Book Description
Cet ouvrage propose une synthèse complète des connaissances et des travaux actuels relatifs à la vitamine D en abordant : ● ses origines, son métabolisme et son mode d’action, en particulier sur les cellules osseuses, l’intestin, le rein et les parathyroïdes, mais aussi ses effets sur la différenciation et la prolifération cellulaires, le système immunitaire, le système cardiovasculaire, le système nerveux et la fonction musculaire ; ● ses effets sur la santé, en étudiant notamment les relations entre le statut vitaminique D et l’incidence ou l’évolution défavorable de certaines maladies telles les maladies cardiovasculaires et métaboliques, le diabète de type II, les maladies auto-immunes ou à composante auto-immune, le cancer, les néphropathies, les maladies neurodégénératives, certaines infections, les complications de la grossesse, etc. ; ● son utilisation à des fins préventives et curatives sous forme de supplémentation médicamenteuse ou de recommandations nutritionnelles. L’objectif de cet ouvrage est d’apporter aux professionnels de santé (pharmaciens, médecins généralistes, nutritionnistes et diététiciens…) tous les savoirs et outils utiles à leur pratique quotidienne.

Book Description
Emerging and Reemerging Viral Pathogens: Fundamental and Basic Virology Aspects of Human, Animal and Plant Pathogens, Volume One presents new research information on viruses and their impact on the scientific community. It provides a reference book on certain viruses in humans, animals and vegetal, along with a comprehensive discussion on interspecies interactions. The book then looks at the drug, vaccine and bioinformatical strategies that can be used against these viruses, giving the reader a clear understanding of transmission. The book's end goal is to create awareness that the appearance of newly transmissible pathogens is a global risk that requires shared/adoptable policies for prevention and control. Covers most emerging viral disease in humans, animals and plants Provides the most advanced tools and techniques in molecular virology and the modeling of viruses Creates awareness that the appearance of new transmissible pathogens is a global risk Highlights the need to adopt shared policies for the prevention and control of infectious diseases

Book Description
The Nutrition and Health series of books has as an overriding mission to provide health professionals with texts that are considered essential because each includes: a synthesis of the state of the science; timely, in-depth reviews by the leading researchers in their respective fields; extensive, up-to-date fully annotated reference lists; a detailed index; relevant tables and figures; identification of paradigm shifts and the consequences; of information between chapters, but targeted, inter-chapter refer virtually no overlap rals, suggestions of areas for future research; and balanced, data-driven answers to patient questions that are based on the totality of evidence rather than the findings of any single study. The series volumes are not the outcome of a symposium. Rather, each editor has the potential to examine a chosen area with a broad perspective, both in subject matter as well as in the choice of chapter authors. The international perspective, especially with regard to public health initiatives, is emphasized where appropriate. The editors, whose training is both research and practice oriented, have the opportunity to develop a primary objective for their book, define the scope and focus, and then invite the leading authori ties from around the world to be part of their initiative. The authors are encouraged to provide an overview of the field, discuss their own research, and relate the research de findings to potential human health consequences.
Book Description
Savez-vous d’où vient la vitamine D ? La première synthèse de cette vitamine a été réalisée à Harvard, en 1952, par R.B. Woodward, un scientifique qui reçut un prix Nobel en 1965. La vitamine D est vitale pour la santé. Ce livre nous rappelle : Son histoire, Nos besoins quotidiens, Ses sources alimentaires en dehors du Soleil Comment notre organisme la synthétise, Ses richesses et ses conséquences sur notre santé en cas de carence (son impact sur les défenses immunitaires, les maladies inflammatoires, l’ostéoporose et les fractures, les infections,le cancer, etc.).

Book Description
In Vitamin D: Physiology, Molecular Biology, and Clinical Applications, Second Edition, Volume 1, leading researchers provide a comprehensive, highly readable overview of the biological functions and clinical applications of vitamin D and its metabolites. Presented in a newly affordable softcover format this volume contains Parts IV through VII of the previously published hardcover text. Topics range from the most recent recommendations for vitamin D intake to new approaches for the treatment and prevention of vitamin D deficiency and the development of active vitamin D drugs to treat psoriasis and cancer. The book demonstrates the significant role that vitamin D has in maintaining good bone health and the prevention of osteoporosis, an important health problem for adults over the age of fifty. In addition, it authoritatively reviews the relationship between sunlight exposure, vitamin D, and increased risk of colon and breast cancer; how vitamin D is made in the skin; and the sequence of events that leads to its activation by the kidney. Also examined are the biological functions of 1,25-dihydrovitamin D3 on the intestine and bone, as well as other tissues, such as skin, the immune system, prostate, and breast, and vitamin D's molecular mechanism of action on the cell membrane and nucleus. Vitamin D: Physiology, Molecular Biology, and Clinical Applications, Second Edition, Volume 2 is designed and organized not only to be an up-to-date review on the subject, but also to provide medical students, graduate students, health care professionals and even the lay public with a reference source for the most up-to-date information about the vitamin D deficiency pandemic and its clinical implications for health and disease.

Book Description
La vitamine D a été mise à l’honneur récemment et son intérêt grandit surtout depuis qu’on évoque des effets bénéfiques dans la prévention du cancer. La première partie de cet ouvrage correspond à un rappel sur la peau et le rayonnement solaire.La deuxième partie est la description des différentes origines de la vitamine D, sa synthèse à partir des rayons ultraviolets B et son mode d’action. La troisième partie est une présentation des effets bénéfiques de la vitamine D sur la santé. Au niveau osseux tout d’abord: rachitisme, ostéoporose, fracture... et ensuite extra-osseux : cancer, diabète de type I, sclérose en plaque, hypertension artérielle, dépression, capacités intellectuelles... Enfin, la dernière partie est une présentation des différentes façons d’atteindre un taux « santé » de vitamine D : l’alimentation, l’exposition solaire et la supplémentation orale, et l’analyse de l’augmentation de la prescription de l’UVEDOSE®.
