Description : Endocarditis is an inflammation of the lining of the heart and valves. It can be due to a non-infectious cause but when the inflammation is associated with an infection, usually bacterial, it is known as infective endocarditis. It is typically characterized by the development of a large septic thrombus on one of the cardiac valves. As this thrombus grows, it can lead to valve failure or may fragment forming a septic embolus that is associated with high mortality if the target of the embolus is the brain, heart or lung. This book reviews multi-organ complications associated with Infective endocarditis including significant recent advances in molecular mechanisms underlying thrombus formation on the cardiac valve, anti-microbial treatment and surgery.

Trauma and Emergency Surgery - Contemporary Approach
Author: Erdal Güngör
$99
Code : MT0003
ISBN : 9788197930362
Publishing year : 2025
Description: How can we ensure the best outcomes for the trauma victim? The two most common causes of traumatic deaths and major sequelae are blood loss and neurological injuries, which account for two-thirds of trauma-related deaths. Hemorrhagic shock is an important cause of organ failure and late mortality, and 50% of early deaths (within the first 24 hours) due to trauma are due to bleeding. Regarding trauma resuscitation, significant changes have been achieved in the last three decades, resulting in substantial improvement in survival. However, blood loss is still the leading cause of death in the first 24 hours in hospital. Nowadays, optimal goals in resuscitation with fluids and blood products represent a hot debate. Permissive hypotension is increasingly recommended because high-volume fluid resuscitation may increase trauma-related bleeding, organ failure, and mortality. New agents such as tranexamic acid also offer life-saving opportunities. This book explores new advances in the struggle to save lives in trauma resuscitation.

This book presents current research on depression and antidepressants, including use of antidepressants in alcohol use disorders and pregnancy, treatment-resistant depression, and development of potential new medications.

Renin-Angiotensin System -
Past, Present and Future
Author: Émilie Pepin
$129
Code : MR0004
ISBN :9789348117625
Publishing year : 2025
Description: Exploring the contractile activity of smooth muscle segments isolated from various organs of healthy animals and animals with experimentally induced diabetes, she obtained original data about angiotensin II-induced force and time parameters. For the first time, she established the effect of ghrelin on angiotensin II-provoked contraction of the urinary bladder. Original data on the role of both types of angiotensin receptors for the contractile activity of the various segments of the gastrointestinal tract and bladder were obtained. By applying specific software for force and time parameter analysis, the contribution of different types of angiotensin receptors on muscle contractility has been shown. The new methodology was used to analyze the data obtained during the registration of smooth muscle relaxation activity, which allows the determination of not only the magnitude of the mechanical response but also the parameters related to the time and speed of the contractions. Plasma renin activity models have been developed using mathematical approaches to predict the effect of different drug doses on the behavior of the system.
Schizophrenia

ISBN : 9789348117540
Publishing year : 2025
Description: Patients with schizophrenia need a personalized medicine approach where the pharmacological and neurological mechanism is understood from the perspective of the patient’s own experience and symptoms. Even though genetics play a role in the etiology, there are other important contributing risk factors. Schizophrenia is not a single-disease entity but has overlapping neurobiological and clinical profiles with other disorders such as autism and stress-related disorder. This expanded conceptualization benefits not only scholars but also diagnosing clinicians, as the diagnosis of schizophrenia is not always straightforward. The authors of this book discuss neurochemistry, animal models and antipsychotic models of schizophrenia to arrive at a personalized medicine approach for patients with schizophrenia. New treatment prospects from pharmacogenetic and neurotechnology research bring hope to clinicians and patients alike that, with continuing scientific studies, precisely targeted care is becoming available, with the potential of further alleviating the symptoms. Music therapy and patient-centered nursing practice are important aspects of clinical care as new directions are explored. This book will benefit researchers, clinicians, patients and family members needing a compact state-of-the-art reference resource. Knowledge is not only empowering but consoling, as our collective efforts to advance our understanding will translate into better treatment outcomes and the promise of a freer life for the patient..

Thalassemia and Other Hemolytic Anemias
Author: Luxin Yu and Yinghui Zhang
$119
Code : MT0007
ISBN : 9789348117502
Publishing year : 2025
Description: Thalassemia is a very common disease first described by pediatrician Thomas Benton Cooley in 1925 who described it in a patient of Italian origin. At that time, it was designated as Cooley’s anemia. George Hoyt Whipple, a Nobel prize winner, and W. L. Bradford, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Rochester, coined the term thalassemia in 1936, which in Greek means anemia of the sea (Thalassa means “sea”, and emia means “blood”), due to the fact that it is very common in the area of the Mediterranean Sea. This name is actually misleading because it can occur everywhere in the world. Thalassemia is not a single disease; it is rather a group of hereditary disorders of the production of globulin chain of the hemoglobin. Throughout the world, thalassemia affects approximately 4.4 of every 10,000 live births. It represents a major social and emotional impact on the patient and his family and a major burden on health services where the prevalence is high.

COPD
Author: Steven Jones
$129
Code : MC0018
ISBN : 9789348117885
Publishing year : 2025
Description: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a (currently) incurable and irreversible lung condition with worldwide mortality rates similar to stroke, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease. Treatments are limited to the removal of the underlying causes (e.g., exposure to smoke), easing some of the symptoms, and slowing the rate at which the disease worsens. As a consequence of smoking, it is less well known than lung cancer even though it has an equal or higher mortality rate. It is a combination of diseases that affects bronchioles and alveoli to different extents from patient to patient. An accurate diagnosis of each patient’s physiology is potentially useful in tailoring treatment to the underlying physiology. This book provides an overview of the underlying pathology of the disease. It then discusses some of the clinical tools available to obtain pathology-specific diagnosis for a given patient. A section then discusses the consequences of the disease. While some of these consequences are readily expected from a cursory understanding of the disease (anemia and shortness of breath), others are less obvious (muscle atrophy, impaired balance, and cardiac problems). In the final sections, disease treatment is addressed. The book is intended to convey two important points. The first is that hope exists for more effective treatments in the future, while the second is that these treatments will require strong collaborations among researchers in a variety of disciplines.

Code : MR0007
ISBN : 9788198820792
Publishing year : 2025
Description: Rapid antigen tests became popular during the COVID-19 pandemic as affordable diagnostic tools to help control the spread of infection, thanks to their cost-effectiveness and simplicity of use. These features enabled their widespread employment at point-of-care, even in those countries where access to care is still limited. The advantages of this diagnostic approach have been demonstrated in practical applications and have envisaged their utilization in other diagnostic fields in which access to prevention is beneficial, such as in the fight against neglected diseases and cancer. As such, the need to further improve the performance of rapid antigen assays is urgent. At the same time, the replacement of natural bioligands with synthetic ones to increase sustainability is likely to support the future development of the technique. The boundaries of applications of rapid antigen tests are still expanding towards several fields, beyond clinical diagnostics to food safety, forensics, and veterinary testing. This book provides a comprehensive overview of rapid antigen testing, discussing both its benefits and limitations.

Description: Sickle cell anemia is an inherited disorder of the globin chains that causes hemolysis and chronic organ damage. Sickle cell anemia is the most common form of sickle cell disease (SCD), with a lifelong affliction of hemolytic anemia requiring blood transfusions, pain crises, and organ damage. Since the first description of the irregular sickle-shaped red blood cells (RBCs) more than 100 years ago, our understanding of the disease has evolved tremendously. Recent advances in the field, more so within the last three decades, have alleviated symptoms for countless patients, especially in high-income countries. Although there is evidence of several important therapies in the pipeline, greater investment in research is needed into both of these therapies and the dissemination of effective care to the affected population, especially because of historical mistrust. In this book, we present an overview of sickle cell disease, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, complications, and recent treatment modalities and prospective research that will enable the reader to get a better understanding of this hot topic.
