Abstract: This book illustrates the role of Mediterranean diet in connection with well-being and particularly its impact on health and elderly care, as well as on the mechanisms of aging. Aging is a natural process of human life. The knowledge that a healthy dietary regimen like the Mediterranean diet can effectively prevent or delay many diseases typically affecting aging people may help to better manage the aging process. From this point of view, knowledge of the numerous benefits of the Mediterranean-style diet may effectively promote better management of the burden of elderly care. As early as the 1950s, Ancel Keys pointed out the effectiveness of the Mediterranean diet in helping to control, and possibly avoid, myocardial infarction and/or cholesterol metabolism. Quite soon after the first studies were published, it became clear that the Mediterranean diet was beneficial not only in connection with cardiovascular disease but also many other diseases, from diabetes to hypertension, from cancer and thrombosis to neurodegenerative diseases, including dementia. Examining those benefits in detail, this book offers a valuable educational tool for young professionals and caregivers, as well as for students and trainees in Geriatrics and Nutrition.

Contents: 1. The Historical Origins and Composition of Mediterranean Diet -- 2. Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO): History and Chemical Composition -- 3.

Abstract: This book discusses, explains and provides detailed, up-to-date information on physics applied to clinical practice in anesthesiology, with the aid of simple examples from daily life. Almost everything that happens around us, including in the operating room and intensive care units, can be explained by physical laws. An awareness and understanding of relatively simple laws such as Bernoulli's theorem, Hagen-Poiseuille equation and Pascal's principle, to name just a few, offer anesthesiologists and intensivists fascinating insights into why they do what they do. Each of the 16 chapters starts with an everyday phenomenon, explains it with a physical law, and then shows why that law is important in anesthesia practice. Numerous illustrations are included for extra clarity. It is intended for anesthesiologists, intensivists, anesthesia teachers, anesthesia trainees, and medical students.

Contents: Preface -- Part I. Gases, bubbles and surroundings -- Perfect coffee and oxygen cylinders: the ideal gas law -- Boats, balloons, and air bubbles: Archimede's principle -- Air bubbles in the blood sample: better or worse oxygenation? Dalton's law and Fick's law -- Cold, sparkling drinks, and blood gas analysis: Henry's law -- Bubbles, tracheal tube cuffs, and reservoir bags: surface tension and Laplace's law -- Part II. Fluids in motion: masks, tubes, and hemodynamics -- The Venturi mask works like an airplane: Bernoulli's theorem -- From tubes and catheters to the basis of hemodynamics: the Hagen Poiseuille equation -- Part III. Hemodynamic monitoring -- Toothpaste, sea deeps, and invasive pressure monitoring: Stevin's law and Pascal's principle -- Heat, cardiac output, and what is the future: laws of thermodynamics -- Part IV. Forces in action -- Doors, steering wheels, and central venous catheters: the moment of a force (torque) -- Friction, trigonometry, and Newton's laws: all about Trendelenburg position -- Part V. Inhalation anesthesia -- Why a vaporizer is not exactly a vaporizer and why it weighs so much: saturated vapor pressure and heat of vaporization -- Thermal expansion: train tracks, thermostats and, again, vaporizers -- The voice of xenon: origin and propagation of sound -- Part VI. Waves -- Light, air pollution and pulse oximetry: the Beer-Lambert law -- Cerebral oximetry and why the sky is blue: Rayleigh scattering -- Catch me if you can: X-ray, Compton scattering and the inverse square law -- Part VII.

Diffusion MRI allows indirect estimation of the perfusion and cellularity of normal and abnormal tissues and has conventionally been used in the brain in order to evaluate ischemia, tumors, and other conditions. Application in other parts of the body has been hampered by the occurrence of motion and susceptibility artifacts.

Abstract: Diffusion MRI allows indirect estimation of the perfusion and cellularity of normal and abnormal tissues and has conventionally been used in the brain in order to evaluate ischemia, tumors, and other conditions. Application in other parts of the body has been hampered by the occurrence of motion and susceptibility artifacts. However, recent advances in MR technology are overcoming these hurdles, allowing the use of diffusion MRI in organs outside the brain. In this book, the authors present cases drawn from daily clinical practice to illustrate the role of diffusion sequences, along with other morphological and functional MRI information, in the work-up of a variety of frequently encountered oncological and non-oncological diseases. Breast, musculoskeletal, whole-body, and other applications are covered in detail, with careful explanation of the pros and cons of diffusion MRI in each circumstance. Quantification and post-processing are discussed, and advice is provided on how to acquire state of the art images, and avoid artifacts, when using 1.5- and 3-T magnets. Applications likely to emerge in the near future, such as for screening, are also reviewed. The practical approach adopted by the authors, combined with the wealth of high-quality illustrations, ensures that this book will be of great value to practitioners.
