 English | 2022 | ISBN: 1685076084, 978-1685076085 | 348 pages | True PDF | 6.03 MB Based on the current statistics of the WHO, almost 10 million people lost their lives due to malignant disorders in 2020, implying that one in every six deaths is due to cancer. In parallel, the global population of cancer survivors is also growing, propelled by advances in early detection, diagnosis and treatment methods, but also by demographic aging. More and more cancer patients today decide to use dietary supplements and herbal products in order to enhance their overall health, delay the progression of disease, augment the outcome of conventional therapies, mitigate diagnosis-related depression and anxiety, and alleviate drug-associated side effects, doing it mostly unbeknownst to their health care providers. Such over-the-counter supplements usually contain diverse flavonoids, such as catechins from green tea extracts, isoflavones from soy products, flavanones from citrus oils or silibinin from milk thistle seeds, just to name a few. A variety of flavonoid-rich products are often consumed concurrently with standard cancer therapies, without anticipating and understanding the potential interactions between plant-derived bioactive flavonoids and clinically used anticancer drugs. In this book, diverse effects of these polyphenolic phytochemicals on hormonal and targeted biological cancer therapies are covered, being a reasoned follow-up to the two previous books Plant Flavonoids Affect Cancer Chemotherapeutic Efficacy: A Handbook for Doctors and Patients (2019) and Dietary Flavonoids Interfere with Cancer Radiotherapy (2019). Besides naturally occurring flavonoids, the impact of flavonoid-rich plant extracts as well as semisynthetic derivatives on anticancer activities of co-administered hormonal and targeted drugs are thoroughly discussed, and some indicative recommendations to patients undergoing hormonal cancer therapies or targeted biological cancer therapies are provided.

 English | 2022 | ISBN: 1685077595, 978-1685077594 | 402 pages | True PDF | 20.3 MB Heart failure is an increasingly prevalent syndrome worldwide with a high impact on quality of life and survival. Although there have been great advances in the treatment of this condition that effectively increase survival, mortality remains unacceptably high, exceeding 40% at 5 years, which is worse than a large number of cancers. Furthermore, patients with advanced heart failure are a particular subgroup with higher hospitalizations and mortality, with a short-term survival that can be as low as 50% in the case of cardiogenic shock. Heart transplantation remains the gold standard treatment for these patients when other pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions have failed, with a 1-year survival of approximately 90%. However, not all patients are suitable candidates for this procedure, and knowing the indications as well as the contraindications for heart transplantation is essential for appropriate patient selection. Heart Transplantation: Indications, Postoperative Management and Long-Term Outcomes is a highly illustrated, didactic book that comprehensively describes the pretransplant assessment of the advanced heart failure patient, the perioperative management of heart transplantation, and the early and late complications of the heart transplant recipient. It also covers special situations in heart transplantation such as Chagas cardiomyopathy, congenital heart disease, hypertrophic/restrictive cardiomyopathy and pediatric heart transplantation. This book is intended for cardiology fellows in training, surgeons, cardiologists, internists, and other health professionals involved in the care of heart transplant patients.

Because our modern western culture is a particularly visual one, we can overlook the significance of the auditory which was so central to the Greeks. The fifteen chapters of this edited volume explore "hearing" as being philosophically significant across numerous texts and figures in ancient Greek philosophy.
