Infection, Super Infection and Antimicrobial Management in ICU
Assessing the risk of difficult-to-treat bacterial superinfections, such as multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacilli, according to comorbidities, lung abnormalities or systemic diseases, the severity of pneumonia and the risks of drug-related effects are crucial points for the clinical management. Despite the wide-and not always appropriate-use of broad-spectrum antimicrobials, specific data about bacterial and fungal co-infection in COVID-19 patients are lacking, and confirmed evidence is urgently required to build prospective evidence and to support the development of antimicrobial policy and appropriate stewardship interventions. The present Special Issue aims to focus on the following key points: Importance of superinfections in COVID-19 patients who are typically characterized by immunosuppression related to viral infection, need for prolonged hospitalization, treatment with immunomodulatory therapies (steroids, monoclonal antibodies, etc.); Their impact on the outcome of a cohort of patients who are relatively young, with few comorbidities, but requiring prolonged invasive support; Incidence, characteristics and impact of bacterial infections caused by multidrug-resistant, Gram-negative pathogens in the context of COVID-19 disease; Incidence, characteristics and impact of fungal infections, such as the most known invasive aspergillosis but also candidemia and/or other fungal infections (e.g., mucormycosis); Antimicrobial surveillance, control and management measures as implemented on a local, national and international basis.

Workplace Health and Wellbeing during and beyond COVID-19
In this book, we focus on health and wellbeing in the workforce within the context of the global COVID-19 pandemic, and the post-pandemic era. We begin by exploring the impacts of the pandemic on diverse occupational groups, considering the broader mental health impacts of the pandemic, reactions to national lockdowns and behavioural strategies to control the spread of the virus, such as social distancing and self-isolation, attitudes towards infection control and work presenteeism. Next, we explore the relationship between job factors, working conditions and psychological wellbeing of employees. The papers that follow examine changes in work patterns and locations, such as remote, hybrid, and on-site working, the impact of organizational climate on mental wellbeing, and organizational approaches to return-to-work after lockdown. Finally, we present innovative organizational- and individual-level pandemic mitigation interventions, including SARS-CoV-2 testing services and infection control approaches, digital mental health support, and COVID-19 Vaccine Education. This collection demonstrates the breadth of research on work, health and wellbeing, during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic, covering workforce impacts and workforce interventions in various countries and settings. Learning from this research will help to build global preparedness for future pandemics and foster resilience for responding in times of crisis and uncertainty.

Nutritional Modulation of Dietary Sugars as a Strategy to Improve Insulin Resistance and Energy Balance in Diabetes
This Special Issue covers an important topic that has relevance not only from a scientific point of view but also from nutritional, policy, and industrial perspectives. We are currently being subjected to increasing obesogenic pressures, with sugars being hidden in many foods, creating the perfect environment for the slow but consistent progression of metabolic dysfunction. The consumption and impact of dietary sugars on the gastrointestinal system is discussed, together with the dietary sources of naturally occurring and added sugars, as well as the role of different diets and dietary regimens in preventing post-prandial sugar increases and hyperinsulinemia. The intestinal metabolism of dietary sugars, including the formation and absorption of advanced glycation end products and their impact on gut microbiota, is also considered. In terms of the impact of dietary sugars on other metabolic processes, the increased and sustained consumption of sugars causes long-term alterations in beta-cell function and the hypothalamic pathways controlling energy balance and the development of addictive behaviors, inducing mitochondrial impairment, oxidative stress, and the modulation of inflammatory pathways. Seeking to advance the development of prevention strategies to avoid the negative impact of dietary sugars, we outline the role of exercise in reducing blood markers of glucose dysmetabolism and the importance of preventing excessive sugar consumption in critical phases of development owing to its long-term consequences. Additionally, we discuss pathophysiological processes and mechanisms of disease.

Lost in Language & Sound
Lewis Charles Arlington, (author of In Search of Old Peking) is an American who worked in Beijing at the end of the Qing and the beginning of the Republic of China. In this essay he attempted to introduce the subject of Chinese pulses to a western audience. Strictly judging from the medical content of his work, his recitation of the various Chinese pulses is commendable as a quick summary of the basic information on the subject. Although it is not a comprehensive study of pulses that could be used to guide clinical treatment, it provides a glimpse into the vast and complex subject through western eyes.This version of his article had been skillfully edited to remove Arlington's obvious biases against Chinese medicine and the Chinese culture. By doing so we are left with a text that conveys a basic understanding of pulses that allows the lay person to gain an understanding of this complex field of Traditional Chinese Medicine.Arlington wrote his original text at a time when doctors in the west still believed that syphilis was due to the degeneration of the thyroid gland and not -as we know today- a Treponema pallidum infection. The author's overconfidence in the superiority of his erroneous beliefs over the Chinese theories is a timely reminder that in science there are no absolutes. With Chinese medicine becoming massively popular worldwide and with the advancements of conventional medicine, some of the author's rudest comments are now quite embarrassing and fortunately are removed from this edition. In regards to the 21st century, it's very disconcerting that Arlington's terms such as "quackery" used in the text to describe Chinese medicine could also very well portray many of the early 20th century western practices. It's also very disturbing that the same term still persists in current literature although clinical evidence to the contrary has become abundant. The editing and publication of this text by Mark Linden O'Meara comes at a time when it's important to look back and re-examine the relentless criticism that Chinese medicine had to face even before Nixon's historic trip to China, and also ascertain that modern arguments are often no better than Arlington's imperialist attempts to vilification.

High-Risk Localized and Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer
Around 20%-30% of nonmetastatic prostate cancer patients have high-risk localized disease. The best treatment for high-risk localized disease is still unclear, and the reliability of the definition of "high-risk" may need to be validated first. Although recent advances in radiotherapy for prostate cancer have yielded excellent long-term results, even in high-risk localized disease, there are no studies directly comparing it with local treatment options, such as prostatectomy. To address current challenges in high-risk localized and locally advanced prostate cancer, 12 original and 3 review articles covering aspects from basic research to clinical trials are published in this Special Issue.
Physic
A detailed guide to understanding what is needed to effectively treat patients with herbal medicine Drawing on decades of experience, Julian Barker provides a comprehensive approach to the practice of herbalism, encompassing many of the problems a herbalist may encounter and offering advice on how they can help. Placing natural science at the forefront of its discussion, the initial section of Physic takes a wide-lens approach to exploring human biology, discussing the inner physiology of the human body, through concepts such as energy, movement, cycles and temperament. It also presents Barker's concept of poise, which is the human ability to maintain an adaptive ratio. The book moves on, in part two, to consider the actual practice of herbalism, discussing important aspects of the interaction between herbalist and patient. Physic culminates in a discussion surrounding the influence of plants upon people, including an extensive Materia Medica. Physic provides a wealth of information regarding the needs of both the patient, and the practitioner who looks after them, solidifying it as a foundational textbook for students and practitioners of herbal medicine for years to come.
The Medical Key to the Doctrine of the Chinese on Pulses
The book that you're holding in your hands is a new translation for Boym's "Clavis Medica ad Chinarum doctrinam de pulsibus" (The Medical Key to the Chinese doctrines of the pulse). This translation holds many secrets.Boym's work has been much distorted and sadly only printed in fragments. Yet, even after so many centuries there has never been a complete attempt to put together all the fragments and conclusively attach each piece of the puzzle to a specific Chinese text. The modern Chinese Medicine reader or those involved in the fields of Humanities, Medical Anthropology or Sinology will greatly benefit from such an investigation and gain much perspective about Boym's impact within their own respective fields. "A vital step towards finally and decisively understanding and appreciating Boym's work in context that has been missing from bibliography until now" - Dr. Ioannis Solos Ph. D, Doctor of Medicine, Chinese Medical Author, Sinologist
Drug Interactions and Prescription Profiles in Elderly Patients
In this book, we delve into a thorough study of prescriptions and medication consumption profiles in this very vulnerable and important population. The health of the elderly is a complex and challenging issue, especially when it comes to managing multiple health conditions. They often require ongoing pharmacological treatments and may use multiple medications at the same time. Drug interactions pose a significant challenge in contemporary clinical practice. With the frequent use of multiple medications by patients, the chances of interactions occurring that may affect efficacy, safety, and therapeutic outcome increase. These interactions can occur in a variety of ways, involving changes in drug absorption, metabolism, distribution, or elimination. In addition, individual patient characteristics, such as age, health conditions, and concomitant medication use, can influence the potential for drug interactions.
Man's Supreme Inheritance
F.M. Alexander (1869-1955) was an Australian actor who began to experience chronic laryngitis whenever he performed. When his doctors could not help him, Alexander discovered a solution on his own. He had not been aware that excess tension in his neck and body were causing his problems, and began to find new ways to speak and move with greater ease.His health improved to such an extent that his friends and several of the doctors he had consulted earlier persuaded him to teach others what he had learned. Over a career span of more than fifty years, he refined his method of instruction. After teaching for over 35 years, he began to train teachers of what has now become known as the Alexander Technique.Written by the founder of the Alexander Technique, this book lays down some of the foundation principles in regards to posture, body use, 'conscious guidance' of movement, habit, and the Alexander Technique in general. Man's Supreme Inheritance sets the scene for how the Alexander Technique started and where it currently sits today.

Natural Thyroid Toolkit
This is a Medical Self-Help Book on Hashimoto's, Graves, ' Iodine, Levothyroxine, and Natural Desiccated Thyroid. The book compares natural desiccated thyroid to levothyroxine for treatment for hypothyroidism. There is extensive discussion of the diagnosis and treatment of Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' disease, autonomous nodules, multinodular goiter, and other thyroid disorders using conventional and alternative methods. Medical Imaging, Blood Testing, Iodine supplementation and Adrenal Fatigue are also covered. he Silent Epidemic and Unsuspected illnessDepending on which source you read, between 10-30 percent of the population has some kind of thyroid disorder, and many of these suffer needlessly. This state of affairs has been expressed as a silent epidemic or an unsuspected illness. In 1891, thyroid extract was first used to treat thyroid patients, representing one of the first medications in the history of western medicine. Since these early days, the basic science of thyroid has made a quantum leap. Although publicly available in the medical literature, current breakthroughs in thyroid science are largely ignored by mainstream medicine. The practice of thyroid endocrinology remains outdated, hampered by dogmatic reliance on older tests and treatments.The goal of this this book, Natural Thyroid Toolkit, is to bring state of the art thyroid diagnosis and treatment into the public realm. The reader is provided with a unique blend of information from both clinical experience and from the thyroid medical literature. This book includes copious references to in vitro and in vivo basic science studies as well as the more formal clinical trials in human populations. This book represents 20 years of prescribing natural desiccated thyroid in the outpatient clinical setting.Errors in Modern Thyroid EndocrinologyThis book discusses many of the errors in modern thyroid endocrinology. One of the errors of modern endocrinology is the dogmatic reliance on the TSH laboratory test, a classic example of the misapplication of a laboratory test. The second error is sole reliance on levothyroxine (T4-monotherapy) in the treatment of hypothyroidism. Combination therapy with natural desiccated thyroid containing both T3 and T4 is a superior and more robust treatment. There are more errors: Treating thyroid hormone levels while ignoring the autoimmune component of thyroid disease. Failing to treat euthyroid Hashimoto's patients promptly with thyroid medication. Failing to treat pregnant women with thyroid medication when anti-thyroid antibodies are elevated. Failing to test for and treat with iodine because of "Medical Iodophobia," the irrational fear of using iodine. Another error is ignoring the beneficial effects of selenium, magnesium, vitamin D3, and a gluten-free diet for autoimmune thyroid disease. My sincere thanks and gratitude goes to Dr. David Brownstein for writing the foreword for this book.

Research of Pathogenesis and Novel Therapeutics in Arthritis 3.0
Arthritis has a high prevalence globally and includes over 100 types; the most common types are rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and inflammatory arthritis. All types of arthritis share common features, including monocyte infiltration, inflammation, synovial swelling, pannus formation, stiffness in the joints, and articular cartilage destruction. The exact etiology of arthritis remains unclear, and no cure exists as of yet. Anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs and corticosteroids) are commonly used for the treatment of arthritis. However, these drugs are associated with significant side effects, such as gastric bleeding and an increased risk of a heart attack and other cardiovascular problems. Therefore, it is crucial that we continue to research the pathogenesis of arthritis and novel modes of therapy. This reprint summarizes and discusses the themes of 19 articles published in our Special Issue "Research of Pathogenesis and Novel Therapeutics in Arthritis 3.0". The reprint details important novel research discoveries that contribute to our current understanding of arthritis.

The effect of stimulant substances on the central nervous system
Drug use is a real public health problem. Worldwide, it is estimated that more than 77 million people use cannabis, while the use of LSD is generally low and has been stable for several years. Drugs generally act on the reward system, leading to dependence. Their use causes numerous psychological and somatic problems. This book aims to show the effects of two psychoactive substances: cannabis, with THC as its active ingredient, which acts on the reward circuit, leading to dependence, and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), a hallucinogenic chemical that also acts on the reward circuit.

Personalized Medicine in Ophthalmic Diseases
This book focuses on personalized medicine in ophthalmic diseases, their challenges and opportunities, which often involves methods to achieve personalized diagnosis and treatment of ophthalmic diseases. Personalized medicine is a broadly used term to encompass approaches used to tailor healthcare to the needs of individual patients. It has been early adopted in ophthalmology and is mainly achieved through disease stratification and individualization. Therefore, diagnostic techniques that can realize comprehensive individual assessment are very important. Previous studies have put forward techniques such as next-generation sequencing and translational research. Gene therapy-based treatment trials have been presented for ophthalmic diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration. Recently, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence and interdisciplinary collaboration, concepts such as machine learning and wearable devices have been frequently discussed in ophthalmic research. There might be new promising methods to realize personalized ophthalmology.
Coronary Syndrome
This book focuses on recent advances in the clinical care of patients with acute and chronic coronary syndromes.

HPV-Vaccines
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is closely linked with the pathogenesis of cervical cancer and many other cancers. HPV vaccines are vaccines that prevent infection from certain types of human papillomavirus. However, despite the various prevention strategies and treatments, such as HPV screening, prophylactic HPV vaccines, surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, the disease burden remains heavy worldwide. Currently, three types of prophylactic vaccines-quadrivalent HPV vaccines, bivalent HPV vaccines, and a new nonavalent HPV vaccine-are commercially available. Although these vaccines protect against 90% of HPV infections, their capacity to eliminate pre-existing infections is limited.In this Topical Collection, we aim to systematically cover the progress, current status, and future prospects of various vaccines being developed for the prevention and treatment of HPV-associated lesions and cancers.
Application of Botulinum Neurotoxin in Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunctions
Evidence has shown that botulinum toxin A has advantages in lower urinary tract dysfunctions (LUTDs), especially in interstitial cystitis, urethral sphincter dysfunction, and inflammatory bladder disorders which currently cannot be adequately treated with oral pharmacological medications. This Special Issue has collected original or review articles that focus on the novel applications of botulinum toxin A in LUTDs. The research has been updated and contains novel therapeutic applications of botulinum toxin for bladder or urethral dysfunctions. This Special Issue of Toxins provides current knowledge surrounding the status of botulinum toxin in functional urology and LUTDs.
