Hepatitis is a term that refers to inflammation of the liver, a vital organ responsible for over 500 essential functions in the human body. These include processing nutrients, filtering toxins from the blood, and producing proteins necessary for blood clotting. When the liver becomes inflamed or damaged, these critical functions are compromised, often leading to serious health consequences. Hepatitis can arise from a variety of causes, including viral infections, excessive alcohol consumption, certain medications, and autoimmune disorders. Among the most common causes of hepatitis are viruses, which account for the five primary types of the disease: hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. Each of these types has distinct modes of transmission, risk factors, and health outcomes. Some forms of hepatitis, like hepatitis A, are acute and self-limiting, while others, such as hepatitis B and C, can become chronic, leading to long-term complications like liver cirrhosis and cancer. The global impact of hepatitis is staggering, with millions of new cases reported annually and countless individuals living with chronic liver disease. This book aims to provide a comprehensive guide to understanding, preventing, and managing hepatitis and related liver conditions. Whether you are seeking to protect yourself and your loved ones through preventative measures, coping with a recent diagnosis, or managing chronic liver disease, this resource is designed to offer practical advice, clear explanations, and up-to-date medical insights.Show book
A rich, sweeping, and compelling work of botanical history, The Cabaret of Plants explores dozens of plant species that for millennia have challenged our imaginations, awoken our wonder, and upturned our ideas about history, science, beauty, and belief. Going back to the beginnings of human history, Richard Mabey shows how flowers, trees, and plants have been central to human experience not just as sources of food and medicine but as objects of worship, actors in creation myths, and symbols of war and peace, life and death. Mabey takes listeners from the Himalayas to Madagascar to the Amazon to our own backyards. He ranges through the work of writers, artists, and scientists and across nearly 40,000 years of human history: Ice Age images of plant life in ancient cave art and the earliest representations of the Garden of Eden; Newton's apple and gravity, Priestley's sprig of mint and photosynthesis, and Wordsworth's daffodils; the history of cultivated plants such as maize, ginseng, and cotton; and the ways the sturdy oak became the symbol of British nationhood and the giant sequoia came to epitomize the spirit of America.Show book
SHORTLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE AND THE HESSELL-TILTMAN PRIZEA journey told through stories and songs into Doggerland, the ancient region that once joined the east coast of England to Holland. Time Song tells of the creation, the existence and the loss of a country now called Doggerland, a huge and fertile area that once connected the entire east coast of England with mainland Europe, until it was finally submerged by rising sea levels around 5000 BC. Blackburn mixes fragments from her own life with a series of eighteen 'songs' and all sorts of stories about the places and the people she meets in her quest to get closer to an understanding of Doggerland. She sees the footprints of early humans fossilised in the soft mud of an estuary alongside the scattered pockmarks made by rain falling eight thousand years ago. She visits a cave where the remnants of a Neanderthal meal have turned to stone. In Denmark she sits beside Tollund Man who seems to be about to wake from a dream, even though he has lain in a peat bog since the start of the Iron Age.Show book
