Sabanegh, Jr1st ed. 2014.New York, NY :Springer New York :Imprint: Springer,2014.1 online resource (281 p.)Description based upon print version of record.1-322-13319-0 1-4939-1039-6 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.Epidemiology and Evidence of Declining Male Fertility -- Part I: Lifestyle/Personal Factors -- The Effect of Smoking on Male Infertility -- BMI and Obesity -- The Impact of Physical Exercise on Male Fertility -- The Importance of Diet, Vitamins, Malnutrition, and Nutrient Deficiencies in Male Fertility -- The Effect of Alcohol Consumption on Male Infertility -- Drugs: Recreational and Performance Enhancing Substance Abuse -- Testicular Heat Stress and Sperm Quality -- Sexual Issues: Role of Sexually Transmitted Infections on Male-Factor Fertility -- Psychological Stress and Male Infertility -- The Impact of Cell Phone, Laptop Computer and Microwave Oven Usage on Male Fertility -- Part II: Occupational Exposure -- Pesticides and Heavy Metal Toxicity -- Endocrine Disruptors and Male Infertility -- Ionizing Radiation -- Part III: Other Factors Affecting Male Fertility -- Risks from Medical and Therapeutic Treatments -- The Aging Male: Longevity and Subsequent Implications.This unique text provides a comprehensive yet concise review of the various environmental factors and lifestyle choices which impact male fertility, with special emphasis on the mechanisms that contribute to decreased sperm production and impaired function. Internationally recognized scientists and clinicians, leaders in the field of male infertility, gather their insights and discuss how to prevent, address, and treat male infertility caused by factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, medication and drug use, obesity, dietary and exercise habits, sexually transmitted infections, psychological stress, and occupational exposure to chemicals and radiation. Written in an easy to follow, informal yet scientific style, Male Infertility: A Complete Guide to Lifestyle and Environmental Factors offers invaluable clinical guidelines for physicians and infertility experts as well as new data and research of great interest to basic scientists, andrologists, and embryologists.Reproductive healthUrologyQuality of lifeReproductive MedicineUrologyQuality of Life ResearchReproductive health.Urology.Quality of life.Reproductive Medicine.Urology.Quality of Life Research.616.6921du Plessis Stefan Sedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtAgarwal Ashokedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtSabanegh Jr., Edmund Sedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910300339103321Male Infertility1521882UNINA05028nam 22014293a 450 991036774940332120250203235425.09783039216079303921607410.3390/books978-3-03921-607-9(CKB)4100000010106223(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/55429(ScCtBLL)f5f181b3-8184-4ce2-932b-bcaa44d59d32(OCoLC)1163808624(oapen)doab55429(EXLCZ)99410000001010622320250203i20192019 uu engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe origin and Early Evolution of Life : Prebiotic Chemistry of Biomolecules /Michele FioreMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute2019Basel, Switzerland :MDPI,2019.1 electronic resource (288 p.)9783039216062 3039216066 Studying the origin of life is one of man's greatest achievements over the last sixty years. The fields of interest encompassed by this quest are multiple and interdisciplinary: chemistry, physics, biology, biochemistry, mathematics, geology but also statistics, atmospheric science, meteorology, oceanography, and astrophysics. Recent scientific discoveries, such as water on Mars and the existence of super-Earths with atmospheres similar to primordial Earth, have pushed researchers to simulate prebiotic conditions in explaining the abiotic formation of molecules essential to life. This collection of articles offers an overview of recent discoveries in the field of prebiotic chemistry of biomolecules, their formation and selection, and the evolution of complex chemical systems.Chemistrybicsscmineralsinosinecarbamic acidprebiotic chemistrypentopyranose nucleic acidcatalysisMVC architecture pattern and biological informationcarbon dioxide-ammonia icesstability as a selection pressureribozyme and tRNAtranslation and the genetic codeAnyLogic software for computer simulation of translation machineDarwinian evolutionprebiotic information systemgenetic code originelectrochemistrycoevolution of translation machine and the genetic codedigit multiplicitythermodynamic bottleneckabasic oligomersselectionnucleotide stabilityAICARtRNA-synthetasehypercyclenucleotide oligomerizationorigin of lifethioesterdry-wet cyclesChemomimesispopulation growthtRNA and mRNAdiversityearly peptidesMolecular DarwinismtRNA accretion modelreplicationaldol reactionhydrothermal ventsbase pairingnumerical codonsabiogenesispurine precursorpeptide/RNA worldinformationab initio molecular dynamicsRNAcysteinenucleotide and nucleoside synthesisthiol-rich peptidesnovel metalloproteinstransmissionfunctionenergy currencyanharmonicityarabinopyranose nucleic acidbridge peptide and aaRSaminonitrilesmechanochemistryprebiotic polymerizationorigins of lifeencodingcarbon fixationinfrared spectraphosphoryl transfermetabolismgrowth orderlayered double hydroxide (LDH) claymolecular clocksMonte Carlobinary patterned amino acid sequencesnetwork expansion simulationprebiotic soupnucleotidyltransferasesmixed anhydridephosphatestranslationribosomepentose diphosphatemonosaccharidessystems chemistryreductionimidazolesprotein designChemistryFiore Michele1312140ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910367749403321The Origin and Early Evolution of Life3038915UNINA
