Biotechnological Strategies for the Treatment of Gluten Intolerance provides a comprehensive overview of a wide range of biotechnological approaches that will further research and upon implementation improve the quality of life of this population. Gluten intolerance is a heterogeneous condition with varying levels of sensitivity that have typically been treated with a gluten free diet, but this book provides new and exciting biotechnological approaches that affect diet as well as non-dietary approaches. The reference describes the varying levels of sensitivity and explores symptoms beyond the intestines for a complete overview of the spectrum of sensitivity. The impact of diversity of wheat species, gluten quality and the nutritional values of gluten free products are extensively discussed. This reference is perfect for researchers and clinicians that want to further treatment options for those suffering from gluten sensitivity. Provides an innovative scenario of gluten intolerance, on the basis of recent epidemiological and pathogenetic findings Highlights the knowledge of biotechnological strategies to overcome the classical gluten free diet Highlights innovative immune approaches for the management of gluten intolerance

Nearly all of us aspire to live a prudentially good life. To achieve this, we must understand which things are good for us and which things are bad for us - in other words, we must understand what well-being and ill-being consist in. While well-being has been the subject of significant philosophical inquiry, ill-being has received far less attention. The handful of philosophers who have considered ill-being have challenged the common belief that ill-being is the symmetrical counterpart of well-being and argued that deriving accounts of ill-being from existing theories of well-being is more complex than it appears. The present collection of fifteen original essays offers an in-depth exploration of the philosophical issues surrounding ill-being. Issues covered include the role of ill-being in everyday practice, the aggregation of goods and bads, degrees of well- and ill-being, how existing theories of well-being can account for ill-being, the role of adaptive preferences in ill-being, and how to understand the badness of pain. By examining the relation of ill-being to a variety of connected phenomena, such as unhappiness, negative emotions and affects, pain, disability, disease, and failure, the essays will illuminate the important notions of ill-being and well-being. Given the broad relevance of these issues, this collection will be indispensable not only to philosophers but also to scholars and graduate students in fields such as psychology, sociology, and economics.
