Diagnosis and Treatment of Small Bowel Disorders
Over the last few decades, remarkable progress has been made in understanding the aetiology and pathophysiology of diseases and many new theories emphasize the importance of the small bowel 'ecosystem' in the pathogenesis of acute and chronic illness. Emerging factors such as microbiome, stem cells, innate intestinal immunity and the enteric nervous system along with mucosal and endothelial barriers have key role in the development of gastrointestinal and extra-intestinal diseases. Therefore, the small intestine is considered key player in metabolic disease development, including diabetes mellitus, and other diet-related disorders such as celiac and non-celiac enteropathies. Another major field is drug metabolism and its interaction with microbiota. Moreover, the emergence of gut-brain, gut-liver and gut-blood barriers points toward the important role of small intestine in the pathogenesis of common disorders, such as liver disease, hypertension and neurodegenerative disease. However, the small bowel remains an organ that is difficult to fully access and assess and accurate diagnosis often poses a clinical challenge. Eventually, the therapeutic potential remains untapped. Therefore, it is due time to direct our interest towards the small intestine and unravel the interplay between small-bowel and other gastrointestinal (GI) and non-GI related maladies.
Features of Pathogenesis of Human Viral Infections and Antiviral Drugs
Among infectious diseases, viral infections are the leading cause of death worldwide, especially in the most low-income countries, particularly in young children. Most of the human viruses are all well characterized in terms of structure, life-cycle, tropism, and associated primary pathologies, but many of the pathogenetic mechanisms underlying their ability to cause acute infection, persist or reactivate in the host and cause chronic and/or degenerative damage, and still need to be fully clarified. At the same time, it seems necessary to develop novel therapeutic approaches and rationale, and possibly more potent antiviral compounds that are addressed to novel targets.

Cannabis als Arzneimittel in der Krebstherapie. Forschungsstand und m繹gliche Effekte
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich Medizin - Alternative Medizin, Note: 2,3, Alice-Salomon Hochschule Berlin, Veranstaltung: Gesundheitswissenschaften, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Arbeit stellt sich die Frage, ob Cannabis eine Alternativbehandlungsm繹glichkeit im Hinblick auf die konventionelle Krebstherapie (CINV) ist und ob ein Effekt bei der Behandlung von Krebspatienten*innen aufgrund wissenschaftlicher Studien erzielt werden kann. Noch vor ein paar Jahren galt Cannabis, beziehungsweise das Konsumieren der Cannabispflanze, als Einstiegsdroge, doch in den letzten Jahrzehnten hat sich die Sicht auf die vermeintliche Droge Cannabis und den darin enthalten Wirkstoff THC/CBD gewandelt. Die Legalisierung von Cannabis in Deutschland scheint greifbar nah. Und auch das Interesse in der Medizin ist seit den letzten Jahrzehnten in Hinblick auf die Behandlung von verschiedenen Krankheiten, z.B. Schmerzen, Angstzust瓣nden und ?belkeit, Erbrechen bei der Chemotherapie, immer wieder pr瓣sent in der Politik und in den Medien vertreten, welches die Aktualit瓣t und Relevanz ganz klar deutlich macht.

Opioids and Their Receptors
The interest in opioids such as morphine, the prototypical opioid ligand, has been maintained through the years. The identification of endogenous opioids and their receptors (mu, delta, kappa, and nociceptin), molecular cloning, and the elucidation of the crystal structures of opioid receptors represent key milestones in opioid research. The opioid system modulates numerous pharmacological responses, with therapeutic (i.e., analgesia) and detrimental side effects (i.e., addiction). The medical use and misuse of opioids have dramatically increased, leading to the 21st century opioid crisis. This book presents recent developments in opioid drug discovery, specifically in the medicinal chemistry and pharmacology of new ligands targeting the opioid receptors as effective and safe therapeutics for human diseases. Furthermore, it draws a special attention to advancing concepts and strategies in opioid drug discovery to mitigate opioid liabilities. The diversity among the discussed topics is a testimony to the complexity of the opioid system, which results from the expression, regulation, and functional role of ligands and receptors. The array of multidisciplinary research areas illustrates the rapidly developing basic research and translational activities in opioid drug discovery. This book will serve as a useful reference while also stimulating continued research in the chemistry and pharmacology of opioids and their receptors, with the prospect of developing improved therapies for human diseases, but also improving health and quality of life in general.

Asthma
Asthma is a common complex and heterogeneous respiratory disease with an increasing prevalence in developed countries. Asthma is a disease consisting of different phenotypes that are driven by different mechanistic pathways (endotypes). The recognition of these phenotypes and endotypes is central to asthma management entailing prognostic and therapeutic implications. It is acknowledged that despite optimal treatment, many patients are poorly controlled, highlighting the need for phenotype-guided treatments. In this context, the emergence of novel therapies (monoclonal antibody therapy, bronchial thermoplasty) is paving the way for personalized asthma therapy. A better understanding of disease pathogenesis may enable the identification of biomarkers, mediators, novel therapeutic targets, and treatable traits. Further molecular phenotyping or endotyping of asthma will be necessary to tailor new therapeutic strategies. The present Special Issue on Asthma aims to provide the current knowledge on phenotypes and endotypes in appreciating and managing the heterogeneous condition that is asthma.

Healing Through the Use of Plants
From the ancient times the use of plants (food, herbs, palms, shrubs, trees etc.) has been the main source and of man's survival, providing both nutritional and curative resources for his optimum health, as designed by God, his Physician. A few ancient nations like Egypt, Israel, Greece, Rome, China, Japan and India have also used plants to treat several hard-to-cure diseases, such as all types of cancers and diabetes. Some of the plants include sweet basil, rosemary, thyme, been, fever herb, umpkin fruits and seeds, alliums species (onion family) eucalyptus, mahogany, spathodea, pawpaw, tomato, guava, dendelon, Shea butter, sweet potato, blackjack, amaranths, etc., to treat or cure these notorious and deadly diseases. The concept and belief in the use of these plants to treat and cure diseases actually indicate that they possess disease-fighting chemicals, phyltom nutrients, functional food potential and antiviral, antibacterial, antheseptic, ant-protozoa and anti-fungal properties. Modern scientific research into plants has basically proved the nutritional and healing values in these plants that have been used in treating and curing degenerative diseases sometime and somewhere in many nations on all the continents of the world. For instance: MANIHOT ESCULENTA (Cassava)DISEASES - Age-related manicula degeneration, anaemia, bleeding cut, cancers, cholera, diarrhoea, eye infection, poor blood circulation, scurvy, skin disorders, vomiting and weak immunity. NUTRITIONAL PROPERTIES, VALUES AND ACTIONS Alpha-carotenes, anticoagulant, antimicrobial, antioxidants, antiviral, beta-carotenes, carbohydrate, chlorophyll, dietary fibre (roughage), hydro cyanic acid (HCN), iron (Fe), protein, starch, vitamin A (carotenes), vitamins B complex, vitamins C (ascorbic acid) and water (H2O).MEDICAL PREPARATION S AND USES: LEAF - The juice of the leaf is applied topically to treat newly bleeding cuts to stop the oozing blood and avoid excessive loss of blood. The leaf is Incorporated, or added, to the daily diet to supply vitamins A, B complex and C to improve or treat eye infections, tone the skin, promote hair growth and it acts as an immune booster. The leaf part contains hydro cyanic accident (HCN), so it should be books or steamed to dissipate the compound before eating. One or two drop of the juice of the leaf may be applied on the eye (s) 2 times daily to treat eye infections like "Apollo." Likewise, 2 or 3 drop of the juice of the leaf may be applied topically 3 times daily on the mid-part of the head as well as on the eyes to stop diarrhea, cholera and vomiting in both children and adults. TUBER - The tuber is suitable for consumption by diabetics due to its high starch content which regulates diabetes. Cassava tubers are a far better food choice for diabetics than refined or polished grains due to the loss of vitamins and minerals sustained by the latter during processing. This loss spikes the serum blood sugar to cause susceptibility for the creation of diabetes.
The Handbook of Constitutional and Energetic Herbal Medicine
A unique and essential textbook bridging the gap between herbal medicine therapeutics and orthodox medicine. Based upon a constitutional approach to treatment, The Handbook of Constitutional and Energetic Herbal Medicine is a synthesis of the traditional herbal approach integrated with biomedical constructs. While this holistic approach to treatment may seem incompatible with the biomedical approach, this is largely due to the lack of understanding of the medical interpretation of holism. In fact, the spirit, mind, body axis can be understood in terms of psycho-physiological processes and principles. It is a matter of interpretation and adaptation of principle. This book will appeal to those involved in both complementary and mainstream medicine seeking a holistic approach which is rational and interpretable in biomedical terms.

Novel Biomarkers for Heart Disease
Cardiac biomarkers such as troponins and natiuretic peptides have made a great impact on clinical decision making as well as improving our understanding of molecular mechanisms of different disease conditions. However, the biomarkers that are currently in use do not reflect all the multiple disease pathways that are involved in a broad spectrum of cardiac disease conditions ranging from acute coronary syndrome, to heart failure (and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, HFpEF), to pulmonary hypertension or arrhythmias. In this Special Issue, we will provide an overview of the current developments in the field of biomarker research, beginning with research on molecular pathways and cellular communication (e.g., microRNA) up to the clinical use of biomarkers.

Practical Statistics for Pharmaceutical Analysis
This is an introductory statistics book designed to provide scientists with practical information needed to apply the most common statistical tests to laboratory research data. The book is designed to be practical and applicable, so only minimal information is devoted to theory or equations. Emphasis is placed on the underlying principles for effective data analysis and survey the statistical tests. It is of special value for scientists who have access to Minitab software. Examples are provides for all the statistical tests and explanation of the interpretation of these results presented with Minitab (similar to results for any common software package). The book is specifically designed to contribute to the AAPS series on advances in the pharmaceutical sciences. It benefits professional scientists or graduate students who have not had a formal statistics class, who had bad experiences in such classes, or who just fear/don't understand statistics. Chapter 1 focuses on terminology and essential elements of statistical testing. Statistics is often complicated by synonyms and this chapter established the terms used in the book and how rudiments interact to create statistical tests. Chapter 2 discussed descriptive statistics that are used to organize and summarize sample results. Chapter 3 discussed basic assumptions of probability, characteristics of a normal distribution, alternative approaches for non-normal distributions and introduces the topic of making inferences about a larger population based on a small sample from that population. Chapter 4 discussed hypothesis testing where computer output is interpreted and decisions are made regarding statistical significance. This chapter also deasl with the determination of appropriate sample sizes. The next three chapters focus on tests that make decisions about a population base on a small subset of information. Chapter 5 looks at statistical tests that evaluate where a significant difference exists. In Chapter 6 the tests try to determine the extent and importance of relationships. In contrast to fifth chapter, Chapter 7 presents tests that evaluate the equivalence, not the difference between levels being tested. The last chapter deals with potential outlier or aberrant values and how to statistically determine if they should be removed from the sample data. Each statistical test presented includes an example problem with the resultant software output and how to interpret the results. Minimal time is spent on the mathematical calculations or theory. For those interested in the associated equations, supplemental figures are presented for each test with respective formulas. In addition, Appendix D presents the equations and proof for every output result for the various examples. Examples and results from the appropriate statistical results are displayed using Minitab 18?. In addition to the results, the required steps to analyze data using Minitab are presented with the examples for those having access to this software. Numerous other software packages are available, including based data analysis with Excel.
The Guiding Symptoms Of Our Materia Medica (Volume Ii)
The Guiding Symptoms of Our Materia Medica, Volume II - a compass for clinical observation and therapeutic judgement. An indispensable guide for practice. Hering's meticulous compilation stands as a foundational homeopathic materia medica: a symptom guidebook and therapeutic indications manual that arranges careful clinical symptom analysis beside remedy headings.

Its concise formulations make it suited to consultation and comparative study; the tone is clinical yet humane, privileging patient detail over theory. Read alongside a Kent repertory companion or the Boericke materia medica, the volume rewards repertorial comparison and deepens practical understanding; it clarifies why particular rubrics matter and how subtle symptom differences change therapeutic direction. Its disciplined attention to symptom nuance is as useful in a teaching clinic as it is at the bedside; careful readers discover that its economy of language conceals a depth of clinical suggestion. Rooted in nineteenth century medicine, the text is a direct witness to the observational habits and language of an earlier clinical culture, and it matters to anyone exploring alternative medicine history or the development of homeopathic method. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Casual readers curious about historical medical thought will find vivid, accessible witness; students will discover a rigorous student reference homeopathy; collectors of classic medical reference will prize its authority and provenance. Practising clinicians will return to its pages as a steady homeopathy remedies guide and enduring symptom guidebook, and those tracing repertorial practice will recognise its quiet influence on later reference works. Well suited to university libraries, personal collections and the shelves of practising homeopaths, this edition makes a compelling addition to any collection of nineteenth-century medicine and alternative medicine history.
