Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP)
Plasma medicine is an innovative research field combining plasma physics, life science, and clinical medicine. It is mainly focused on the application cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) in therapeutic settings. Based on its ability to inactivate microorganisms but also to stimulate tissue regeneration, current medical applications are focused on the treatment of wounds and skin diseases. Since CAP is also able to inactivate cancer cells, its use in cancer therapy is expected to be the next field of clinical plasma application. Other promising applications are expected in oral medicine and ophthalmology
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Illness and Disability
Severe pain, debilitating fatigue, sleep disruption, severe gastrointestinal distress – these hallmarks of chronic illness complicate treatment as surely as they disrupt patients’ lives, in no small part because of the overlap between biological pathology and resulting psychological distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Illness and Disability cuts across formal diagnostic categories to apply proven therapeutic techniques to potentially devastating conditions, from first assessment to end of treatment. Four extended clinical case examples of patients with chronic fatigue, rheumatoid arthritis, inoperable cancer, and Crohn’s disease are used throughout the book to demonstrate how cognitive-behavioral interventions can be used to effectively address ongoing medical stressors and their attendant depression, anxiety, and quality-of-life concerns. At the same time, they highlight specific patient and therapist challenges commonly associated with chronic conditions.
Co-enzyme Q10
Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin like substance that has been found in both microorganisms and plants as well as in animals and humans. In this research we will talk about CoenzymeQ10, it’s biochemical functions and roles in health and diseases such as Parkinson, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, male fertility, cancers , covid19 and immune functions. Some coQ10 determination methods in foods will be discussed. At the last can we use it as asupplement? Does it have an adverse effects and contraindications? and what are the factors that affect on it’s plasma concentrations ? .
Marine Natural Products
The search for marine natural products is well-known for colorful pictures of exotic creatures which, after having been found to contain the cure for cancer, disappear into the depths, never to be seen again, or for accounts of scuba-diving chemists in waters alive with poisonous sea snakes - in short, the sort of sensational stuff that even nonchemists find interesting. That sort of thing will not be found in this book.
Marine bioactive molecules for biomedical and pharmacotherapeutic application
Explores cutting-edge research on the discovery and application of marine bioactive molecules for biomedical and pharmacotherapeutic purposes.

Liposomes as Drug Carriers
Patients have recently suffered from the side effects of a large number of drugs and from the weak pharmacological effect, due to the biokinetics and the difficulty of delivering the drug to the targeted cells, which negatively affected the therapeutic efficacy, creating an opportunity to discover nanometric carriers to load the active drug substances, so we covered in this research the most famous and widely used nanocarriers which are liposomes. We touched in some detail its composition, types, the relationship of structure to influence, methods of preparation, its delivery mechanism for the drug, and at the end of the research, we attached various applications in the field of therapeutic diagnostics and its role in cosmetics, cancers and many other fields.

Les vérités du cancer : Partager l'information, installer la relation = The truths about cancer : Sharing information, building the relationship
Les médecins et les équipes soignantes perçoivent comme une nouvelle pression la nécessité de transmettre le diagnostic de cancer et de discuter des options thérapeutiques avec un patient qui n’est pas toujours prêt à s y confronter. Bien que l’on puisse saluer le partage de l’information et encourager la transparence, le médecin prend le risque du blocage de dialogue, d’une indifférence, au pire d’un traumatisme. L’idée d’une diminution d’un certain pouvoir médical s’insinue dans le « dispositif » d’annonce qui renvoie la clinique à des apprentissages techniques. Au contraire, certains médecins cherchent à s’inscrire dans un mouvement plus démocratique. Ils constatent que pour le malade, savoir n’est pas choisir, et que dans les cas difficiles, ils restent encore décideurs. Cet ouvrage fait le point sur les changements obtenus par les lois et leurs conséquences sur les pratiques et incite à une réflexion philosophique sur la vérité et les vérités des interlocuteurs de la scène médicale.
Les thérapies ciblées = Targeted therapies
We are at the start of the development of new therapeutic classes, directed against new molecular targets (EGFR, VEGF, IGFR, Rank, etc.) Several diseases such as kidney, colon or breast cancer, GIST, have a natural history now modified thanks to these therapies. This practical book takes stock of the current use of these molecules.
