Biomedical Therapies for Fatal Diseases documents the history of treating various fatal disease and the progress made on various therapies that have extended life expectancy and alleviated suffering in those afflicted by these diseases. For example, advances in vaccination protocols have rendered some once nearly always fatal diseases nearly extinct. After the introductory explanation, this book explains about causes or mechanisms of fatal diseases such as cancer and ALS, and about recent therapies that may relieve patients’ suffering, such as photoimmunotherapy, checkpoint blockade therapy, CAR T cell therapy and current ALS therapy. Furthermore, clinical trials approved by FDA are described.

Our lives have benefited immensely from the scientific evolution over the years. This book provides an overview of the lives of three great scientists, Newton, Faraday and Einstein, who made the most significant contributions to physics.Newton and Faraday laid the foundation of Newtonian mechanics and electro-magnetic theory, respectively, that constituted the two greatest contributions to classical physics. Newton elucidated the motion of celestial bodies with the three laws of motion, while Faraday researched electro-magnetic phenomena and discovered electro-magnetic induction, magneto-optical effect, etc.Furthermore, Einstein contributed to the foundation of quantum mechanics and relativity theory which comprise the two greatest theories in modern physics. By elucidating photoelectric effect, Einstein proved the correctness of the concept of quantum proposed by Planck which resulted in quantum mechanics being considered as an epoch-making mechanics following Newtonian mechanics. Einstein renovated the concept of time-space and derived the Lorentz transformation supporting relativity principle.This book will take the readers on a journey to understand the progress from classical physics to modern physics.

Our current lives are a result of scientific evolution to which many geniuses in science have contributed. This book describes the lives of great scientists from Galileo to Einstein who made remarkable discoveries in science. By focusing on their stories, the reader will understand that the common trait shared by them in their scientific journey was a genuine enthusiasm to scholarship.The Progress of science is surveyed as follows: Galileo called the father of modern science, expressed natural phenomena with quantitatively measurable quantities, such as weight and length for the first time. Kepler discovered Kepler's laws that explained the movement of celestial bodies. It was however not understood why celestial bodies moved according to Kepler's laws. This problem was elucidated by Newton founding Newtonian mechanics. Electromagnetic phenomena experimentally discovered by Faraday, were theoretically unified by Maxwell who founded electromagnetic theory, constituting the two greatest theories in classical physics together with Newtonian mechanics until the end of nineteenth century.At the end of nineteenth century, two experimental results could not explained by classical physics. The one was the result on the black body radiation. For elucidating the result, Planck in 1900 derived Planck's formula, discovering the concept of "quantum." The other was Michelson-Morley experiment's result supporting relativity principle. For elucidating the result, Einstein developed relativistic theory, constituting the two greatest theories of twentieth century together with quantum mechanics.The readers can understand the progress in physics from classical physics to modern physics, impressed by the lives of geniuses with a genuine enthusiasm to scholarship.
