Immediate changes in the body through manual therapy?
This study investigates whether a very short therapeutic treatment involving two pulses to the second cervical vertebra has an effect on blood composition or the blood buffer system. To this end, 21 test subjects were examined in an RCT study before and after receiving either the active treatment or a placebo, using blood gas analysis. The blood gas analyses were read using the Epoc system and evaluated in correlation analyses with pH. The evaluation method takes into account individual buffer capacities and stress levels. This provides a new understanding of 'stress' and clarifies how it affects blood gases and buffer systems in the body. So can such a short treatment really lead to a direct change in the body that can be measured in the blood? And what does this mean? Is it possible to demonstrate physical relief?
From Elements to Atoms
Seeking to enlarge an understanding of the nature of chemical science & explain how the concepts being taught in the classroom came to be, Siegfried presents a simple, readable account of how in the 18th cent. chemical composition slowly abandoned the centuries- long tradition of metaphysical elements of earth, air, fire, & water. Through the work of such scientist as Lavoisier, Dalton, & Davy, chemical theory moved from metaphysical elements to operationally functional atoms. The book is based on chemical writings of 17th- & 18th-cent. chemists; references to recently published secondary works are intended for the benefit of readers who wish to enlarge their perspectives on the development of early chemical thinking.

Moses Maimonides' Glossary of Drug Names
The ten authentic medical treatises of Moses Maimonides lay dormant in manuscript form for many centuries. In the mid-1900s, Hebrew editions of these works were published under the editorship of the late Suessman Muntner of Jerusalem. The pub. of several of these works in English followed, incl. Maimonides' treatises on Asthma (19643), Regimen of Health (1964), Poisons (1966), Hemorrhoids (1969), Responsa (1969), Aphorisms (1970-71), and Sexual Intercourse (1974). This important work represents one of the remaining three Maimonidean treatises that were not yet available to the English reader in 1979, when this volume was published. It has been translated from Max Meyerhof's French Edition. This is a print on demand publication.
Physiologia of Jean Fernel (1567)
Jean Fernel (1497-1558) was one of the foremost medical writers of his day, ranked by his contemporaries alongside Andreas Vesalius, reformer of anatomical studies, and Paracelsus, radical reformer of theories of disease and treatment. He is arguably the leading expositor of the Galenic system of medicine. He exemplifies in his Physiologia the method and approach of a typical Aristotelian philosopher in the period immediately before the downfall of Renaissance Scholasticism. John Forrester offers the Physiologia here in its entirety and provides, for the first time, a complete English translation of the work.

Reproductive Immunogenetics: A Molecular and Clinical Overview, Vol. 3
Immunogenetics: A Molecular and Clinical Overview, Vol. 3, Immune Cells and Immunotherapeutics in Recurrent Miscarriage provides an overview of the scientific knowledge, achievements, and findings in the field of immunogenetics of recurrent pregnancy loss. With a strong focus on the role immune cells can play in recurrent pregnancy loss, the book also examines immune therapeutic aspects. In fifteen chapters, the book describes the roles of both helper cells, nature killer cells, lymphoid cells, regulatory cells and macrophages in recurrent pregnancy loss. In addition, it describes clinical outcomes of several therapies and gives insight into new treatments. This new release is a valuable resource for health professionals, scientists and researchers, and all those who wish to broaden their knowledge in the allied field.
Optics of the Human Eye
This book describes the optical structure and optical properties of the human eye. It is divided into a number of short chapters with each chapter dedicated to a single theme. For ease of reference, the most commonly useful topics are at the beginning and topics with narrower appeal, such as ocular aberrations, are placed towards the end.
Eco-Cooling Chambers Without Electricity
This book explores the design, construction, and performance of zero-energy cooling chambers using natural, locally available materials like cocopeat, sand, sawdust, and gunny bags. Built on the principles of passive evaporative cooling, these chambers offer an eco-friendly, low-cost solution for preserving perishable items such as fruits, vegetables, dairy, and flowers in rural areas without electricity. Through detailed design guidelines, experimental data, and practical insights, the book demonstrates how such chambers can maintain temperatures 10-14簞C lower than ambient, significantly extending shelf life. Ideal for farmers, researchers, and sustainability enthusiasts, the book highlights challenges, solutions, and future opportunities for scaling this green innovation in agriculture.
Exploring the Ethics of Clinical Xenotransplantation
This book provides a comprehensive examination of the ethics of xenotransplantation. Due to the global shortage of organs for transplantation, there is increasing interest in cross-species transplantation, or xenotransplantation, among researchers and clinicians. Proponents of xenotransplantation envision a future in which transplantable organs can be safely and efficiently grown in genetically modified pigs. This book provides an overview of the major ethical issues involved in xenotransplantation. Xenotransplantation touches on almost every area of bioethics: animal research, public health, patient selection, allocation, global justice, pediatric research, and informed consent. Each chapter provides a nuanced overview of the positions that have been offered on a specific topic and the authors seek to provide a way forward. Exploring the Ethics of Clinical Xenotransplantation is an essential resource for researchers, students, and clinicians working in bioethics, medical ethics, animal ethics, and public health policy.
