Sommario/riassunto

Neurodegenerative diseases of the human brain appear in various forms, resulting in disorders of movement and coordination, cognitive deterioration and psychiatric disturbances. Many of the key factors leading to neurodegenerative diseases are similar, including the dysfunction of metal ion homeostasis, redox-active metal ions generating oxidative stress, and intracellular inclusion bodies.  Metal-based Neurodegeneration presents a detailed survey of the molecular



origins of neurodegenerative diseases. Each chapter is dedicated to a specific disease, presenting the latest scient

Sommario/riassunto

Lymphoedema is managed most successfully when advice and treatment are provided at an early stage of its development. This book provides all the necessary knowledge and the skills required to identify risk factors for the development of the disease and to equip the health care professional in providing the best advice to the patient.As well as examining the physical signs and symptoms of lymphoedema, the book explores the different types of lymphoedema and reasons for its



development. It includes a framework for the assessment of the person with lymphoedema, addresses skin care, compre
