Principles of Nutrigenetics and Nutrigenomics: Fundamentals for Individualized Nutrition is the most comprehensive foundational text on the complex topics of nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics. Edited by three leaders in the field with contributions from the most well-cited researchers conducting groundbreaking research in the field, the book covers how the genetic makeup influences the response to foods and nutrients and how nutrients affect gene expression. Principles of Nutrigenetics and Nutrigenomics: Fundamentals for Individualized Nutrition is broken into four parts providing a valuable overview of genetics, nutrigenetics, and nutrigenomics, and a conclusion that helps to translate research into practice.With an overview of the background, evidence, challenges, and opportunities in the field, readers will come away with a strong understanding of how this new science is the frontier of medical nutrition. Principles of Nutrigenetics and Nutrigenomics: Fundamentals for Individualized Nutrition is a valuable reference for students and researchers studying nutrition, genetics, medicine, and related fields.- Uniquely foundational, comprehensive, and systematic approach with full evidence-based coverage of established and emerging topics in nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics- Includes a valuable guide to ethics for genetic testing for nutritional advice- Chapters include definitions, methods, summaries, figures, and tables to help students, researchers, and faculty grasp key concepts- Companion website includes slide decks, images, questions, and other teaching and learning aids designed to facilitate communication and comprehension of the content presented in the book

The ESC Textbook of Thrombosis is the third iteration of Therapeutic Advances in Thrombosis. Now a new addition to the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) publications portfolio, it is informed by the work of the ESC''s Working Group on Thrombosis. Written by internationally renowned experts in the field of thrombosis, the textbook presents an up-to-date and in-depth review of all aspects of thrombosis and antithrombotic therapies. Not only does it reflect contemporary European guidelines from the ESC but also it also summarizes the latest evidence from clinical trials. Covering the topic in great detail with thirty-one chapters, the textbook is split into four sections: Pathophysiology of thrombosis, Clinical pharmacology of antithrombotic drugs, Therapeutic strategies, and Special situations. Appealing to the large community of cardiovascular healthcare specialists in Europe and across the world, the textbook is a must read for cardiologists dealing with acute and chronic coronary syndromes, atrial fibrillation, artificial heart valves and pulmonary embolism. It will also appeal to cardiac surgeons, cardiovascular researchers, and general physicians alike.

Bridging the gap between the laboratory and the bedside, this timely volume illuminates the connection between endothelial dysfunction and vascular disease. This comprehensive survey of atherosclerotic disease begins with biology – incorporating the latest breakthroughs in the field – then elucidates risk factors and diagnostic tools and markers. A major section on endothelium-directed prevention and therapy shows you how to apply cutting-edge research to clinical care.

Under the careful editorial guidance of Drs. De Caterina and Libby, the highly-regarded contributors address:

endothelial activation and the initiation of atherosclerosis mechanisms of plaque progression and complications the role of LDL in the origin and progression of atherosclerosis advanced glycation endproducts and the accelerated atherosclerosis in diabetes oxidative stress and vascular disease soluble adhesion molecules as markers of vascular disease hormone-replacement therapy and cardiovascular risk anti-oxidants and endothelial protection and more.

The first book dedicated to the central role of endothelial dysfunction in vascular disease, this concise volume gathers all the latest information on the subject into one convenient and cohesive text. Make sure your patients are benefiting from current knowledge by keeping a copy of Enothelial Dysfunctions in Vascular Disease close at hand for frequent consultation.

IntroductionEvery book has a history, this one not excepted, having emerged from intersections in professional lives of the Editors. This book bears the fruits of a collaboration between the “pupil” (RDC) and the “mentor” (PL). During an extended sabbatical of the pupil in Boston in 1994, we probed together the concept that endothelial dysfunction served as a common denominator of vascular disease, with the balance between inflammation and its inhibition as a fulcrum of the regulation of the behavior of endothelial cells. As practicing cardiologists in our clinical lives, we sought to link to endothelial function the mechanisms of action of risk factors and of pharmacologic agents used to treat and prevent vascular disease. The pupil therefore authored a few reviews on the mechanism of action of risk factors and included them in a small book, published in Italian, for which the mentor wrote a preface. The book was greeted with favor from the Italian cardiological community, and provided the nidus for the present, more ambitious endeavor, which includes updated reviews on the pathogenesis of vascular disease and on the most novel aspects of vascular biology. This enterprise was enabled by the contributions of many of our former or present collaborators and colleagues, without whose enthusiasm and engagement this work could never have seen light. We largely underestimated the devotion necessary on our own side at the beginning, but it ultimately yielded a product that we feel achieves our original goals. We are aware that we confront a continuously evolving topic, where frequent updates would be desirable - if not necessary. Yet, we believe in the value of books - such as the current one - that attempt to organize in a snapshot of time, the vast amount of literature available in a coherent and comprehensive scheme. We are aware of existing gaps, of emerging material not paid its due, and of the rapid evolution of some of the concepts highlighted within. The links between the laboratory and the clinic have never afforded more opportunity for new understanding and advances in diagnosis and treatment than today We hope that our colleagues, vascular biologists cardiologists, internists, and other physicians alike will find this compendium a useful guide to this most exciting time in vascular biology and medicine—Raffaele De Caterina and Peter Libby
