This core textbook helps medical students bridge the gap between biochemistry, physiology, and clinical care. The strength of Mark's Basic Medical Biochemistry is that it starts with the patient—the metabolic and nutritional needs of the human body (easy for students to understand)—as opposed to explanations of complex chemical theory. Mark's Basic empahsizes clinical correlations throughout the text and links biochemical concepts to physiology and pathophysiology, using patient vignettes as the context. These specific and memorable mock patient cases are followed throughout the chapter to pose questions, illustrate core concepts, and help students remember and apply biochemical priniciples within the context of clinical practice.

Chemotherapeutic strategies are fundamental for treating diseases like cancer, which metastasizes rapidly to healthy tissues. However, these drugs, being nonspecific, may harm both the diseased as well as the healthy tissues. Rapid clearance, low uptake, and uneven distribution of the payloads at target sites result in poor biodistribution. To address the emerging challenges of off-target accumulation and patient noncompliance, it is crucial to selectively deliver therapeutic agents to target sites, release the loaded cargo efficiently, and remove the chemotherapeutic agents from the system without triggering an immune response. The advent of smart targeting methods has revolutionized drug delivery systems (DDS). Stimuli-responsive smart DDS can release drugs in response to pH, light, redox, magnetic fields, and hyperthermia, marking the future of translational medicine. Exosomes and phytosomes are innovative drug delivery platforms that have brought about a paradigm shift in DDS. Theranostic agents, which combine diagnostic and therapeutic functions, represent a significant advancement in personalized medicine. These agents allow real-time assessment of drug biodistribution, release, and therapeutic outcomes. Theranostic probes, particularly nanoparticles with drug carrier and imaging capabilities, have transformed cancer therapy by enabling precise imaging at tumor sites. This book explores drug delivery strategies for therapeutic products including vitamins, emphasizing the delivery of live cell therapies. It also highlights nanostructured systems tailored for smart drug delivery and theranostic medicines, showcasing promising advancements in this emerging field.

An estimated 50 million Americans suffer from some form of autoimmune disease. If you're among them, you may know all too well how little modern medicine can do to alleviate your condition. But that's no reason to give up hope. In this groundbreaking book, Sarah D. Ballantyne, PhD, draws upon current medical research and her own battle with an autoimmune disorder to show you how you can become completely symptom-free—the natural way. The Paleo Approach is the first book ever to explain how to adapt the Paleo diet and lifestyle to bring about a full recovery. Read it to learn why foods marketed as "healthy"—such as whole grains, soy, and low-fat dairy—can contribute to the development of autoimmune conditions. Discover what you can eat to calm your immune system, reduce inflammation, and help your body heal itself. Find out which simple lifestyle changes—along with changes in diet—will make the biggest difference for your health. There's no need to worry that "going Paleo" will break the bank or require too much time in the kitchen preparing special foods. In The Paleo Approach, Dr. Ballantyne provides expert tips on how to make the switch easily and economically. Complete food lists with strategies for the day-to-day—how stay within your food budget, where to shop for what you need, how to make the most out of your time in the kitchen, and how to eat out—take all the guesswork out of going Paleo. Simple strategies for lifestyle adjustments, including small steps that can make a huge difference, guide you through the most important changes to support healing. Do you have a complicated condition that requires medical intervention, medication, or supplements? Dr. Ballantyne also walks you through the most useful medical tests, treatments, and supplements (as well as the most counterproductive ones) to help you open a dialogue with your physician. Features such as these make The Paleo Approach the ultimate resource for anyone suffering from an autoimmune disease. Why suffer a moment longer? Reclaim your health with The Paleo Approach!
