Introducing Existential Health unfolds this evolving concept and places it in the context of common understandings of health. It presents existential health as a vital dimension in understanding human well-being, complementing the traditional biopsychosocial model. It critiques reductionist and mechanistic views of health and showcases a new four- dimensional model in healthcare practice and design that integrates biological, psychological, social, and existential dimensions. Presented as a valid alternative to the biopsychosocial model, it provides modern system thinking and a holistic understanding centred around meaning and the first- person perspective to give a voice to intersectional discourses and encourage equality in health.The book traces the historical evolution of health understandings, highlighting the gaps in addressing subjective and existential perspectives. It examines existential health through various lenses, including meaning- making, subjective experiences, and emp

This reference book provides a comprehensive overview of models and therapeutic approaches against neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It explores models based on the chemical, induced, cellular, genetic, transgenic, and 3D organoid approaches in neurodegenerative diseases. The book also reviews advantages and limitations of these models in designing the treatment strategies. Additionally, the book covers the emerging field of bioinformatics and its application in modeling various neurodegenerative diseases. Towards the end, the book highlights the role of holistic management, precision medicine, OMICS, and gene therapy against neurodegenerative disorders. It examines the implications and significance of stem cells therapy in translational models of neurodegenerative diseases. This book is an invaluable resource for researchers, neuroscientists, and neurosurgeons for getting in-depth in
