The Role of Health Literacy in Major Healthcare Crises
Vassilios Papalois
The COVID-19 pandemic clearly shows the vital role of accurate and reliable information in public health. Health literacy addresses not only patient needs but also the needs of the general population, who must not only comply with advice and instructions but also understand the severity of health crises and respond accordingly. A variety of crises imposed on healthcare systems constantly arise ranging from pandemics to natural catastrophes, terrorist attacks, and outbreaks of illnesses. In addition, there are crises within the healthcare systems, such as a lack of resources and an appropriate workforce. Crises in healthcare systems that are not efficiently dealt with may result in inefficiencies and inequalities in health provision. The Role of Health Literacy in Major Healthcare Crises examines the role of health literacy not only in informing the public but also in building a culture of cooperation between the healthcare systems and their users. The book also investigates the role of communication strategies and educational activities of multiple agencies at local, national, and global levels and explores ethical issues associated with healthcare crises and how they are negotiated in health campaigns. Covering key topics such as digital media, health information, and e-health, this premier reference source is ideal for healthcare professionals, nurses, policymakers, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.

Physiology and Function of Glial Cells in Health and Disease
Bilal El-Mansoury
Glial cells, including microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and their progenitors NG2-glia, serve as key players in maintaining structural integrity and complex brain homeostasis. They actively participate in neurotransmission, energy metabolism, synaptic plasticity, neurogenesis, ion balance, immune defense, and the clearance of neuronal debris. However, the physiological functions of glial cells are often compromised in aging, neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS, and multiple sclerosis, as well as in gliomas, brain tumors demanding specialized understanding for effective therapeutic interventions. Physiology and Function of Glial Cells in Health and Disease provides a comprehensive exploration of the vital role played by glial cells in maintaining neural homeostasis within the central nervous system (CNS). This book delves into the intricate interaction between glial cells and neurons, shedding light on their essential contributions to neural function and overall brain health. The book also highlights emerging research on astrocyte reprogramming for the management of neurodegenerative diseases, offering a glimpse into potential future therapies. This book is an essential resource for researchers, clinicians, and students in the field of neuroscience.

Experimental and Clinical Evidence of the Neuropathology of Parkinson's Disease
Ahmed Draoui
Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder in the world after Alzheimer's disease. Thanks to the pioneering works of Arvid Carlson in the 20th century identifying dopamine as the main neurochemical agent involved in Parkinson's disease's onset and progress, our understanding of the neuropathology has increased. The elaboration of L-Dopa as the first pharmacological treatment approach has brought new hope for curing or at least slowing the neurodegenerative progress and the decline of motor and cognitive functions in Parkinson's disease patients. To date, imaging techniques along with genetic and biochemical tools have allowed scientists and clinicians to predict and diagnose the disease several years prior to the motor disorder's appearance. Experimental and Clinical Evidence of the Neuropathology of Parkinson's Disease sheds light on the history of Parkinson's disease as well as the recent literature on the epidemiological data worldwide including the prevalence of the disease, the morbimortality rates, and the sex dimorphism and aging components. It addresses the current neuropathological evidence of Parkinson's disease, including the latest discoveries in terms of neuropathology and treatments available or under clinical trials with the efficacy and limitations of each. Covering topics such as epidemiology, stem cells, and neuropathology, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for clinicians, physicians, epidemiologists, neuroscientists, microbiologists, biochemists, pharmacologists, toxicologists, medical professionals, nurses, medical students and educators, librarians, researchers, and academicians.
