Description and Table of Contents
Description
The importance of time factors in the diagnosis and treatment of disease is the topic of this book. It looks at the development of the manipulation of some rhythmic processes to optimize response to treatment, and the establishment of chronobiology as a science in its own right. The authors of this book have attempted to cover all those areas of chronobiology of practical interest to the clinician, and those studying physiology, pharmacology and biochemistry.
