Dr. David Hamerman translates basic scientific concepts into precepts of clinical practice and sheds light on the links among biology, natural aging, longevity, and disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExploring the connections between disease and the science behind it, \u003cem\u003eGeriatric Bioscience\u003c\/em\u003e addresses how mechanisms of inflammation, cytokine expression, and stress responses influence disease and how preventive gerontology in the practice of medicine could compress morbidity. Hamerman also discusses cutting-edge therapies such as cyclo-oxygenases, bisphosphonates, statins, cytokine inhibitors, and hormone therapies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExamining the science of geriatrics and converting its concepts into clinical applications, this groundbreaking work provides clinicians and researchers with a solid foundation for a greater understanding of the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of age-related diseases as well as recommendations for promoting healthy aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Hamerman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801886929\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801886928\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.19h x 6.14w x 0.93d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2008 pg. 112","brand":"David Hamerman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448953778431,"sku":"9780801886928","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e27b1d01-67a4-409e-a14a-56340f5b865b.jpg?v=1777261326","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/geriatric-bioscience-david-hamerman-9780801886928","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
