Anti-Ageing Medicine: Myths and Chances – Version PDF
€30.00The 21st century technological development is revolutionizing medicine and health care, bringing new hopes to human suffering by offering cures and treatments which were unthinkable a few decades ago. This is where anti-ageing medicine finds its niche.
Anti-ageing medicine aims at slowing, arresting, and reversing phenomena associated with ageing by merging biotechnological innovation and engineered solutions. Ideally, by means of the newest medical technology, the ‘body machinery’ should be kept fit and at peak performance all life long. Early detection of age-related dysfunction should thus be ‘fixed’ at any age with interventions such as metabolic fine tuning, enhancement, regeneration, restoration or replacement of ‘body parts’ (i.e. organs, skin, bone or muscle). It covers a vast array of domains: from cell therapy to pharmaceutical interventions, from bio-surgery to aesthetic surgery, from human enhancement to fortified food, from smart housing and robots to toxic-free environments.
Anti-ageing medicine holds promises but also significant risks and safety issues which are addressesd in this book. It presents the latest scientific evidence on what works or does not work. It also provides public policy recommendations to ensure the protection of consumers and their rights while encouraging research and development.
This book is intended for academics, health professionals, business persons, consumers and policy-makers interested in the latest evidence and ethical issues about anti-ageing medicine.
A 1000 Noses…. The Science of Smell – Ebook Version
Original price was: €99.00.€30.00Current price is: €30.00.Among the 5 senses we have, the sense of smell or olfaction1 is the least known and the most underrated of all. Yet the science of smell has much more mysteries and realities to reveal than meets the eye and nose…
An increasing body of scientific literature is unveiling new findings about the “olfactive machinery” and about its influence on a spectrum of human areas such as moods, cognition, performance, health, behaviour, all of which can have far reaching consequences on the future of flavour and fragrance.
For diagnosing, treating physical and mental illnesses, enhancing or doping the mood and performance with a range of potential innovative research, products and new markets for the fragrance industry.
This e‐book will give an overview of what we currently know of smell and olfaction: how smell works, what factors influence its perception, what effects smell has on the many areas of human life. Last but not least, it will analyse what implications those findings can have for the fragrance sector in general with a set of recommendations. Along the review, new research methods and measurements were collected to provide elements of novel study designs of olfaction for fragrance, which merge neuroscience with electro‐physiology parameters and psycho‐behavioural science.
Cutting edge science of smell will be addressed with the following perspectives in mind which will be presented in the last part of this e‐book:
- Implication for research and development
- Changes on the technology used to research and test
- Improvement in communication content, both for staff training and publicity
- Impact on reshaping marketing strategies
- Development of new markets (e.g. B2B)
This e‐book is divided in 3 parts:
- the “Anatomy of Smell”, the components and mechanism of the olfactory system and smell processing
- the “Power of Smell”, from the influencing factors to the impact of smell and its regeneration power
- the “Future of Smell and Fragrance”, an analysis of the implications for the private sector
