Aging and human longevity. Volume 1. Edited by O. N. Tkacheva

Mon, 12 May 2025 00:00:00 +0300

The book Aging and Human Longevity edited by O.N. Tkacheva was authored by leading Russian gerontologists and geriatricians. It synthesizes both global and Russian advancements in the study of aging.

The monograph is composed of two volumes, which systematically investigate the phenomenon of aging and human longevity.

Volume 1 focuses on a range of general concepts related to gerontology. The historical overview and the analysis of demographic aspects of aging are supplemented with a discussion of rare phenomena, such as longevity and progeria. The book provides a comprehensive overview of available approaches for biological age estimation and offers a systematic analysis of existing theories of aging. Of particular note is the chapter that addresses geroprotective technologies, which investigates non-pharmacological strategies and the geroprotective potential of pharmacological agents. The authors evaluated the prospects of gene therapy and regenerative medicine, offering a well-balanced view of their application.
Volume 2 discusses the phenomenon of organ and system aging. The text describes age-related changes in the immune, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, and other systems. It emphasizes the pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical symptoms of aging.

The book provides an analysis of the most recent advancements in gerontology and a critical review of the controversial hypotheses of aging and geroprotection, which encourages further scientific research. The text targets a broad audience, ranging from biologists and clinicians (e.g., general practitioners, cardiologists, neurologists) to students and researchers. This research will be of particular benefit to specialists who study aging, such as gerontologists and geriatricians.

Dental lesions of non-carious origin that occur before teething

E. A. Satygo, A. V. Silin — Wed, 24 May 2023 00:00:00 +0300

The rapid and dynamic development of medicine, and in particular dentistry, creates a need for doctors to constantly improve and systematize their knowledge and clinical experience. Recent advances in genetics, microbiology and other innovative industries in the last decade have updated the understanding of dental pathology. In this situation, we will talk about non-carious lesions, which, on the one hand, have become increasingly common in the practice of dentists, on the other hand, the etiological and pathogenetic factors of their development have been clarified to a large extent. This could not but affect the approaches to the treatment of this type of pathology. In this manual, we tried to systematize modern data on non-carious lesions that occur before teething (during the period of follicular tissue development), focusing on the clinical course and approaches to the treatment of pathology and the prevention of other associated dental diseases. Based on our own clinical experience, we have detailed the features of the clinical course of non-carious lesions so that they are well recognizable to physicians. Particularly interesting and useful, in our opinion, the manual will be for pediatric dentists and orthodontists, students and residents studying

Scientific peer reviewing. Practical Hints and Best Practices

Peter Spyns, Marίa-Esther Vidal — Wed, 21 Apr 2021 00:00:00 +0300

This booklet aims to tackle this problem by providing a practical introduction to the practice of peer reviewing. Although it mainly focuses on paper reviewing for scientific events in the domain of computer science and (business) informatics, many of the principles, tips, tricks, and examples are generalizable to journal reviewing and other scientific domains. Some of the principles and tips can also be applied when reviewing proposals for research projects or grants. In addition, many aspects of this booklet will also benefit authors of scientific papers (even outside computer science) as they will gain more insight into how papers are reviewed and hence where they have to pay attention to when writing their papers.

These disorders are closely associated with the development of atherosclerosis and its complications such as heart attack and stroke. The material presented in the book is based not only on the literature data, but also on the author’s long-term experience. In the development of the above complications, in addition to dyslipidemia (DLP), many other risk factors (hypertension, smoking, obesity, etc.) are involved, and the mechanisms of their harmful effects are also discussed in the book. All modern methods of early diagnostics of atherosclerotic lesions of the heart and brain vessels are presented, which enable to identify this pathology even in the preclinical period of the disease. Equal attention in the book is given to both cardiological and angioneurological problems associated with dyslipidemias and atherosclerosis. The necessary place is given to questions of primary and secondary prophylaxis of complications in these pathological conditions, with special emphasis on combating lipid metabolism disorders.

A compact, publicly available presentation of the material is illustrated with clinical examples and indicative images (ECG, angiograms, duplex vessel scans, magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomograms of the brain). It stands to reason to believe that the book will become a good reference point in the everyday practice of therapists, cardiologists, neurologists and it will be in demand.

Each type of lipid disorders is illustrated with clinical cases, which makes the presented material more accessible to a wide range of practicing physicians.
