Abstract

In this work, the physiological effects of time-varying magnetic fields up to 100 kHz have been investigated, namely magnetic stimulation and body warming. Simulation studies were based on numerical calculations on sophisticated cell and body models. In addition, magnetic stimulation thresholds have been determined experimentally.The project was carried out within the scope of the development of Magnetic Particle Imaging, a new imaging technology for medical diagnostics.

Abstract

" "Literature and Weather. Shakespeare -- Goethe -- Zola" is dedicated to the relation between literature and weather, i.e. a cultural practice and an everyday phenomenon that has played very different epistemic roles in the history of the world. The study undertakes an archaeology of literature's affinity to the weather which tells the story of literature's weathery self-reflection and its creative reinventions as a medium in different epistemic and social circumstances. The book undertakes extensive close readings of three exemplary literary texts: Shakespeare's The Tempest, Goethe's The Sufferings of Young Werther and Zola's The Rougon-Macquarts. These readings provide the basis for reconstructing three distinct formations, negotiating the relationship between literature and weather in the 17th, the 18th and the 19th centuries. The study is a pioneering contribution to the recent debates of literature's indebtedness to the environment. It initiates a rewriting of literary history that is weather-sensitive; the question of literature's agency, its power to affect, cannot be raised without understanding the way the weather works in a certain cultural formation"--

Abstract

La recherche en endocrinologie a été un des points forts de la biologie française au cours des dernières décennies. Elle joue un rôle majeur sur le plan fondamental où, en dehors de son intérêt propre, elle sert de modèle à la compréhension des mécanismes généraux de signalisation. En outre, elle débouche sur certains des problèmes les plus préoccupants de santé publique, donnant lieu à de très importantes approches pharmacologiques et thérapeutiques. L'objet de ce rapport est d'évoquer les plus importants de ces problèmes, situés à l'interface des sciences médicales et des sciences de la société. du point de vue strictement médical, quatre questions se posent avec une acuité croissante : les relations entre hormones et cancers, le traitement substitutif de la ménopause, la contraception hormonale au long terme et l'influence de certaines hormones sur le développement de l'obésité et du diabète de type 2. Un autre sujet important concerne le vieillissement, conçu comme un ensemble complexe de facteurs biologiques, cognitifs, sociaux et finalement sociétaux. Un aspect, plus technique mais également de grande importance, concerne les perturbateurs hormonaux, des produits chimiques qui peuvent modifier de façon indésirable la production de certaines hormones. Un dernier aspect concerne l'utilisation des hormones hors de la médecine, notamment chez les animaux comestibles. L'ambition de ce rapport est de donner l'arrière-plan scientifique permettant de comprendre les mécanismes biologiques impliqués dans ce groupe de problèmes majeurs de santé publique. Les voies de recherches actuelles sont résumées, les voies futures sont indiquées et des recommandations sont présentées. Les principaux partenaires institutionnels intervenant dans chaque cas sont cités. Lorsqu'elles existent, les controverses scientifiques et quelquefois politico-médiatiques sont explicitées. L'ouvrage traite les questions suivantes: 1-Les cancers hormonodépendants: Les mécanismes de base, les cancers du sein, les cancers de la prostate. 2-Le traitement substitutif de la ménopause. 3-L'obésité, les diabète de type 2. 4-Les hormones et le vieillissement. 5-Les perturbateurs hormonaux 6-Les hormones en Zootechnie.

Abstract

Antioxidants in Health and Disease discusses the effects of dietary antioxidants and antioxidant supplementation in humans. It reviews the latest evidence-based research in the area, principally through prospective cohort studies and randomized controlled trials.The book assesses major dietary antioxidants and discusses their use in diseases such as cancer, diabetes, stroke, coronary heart disease, HIV/AIDS, and neurodegenerative and immune diseases. The use of antioxidants in health is also discussed along with common adverse effects associated with antioxidant use.Separating myth from fact,

Abstract

Providing a solid foundation in clinical medicine for optometrists and optometry students, Clinical Medicine for Optometrists covers the systemic medical conditions that have serious impacts on ocular health and function, as well as the ocular exam findings that may be an early indication of significant systemic disease. This unique text explains important medical considerations for optometric practice, meeting the needs of clinical medicine courses in optometry programs, and also serving as a practical reference for optometrists in practice.
