Saliva as a unique sample for health assessment is gaining attention among researchers of different fields in the last 20 years; being reflected in an impressive increase in the number of papers published studying saliva from different biological aspects in human and veterinary species. Once deemed merely a digestive juice is now considered a biological fluid capable of communicating information about physiopathological processes occurring in organisms, since saliva has been shown to contain molecular and bacterial compounds that can change in response to local and systemic pathologies. Furthermore, the interest of saliva as a diagnostic, prognostic and monitoring biofluid is forced by its n...
This book represents a guide to the academic, scientific and clinical applications of saliva as a diagnostic fluid. This volume is written by leaders in multiple fields and fulfills a demand for a broad understanding of saliva across a range of disciplines.
Integrated approaches to health address health challenges arising from the intertwined spheres of humans, animals and ecosystems. This eBook is the product of an interdisciplinary effort to establish how One Health, EcoHealth and other integrated approaches to health are conceptualized, framed, implemented and evaluated today. It supplements the handbook for the evaluation of One Health, published by the COST Action “Network for Evaluation of One Health (NEOH)” with in depth reflections on the theory behind integrated approaches to health and One Health more specifically, a brief version of the NEOH evaluation framework, a supplementary evaluation approach, and eight case studies in whic...
We are delighted to present the inaugural Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine "Women in Cardiovascular Epidemiology and Prevention” series of article collections. At present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers. Therefore, Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine is proud to offer this platform to promote the work of women scientists, across all fields of basic and clinical cardiovascular medicine. The work presented here highlights the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of cardiovascular epidemiology and prevention research and presents advances in theory, experiment, and methodology with applications to compelling problems.

Las glándulas salivales son unos órganos importantes para el mantenimiento del equilibrio oral. Se revisan en los distintos apartados las principales alteraciones de las glándulas salivales.Se comienza con la realización de la historia clínica y exploración oral, indicando las ventajas y desventajas de cada uno de los procedimientos. En el siguiente capítulo de trata de las alteraciones del flujo salival destacando la importancia de la xerostomía y sialorrea.Posteriormente se desarrollan en los distintos apartados los trastornos, reactivos, inflamatorios e infecciosos de estas glándulas y por último se dedica un apartado a la patología glandular tumoral.
