I am especially thankful to the expert contributors for making this collection a unique addition to the existing knowledge base. I sincerely thank Dr. Naren Aggarwal, Executive Editor, Clinical Medicine, Springer (India) Private Limited, for giving me opportunity to present this book to the readers. I also thank Teena Bedi, Associate Editor (Clinical Medicine), Springer (India) Private Limited and Mr. Kumar Athiappan, Project Coordinator (Books), Springer Nature, for their support during the publication process.
I am grateful to Professor Ram Kripal, Department of Physics, University of Allahabad; Prof. Raja Ram Yadav, Vice-Chancellor, V.B.S. Purvanchal University, Jaunpur; Dr. A. D. M. David, Principal, Ewing Christian College, Allahabad; and my colleagues for their constant encouraging remarks and suggestions during the development of this volume.
I could complete this task with the blessings of my parents. My brother Dr. Arun K. Shukla, Department of Biological Sciences and Bioengineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, has suggested the best in many ways and words are insufficient to thank him. I wish to thank my wife Dr. Neelam Shukla, my daughter Nidhi, and son Animesh for their patience during the progress of this work.
