durch den Prasidenten der Bundesarztekammer C. VILMAR freundlichst geleitet und gefOrdert, im Pathologischen lnsti- tut der Universitat Heidelberg. Vorliegendes Bandchen bringt die Texte der im Rahmen des Symposium gehaltenen Vortrage. Die redaktionelle Zu- richtung hat an der lndividualita. t der Darbietungen auch beziiglich etwaiger Literaturangaben nichts gea. ndert. Aber auf die Wiedergabe der Diskussionsbemerkungen wurde verzichtet. Diese waren "auf Band" aufgenommen und ha. t- ten natiirlich reproduziert werden kennen. Allein, diese durch oft liebenswiirdige Temperamente gesteuerten Einlas- sungen tragen betont subjektive Ziige, die es mir gera- ten erscheinen lieBen, nicht zu vieles zu bringen. Ahnlich war die Problemlagehinsichtlich unseres Rundtischgespra. - ches. Die generelle Gliederung des Symposium durch W olf- gang JACOB, in mehreren Sitzungen mit A. LAUFS und E. DEUTSCH erarbeitet, ist logisch und iiberzeugend.

Why is it so difficult to remain married in thetwenty-first century, and what can you do about it? We all know that half of today's marriages end in divorce, but we tend to believe that our own marriages are safe. As psychiatrist John Jacobs explains in this fresh and impassioned book, marriages today are incredibly fragile, and unless a couple understands what is making contemporary marriage so vulnerable to dissolution, the marriage is at risk. Part of the problem is that people refuse to see how social and historical forces have changed the very meaning of marriage, causing serious interpersonal unhappiness. Because of increased longevity, married people live together longer than at any time in history. There's been an erosion of the social and cultural forces that traditionally kept marriages together. Confusion over gender-role responsibilities, increased expectations of sexual satisfaction, and intense time pressures on couples to work and be successful all create marital stress. And yet, most people don't acknowledge the problems in their marriage until it is too late. We tend to believe in the "lies of marriage" -- such concepts as soul mates, unconditional love, that children improve a relationship, that the sexual revolution has made marital sex more pleasurable, or that egalitarian marriage offers couples easy solutions -- and forget to engage in the constant hardwork required to keep our marriages alive. Dr. Jacobs believes that most marriages have significant problems at some time, but until we recognize the new realities of marriage and develop the skills required to sustain a loving, intimate relationship, marriages are at risk. Of course marriage is about love. But that's just the beginning.

Die meisten Lebewesen miissen, wie der Mensch, fUr Ruhe und Bewegung dauernd oder doch zeitweilig einen "festen Boden unter den FiiBen" haben. In der Regel ist ihnen die Erdoberflache direkt oder indirekt diese Stiitze; sie sind Bodenbewohner. Das gilt auch fiir viele Tiere im Wasser. Nur vergleichsweise selten wird die Tragkraft der Wasseroberflache geniitzt, in besonderer Weise etwa von den zu den Wanzen gehorenden Wasserlaufern, die sich, getragen von der Oberflachenspannung, geschickt auf Teichen oder Bachen tummeln. Indessen, der freie Wasser-oder Luftraum ist ja keineswegs leblose Wiiste. Es gibt eine immerhin betrachtliche Zahl - meist kleiner - Tiere und Pflanzen, die eine mehr oder weniger lange Spanne ihres Lebens, ja ihr ganzes Da- sein fern vom Boden frei im Wasser verbringen. Ein Dauer- bewohner des Luftraums ist nicht bekannt. Jeder aber weiB, daB Tiere aus den verschiedensten Gruppen gute Flieger sind. Wir nehmen es als so selbstverstandlich hin, wenn wir sehen, wie die Mowe sich im Winde wiegt, die Biene von Bliite zu Bliite eilt, die Fledermaus in der Dammerung dem Insektenfang obliegt. Der Mensch ist recht stolz darauf, daB auch ihm schlieBlich mit den Mitteln moderner Technik die "Eroberung der Luft" gelang. Aber es mag uns nachdenklich sti mmen - die Pioniere des Menschenfluges hat es immer beschaftigt -, daB der Natur dies Wagnis mehrfach und schon vor Millionen von Jahren gegliickt ist.

Den 100. Geburtstag Viktor von Weizsackers durch ein Symposion zu feiern, das vom 1. bis 3. Mai 1986 im Rahmen der 600-Jahr-Feiern der Universitat Heidelberg veranstaltet wurdc, dafiir gab es mancherlei Anlasse und Griinde. Neben der immer bewegenden Frage, in welcher Weise das geistige Erbe eines so vielseitigen Arztes, Forschers und Den- kers in das Gedankengut der Gegenwart aufgenommen oder nicht aufge- nommen worden ist, laBt sich die Beteiligung derer, die ihn personlich kannten oder seine SchUler waren, vielleicht als das wichtigste Ereignis sehen. Durch vielfache Umstande ist das Werk Viktor von Weizsackers, des Heidelberger Klinikers und Arztes, der gemeinsam mit seinem Lehrer Ludolf Krehl und seinem Freund Richard Siebeck die "Heidelberger Schule" begriindet hat, der heutigen Medizin weitgehend unzuganglich geblieben. Viktor von Weizsacker wird zwar als der Begriinder der deut- schen Psychosomatik nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg angesehen und gewiir- digt, aber die Rezeption seines Werkes ist weder im deutschsprachigen Raum noch in den europaischen und auBereuropaischen Landern so weit fortgeschritten, daB man von einer internationalen Anerkennung sprechen konnte. Seine Wirkungen in den USA waren zumeist indirekt, vornehm- lich vermittelt durch die Bostoner Schule von Erich Lindemann; die Reflektionen der Kollegen aus Spanien und Finnland, aus Japan, Italien und Siidamerika zeigen zwar ebenfalls die Suche nach einer Neuorientie- rung in der Medizin, sind aber vorerst Einzelstimmen geblieben. Dennoch scheint aus einem immer starker werdenden Bediirfnis zunehmend die Einsicht zu wachsen, daB die gegenwartige immense Entwicklungskrise der Medizin in komplementaren Zusammenhangen verstanden werden muB und einer grundlegenden anthropologischen Besinnung bedarf.

Den Aufstieg, den die Landwirtschaft fast aller Lander in dem vergangenen halben Jahrhundert genommen hat, verdankt sie zunachst den wissenschaft lichen Forschungen auf dem Gebiete der pflanzlichen Ernahrungslehre. Diese Erkenntnisse fiihrten zu der Anwendung von kunstlichen Dungemitteln. Beschaffung und Herstellung dieser ist eine der wichtigsten Aufgaben der chemischen Industrie. Die Landwirtschaft gehOrt heute mit zu den groBten Verbrauchern chemischer Produkte. Die Wichtigkeit der Landwirtschaft beruht daher nicht allein in ihrer Aufgabe, Nahrungsstoffe fUr Mensch und Vieh zu erzeugen, sondern ihr kommt als Hauptabnehmer industrieller Erzeugnisse auch eine groBe, volkswirtschaftliche Bedeutung zu. Jene Behauptung, daB der Mensch seit fast einem Jahrhundert nm mit Hille der Wissenschaft produziert, trifft nicht zum wenigsten auf die Landwirtschaft zu. "Auch sie ist ein Gewerbe, das zu einer Kunst erst bei hochster Vollendung wird und dann der wissenschaft lichen Erkenntnis bei der Ausubung bedarf, wenn die hOchste Leistung erzielt werden soIl. " Zahlreiche Forschungsanstalten und Institute sind hente in der ganzen Welt tatig, urn die Kenntnisse der Ernahrung und Dungung deL land wirtschaftlichen Kultmpflanzen auf wissenschaftlicher Grundlage zu vertiefen und zu erweitern.
