About this book

Scurvy once stalked the decks of British ships, striking down sailors and shaping the fate of empires. In the eighteenth century, one man's relentless inquiry changed the course of medical history. James Lind's "A Treatise On The Scurvy" stands as the definitive medical treatise on the causes and cure of this devastating disease-a primary source edition that transformed the understanding of sailor health at sea and the very science of nutrition. Presented here in a complete text edition, Lind's work is both a meticulous investigation and a passionate plea for reason. He explores the nature of scurvy, unravelling its mysteries through careful observation and bold experimentation. His advocacy for citrus as a remedy not only saved countless lives in the Royal Navy, but also laid foundations for nutrition science and the evolution of maritime medicine. For students of medical history, researchers in maritime history, and collectors of classic literature, this volume offers a rare window into the challenges and triumphs of eighteenth-century Britain. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today-a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Whether you are a curious reader, a medical history student, or a lover of 18th-century classics, Lind's treatise remains a cultural treasure-its impact echoing across centuries of discovery.

Inflammation and Natural Products
<p><i>Inflammation and Natural Products </i>brings together research in the area of the natural products and their anti-inflammatory action in medical, nutraceutical and food products, addressing specific chronic inflammatory diseases like cancer and the mechanistic aspects of the mode of action of some key natural products. Inflammation is a complicated process, driven by infection or injury or genetic changes, which results in triggering signalling cascades, activation of transcription factors, gene expression, increased levels of inflammatory enzymes, and release of various oxidants and pro-inflammatory molecules in inflammatory cells. Excessive oxidants and inflammatory mediators have a harmful effect on normal tissue, including toxicity, loss of barrier function, abnormal cell proliferation, inhibiting normal function of tissues and organs and finally leading to systemic disorders. The emerging development of natural product formulations utilizing the unique anti-inflammatory compounds such as polyphenols, polysaccharides, terpenes, fatty acids, proteins and several other bioactive components has shown notable successes. <i>Inflammation and Natural Products: Recent Development and Current Status</i> provides a comprehensive resource, ranging from detailed explanation on inflammation to molecular docking strategies for naturally occurring compounds with anti-inflammatory activity. It is useful for graduate students, academic and professionals in the fields of pharmaceutical and medical sciences and specialists from natural product-related industries.</p>
