In "The Influence of LIPUS and SMF on Cancer Cell Inhibition," Somoshree Gupta explores the use of low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) and static magnetic field (SMF) as potential treatments for cancer. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the efficacy of LIPUS and SMF in inhibiting cancer cell growth and explores the mechanisms behind their anti-cancer effects.Gupta begins by introducing the reader to the importance of finding effective and non-invasive treatments for cancer. She then delves into the specific case of LIPUS and SMF, presenting the results of in vitro and in vivo studies that demonstrate the anti-cancer effects of these modalities. Gupta explains how LIPUS and SMF can induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancer cells, inhibit angiogenesis (the growth of blood vessels that feed tumors), and enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.The book also covers the potential clinical applications of LIPUS and SMF in cancer treatment, including their use in combination with other therapies and their potential as standalone treatments. Gupta discusses the safety profile of these modalities and their potential for use in personalized medicine approaches.Overall, "The Influence of LIPUS and SMF on Cancer Cell Inhibition" provides a valuable contribution to the growing body of research on non-invasive cancer treatments. It will be of interest to researchers and professionals in the fields of oncology, medical physics, and biomedical engineering, as well as anyone with a general interest in the latest developments in cancer research.

A book for men and women from middle age to advanced years who have suddenly and unexpectedly become confronted with the huge effects that the male prostate can have on the body. It is a tale of what can happen to both men and women when the prostate transforms over time as the body changes, free of any of the minor or major taboos surrounding those involved.The book presents both a subjective and an objective account, from a female and a male perspective, of what the prostate is and of the physical, psychological and social effects that changes to the prostate can bring as one ages or reaches old age. The latest medical, psychotherapeutic and social measures available to help men with prostate issues and their partners are discussed. It also addresses the therapeutic taboos that have previously prevented us from attempting a systemic approach to the physical, psychological and social transformation that men and women undergo when they reach middle age and beyond.

The story of my family's battle with cancer was at one time a heavy burden I carried. My mother, grandmother, and aunt all fell victim to this dreadful disease called cancer. Breast and ovarian cancer to be exact and they leave behind a legacy of uncertainty. According to science, I am at a higher risk of facing the same fate. The numbers don't lie, painting a grim picture of my future. Yet, I refuse to let statistics define my destiny. Instead, I cling to hope and faith, believing in something greater than the odds stacked against me. I find comfort in the words of Jeremiah 29:11, trusting in God's plan for my life and holding onto the promise of a brighter tomorrow.I turn to God as my source of healing and strength. I know that true healing can only come from Him.

Genetics and Evolution of Infectious Diseases, Second Edition, discusses the constantly evolving field of infectious diseases and their continued impact on the health of populations, especially in resource-limited areas of the world. Students in public health, biomedical professionals, clinicians, public health practitioners, and decisions-makers will find valuable information in this book that is relevant to the control and prevention of neglected and emerging worldwide diseases that are a major cause of global morbidity, disability, and mortality. Although substantial gains have been made in public health interventions for the treatment, prevention, and control of infectious diseases during the last century, in recent decades the world has witnessed a worldwide human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pandemic, increasing antimicrobial resistance, and the emergence of many new bacterial, fungal, parasitic, and viral pathogens. The economic, social, and political burden of infectious diseases is most evident in developing countries which must confront the dual burden of death and disability due to infectious and chronic illnesses. Takes an integrated approach to infectious diseases Includes contributions from leading authorities Provides the latest developments in the field of infectious disease

The purpose of this book is to propose a new strategy to heal human cancer completely with two entirely new drug compounds exploiting cancer¿s Warburg effect characterized by a defective mitochondrial aerobic respiration, substituted for by cytosolic aerobic fermentation/glycolysis of glucose into L-(+)-lactic acid. The two essentially new drugs P(op)T(est)162 and PT167 were discovered and developed by Andreas J. Kesel and internationally patented by PopTest Oncology LLC/Palisades Therapeutics. The in vitro antineoplastic highly efficacious drug PT167 represents a covalent combination of PT162 and PT166. The intermediate drug PT166 is an entirely new colchic(in)oid derivative synthesized from colchicine. PT166¿s structure was determined by X-ray crystallography. PT162 and PT167 were active in vitro versus 60 cancer cell lines of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Developmental Therapeutics Program (DTP) 60-cancer cell testing. PT162 and PT167 both not only stop the growth of cancer cells to ±0% (cancerostatic effect), but completely kill all 60 cancer cells to a level of ¿100% (tumoricidal effect). PT162 and PT167 induce mitochondrial apoptosis (under cytochrome c release) in all cancer cells tested by (re)activating (in most cancers impaired) p53 function which results in a decrease of cancer¿s dysregulated cyclin D1 and an induction of the cell cycle-halting cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21Waf1/p21Cip1.It was found that compound 1 (PT162, NSC 796018), a new compound never synthesized before [according to Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS®) SciFinder® search], induced apoptosis in all cell lines of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Developmental Therapeutics Program (DTP) 60-cancer cell 5-dose testing, excluding leukemia cell lines, in the micromolar range of growth inhibition 50% (GI50). The author decided to merge compound 1 (PT162, NSC 796018) with the colchic(in)oid compound 2 (PT166, NSC 750423) which showed submicromolar GI50 in the NCI DTP 60-cancer cell 5-dose testing, but did not induce cancer cell apoptosis. Compound 2 (PT166, NSC 750423) was synthesized from colchicine and thiosemicarbazide in an one-step procedure and represents a new compound never synthesized before [according to Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS®) SciFinder® search] just as compound 1 (PT162, NSC 796018). Compound 1 (PT162, NSC 796018) reacted with compound 2 (PT166, NSC 750423) under impact of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to give compound 3. Compound 3 (PT167, NSC 799315), a new compound never synthesized before [according to Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS®) SciFinder® search], showed submicromolar GI50 in the NCI DTP 60-cancer cell 5-dose testing constantly in most cell lines including leukemia cells. Importantly, compound 3 (PT167, NSC 799315) was able to induce apoptosis in all investigated cancer cells, including leukemia cell lines, with a Mean of Inhibition Data (MID) for total growth inhibition (TGI, growth inhibition 100%) of 4.57 µM, and a MID for lethal concentration 50% (LC50) of 15.85 µM. The author reports here the chemistry and NCI DTP 60-cancer cell 5-dose testing data for compound 1 (PT162, NSC 796018), compound 2 (PT166, NSC 750423) and compound 3 (PT167, NSC 799315), and demonstrates the apoptotic release of cytochrome c into the cytosol and activation of effector caspases induced by compounds 1 and 3. The author proposes that compound 1 and compound 3 induce apoptosis according to the Warburg hypothesis of pre-damaged respiration as a hallmark of cancer by exploiting the defect in mitochondrial cardiolipin¿cytochrome c association in cancer cells.

Years ago, a wise man shared with me a story about making a difference.He told me about a big storm and abnormally warm currents that swept along the Florida coastline. Thousands and thousands of starfish washed up on the shore and were dying on the sand. When the storm had calmed and the sun came out the following day, a boy was walking along the shore, picking up starfish and throwing them back into the ocean, giving the starfish a chance at life again. A man walking along the beach noticed the boy and asked, "Why are you throwing those starfish back into the ocean? There are too many; it won't make any difference." The boy looked at the man, reached to pick up a starfish and threw it back into the ocean. The boy said, "Made a difference to that one." Adapted from "The Star Thrower" by Loren Eiseley, in The Unexpected Universe, 1969. While I was enduring my chemotherapy and radiation treatments, I met many other people who were experiencing the same treatments that I was going through. Many of them were driving a lot farther than I was. Many of them could not afford to stay the night in a hotel. One woman I met, Maria, was driving daily from Moreno Valley, some 200 miles one way in her 1991 Toyota Camry. She could barely afford gas to get her there and back every day.The proceeds of this book will be used to help others going through cancer treatments. When I can give money to people like Maria, that will make a huge difference. If I were to give the proceeds of this book to a cancer organization, the proceeds would be diluted over so many people in need that the money couldn't possibly help anyone specifically.So, the proceeds of this book will be used to make a difference in individual cancer patients' lives. I will seek the guidance of the doctors and the staff who helped me survive to recommend people who could most use the help to "make a difference in that one's life."

Modernizing Global Health Security to Prevent, Detect, and Respond explores‿through thoughtful, thorough, and diverse scientific review and analyses‿factors that have led to recent public health emergencies and offers a vision for a better protected global environment. The authors consider the history of global health security, governance, and legal structures with an eye toward novel approaches for the present and future. The book presents a vision for a more protected and safer global public health future (with the actions needed to achieve it) to prevent, detect, and respond to (re)emerging threats. Its aim is to chart a way forward with the understanding that future pandemics must and can be prevented. Major topics examined from a public health perspective include global health security; the growing concept of One Health; epidemic and pandemic prevention, detection, and response; reviews of past (e.g., Ebola, MERS-CoV, Zika, and COVID-19) public health emergencies of international concern; roles of information and communication technology; humanmade public health threats; and legal and ethical issues (e.g., viral sovereignty, trust, and transparency). Modernizing Global Health Security to Prevent, Detect, and Respond provides the academic substance and quality for researchers and practitioners to deeply understand the why of health emergencies, and most importantly‿what we can and should do now to prepare.
