商品描述

This heavily revised second edition comprehensively examines the causes and effects of obesity, both on the human body as well as society as a whole. The significance obesity plays in the development of a variety of lethal and non-lethal diseases is discussed, and the prevention and treatment of obesity are looked at in detail. Treatment strategies such as bariatric surgical techniques and descriptions of how to apply the latest assessment technologies are provided for obese adult and pediatric patients. A new section to this edition covers the impact of COVID-19 on obese patients and how it can create extra complications.

Obesity: Clinical, Surgical and Practical Guide describes how to best treat and manage individuals with obesity utilizing the latest methodologies. Furthermore, it brings together a large number of international specialists in their field, making it a valuable resource for gastroenterologists, surgeons, researchers, dieticians, physicians, and healthcare providers.

作者簡介

Shamin Iqbal Ahmad obtained his BSc from TNB College, Bhagalpur, MSc in Botany from Patna University, India and his PhD in Molecular Genetics from Leicester University, UK. After 35 years' service as Senior Lecturer and a further 13 years lecturing, he left Nottingham Trent University in 2020.

His research on different areas of molecular biology/genetics extended across more than 30 years with the key area of his research being on DNA damage and repair which resulted in discovery of production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by near UV light of a number of biological and chemical agents and their implications on human health. Other areas of research included thymineless death in bacteria, genetic control of nucleotide catabolism, development of anti-AIDs drugs, control of microbial infection of burns, phages of thermophilic bacteria, and microbial flora after the Chernobyl disaster. He collaborated with the University of Osaka, Japan, and discovered that a number of biologically produced enzymes were able to scavenge ROS. In 2020 he published a paper in the journal, Medical Hypothesis proposing a novel treatment for COVID-19, and in 2021 published about another modified treatment for RNA viruses in his book on Human Viruses, diseases treatment and vaccines.

In 2003 he received a prestigious "Asian Jewel Award" in Britain for "Excellence in Education".

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

Shamin Iqbal Ahmad在印度的Patna大學獲得植物學碩士學位,並在英國的萊斯特大學獲得分子遺傳學博士學位。他在諾丁漢特倫特大學擔任高級講師35年,並在之後的13年繼續講學,於2020年離職。

他的研究涵蓋了分子生物學/遺傳學的不同領域,超過30年的時間。他的主要研究領域是DNA損傷和修復,他發現了生物和化學物質近紫外光產生的活性氧自由基(ROS)以及它們對人類健康的影響。其他研究領域包括細菌的胸腺素死亡、核苷酸降解的基因控制、抗愛滋病藥物的開發、控制燒傷的微生物感染、高溫菌的噬菌體以及切爾諾貝利核災後的微生物菌群。他與日本大阪大學合作,發現了一些生物產生的酶能夠清除ROS。2020年,他在《醫學假設》期刊上發表了一篇關於COVID-19的新型治療方法的論文,並在2021年的《人類病毒、疾病治療和疫苗》一書中發表了關於RNA病毒的另一種改良治療方法。

2003年,他在英國獲得了享有盛譽的「亞洲寶石獎」,以表彰他在教育領域的卓越成就。
