Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy, Volume 99, provides an in-depth accounting of progress in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and its many applications. Specific chapters in this new release include Recent Developments in the accurate measurement of NMR Transverse Relaxation Times, NMR Studies of the Binding and Dynamics of Ionic Liquids with Proteins, Recent Developments in 1HNMR Relaxometry, Solid State 19F NMR Studies of Oriented Peptides, and Applications of Nuclides other than 1H and 13C in Solid State NMR Studies of Pharmaceuticals.

Insulin Resistance as a Risk Factor in Visceral and Neurological Disorders provides an overview on the risk factors for insulin resistance in visceral and neurological disorders. The book focuses on molecular mechanisms and signal transduction processes associated with the links. The comprehensive information in this monograph will not only help in the early detection of insulin resistance related visceral and neurological disorders, but also promote the discovery of new drugs which may block or delay onset in elderly patients. Understanding these processes is important not only for patients, caregivers and health professionals, but also for health policymakers who must plan for national resources.

Tumor Vascularization discusses the different types of growth of tumor blood vessels and their implications on research and healthcare. The book is divided into three parts: the first one, General Mechanisms, discusses different vessel growth mechanisms, such as sprouting angiogenesis, non-angiogenesis dependent growth, intussusceptive microvascular growth, vascular co-option and vasculogenic mimicry. The second and third parts, entitled Clinical Implications and Therapeutic Implications are dedicated to translating recent findings in this field to patient treatment and healthcare. This book is a valuable source for cancer researchers, oncologists, graduate students and members of the biomedical field who are interested in tumor progression and blood vessels.
