β-Glucan is generally considered to be a very safe immunomodulator. It is a well-known biological response modifier (BRM) that has been used as an adjuvant therapy for cancer since 1980 mostly in Japan. β-Glucan enhances the innate host defense against certain bacteria yeast and viral pathogens. I addition glucans are also considered to be important in prophylaxis against irradiation. Various types of glucans are now routinely added both to human and animal food. At least 26 clinical trials are currently under way in several countries. The authors of this ebook have selected and brought together information on both theoretical and practical aspects of β-glucan use. The book is suitable for readers seeking timely and precise information on β-glucan history and various biological effects including possible use in the treatment of various diseases without having any preliminary knowledge of natural immunomodulators. The book should not only provide an inspiration for carbohydrate and clinical chemists for further investigations in biomedicine but it also presents a number of practical applicable results in immunology

Better Life and Business: Cell Brain Mind and Sex Universal Laws is an e-book that defines the fascinating new discipline: BRAINLIFEBIZ . BRAINLIFEBIZ combines new discoveries in neurobiology behavior and medicine with novel concepts related to conscious software programming automation system adaptation module selection self -organization and automatic discovery. In other words BRAINLIFEBIZ is a science of the consciousness bio quantum / random chaos computations self-organized event trains and processes with several conditions (continuous and discrete; without leadership and central control etc.). The goal of BRAINLIFEBIZ is to create a perfect computer model that simulates animal and human behavior in a computerized experimental setting. This volume presents simulations of the firefly cricket katydid frog bird and human prefrontal cortex. The book breaks across the lines that separate scientific disciplines. It explains the global nature of the specific intelligent systems outlined above. These intelligent systems features include learning self- organization fuzzy logic high speed signal processing and process control. These features are employed to generate an intelligence map. The map presents figures and equations curves and data for major ‘Elementary Processes’: aggression mimicry chaos trains pile up attractions courting mating emotion reasoning and consciousness . ‘Elementary Processes’ are then simulated to interact with each other and form millions of complex processes explained by universal laws behind the cell brain mind sex. These laws explain in a new way natural selection and reproductive success in the local and global society and business. These laws can be applied in a variety of situations - from everyday stress-free life to intelligent business decision making but with a solid biomedical and scientific foundation. The theory behind intelligent systems can be viewed as a complement to the genetic DNA code. The brain generates various brain event trains which allow it to store information in dispersed neural networks (biologically speaking in 25 billions of neurons some of which with thousands of synapses dispersed over the cortex). The book explains the fast precise and clear neural diagnostic processas well as the extremely flexible powerful leader mind. Better Life and Business: Cell Brain Mind and Sex Universal Laws is therefore a valuable reference for researchers to the fascinating world of natural and man -made intelligent systems and their applications in business situations and personal lives..
