Nutrition NUTRITION, EPIGENETICS AND HEALTH edited by Graham Burdge & Karen Lillycrop (University of Southampton, UK)

Epigenetics is emerging as an important factor in risk of diseases of global importance including obesity, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Unlike gene polymorphisms which have been the focus of understanding the role of inherited disease susceptibility for some time, epigenetic can be modified by environmental factors, in particular nutrition. Thus research into the role of epigenetics in disease has substantial potential for explaining the impact of the environmental factors such as diet on disease risk. Since epigenetic processes can be modified by nutrition, it may be possible to modify inappropriate epigenetic marks by nutritional interventions to reduce disease risk. This book will explore current understanding of the interaction between nutrition, epigenetics and disease risk, will place this knowledge in the context of global health and discuss the ethical implications of this research. Readership: Nutritionists, molecular biologists and those involved in global health issues. Dec 2016 236pp 978-981-3143-30-2 US$105 £87 978-981-3143-31-9(ebook) US$158 £132

:: Bestseller INTRAVITREAL INJECTIONS

A Handbook for Ophthalmic Nurse Practitioners and Trainee Ophthalmologists by Salman Waqar, Jonathan C Park (South West Peninsula Deanery, UK) & Michael D Cole (Torbay General Hospital, Torbay, UK) Intravitreal injections (injections into the eye) are a new form of treatment for various conditions such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease and vascular eye problems. The use of these injections has become so widespread that most departments around the world (and particularly in the U.K) do not have enough doctors to meet the service provision demands of an ever increasing number of patients. Many departments have trialed training ophthalmic nurse practitioners as a solution and the number of such specifically trained nurses is set to rise exponentially in the future.

This journal has as its objective the publication and dissemination of original research (even for “revolutionary concepts that contrast with existing theories” & “hypothesis”) in all fields of engineering-mechanics that includes mechanisms, processes, bio-sensors and bio-devices in medicine, biology and healthcare. The journal publishes original papers in English which contribute to an understanding of biomedical engineering and science at a nano- to macro-scale or an improvement of the methods and techniques of medical, biological and clinical treatment by the application of advanced high technology.

Journal of Musculoskeletal Research (JMR) http://www.worldscientific.com/jmr

 Micro/nanofabrication

Indexed in Scopus

 Medical microsystems

Journal of Musculoskeletal Research is an international, interdisciplinary journal aimed at publishing up-to-date contributions on clinical and basic research in the musculoskeletal system. Research into the musculoskeletal system has grown tremendously in the past few decades. Meanwhile, several outstanding journals in the field have appeared, but with a different emphasis and objective. With the growing number of studies in the field, the review process has become increasingly longer. We hope this journal will serve as a new forum for both scientists and clinicians to share their ideas and the results of their studies.
