This new volume explains in detail the properties of micronutrients and macronutrients and their diverse uses as nutraceuticals for their beneficial properties, such as their antioxidant activity and immunity-boosting properties and how they can be incorporated into the human diet for optimum health, for growing beneficial bacteria in the gut, and inhibition of pathogens. Interestingly, the authors look at how disease-promoting habits often unfold in childhood, even prenatally, and employing nutrigenomics early on goes a long way toward curbing these chronic diseases later on in life.With the advent of increasing drug costs and escalating antimicrobial resistance, the pharmacological and antibiotic-like effects of naturally derived nutraceuticals are worth exploring. This volume provides important information toward that goal that will be valuable for researchers, faculty, and graduate students in medical microbiology, pharmacy, chemical engineering, and medical informatics.

In response to the recent upsurge of interest in the therapeutic potential of medicinal plants, with their promising phenolic compounds, this new book offers an important overview of advances in the applications of flavonoids for health. The book explores the nutritional and pharmacological properties of polyphenols and flavonoids, including their ability to prevent the start and development of diseases and how they aid in the management of several chronic pathological illnesses, including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neuro-degenerative illness and aging, pregnancy-induced disorders, and others. Also discussed in depth are the properties, classes, and degrees that formulate a phenolic compound and which subsequently supports the development of drugs/products with health benefits.

Breast cancer remains one of the most common cancers worldwide, with surgery still serving as the primary treatment modality. Up to 30% of breast cancers are impalpable at diagnosis, necessitating lesion localisation. Currently, wire-guided localisation remains the gold standard for managing non-palpable lesions. However, inherent limitations of this technique, combined with recent technological advances, have driven a progressive shift toward non-wire localisation methods. Similarly, the management of axillary tumours has evolved, moving from radical axillary surgery toward more conservative approaches, such as targeted axillary dissection.This book, the first dedicated solely to these topics, provides an up-to-date guide on current trends, advanced knowledge, and practical skills. To support practitioners—including surgeons, radiologists, radiographers, and multidisciplinary teams—in updating their skills for daily clinical practice, this work provides a comprehensive overview of current trends, emerging knowledge, and practical tips.

This book offers an in-depth exploration of fixed point theory within a mathematical framework known as nonlinear elastic matching distance spaces. Specifically, the authors discuss new mathematical tools to handle complex systems where several elements interact at once and influence each other in complex ways. Traditional methods are usually able to measure relationships between two things at a time, but many real-world problems in areas such as engineering, data science, economics, and computer modeling involve multiple interactions and nonlinear changes that traditional/classical approaches cannot capture fully. By developing a broader and more flexible framework, the authors provide improved methods to study stability, recurring processes, and long-term behavior in complex systems to meet the growing demand for stronger mathematical foundations in modern research and technology. Building from fundamentals including topology, convergence, and completeness, the book reinterprets classical results such as Banach’s contraction principle in this broader setting. The authors then move on to advanced topics including weak and generalized contractions, ordered structures, cyclic and non-self mappings, best proximity points, and multi-variable fixed point results, along with the stability of iterative processes. With carefully worked examples, applications to nonlinear integral and functional equations, and exercises throughout, the book serves as a valuable research guide and as a graduate-level reference book for those looking to engage deeply with modern developments in nonlinear analysis.
