New treatment perspectives in autism spectrum disorders
(2015)
Developing novel and more effective treatments that improve quality of life for individuals with autism spectrum disorders is urgently needed. To date a wide range of behavioral interventions have been shown to be safe and ...
New therapeutic targets for human placental angiogenesis diseases
(2015)
A large number of publications have described impaired angiogenesis and vasculogenesis present in the feto-placental circulation after pregnancy diseases such as pre-eclamptic pregnancies, gestational diabetes, and ...
New Translational Insights on Metabolic Syndrome: Obesity, Hypertension, Diabetes and Beyond
(2016)
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) can be considered as a clustering of several risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, insulin resistance and dyslipidemia, which could lead to the development of diabetes and cardiovascular ...
New Therapies and Immunological Findings in Melanoma and Other Skin Cancers
(2019)
New therapies are currently being developed in the field of skin cancer. In particular, advances in melanoma now represent the frontline of cancer immunotherapy, as immunological findings in the disease have led to the ...
Non-Ordinary Mental Expressions
(2015)
So-called altered states of consciousness (ASC) are an intriguing, still under-researched topic, with profound neuropsychological and epistemological implications. In the last few decades there has been increasing ...
Non-Polysaccharide Plant Polymeric Materials
(2016)
Plants are the most important renewable source of feedstock for polymeric materials. They are a resource of monomers and macromolecules after the appropriate chemical treatment. By analogy with the petrochemistry industry, ...
Non-Pharmacological Interventions for Schizophrenia: How Much Can Be Achieved and How?
(2017)
The introduction of antipsychotic agents in the 1950’s substantially improved the treatment of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. However, clinical and functional outcomes are still far less than optimal for ...
Optogenetic Tools in the Molecular Spotlight
(2016)
The rise of optogenetics as a standard technique to non-invasively probe and monitor biological function created an immense interest in the molecular function of photosensory proteins. These photoreceptors are usually ...
Personality and Cognition in Economic Decision Making
(2017)
Psychologists studying cognitive processes and personality have increasingly benefited from the wealth of theory, methodology, and decision making paradigms used in economics and game theory. Similarly, for the economists, ...
Paleoecology of Easter Island: Natural and Anthropogenic Drivers of Ecological Change
(2018)
After more than three decades of paleoecological research, the potential role of climatic and anthropogenic drivers on Easter Island's ecological and cultural change is still under discussion. This eBook aims to provide ...
Parasites in the Tropic - A New Paradigm Shift
(2017)
The highlight of this eBook is to bring new insights into parasites in the tropic. To achieve that, much has been discussed about risk assessment, infection rates, disease burden, hormones and mechanism of immune response, ...
Parasite Infections: From Experimental Models to Natural Systems
(2018)
Eukaryotic parasites (including parasitic protozoans, worms and arthropods) are more complex and heterogeneous organisms than pathogenic bacteria and viruses. This notion implies different evolutionary strategies of host ...
Phenotypic screening in the 21st century
(2015)
In the genomic era of 1990s-2000s, pharmaceutical research moved to target-based drug discovery which enabled development of a number of small molecule drugs against a wide range of diseases. In many cases however, drugs ...
Phenomics
(2018)
"Phenomics" is an emerging area of research whose aspiration is the systematic measurement of the physical, physiological and biochemical traits (the phenome) belonging to a given individual or collection of individuals. ...
New Approaches to the Pathogenesis of Sudden Intrauterine Unexplained Death and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
(2017)
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the leading cause of death among infants in the first year of age. The more known definition of SIDS is the sudden unexpected death of an infant less than 1 year of age, with onset ...
New Insights into Microbial Ecology through Subtle Nucleotide Variation
(2016)
The 16S ribosomal RNA gene commonly serves as a molecular marker for investigating microbial community composition and structure. Vast amounts of 16S rRNA amplicon data generated from environmental samples thanks to the ...
New Insights on Basic and Clinical Aspects of EEG and MEG Connectome
(2018)
Recent advances in the neuroimaging field areas allow us to visualize the aggregate of neural connections at the macroscopic level within the brain, the so-called “connectome”. In order to promote the development of the ...
Non-invasive Brain Stimulation in Neurology and Psychiatry
(2017)
Brain stimulation techniques, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS), modify brain function through interaction with multiple neurotransmitters and networks. The ...
