    Physiology of Human Female Lactation (2021)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Human physiology. ; Reproduction. ; Physiology. ; Anatomy. ; Cytology. ; Human Physiology. ; Reproductive Physiology. ; Anatomy. ; Cell Biology.
    Description / Table of Contents: Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Origin and development of the breast -- Chapter 3: Structure of the lactating breast -- Chapter 4: Breast function during the initial period of lactation (lactogenesis I and II) -- Chapter 5: The period of established lactation (lactogenesis III).
    Abstract: This comprehensive Monograph examines all peripheral and central mechanisms of regulating the secretion of milk from the lactating breast. The author reviews the complete female breast development, starting with the early childhood, up to pregnancy and lactation. Structural and ultrastructural data on the alveolar-ductal system, together with details of breast innervation, are used to investigate the physiological process of lactation. Readers will appreciate the special focus on reflexes, both in the child and the mother, that help to regulate maternal milk production and secretion. Following this, the author sheds a light on the composition and dynamics of milk components during the different periods of lactation. The final section of this volume focusses on practical aspects of modern breastfeeding, like the use of breast pumps or galactogogues, to influence the productivity of milk production. These fundamental principles and structural details will be particularly useful for physiologists and clinicians working in gynecology and pediatrics.

    Abstract: This book discusses unique ion channels and transporters that are located within epithelial tissues of various organs including the kidney, intestine, pancreas and respiratory tract. The authors will show, that each of these channels and transporters play crucial roles in transepithelial ion and fluid transport across epithelia and their responsibility in maintaining homeostasis. The reader gains an understanding of the fundamentals of epithelial ion transport, in terms of function, modelling, regulation, trafficking, structure and pharmacology. This is the third of three volumes highlighting the importance of epithelial ion channels and transporters in basic physiology and pathophysiology of human diseases. The focus of this volume lies with different ion channel and transporter families. Additionally, this volume benefits from pharmaceutical contributors and their insights into recent pre-clinical drug discovery efforts and results from clinical trials. Overall, these chapters offer a more thorough coverage of individual epithelial ion channels and transporters from the 1st Edition, along with eleven new chapters. That makes Volume 3 an insightful contribution for physiology students, scientists and clinicians.

    Understanding Physiology with Ultrasound (2022)
    New York, NY :Springer US :
    Details
    Keywords: Human physiology. ; Medical education. ; Premedical education. ; Ultrasonics. ; Human Physiology. ; Medical Education. ; Premedical Education. ; Ultrasonics.
    Description / Table of Contents: Chapter 1: Using Ultrasound to Teach Physiology – An Introduction -- Chapter 2: The Basics of Ultrasound Physics -- Chapter 3: Ultrasound of the Vascular System -- Chapter 4: Ultrasound of the Heart -- Chapter 5: Ultrasound of the Respiratory System -- Chapter 6: Ultrasound of the Gastrointestinal System -- Chapter 7: Ultrasound of the Urinary System -- Chapter 8: Ultrasound of the Musculoskeletal System -- Chapter 9: Ultrasound of the Endocrine System -- Chapter 10: Ultrasound of the Reproductive System -- Chapter 11: Ultrasound of the Nervous System -- Chapter 12: Introducing Ultrasound into a Physiology Course from A to Z.
    Abstract: This book will be of interest to anyone who wants to use ultrasound to understand human physiology both in the clinical setting and the classroom. Tremendous advances in ultrasound technology have resulted in portable ultrasound systems that are easy to use, produce excellent images, and are affordable with quality hand-held and laptop-sized systems costing between $2K and $20K. These systems are now being used at the patient bedside or point of care by almost all medical and surgical specialities from primary care to orthopaedic surgery. These portable systems, especially the hand-held devices, are now being called the stethoscopes of the 21st century and will likely be used by many that are presently using stethoscopes including physicians, nurses, physician assistants, medics and other health professionals. Ultrasound began to be used in medical student education in the 1990s and is steadily becoming a common teaching tool for courses like anatomy and physiology. It is a visual, highly interactive learning tool that bridges the basic and clinical sciences and allows the learner to observe physiology principles in a living model. Ultrasound is also being used to teach other health professions students as well as undergraduate college students and high school students. Despite this interest there are no books available that provide an introduction to ultrasound and how it can be used to enhance the teaching of physiology. This e-book will do just that as well as offer “How to Scan” videos with example laboratory exercises to further engage learners.

    Atlas of Human Sperm Ultrastructural Morphology (2020)
    Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :
    Details
    Keywords: Human physiology. ; Urology. ; Biophysics. ; Human Physiology. ; Urology. ; Bioanalysis and Bioimaging.
    Description / Table of Contents: Introduction of human sperm ultrastructural morphology -- Ultrastructural morphology of human sperm head -- Ultrastructural morphology of human sperm neck -- Ultrastructural morphology of human sperm middle piece -- Ultrastructural morphology of human sperm principal piece -- Ultrastructural morphology of human sperm terminal piece -- Ultrastructural morphological measurement of human sperm -- Artefacts of human sperm ultrastructural morphology -- Phenomena related to inadequate preparation of human sperm.
    Abstract: This atlas provides ultrastructural morphological images of human spermatozoa. Sperm morphology plays an essential role in sperm-oocyte interactions and early embryonic development, and human sperm ultrastructural morphology offers a valuable reference tool for assessing certain etiologies of male infertility and reproductive failure. However, the ultrastructural morphology of human sperm has not been systematically evaluated or thoroughly described in the literature. Using 470 original and unpublished images, the book shows various ultrastructural morphological phenotypes; defects of the sperm head, neck, middle piece, principal piece, and terminal piece; as well as artifacts of sperm ultrastructural morphology and phenomena related to inadequate preparation, demonstrating several sperm phenotypes and surface structural appearances for the first time. As such, it helps researchers and practitioners in andrology, reproductive medicine, and reproductive pathology gain a better understanding of human sperm ultrastructural morphology.

    Abstract: According to the World Health Organization, the epidemic of global obesity has nearly tripled since 1975. In 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults were overweight, over 650 million of which were obese. Being overweight and obese has been linked to a number of non-communicable, chronic diseases. Pathophysiology of Obesity-Induced Health Complications is a compilation of review articles dedicated to describe co-morbidities associated with obesity. The wide range that is covered is of significant interest to basic research scientists, clinicians and graduate students who are engaged in studying obesity-induced health complications. Furthermore, this book highlights the potential of novel approaches for the prevention and treatment of obesity and its related illnesses. Nineteen articles in this book are organized in four sections that are designed to provide an overview of obesity-induced health complications. The first section serves as an introductory section on the prevalence, causes, consequences, treatments and preventive approaches for obesity. Section two covers the metabolic disturbances and inflammation due to obesity. The third section is focused on neurological and visceral complications as a consequence of obesity. The final section covers strategies for the prevention of obesity-induced complications. The book illustrates that obesity can result in a diverse range of pathophysiological conditions that adversely affect health.
