A conceptual pillar like homeostasis is contrasted  with instability and a continuous interaction of opposing mechanisms  that have negative and positive feedback characteristics, and is  considered to subserve the multitude of patterns pertaining to  physiology. However, in pathophysiological conditions the final design  is most often replaced by largely purposeless neural mechanisms. \u003cbr\u003e  The complexity of cardiovascular neural regulation, reflected by the  state of sympathovagal balance, is also assessed in the frequency  domain. Power spectrum analysis of heart rate and arterial pressure  variability, a sophisticated but simply explained approach, provides  an unprecedented tool to evaluate this interaction in both  physiological and pathophysiological conditions. The elementary  characteristics of nonlinear dynamics are also outlined. Finally, the  need for an ethical structure for science and medicine is analyzed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461369714\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-4383-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 222\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358935543948,"sku":"9781461369714","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461369714.jpg?v=1776431096","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461369714","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
