Class 1 Oxidoreductases IX : EC 1.6 - 1.8
Springer Handbook of Enzymes provides data on enzymes sufficiently well characterized. It offers concise and complete descriptions of some 5,000 enzymes and their application areas. Data sheets are arranged in their EC-Number sequence and the volumes themselves are arranged according to enzyme classes. This new, second edition reflects considerable progress in enzymology: many enzymes are newly classified or reclassified. Each entry is correlated with references and one or more source organisms. New datafields are created: application and engineering (for the properties of enzymes where the sequence has been changed). Springer Handbook of Enzymes is an ideal source of information for researchers in biochemistry, biotechnology, organic and analytical chemistry, and food sciences, as well as for medicinal applications.

The depiction of a "core exam" and the modifications used for a variety of patient circumstances are demonstrated using simple visual assessment of the images. Special emphasis on the advantages of CMR relative to other modalities reinforces practical learning objectives, organized so that the reader starts with patient images – as one would in a clinical scenario – and works back to the didactic material.
Cancer et traitement: Domicile ou hôpital : Le choix du patient = Cancer and treatment : Home or hospital : The patient's choice
This book takes stock of the needs, expectations and challenges of caring for a cancer patient at home or in hospital. Indeed, if the number of cancer cases is increasing in Western countries, their management is evolving. The emphasis today is on a more humane announcement of the disease, less aggressive treatments and a better quality of life. Better informed patients often wish to be treated at home. As the survival time lengthens, hospital stays are reduced and chosen. Home care teams will soon be relying on the hospital more easily, thanks to specific communication methods and care networks. Here, all the stakeholders involved in the psycho-oncological approach to the patient discuss the choice of place and means of treatment for patients: from the general practitioner to the psychologist, from the oncologist to the mobile palliative care unit.
Cancer du testicule = Testicular cancer
Testicular cancer has benefited from important therapeutic advances radically transforming its prognosis. Recent protocols have led to the development of treatments that maintain therapeutic efficacy while favoring quality of life and minimizing the sequelae (such as fertility disorders) in these often young men. This book discusses the various technical advances both in the field of diagnosis - with the contribution of modern imaging and anatomopathology - and therapy. The place of chemotherapy as well as that of surgery are largely detailed, thus placing the urologist at the heart of the multidisciplinary team taking care of these patients. Quality of life is also discussed by taking into account the impact of the treatment of these tumors on the fertility of these young patients.

Beyond global food supply chains : Crisis, disruption, regeneration
Through a set of incisive essays, this incredibly timely book shows how much the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed both vulnerabilities and opportunities - for (racial) capitalism and its discontents alike to intervene in food supply chains. A most welcome publication! This book takes the upheaval of the global COVID-19 pandemic as a springboard from which to interrogate a larger set of structural, environmental and political fault lines running through the global food system. In a context in which disruptions to the production, distribution, and consumption of food are figured as exceptions to the smooth, just-in-time efficiencies of global supply chains, these essays reveal the global food system as one that is inherently disruptive of human lives and flourishing, and of relationships between people, places, and environments. The pandemic thus represents a particular, acute moment of disruption, offering a lens on a deeper, longer set of systemic processes, and shining new light on transformational possibilities.

Au-delà de linformation, la prévention : Par l’équipe du département de prévention Épidaure = Prevention goes beyond information : By the Epidaure Prevention department team
The prevention of the most frequent and deadly pathologies (cancers, cardiovascular diseases, accidents) essentially involves modifying risky behavior, a challenge which cannot be resolved by the simple dissemination of information. To be able to modify behavior, it is necessary to take into account, on the one hand, the individuals themselves and what leads them to change their ways of living and, on the other hand, the cultural, social, physical and economic environment. who shapes people and whose modifications are necessary for individual changes. Thus, preventive health actions are effective as long as they strengthen the ability to exercise control over individual and collective health determinants.
