Integrating Lifestyle Medicine in Cardiovascular Health and Disease Prevention

Integrating Lifestyle Medicine in Cardiovascular Health and Disease Prevention

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States and around the world. Major risk factors for CVD result from poor lifestyle habits and practices but the area of lifestyle medicine has emerged to help clinicians and their patients understand the power of positive lifestyle habits and actions. Written by cardiologist and lifestyle medicine pioneer Dr. James Rippe Integrating Lifestyle Medicine in Cardiovascular Health and Disease Prevention introduces the principles of lifestyle medicine with the practice of cardiology to help lower the risk of heart disease and if already present assist in its treatment. This book provides evidence-based information on both the prevention and treatment of CVD through lifestyle measures such as regular physical activity sound nutrition weight management and avoidance of tobacco products. This information aids physicians and patients to better understand multiple linkages between poor habits and practices employing them with associated behavioral techniques to lessen the likelihood of developing CVD. Features: Summarizes major issues in CVD including heart attack stroke atrial fibrillation high blood pressure lipid abnormalities and obesity. Provides protocols for overcoming a sedentary lifestyle and using lifestyle medicine techniques to optimize brain health. Empowers clinicians with vital information for consultations on the power of lifestyle medicine practices both to treat symptoms if already present or to prevent major components of CVD from developing in the future. Written for practitioners at all levels this user-friendly volume in the Lifestyle Medicine series is valuable to practitioners in general medicine or subspecialty practices including lifestyle medicine and cardiology.

Computational Modeling of Inorganic Nanomaterials

Computational Modeling of Inorganic Nanomaterials

Computational Modeling of Inorganic Nanomaterials provides an accessible unified introduction to a variety of methods for modeling inorganic materials as their dimensions approach the nanoscale. With contributions from a team of international experts the book guides readers on choosing the most appropriate models and methods for studying the structure and properties (such as atomic structure optical absorption and luminescence and electrical and heat transport) of a varied range of inorganic nanomaterial systems. Divided into three sections the book first covers different types of inorganic nanosystems with increasing dimensionality. The second section explains how to computationally describe properties and phenomena associated with inorganic nanomaterials including the modeling of melting and phase transitions crystallization and thermal mechanical optical and excited state properties. The final section highlights a diverse range of important recent case studies of systems where modeling the properties and structures of inorganic nanomaterials is fundamental to their understanding. These case studies illustrate the use of computational techniques to model nanostructures in a range of applications and environments from heterogeneous catalysis to astrochemistry. Largely due to their extremely reduced dimensions inorganic nanomaterials are difficult to characterize accurately in experiments. Computational modeling therefore often provides unrivaled detailed insights to complement and guide experimental research on these small-scale materials. This book shows how computational modeling is critical for understanding inorganic nanomaterials and their future development.

Proton Therapy Physics Second Edition

Proton Therapy Physics Second Edition

Expanding on the highly successful first edition this second edition of Proton Therapy Physics has been completely restructured and updated throughout and includes several new chapters. Suitable for both newcomers in medical physics and more seasoned specialists in radiation oncology this book provides an in-depth overview of the physics of this radiation therapy modality eliminating the need to dig through information scattered across medical physics literature. After tracing the history of proton therapy the book explores the atomic and nuclear physics background necessary for understanding proton interactions with tissue. The text then covers dosimetry including beam delivery shielding aspects computer simulations detector systems and measuring techniques for reference dosimetry. Important for daily operations acceptance testing commissioning quality assurance and monitor unit calibrations are outlined. The book moves on to discussions of treatment planning for single- and multiple-field uniform doses dose calculation concepts and algorithms and precision and uncertainties for nonmoving and moving targets. Imaging for treatment guidance as well as treatment monitoring is outlined. Finally the biological implications of using protons from a physics perspective are discussed. This book is an ideal practical guide for physicians dosimetrists radiation therapists and physicists who already have some experience in radiation oncology. It is also an invaluable reference for graduate students in medical physics programs physicians in their last year of medical school or residency and those considering a career in medical physics. Features: Updated with the latest technologies and methods in the field covering all delivery methods of proton therapy including beam scanning and passive scattering Discusses clinical aspects such as treatment planning and quality assurance Offers insight on the past present and future of proton therapy from a physics perspective | Proton Therapy Physics Second Edition

How to Build a Puppy Into a Healthy Adult Dog

How to Build a Puppy Into a Healthy Adult Dog

Dogs do not demonstrate discomfort or pain in a way that can be easily translated by us humans so we often miss that they are physically struggling. Understanding that making some very simple changes to our homes activities exercise regimes and how we train our puppies will have a massive positive impact on our dogs' lives. Using her world-renowned Galen Myotherapy knowledge and approach Robertson suggests and explains in detail how small profoundly important but easy to implement changes can improve the way we not only look after and develop our puppies but also how maintenance of this easy programme continues your puppy’s journey through into healthy adolescence and maturity. Environment exercise and activity habits have deep ongoing effects and How to Build a Puppy . into a healthy adult dog explores ways in which positive change can be integrated easily into our normal lives. The book culminates into a full programme called the Galen Myotherapy Puppy Physical Development Programme©. Including: A dedicated section on anatomy explaining in a functional way how everything in the body interrelates to form a functional moving structure Practical advice that is made logical and easy to interpret by the use of clear comparative descriptions as well as clear diagrams and pictures showing the movement and biomechanics of dogs Exercises and activities in a practical programme for all situations that can be followed to help build good foundations A full pictorial explanation of why so many 'traditional' exercise routines and activities are in fact incredibly damaging for our dogs This book will help canine professionals better advise their clients but also empower all readers to make their own changes as well as having a better all-round understanding to enable more pertinent questions from their vet breeder or puppy trainer. | How to Build a Puppy Into a Healthy Adult Dog
