The human body is designed for activity. For most of our history, physical activity was required for survival, but technological advances have eliminated much of the need for hard physical labor. As our activity levels have dropped, it has become clear that a physically inactive lifestyle can lead to a host of health problems. Physical Activity and Health, Second Edition, provides a comprehensive treatment of the research on the benefits of a physically active lifestyle in comparison with the harmful consequences of physical inactivity. Written by leading scientists from the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia, Physical Activity and Health, Second Edition, brings together the results of the most important studies on the relationship between physical activity, sedentarism, and various health outcomes. The second edition has been fully updated based on the latest advances in this rapidly changing field and expanded to include the following new content: • A chapter on the physiology of inactivity and the effects of sedentary behavior even in people who engage in appropriate amounts of physical activity, which is an area of growing interest • More extensive coverage of physical activity, aging, and the brain, including a new chapter on the relationship between physical activity and brain structures and functions • A chapter on the development of national and international physical activity and health guidelines, which will help readers better understand how scientific findings are converted into practical recommendations Physical Activity and Health, Second Edition, offers a detailed yet concise presentation of key concepts as well as a framework to help readers relate results from single studies or collections of studies to the overall paradigm linking physical activity and physical fitness to health. For each of the topics covered, the text provides an overview of the most important research findings, discusses the limitations of the current knowledge base, and identifies directions for future investigation. At the core of the text is a review of our current understanding of how physical activity affects health concerns such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and obesity as well as aging and mental health. The text identifies sedentary living habits and poor fitness as major public health problems and examines the potential of physical activity to prevent disease and enhance quality of life. This complete resource also looks at the evolution of the field of physical activity and health; variations in physical activity levels across age, sex, and ethnic groups; the body's physiological responses to physical activity; dose-response issues; and the influence of genetics on physical activity, fitness, and health. The book ends with an integration of the issues covered and discusses new opportunities for research. The second edition of Physical Activity and Health continues to offer clear, user-friendly coverage of the most important concepts and research in the field. Numerous special features will aid readers in their comprehension of the material. Chapter outlines and callout boxes help readers key in on important topics and focus their reading, and chapter summaries, definitions of key terms, and study questions provide tools for review and self-testing. Commonly used acronyms and abbreviations are found on the interior covers for handy reference. Where other books have simply promoted physical activity for the individual or a population, Physical Activity and Health, Second Edition, completely integrates current knowledge of the relationship between physical activity and health. With contributions from some of the finest scientists in the field, this comprehensive text offers information unmatched in accuracy and reliability.

Det råder inga som helst tvivel om att man måste träna hårt för att bli en framgångsrik skidåkare. Alla tävlingsåkare inom samtliga discipliner, skidlärare och avancerade friåkare lägger mycket tid på träning. Men lägger de tid på rätt saker? Skulle träningen bli effektivare om åkaren och tränaren hade större kunskaper kring vilka delar i kroppen som aktiveras under skidåkning, vilka av dessa som faktiskt är träningsbara och hur de genom träning utvecklas på bästa sätt? Den här boken syftar till att ge kunskap om hur teknik och prestation kan optimeras genom förståelse för och utveckling av åkarens fysiska kapacitet. Det är ett område som består av en rad viktiga beståndsdelar med en gemensam nämnare – kroppen utvecklas av rätt belastning. I den här boken kommer du att få en djupare kunskap om de olika beståndsdelarna och hur de hänger ihop. Boken är skriven för tränare, skidlärare, aktiva tävlingsåkare och friåkare som alla har mycket att vinna på att öka sin kunskap inom anatomi och träningslära. Boken består av tre huvudsakliga delar som svarar på fundamentala frågor om utveckling av sin egen och andras skidåkning. Första delen: Kroppens funktioner vid skidåkning – Vad behöver vi veta om vad som sker i kroppen vid skidåkning för att utveckla en åkare optimalt? Andra delen: Att utveckla kroppens funktioner – Vilka fysiska egenskaper kan utvecklas för att förbättra en åkares prestation och hur bör det göras utifrån kroppens träningsbarhet? Tredje delen: Träning för att utveckla kroppens funktioner – Vilka fysiska egenskaper bör åkaren utveckla för att optimera teknik och prestation utifrån nuvarande färdighetsnivå och framtida mål? Genom ökad kunskap om kroppens träningsbarhet och funktion kan träningen anpassas utifrån respektive åkares individuella förutsättningar, ålder och mål. På så sätt skapas förutsättningar för ett träningsupplägg som både maximerar motivation och prestation, samt minimerar risken för skador. Oavsett ålder, ambition och förutsättningar kan du med glädje träna både långsiktigt och hållbart – med skidåkning som ett livslångt intresse.

I mitten av 1800-talet började den tyske läkaren Rudolf Virchow vidareutveckla läran om cellen och blev den som grundade cellpatologin, konstaterar författaren och medicinaren Kenneth Pehrsson i denna välskrivna medicinhistoria. Virchows namn är starkt förknippat med den moderna medicinens uppkomst och fortsatta framsteg. Redan vid 24 års ålder publicerade han sina första texter. Han betonade vikten av mikroskopiska undersökningar av vävnader. Han formulerade även aforismen att varje cell stammar från en annan cell.
37 år gammal publicerade han den legendariska Cellularphatologie, vilket ledde till att han blev en av de mest berömda läkarna i historien. Huvudbudskapet var att alla sjukdomar utspelas i kroppens celler. Så fortsatte hans forskarliv. Detta är en skildring av en mångbegåvad, säregen och vetgirig mångsysslare hans främsta strävan var att skapa goda livsvillkor för oss alla. Här är berättelsen om hans liv.
Kenneth Pehrsson är medicinare, docent och f.d. överläkare, med många års erfarenhet från bl.a. Karolinska sjukhuset i Stockholm. Hans bok Om läkekonst förr och nu (2022) fick ett mycket positivt bemötande.

Cajal's Neuronal Forest: Science and Art continues the tradition set forth by its sister volume Cajal's Butterflies of the Soul (OUP, 2009). This new collection contains hundreds of beautiful rarely-seen-before figures produced throughout the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century by famed father-of-modern-neuroscience Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852-1934) and his contemporaries. Cajal was captivated by the beautiful shapes of the cells of the nervous system. He and his fellow scientists saw neurons as trees and glial cells as bushes. Given their high density and arrangement, neurons and glial resembled a thick forest, a seemingly impenetrable terrain of interacting cells mediating cognition and behavior. In unraveling the mysteries of the brain, these researchers encountered an almost infinite number of cellular forms with an extraordinary beauty, which they could not help but put pen to paper, allowing them to discover a new artistic world- the neuronal forest- that gave free rein not only to their imagination, but to a new way of viewing the brain as well. This book has been divided into two parts. The first focuses on the scientific atmosphere in Cajal's times, on the history of the neuron, and the anatomical challenge posed in studying neuronal connections. It also delves into the artistic skills of Cajal and other important pioneers in neuroscience and how the neuronal forests have served as an unlimited source of artistic inspiration. The second consists of 275 original drawings by Cajal. All were published over the course of his scientific career and cover virtually all of his research fields of interest, including the spinal cord, the optic lobe and retina, cerebral cortex, and many other regions of the brain. Cajal's Neuronal Forest: Science and Art is a testament to the natural beauty found in science. Despite the common misconception that the drawings of Cajal and other scientists of the time are pieces of art, these drawings are in fact copies of histological preparations and contributed greatly to the discoveries made in the field of neuroscience. This book is a gem in any library, whether serving as a medical history or a gallery of stunning sketches.

The body is the most complex machine in the world, but what happens when the parts start to fail?Meet the scientists facing the challenge…AN AMAZON AND TIME BOOK OF THE YEAR Our bodies regenerate at a remarkable rate – our skin replaces itself every month, our blood every four. You can remove ninety per cent of a liver and it’ll still grow back to its original size (please do not try this at home).Others – the brain, the heart, the eyes – are more complicated. These stay with us for life. So what do we do when they break down? For centuries, medicine has searched for answers – sculpting noses from brass, borrowing skin from frogs and hearts from pigs and crafting eye parts from jet canopies. And as technology has grown ever more ingenious, so have our solutions.In Replaceable You, Mary Roach sets sail on the uncharted waters of regenerative medicine, exploring the remarkable advances and difficult questions prompted by the human body’s failings:When and how does a person decide they’d be better off with a prosthetic than their existing limb?Is there a sensitive way to harvest tissue and bones from the deceased?Which animals might be the best organ donors? Through experiments and interviews with patients, physicians, pathologists, engineers and scientists, Roach immerses readers in the wondrous, improbable and surreal quest to build a new you.***'Full of engaging accounts of scientific advances in the field of the human body.'

Biomolekylerna och de metabola vägarna är många och de biokemiska processernas mekanismer är komplicerade, vilket gör att studier av den humana metabolismen kan upplevas som en tung disciplin. Den här boken underlättar studierna genom att förse dig med en strukturerad kunskapskälla och ett inlärningsverktyg som kan stimulera logiskt tänkande.Boken inleds med regler i bioenergetik och termodynamik som är relevanta för ämnes- och energiomsättningen och fortsätter med beskrivning och diskussion kring biomolekyler och metabola vägar. Den redogör för hur energi transporteras i kroppen, för olika typer av energibärare och för omsättningen av kolhydrater, fetter, aminosyror och andra biomolekyler. Tabeller med nyckelämnen och sammanfattningar av centrala händelser ger överblick och underlättar inlärningen. I det avslutande kapitlet beskrivs integrering och reglering av enskilda vägar och den totala metabolismen.Människans metabolism riktar sig främst till universitetsstudenter som läser medicin, biomedicin, farmakologi, biologi, kemi eller näringsfysiologi. Den strukturerade genomgången av biomolekyler, metabola vägar och regleringsmekanismer gör den till ett centralt kurskomplement. Yrkesverksamma läkare, biomedicinska analytiker, apotekare, nutritionister och andra inom hälso- och sjukvården eller läkemedelsindustrin kan använda boken för repetition eller fördjupning av sina kunskaper i metabolismens mekanismer.
