Sommario/riassunto

This comprehensive, up-to-date book presents the latest research and applied practice to address all of the key issues relating to sport and eating disorders. The book begins by looking at the underlying factors behind the development of disordered eating. It goes on to consider evaluation, diagnosis and treatment across a wide range of sports and assesses the various types of treatment available and the practicalities of implementing treatment programmes. A whole chapter is devoted to the role of the internet, both as a source of information and possible



treatment, for athletes with these dis

Sommario/riassunto

This book highlights the latest advances and novel technologies for the preparation, functionalization and green derivitization of chitosan nanoparticles. The modification, biomedical applications, regulatory status and clinical trials of chitosan and its derivatives are also presented. Effective and innovative strategies enable increased



influence on final characteristics, stability and sustainability of chitosan nanoparticles. The book begins by examining chitosan nanoparticles, preparation and functionalization of the chitosan derivatives. This is followed by in-depth coverage of green derivatization and modification of chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs), regulatory status and clinical trials of chitosan and derivatives, characterization techniques for the chitosan nanoparticles and derivatives along with key applications of modified CSNPs in water, food and agriculture industries and biomedical applications including chemotherapy. The final chapters provide detailed discussions on chitosan as tools to combat COVID-19 and recent challenges and future prospectus of green derivatized chitosan nanoparticles.
