    ::Summary## Abdominal Ultrasound for Surgeons provides a comprehensive guide to the use of ultrasonography in surgical practice of abdominal diseases. The content is divided into three major sections focusing on basic principles of ultrasound, ultrasound anatomy and pathology of the abdomen, and employment of ultrasound of the abdomen in surgical practice. A final section is dedicated to the logistics of incorporating ultrasound into a surgical practice. The first section provides an introduction to the principles of ultrasonography focusing on ultrasound physics, equipment, and instrumentation. A detailed approach to the various scanning methods and image interpretation is demonstrated with illustrations, images, and video. The second section focuses on ultrasound anatomy of the abdomen. Each chapter demonstrates the normal and abnormal ultrasound anatomy of specific abdominal organ or organ systems (abdominal wall, liver, pancreas, biliary, stomach, anorectum, retroperitoneum, vascular) with illustrations and images. The current status and technique of endoscopic ultrasound of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tracks is addressed in this section. The third section provides a state-of-the-art review of the status of each major application of abdominal ultrasound in surgery. Topics range from trauma ultrasound and laparoscopic staging to techniques in ultrasound guidance and three-dimensional targeting. This section provides a comprehensive review of the employment of interventional, intraoperative, laparoscopic, transabdominal and endoscopic ultrasound. The fourth and last section addresses the practice aspects of incorporation of ultrasound into a surgical practice. Abdominal Ultrasound for Surgeons will serve as a very useful resource and guide for surgeons and students with little to some experience in ultrasound, including practicing surgeons, surgical fellows, and surgical residents.

    ::Summary## This book presents different patient-oriented perspectives from surgeons, economic evaluation and management researchers, and business companies active in the healthcare sector, striking a balance between the appropriateness/effectiveness of treatment and efficiency/cost. It does not include technical surgical details, but instead provides the necessary knowledge regarding different groups of patients to help economic and management researchers make accurate evaluations. Although partially based on the specific case of abdominal wall surgery in the Italian health system, the book defines a model that can, with the necessary adaptations, be applied in other national contexts. It also analyzes different reimbursement systems and methods of data collection. This approach supports the evolution form evidence-based medicine (EBM) to the future of real-world data (big data analysis). Further, it highlights the critical issue of "silos" reimbursement, which is the pillar of DRG, and proposes methodology to evaluate the direct and indirect benefit and costs of surgery (for example quality of care, costs incurred in cases of surgical complications due to the use of inappropriate, low-cost material or due to surgical procedure.

    ::Summary## The natural environment for plants is composed of a complex set of abiotic and biotic stresses; plant responses to these stresses are equally complex. Systems biology allows us to identify regulatory hubs in complex networks. It also examines the molecular "parts" (transcripts, proteins and metabolites) of an organism and attempts to combine them into functional networks or models that effectively describe and predict the dynamic activities of that organism in different environments. This book focuses on research advances regarding plant responses to abiotic stresses, from the physiological level to the molecular level. It highlights new insights gained from the integration of omics datasets and identifies remaining gaps in our knowledge, outlining additional focus areas for future crop improvement research. Plants have evolved a wide range of mechanisms for coping with various abiotic stresses. In many crop plants, the molecular mechanisms involved in a single type of stress tolerance have since been identified; however, in order to arrive at a holistic understanding of major and common events concerning abiotic stresses, the signaling pathways involved must also be elucidated. To date several molecules, like transcription factors and kinases, have been identified as promising candidates that are involved in crosstalk between stress signalling pathways. However, there is a need to better understand the tolerance mechanisms for different abiotic stresses by thoroughly grasping the signalling and sensing mechanisms involved. Accordingly, this book covers a range of topics, including the impacts of different abiotic stresses on plants, the molecular mechanisms leading to tolerance for different abiotic stresses, signaling cascades revealing cross-talk among various abiotic stresses, and elucidation of major candidate molecules that may provide abiotic stress tolerance in plants.<br/>::Contents##<br/>"Omics" : a gateway towards abiotic stress tolerance<br/>Second messengers : central regulators in plant abiotic stress response<br/>Signaling peptides : hidden molecular messengers of abiotic stress perception and response in plants<br/>Reactive oxygen species (ROS) : a way to stress survival in plants<br/>Role of cuticular wax in adaptation to abiotic stress : a molecular perspective<br/>Abiotic stress response in plants : a cis-regulatory perspective<br/>Multifarious role of ROS in halophytes : signaling and defense<br/>Enhancing cold tolerance in horticultural plants using in vitro approaches<br/>Omics-based strategies for improving salt tolerance in Maize (Zea mays L.)<br/>Drought stress tolerance in wheat : omics approaches in understanding and enhancing antioxidant defense<br/>Signalling during cold stress and its interplay with transcriptional regulation<br/>Cross talk between phytohormone signaling pathways under abiotic stress conditions and their metabolic engineering for conferring abiotic stress tolerance.

    ::Summary## "Urodynamics has two basic aims: To reproduce the patient's symptomatic complaints while making key observations. To provide a pathophysiological explanation by correlating the patient's symptoms with the urodynamic findings. These two basic aims are crucial to the purpose of urodynamics - essentially it is a diagnostic test that will aid in the management of patients. The need to make urodynamic observations reflects the fact that the patient's symptoms are important, but they might be somewhat misleading. Most patients with lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) present to their doctor with symptoms. However, lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS - Table 1) should not simply be taken at face value, since a range of differing mechanisms may result in rather similar symptomatic presentations. The statement "the bladder is an unreliable witness" (1) reflects how symptoms are the starting point, but do not actually identify the ultimate explanation. Since treatment should correct the underlying cause, it is necessary to identify mechanisms, avoiding assumption or prejudice coming from taking symptoms at face value. An excellent example of this is voiding LUTS in men, where the cause on urodynamic testing may prove to be bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and/or detrusor underactivity (DUA); BOO should respond fully to surgery to relieve obstruction such as transurethral resection of prostate (TURP), while such surgery is potentially not helpful in the second (2). Voiding LUTS in males are of unreliable diagnostic value, and only slow stream and hesitancy show any correlation with the urodynamic findings of BOO (3-5). Even with flow rate assessment, one cannot be sure whether BOO is present [Figure 1.1]. The difficulty of assessing LUTD by symptoms alone is the uncertainty about establishing truly what is going on in the individual describing them"-- Provided by publisher<br/>::Contents##<br/>Basic urodynamics and fundamental issues / Marcus Drake, Andrew Gammie, Laura Thomas, Arturo Garcia, Hashim Hashim<br/>Applied Anatomy and Physiology / Chendrimada Madhu and Marcus Drake<br/>The Physics of Urodynamic Measurements / Andrew Gammie<br/>Patient Assessment / Musaab Yassin, Alan Uren, Nikki Cotterill<br/>Treatments for Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction / Sharon Yeo, Hashim Hashim<br/>Uroflowmetry / Amit Mevcha, Richard Napier-Hemy<br/>Cystometry and pressure-flow studies / Marcus Drake, Rachel Tindle, Su-Min Lee<br/>Videourodynamics / Marcus Drake, Michelle Ong, Devang Desai, Michel Wyndaele, Mark Woodward, Hashim Hashim<br/>Ambulatory Urodynamics / Julie Ellis-Jones, Wendy Bevan, Dharmesh Kapoor, Marcus Drake<br/>Studies assessing urethral pressures / Dharmesh Kapoor and Marcus Drake<br/>Non-invasive urodynamics / Alison Bray, Christopher Blake, Christopher Harding<br/>Urodynamics in Children / Jonathan S.

    ::Summary## "The seventh biennial Harrison Survey, jointly sponsored by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) and the Society for Academic Continuing Medical Education (SACME), documents an academic enterprise that displays three major characteristics, somewhat in opposition to its traditional image as an isolated, passive educational entity. First, continuing medical education/ continuing professional development (CME/CPD) is increasingly integrated into the functions and missions of academic medical centers, academic health systems, and medical schools of the United States and Canada. Second, it demonstrates numerous examples of innovation and scholarship in educational design and operation. Finally, possibly as a result of the first two elements, there is an increased focus on assessing the impact of CME/CPD activities on learner competence, performance, and health care outcomes. The purpose of the survey is to help identify and understand the placement and alignment of the CME/CPD unit within the academic medical center (AMC). Survey findings will benefit those in the CME/CPD field who can use the data to assess and enhance the shape and scope of CME/CPD and who will share the information with AMC leaders, including deans, CEOs, and others. The survey generates broad but important findings for discussion and analysis in three areas: CME/CPD's structure, its function relative to relationships and educational methods, and its scope, reach, and impact. Throughout this report, data from the last Harrison Survey in 2013 are used for comparative purposes"--Executive summary.<br/>::Contents##<br/>Executive summary<br/>Background and methods<br/>Section 1: Survey response rate and responder characteristics<br/>Section 2: Structural elements of CME/CPD in the academic medical center<br/>Section 3: Function of academic CME/CPD in the health care system<br/>Section 4: Reach, scope, and impact of CME/CPD programming<br/>Section 5: Discussion: structure, function, impact, and direction of academic CME.

    ::Summary## This volume deals with philosophically grounded theories of animal generation as found in two different traditions: one, deriving primarily from Aristotelian natural philosophy and specifically from his Generation of Animals; and another, deriving from two related medical traditions, the Hippocratic and the Galenic. The book contains a classification and critique of works that touch on the history of embryology and animal generation written before 1980. It also contains translations of key sections of the works on which it is focused. It looks at two different scholarly communities: the physicians (medici) and philosophers (philosophi), that share a set of textual resources and philosophical lineages, as well as a shared problem (explaining animal generation), but that nevertheless have different concerns and commitments. The book demonstrates how those working in these two traditions not only shared a common philosophical background in the arts curricula of the universities, but were in constant intercourse with each other.0This book presents a test case of how scholarly communities differentiate themselves from each other through methods of argument, empirical investigation, and textual interpretations. It is all the more interesting because the two communities under investigation have so much in common and yet, in the end, are distinct in a number of important ways.

    ::Summary## Accelerated Path to Cures provides a transformative perspective on the power of combining advanced computational technologies, modeling, bioinformatics and machine learning approaches with nonclinical and clinical experimentation to accelerate drug development. This book discusses the application of advanced modeling technologies, from target identification and validation to nonclinical studies in animals to Phase 1-3 human clinical trials and post-approval monitoring, as alternative models of drug development. As a case of successful integration of computational modeling and drug development, we discuss the development of oral small molecule therapeutics for inflammatory bowel disease, from the application of docking studies to screening new chemical entities to the development of next-generation in silico human clinical trials from large-scale clinical data. Additionally, this book illustrates how modeling techniques, machine learning, and informatics can be utilized effectively at each stage of drug development to advance the progress towards predictive, preventive, personalized, precision medicine, and thus provide a successful framework for Path to Cures.<br/>::Contents##<br/>Intro; Contents; Contributors<br/>Chapter 1: Introduction to Accelerated Path to Cures and Precision Medicine in Inflammatory Bowel Disease; Overview; LANCL2 Drug Development Use Case; Network Modeling for PD Biomarker Analyses Use Case; References<br/>Chapter 2: Computer-Aided Drug Discovery; Overview; Structure-Based Versus Ligand-Based Modeling; Ligand-Based Modeling Approaches; Similarity Searching; Ligand-Based Pharmacophore Modeling; Quantitative-Structure Activity Relationship Modeling (QSAR); Structure-Based Modeling Approaches; Molecular Docking; Structure-Based Pharmacophore Modeling.

    ::Summary## "Beyond simulation and algorithm development, many developers increasingly use MATLAB even for product deployment in computationally heavy fields. This often demands that MATLAB codes run faster by leveraging the distributed parallelism of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). While MATLAB successfully provides high-level functions as a simulation tool for rapid prototyping, the underlying details and knowledge needed for utilizing GPUs make MATLAB users hesitate to step into it. Accelerating MATLAB with GPUs offers a primer on bridging this gap. Starting with the basics, setting up MATLAB for CUDA (in Windows, Linux and Mac OS X) and profiling, it then guides users through advanced topics such as CUDA libraries. The authors share their experience developing algorithms using MATLAB, C++ and GPUs for huge datasets, modifying MATLAB codes to better utilize the computational power of GPUs, and integrating them into commercial software products. Throughout the book, they demonstrate many example codes that can be used as templates of C-MEX and CUDA codes for readers' projects.

    ::Summary## "The use of venous access devices (VADs) is central to the care that nurses provide to patients with cancer. Oncology nurses must base their practice on evidence-based research when available, but a lack of evidence has been a professional challenge for decades. With limited research to guide practice, ongoing controversies remain regarding optimal device management. Since 1989, the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) has provided guidelines to establish a foundation for access device management. With this new text, ONS has identified practice standards, developed from a synthesis of evidence, critical review, and analysis of aspects of access device management for which nursing is accountable. Access Device Standards of Practice for Oncology Nursing reviews the controversies in access device care, explores the range of devices currently available, details the advantages and disadvantages of each device to ensure optimal selection based on patient needs, and discusses the key legal ramifications concerning access devices and their management. With access device technology becoming more complex, this text is an essential resource for nurses practicing in a wide range of settings to ensure safe, effective care of patients with VADs."--Publisher's description.<br/>::Contents##<br/>Access device standards, recommendations, and controversies<br/>Short-term peripheral intravenous catheters<br/>Midline catheters<br/>Nontunneled central venous lines<br/>Peripherally inserted central catheters<br/>Tunneled central venous catheters<br/>Implanted venous ports<br/>Apheresis catheters<br/>Complications of long-term venous access devices<br/>Subcutaneous infusion devices<br/>Arterial access devices<br/>Intraventricular access devices<br/>Epidural and intrathecal access devices<br/>Intraperitoneal catheters<br/>Pleural catheters<br/>Ambulatory infusion pumps<br/>Education, documentation, and legal issues for access devices.

    ::Summary## "The idea of person-centred health systems is widely advocated in political and policy declarations to better address health system challenges. A person-centred approach is advocated on political, ethical and instrumental grounds and believed to benefit service users, health professionals and the health system more broadly. However, there is continuing debate about the strategies that are available and effective to promote and implement 'personcentred' approaches. This book brings together the world's leading experts in the field to present the evidence base and analyse current challenges and issues. It examines 'person-centredness' from the different roles people take in health systems, as individual service users, care managers, taxpayers or active citizens. The evidence presented will not only provide invaluable policy advice to practitioners and policymakers working on the design and implementation of person-centred health systems but will also be an excellent resource for academics and graduate students researching health systems in Europe"-- Provided by publisher.<br/>::Contents##<br/>The person at the centre of health systems : an introduction<br/>Person-centredness : exploring its evolution and meaning in the health system context<br/>Person-centred health systems : strategies, drivers and impacts<br/>Achieving person-centred health systems : levers and strategies<br/>Community participation in health systems development<br/>Patient and public involvement in research<br/>Listening to People : measuring views, experiences and perceptions<br/>Choosing providers<br/>Choosing payers : can insurance competition strengthen person-centred care?<br/>The service user as manager of care : the role of direct payments and personal budgets<br/>Choosing treatments and the role of shared decision-making<br/>The person at the centre? : the role of self-management and self-management support<br/>Patients' rights : from recognition to implementation.

    ::Summary## Dermatologists commonly treat acne, which affects 40 to 50 million Americans each year and about 85 percent of all patients at some point in their lives. Dermatologists, primary care doctors, and pediatricians see these patients every day in practice. It is important to treat the skin effectively not only to reduce the risk of physical scarring, but also to address the negative psychosocial impact this disease carries. Improving the skin can improve self-confidence, interpersonal relationships, and performance in school or at work. Acneiform Eruptions in Dermatology is a practical, full-color guide to the differential diagnosis of acne vulgaris and the treatment of acne-like conditions. It is organized into sections by subtype of condition (e.g., infections, genetic syndromes, medication-caused) and includes a section of variants of acne that may be misdiagnosed. Within the sections, individual chapters discuss each variant of the condition and begin with a helpful bulleted summary of its defining clinical features. Extensive color clinical images appear throughout the book.<br/>::Contents##<br/>Section 1. Acne Vulgaris<br/>1. Acne Pathophysiology<br/>2. Clinical Presentation of Acne<br/>3.

    ::Summary## Neglected finger injuries may lead to chronic lesions that often have detrimental consequences for the practice of a ball sport, whether at a recreational level or at the top athlete level. The initial injury management is crucial. Depending on the type and the severity of the lesions, different people may get involved: the players themselves or their entourage, physiotherapists, club doctors, emergency physicians, family doctors, sports doctors or hand surgeons. Treatment is usually conservative: the long fingers require rapid mobilization to prevent stiffness and contrary to that, the thumb requires stability. Surgery may be necessary to reach these goals especially for athletes, because of the demands of their sport. Chronic lesions are also in part related to repeated trauma, requiring specialized long-term multidisciplinary treatment. They can often lead to the end of a sporting career, but also may limit the functionality of the fingers at the time of conversion.<br/>::Contents##<br/>Ball sports<br/>Functional anatomy<br/>Hand functional anatomy<br/>Examination of the injured hand<br/>Radiological investigations<br/>Severe Hand Injuries<br/>Management of hand and finger injuries<br/>Acute finger injuries<br/>Chronic finger injuries<br/>Small joints arthroscopy<br/>Complications associated with hand surgery<br/>Rehabilitation<br/>The disabled athlete in ball sports<br/>Opinions.

    ::Summary## This is a comprehensive practical guide to the practice of the new subspecialty of critical care echocardiography. The text covers all aspects of clinical practice and describes how to use transthoracic echocardiography to approach and manage common clinical questions. Specific emphasis is placed on the appropriate use of clinical echocardiographic data in the context of the patient's critical illness; this is illustrated by the frequent use of case studies including both still and moving echocardiographic images. The text covers assessment of, and disorders affecting, the left and right heart, including shock and sepsis. It also looks at how to interpret diastolic information during critical illness and the effect of that illness on valve disease and function. The important subject of fluid responsiveness is explored in detail, as is the influence of organ support and illness on the diagnosis of cardiac tamponade. The information given in the text is summarized using algorithms in a field guide for the critical care echocardiographer, which also provides a rapid guide to assessing time-critical patient presentations.

    ::Summary## Acute Care General Surgery provides a succinct focused overview of a myriad of general surgical emergencies. Each chapter has a concise, practical framework on the workup and management of a specific topic. The book covers a wide array of pathology from the more common appendicitis, diverticulitis and cholecystitis to those less frequently encountered such as toxic megacolon, Fournier's gangrene and volvulus. Learning objectives for each chapter are clearly defined. In addition to differential diagnosis, the work up and management is comprehensively discussed. In addition, a pithy clinical pearl is included to serve as a memory aid for each diagnosis. Upon reviewing this volume, clinicians who encounter the acute care surgical patient in their practices will be better equipped to rapidly assess, evaluate, diagnose and managing their complex and often challenging problems.<br/>::Contents##<br/>Appendiceal Mucocele<br/>Aute Appendicitis<br/>Colonic Volvulus<br/>Acute Cholecystitis/Biliary Disease<br/>Diverticulitis of the Colon<br/>Enterocutaneous Fistula<br/>Fournier's Gangrene<br/>Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding<br/>Lower Gastrointestinal Bleeding<br/>Acute Anorectal Emergencies<br/>Incarcerated Groin Hernias<br/>Intussusception<br/>Meckel's Diverticulitis<br/>Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infections<br/>Pancreatic Pseudocysts<br/>Paraesophageal Hernia<br/>Pneumobilia<br/>Pneumoperitoneum<br/>Portal Venous Gas<br/>Small Bowel Diverticulitis<br/>Small Bowel Obstruction<br/>Small Bowel Perforation<br/>Toxic Megacolon<br/>Acute Pancreatitis<br/>Peptic Ulcer Disease.

    ::Summary## This book reviews the common clinical scenarios that might trigger emergent consultation for neurosurgical intervention, with attention to key components of the clinical interview and exam, optimal diagnostic evaluation, indications for and the goals of operative intervention, perioperative considerations, and strategies for complication mitigation. This is not a surgical atlas, but rather, a road map for the journey to the operating room door. The intent is to establish a systematic, evidence-based action plan for the patient presenting in neurologic crisis. Each chapter opens with a relevant case vignette and then unfolds through uniform sections to tell the story of how one might approach the disease entity in question, from initial request for consultation to definitive management, highlighting steps of the decision-making process. Each chapter is punctuated by 3-5 teaching pearls, summarizing these key elements. The overall goal is to create a framework for assessment that might be applied in the emergency department, the trauma bay, or the ICU when a neurologic emergency arises. The scope encompasses not only cranial and spinal trauma, but also entities such as shunt failure, stroke, aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, pituitary apoplexy, cauda equina syndrome, and central nervous system infection that might require time-sensitive intervention. An additional section addresses issues requiring emergent neurosurgical response in the ICU setting, including sudden neurologic worsening, status epilepticus, and abnormal clotting/ coagulopathy. .

    ::Summary## This book presents up-to-date information on the clinical-pathophysiological features of acute renal injury and discusses the KDIGO diagnostic criteria, as well as novel experimental findings, including in the area of regenerative medicine. It also highlights the clinical-pathophysiological importance of AKI in clinical settings, including differential diagnoses and management of AKI. In the past, the pathology associated with sudden renal impairment was characterized as acute renal failure (ARF). However, in the 2000s, the joint efforts of specialists in fields including nephrology, intensive care medicine, and cardiovascular medicine led to the introduction of a novel concept known as acute kidney injury (AKI). As medical care progressed, patients such as high-risk elderly subjects who were not deemed to be candidates for invasive therapy came to be treated in intensive care units (ICUs). As a result, kidney injury as a subset of multiple organ failure was re-considered as AKI, especially in intensive care medicine. AKI was then proposed as a novel disease concept to emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and early intervention to improve prognosis. Presenting novel features, such as the definition of AKI, risk factors and management; biomarkers, such as neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and L-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP); long-term outcomes of AKI; as well as renal regeneration using iPS cell, manipulation of embryonic genes, and Xenotransplanted embryonic kidney, this book is of interest to all physicians and researchers in this field around the globe.<br/>::Contents##<br/>Part 1 Diagnosis and risk factors of AKI<br/>Definition and epidemiology of AKI<br/>Cause of AKI (prerenal, renal, postrenal)<br/>Pathophysiology of AKI<br/>Diagnosis of AKI (clinical assessment, novel biomarkers)<br/>Risk factors for AKI development in surgery<br/>Risk factors for AKI development in heart failure<br/>7.

    ::Summary## Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and the incidence is predicted to increase with the aging population Several clinical disorders can initiate ARDS, including pneumonia, sepsis, gastric aspiration and trauma but despite intense research over the past 40 years, we still have an incomplete understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease and treatment remains largely supportive. This book provides an overview of acute lung injury and repair, describes current animal models to study lung injury and reviews current methodologies to study and measure lung injury and repair. Special emphasis is given to state of the art techniques and methods and relevance to human disease. Acute Lung Injury and Repair: Scientific Fundamentals and Methods is a useful resource for physicians and scientists who are interested in experimental model systems for insight into ARDS pathogenesis and treatment strategies. ​

    ::Summary## Emergency General Surgery has become a cornerstone of Acute Care Surgery over the past decade. Once the scope of community general surgeons, the growing complexity of patients with acute surgical diseases has increasingly driven their care to tertiary referral centers. The aging population confounds this problem further as these patients present with more complex comorbidities, life-threatening physiology, and progressively severe anatomic disease severity. To ensure better outcomes, the practice has evolved to focus on evidence-based practice management guidelines in order to standardize care and optimize outcomes. This text provides a comprehensive volume for any surgeon who treats patients with acute surgical diseases. The first section is a comprehensive analysis of the background of Emergency General Surgery. The goal of this section is to provide the reader background into the acute surgical practice and to introduce the reader to the important concepts discussed in the remainder of the text. The second section discuss specific acute surgical diseases. Individual chapters outline the diagnostic approach, current treatment standards, operative approaches, and expected outcomes with an emphasis on practice management guideline implementation into practice. As acute surgical diseases and surgical critical care are integral to each other, the last section will be Critical Care for the Acute Care Surgeon. These topics focus on the critical care concepts essential to surgeons who care for acute diseases. This comprehensive text is targeted to any surgeon who takes emergency calls for any of the listed diseases including community and referral general and vascular surgeons. In addition, this would be an excellent resource for all general surgery residents. Lastly, this would also serve as a resource to intensivists who care for acute surgical patients.<br/>::Contents##<br/>History and Evolution of Emergency General Surgery<br/>Examination of the Acute Abdomen<br/>Development of the AAST Disease Severity Stratification System<br/>Infectious Disease Considerations<br/>Primer on Practice Management Guidelines<br/>Concepts in Emergency Research (Exception from Informed Consent)<br/>Inter-hospital Transfers of Emergency General Surgery Patients<br/>Emergency General Surgery as a Team Sport<br/>Small Bowel Obstruction<br/>Large Bowel Obstruction<br/>Abdominal Wall Hernias<br/>Acute Cholecystitis<br/>Appendicitis<br/>Acute Colonic Diverticulitis<br/>Intestinal Ischemia<br/>Perforated Peptic Ulcer<br/>Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage<br/>Complications of Acute Pancreatitis<br/>Acute and Chronic Enterocutaneous Fistula Management<br/>Soft Tissue Infection<br/>Perirectal Abscess<br/>Sepsis Resuscitation<br/>Hemorrhage Resuscitation<br/>Ventilator Management<br/>Nutrition Considerations<br/>Geriatrics and End of Life Care.

    ::Summary## This book, written by a team of leading experts, provides a comprehensive overview of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the most frequent acute leukemia in adults. The opening chapters present current knowledge of epidemiology, etiologic factors, and the pathogenesis and molecular development of AML. Detailed guidance is offered on laboratory and clinical diagnostic workup and disease classification, and the patient- and disease-related factors that determine prognosis and treatment allocation are identified. On the basis of these general considerations, initial treatments in patients considered fit for intensive treatment and in older and co-morbid patients are reviewed, and the available relapse treatment strategies, explained. For all clinical scenarios, the most recent data on the optimal use of newly approved agents in different AML subgroups are presented. Separate chapters address the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia, current practice of allogeneic stem cell transplantation, and special clinical situations. Finally, promising approaches in drug development, current standards and challenges in assessment of measurable residual disease, immune approaches, and ideas for innovative trial designs are considered.<br/>::Contents##<br/>1.

    ::Summary## This book is the result of a convergence of scientific information regarding mechanisms that produce acute nerve cell death in the brain. Although seemingly disparate, stroke, brain and spinal cord trauma, coma from a low serum glucose concentration (hypoglycemia), and prolonged epileptic seizures have in common the inciting factor of excitotoxicity, the activation of a specific subtype of glutamate receptor by an elevated extracellular glutamate concentration that results in an excessive influx of calcium into nerve cells. The high calcium concentration in nerve cells activates several enzymes that are responsible for degradation of cytoplasmic proteins and cleavage of nuclear DNA, resulting in nerve cell death. The high calcium concentration also interferes with mitochondrial respiration, with the resultant production of free radicals that damage cellular membranes and nuclear DNA. Understanding the biochemical pathways that produce nerve cell death is the first step toward devising an effective neuroprotective strategy, the ultimate goal.<br/>::Contents##<br/>General considerations<br/>Traumatic brain injury<br/>Focal cerebral ischemia<br/>Transient global cerebral ischemia<br/>Hypoglycemic neuronal injury<br/>Seizure-induced neuronal death.

    ::Summary## Divided into thirteen chapters, this book provides a wealth of research-oriented findings and practical guidance, ranging from the definition, epidemiology and pathophysiology, to the diagnosis and management of the disease. Although acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is defined by the acute onset of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema, hypoxemia and the need for mechanical ventilation, it is a heterogeneous disease entity, which makes it difficult to develop specific therapies. Treatment tends to focus on lung-protective ventilation, and no specific pharmacotherapies have been identified. All chapters were written by respected experts in the field, and summarize the latest trends, share recent research findings, and outline future prospects. Specific chapters are devoted to novel, promising diagnostic approaches, such as microRNA, which may improve our ability to identify early ARDS or at-risk patients. In addition, a dedicated chapter explores cell-based therapies and regenerative medicine, which offer potential therapeutic options. Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome - Advances in Diagnostic Tools and Disease Management offers a valuable reference guide not only for young physicians and trainees, but also for experienced or teaching physicians, medical educators, and basic researchers. Readers will find the latest information on ARDS and come to understand the current challenges, encouraging them to further advance the diagnosis, treatment and clinical research on this disease.

    ::Summary## This book provides clear guidance on how to manage a wide range of side effects frequently encountered when treating patients with radiation therapy. For each potential side effect, incidence, mechanism, symptoms, and grading are carefully described. All aspects of management are addressed, drawing on the latest available evidence and highlighting key details of importance in clinical routine. The introduction of new radiation therapy techniques such as 3D conformal radiation therapy, intensity-modulated radiation therapy, and image-guided radiation therapy has reduced normal tissue doses and, accordingly, treatment complications. Nevertheless, a significant percentage of patients still experience acute side effects, in part because the threshold doses for these toxicities are typically lower than those for late effects. Acute toxicities may lead to interruption of treatment and be associated with an increase in late damage. A swift and effective response is therefore essential. This book will enable the reader to provide effective care for each side effect, thereby improving patient compliance with treatment and treatment outcomes.

The main topics covered include the current scientific understanding of observed and projected climate change impacts on crop production and quality, modeling of autonomous and planned adaptation, and development of early warning and/or support systems for climate-related decision-making. Drawing on concrete real-world examples, the book provides readers with an essential overview of adaptation, from research to system development to practices, taking agriculture in Asia as the example. As such, it offers a valuable asset for all researchers and policymakers whose work involves adaptation planning, climate negotiations, and/or agricultural developments.<br/>::Contents##<br/>Part I.

    ::Summary## "While there is a wealth of published information on addiction medicine, the psychological aspects of alcohol abuse, and behavioral medicine with regard to addiction, virtually none of the existing resources were written with the primary care provider in mind. Addressing Unhealthy Alcohol Use in Primary Care is a handy reference for primary care clinicians who are confronted by patients with these problems daily, and who wish to successfully address these issues in their practice. Focusing on the literature and science relevant to practicing providers, this book covers the range of interventions appropriate for this setting. Topics include assessment, brief counseling interventions, pharmacotherapy, referrals to both specialty care and Alcoholics Anonymous (and other self-help programs), psychiatric comorbidity and other drug use, and other information specific to the needs of the primary care clinician. The vast majority of people with health risks and consequences related to alcohol use receive little to no attention from healthcare, despite the fact that alcohol is a leading cause of early preventable death. This book is a guide to identifying and addressing unhealthy alcohol use in hopes of improving the lives of patients."--publisher's website<br/>::Contents##<br/>Unhealthy Alcohol Use: What is it?

    ::Summary## This book offers up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of the diagnosis and therapy of adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ). As is appropriate in the era of multidisciplinary and multimodal treatment, the contributions of all the various specialists involved cooperatively in the treatment of EGJ cancer are thoroughly described. Detailed attention is also paid to the significance of preneoplastic lesions, such as Barrett esophagus. The final part of the book represents a surgical atlas documenting the techniques used in the EGJ region, with superb color images and stepwise description of procedures. Against the background of the rapidly increasing incidence in EGJ cancer, especially evident in Western countries, there is a need for greater uniformity in management strategies, which currently vary significantly across the world. This book provides appropriate guidance that will assist all practitioners involved in the diagnosis and treatment of EGJ cancers, including surgeons, oncologists, and radiotherapists.<br/>::Contents##<br/>Foreword<br/>Preface<br/>1 Epidemiology and risk factors<br/>2 Barrett's esophagus: pathogenesis and prevention<br/>3 Surveillance in Barrett's esophagus and Dysplasia<br/>4 Ablation techniques for Barrett's esophagus and Dysplasia<br/>5 Endoscopic resection for Barrett's esophagus and Dysplasia<br/>6 7th Edition AJCC/UICC Staging: Esophagus and Esophagogastric Junction<br/>7 Siewert Classification of Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagogastric Junction: still in or already out?<br/>8 Preoperative work- up: conventional radiology, ultrasonography, CT scan and MRI<br/>9 Role of PET/CT and MRI in the prediction of response to neoadjuvant treatment<br/>10 Molecular biology in the prediction of response to neoadjuvant treatment<br/>11 Pathological response to neoadjuvant treatment: more questions than answers<br/>12 Hospital volume and centralization in EGJ cancer<br/>13 Patient selection and tailored treatment principles<br/>14 How to treat EGJ cancer: indications and treatment strategy<br/>15 Chemotherapy in EGJ cancer<br/>16 Chemoradiation in EGJ cancer<br/>17 Signet ring carcinoma in EGJ: what is it?<br/>18 Morbi- mortality and treatment of complications<br/>19 Long term results in surgery alone and multimodal treatments<br/>20 Open or minimally invasive?

    ::Summary## Poor adherence to therapy is one of the main obstacles to treatment effectiveness in schizophrenia. It is the main determinant of relapse, hospitalization, symptom persistence, and poor psychosocial functioning and outcome. Adherence to treatment is affected by various factors related to the disease characteristics, to the patient him- or herself, to the treatment, and to the therapeutic relationship. Some of these factors are modifiable, and both pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies have been developed for this purpose.This book addresses the different aspects of adherence to treatment in schizophrenia and related disorders in a systematic but easy-to-use manual format. Chapters focus on a full range of issues, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies to enhance adherence and continuity of care, relevant psychological factors, the importance of the patient-doctor relationship, and the need for an alliance with other care-givers. Adherence to Antipsychotics in Schizophrenia will be an invaluable asset for all who are involved in the care of patients with schizophrenia.<br/>::Contents##<br/>Poor adherence to antipsychotic medication in people with schizophrenia: diffusion, consequences, and contributing factors<br/> Pharmacological strategies to enhance adherence in schizophrenia<br/>Non-pharmacological strategies to enhance adherence and continuity of care in schizophrenia<br/>Psychological issues in improving adherence and alliance.

    ::Summary## The book documents the history of the prevention-of-mother-to child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) program in Guyana, as well as the impact of HIV on pregnant and postpartum women's adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART). The book shows research work by reviewing the literature to investigate relevant adherence studies, presenting in-depth interviews on adherence perspectives of clinic patients and healthcare providers, and a cross-sectional descriptive study of pregnant women that investigated general adherence to pregnancy-related behaviours and ART, and the efficacy of a theoretical model (Health Belief Model) to understand and predict ART adherence within this group. Author discusses the factors affecting ART adherence among pregnant and postpartum women, since existing studies may not account for cultural and other local variations. The findings provide insight into the local situation, and will also inform policy and practice in Guyana, and the wider Caribbean Community (CARICOM).<br/>::Contents##<br/>Chapter 1: Introduction<br/>Chapter 2: HIV and AIDS in Guyana<br/>Chapter 3: Factors affecting antiretroviral therapy adherence among HIV-positive pregnant and postpartum women: an adapted systematic review<br/>Chapter 4: Characteristics of pregnant women in Guyana with and without HIV<br/>Chapter 5: Antiretroviral perspectives of pregnant and postpartum women in Guyana: barriers and facilitators<br/>Chapter 6: Adherence patterns to prenatal vitamins and pregnancy health behaviors<br/>Chapter 7: Predictors of ART adherence<br/>Chapter 8: Predicting adherence to antiretroviral therapy among pregnant women in Guyana: utility of the health belief model<br/>Chapter 9: Discussion and Key Implications.

    ::Summary## This book focuses on the subsets of soft tissue tumors that show adipocytic, vascular or skeletal muscle differentiation. It reviews the surgical pathologists approach to diagnosing soft tissue tumors guided by vital morphological and immunohistochemical data in the differential diagnosis of this family of tumors. Written by experts in the field, the text contains a concise yet comprehensive summary of the current status of the field that helps guide diagnosis and patient management, and stimulates investigative efforts. The book is filled with high-quality drawings of the salient histologic features of these various tumors, alongside photomicrographs and tips and tricks that help the relatively untrained or inexperienced eye to recognize the various structures or cell types that comprise each of these lesions. This innovative approach seeks to make recognition of these tumors easier. Adipocytic, Vascular and Skeletal Muscle Tumors serves as a valuable resource for pathologists, oncologists, surgeons, and researchers dealing with and interested in these complex and challenging tumors.<br/>::Contents##<br/>Intro<br/>Foreword<br/>Contents<br/>Contributors<br/>Introduction<br/>1: Adipocytic Tumors<br/>Introduction<br/>Lipoma (Fig. 1.2)<br/>Lipomatosis of Nerve (Fig. 1.7)<br/>Angiolipoma (Fig. 1.10)<br/>Spindle Cell/Pleomorphic Lipoma (Fig. 1.13)<br/>Hemosiderotic Fibrolipomatous Tumor (HFLT) (Fig. 1.18)<br/>Lipoblastoma (Fig. 1.20)<br/>Angiomyolipoma (AML)<br/>Myelolipoma (Fig. 1.23)<br/>Hibernoma (Fig. 1.25)<br/>Chondroid Lipoma (Fig. 1.27)<br/>Liposarcoma<br/>ALT/WDLPS<br/>Dedifferentiated Liposarcoma (DDLPS)<br/>Myxoid/High-Grade Myxoid (Round Cell) Liposarcoma<br/>Pleomorphic Liposarcoma (PLPS) (Fig. 1.57) Tricks for a Better Diagnosis of Adipocytic Tumors<br/>Essential Bibliography<br/>2: Vascular Tumors<br/>Introduction<br/>Malformative Vascular Lesions<br/>Classical Vasoformative Tumors<br/>Capillary (Lobular) Hemangioma (Fig. 2.1)<br/>Congenital Hemangioma<br/>Infantile/Juvenile Hemangioma (Fig. 2.6)<br/>Cherry (Senile) Hemangioma (Fig. 2.8)<br/>Microvenular Hemangioma (Fig. 2.10)<br/>Cavernous Hemangioma (Fig. 2.13)<br/>Arteriovenous Hemangioma (Fig. 2.17)<br/>Intramuscular Hemangioma (Fig. 2.19)<br/>Angiomatosis<br/>Lymphangioma<br/>Lymphangioma Circumscriptum<br/>Cavernous Lymphangioma Benign Lymphangioendothelioma<br/>Lymphangiomatosis<br/>Littoral Cell Angioma (LCA)<br/>Angiosarcoma (Fig. 2.24)<br/>Reactive Vascular Lesions<br/>Papillary Endothelial Hyperplasia (PEH) (Fig. 2.26)<br/>Bacillary Angiomatosis (Fig. 2.28)<br/>Reactive Angioendotheliomatosis (Fig. 2.30)<br/>Glomeruloid Hemangioma (GH) (Fig. 2.32)<br/>Vascular Tumors with Hobnail Endothelium<br/>Hobnail Hemangioma (HH)<br/>Papillary Intralymphatic Angioendothelioma (PILA) (Dabska Tumor) (Fig. 2.35)<br/>Acquired Elastotic Hemangioma (Fig. 2.37)<br/>Retiform Hemangioendothelioma (RH) (Fig. 2.39) Composite Hemangioendothelioma (CH)<br/>Post-irradiation Atypical Vascular Lesions (AVL) (Fig. 2.41)<br/>Vascular Tumors with Spindle Cell Phenotype<br/>Spindle Cell Hemangioma (SCH) (Fig. 2.44)<br/>Kaposi Sarcoma (KS) (Fig. 2.46)<br/>Kaposiform Hemangioendothelioma (Fig. 2.51)<br/>Spindle Cell Angiosarcoma<br/>Vascular Tumors with Epithelioid Phenotype<br/>Epithelioid Hemangioma (EH)<br/>Epithelioid Angiomatous Nodule (EAN) (Fig. 2.55)<br/>Pseudomyogenic Hemangioendothelioma (PHE) (Fig. 2.57)<br/>Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma (EHE) (Fig. 2.59)<br/>Epithelioid Angiosarcoma (EAS) (Fig. 2.61) Tricks for a Correct Diagnosis of Vascular Tumors<br/>Essential Bibliography<br/>3: Skeletal Muscle Tumors<br/>Introduction<br/>Rhabdomyoma<br/>Adult-Type Rhabdomyoma (Fig. 3.1)<br/>Fetal (Juvenile) Rhabdomyoma (Fig. 3.3)<br/>Genital Rhabdomyoma (Fig. 3.5)<br/>Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma (Fig. 3.7)<br/>Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma (Fig. 3.9)<br/>Pleomorphic Rhabdomyosarcoma (Fig. 3.11)<br/>Spindle Cell/Sclerosing Rhabdomyosarcoma (Fig. 3.13)<br/>Malignant Ectomesenchymoma (MEM)<br/>Potential New Entities<br/>Tricks for a Correct Diagnosis of Skeletal Muscle Tumors<br/>Essential References<br/>Index

    ::Summary## Adipocytokines provide the circuitry by which adipose tissue communicates among its component cells which include adipocytes, stromal cells, immune cells and vascular elements, with adipose tissue depots in other locations throughout the body and with other tissues in order to regulate physiologic processes of energy intake, utilization, and distribution. Since disturbances, both qualitative and quantitative, in adipocytokine function contribute significantly to many of the comorbidities associated with obesity, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer, this volume, which discusses most of the major adipocytokines independently and collectively and their roles in normal and pathologic processes, should be useful to all individuals seeking a deeper understanding of these processes. Moreover, it provides a valuable complement to the series on Energy Balance and Cancer, in which each volume is focused on a specific aspect of this process, which now constitutes an expanding problem as the obesity pandemic continues and more of the population reaches the age where cancer is most prevalent. This volume should provide a valuable resource to all clinicians and scientists engaged in caring for susceptible patients and in exploring the relation between energy balance and cancer as well as an important platform to providing the background for research development.<br/>::Contents##<br/>Preface<br/>1.

    ::Summary## The field of adipose tissue biology has been expanding at a very rapid pace in the last few years. Numerous advances have been made since publication of the first edition of this book, in terms of basic adipocyte biology, understanding of the determinants of obesity, distribution of body fat and weight loss, as well as the mechanisms linking excess adiposity to various co-morbidities. Adipose Tissue and Adipokines in Health and Disease, Second Edition contains updated chapters from the previous volume but as the field has evolved, some areas covered in the first edition have been refocused to address the new knowledge. The volume is divided in four sections: the first two deal with basic adipose tissue and adipokine biology, while the last two address the problem of obesity and alterations in adipose tissue function from an epidemiological and clinical standpoint. The chapters are written by experts in their fields and include the most up to date scientific information. Adipose Tissue and Adipokines in Health and Disease, Second Edition is a useful resource for physicians interested in adipose tissue biology and basic scientists who want to know more about applied aspects of the field. The book targets endocrinologists, residents and fellows, internists, nutritionists and general practitioners who are exposed to an ever-expanding obese population.

    ::Summary## Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion (ADME) processes and their relationship with the design of dosage forms and the success of pharmacotherapy form the basis of this upper level undergraduate/graduate textbook. As an introduction oriented to pharmacy students, it is also written for scientist from different fields outside of pharmaceutics. (e.g. material scientist, material engineers, medicinal chemists) who might be working in a positions in pharmaceutical companies or whose work might benefit from basic training in the ADME concepts and some biological background. Pedagogical features such as objectives, keywords, discussion questions, summaries and case studies add valuable teaching tools. This book will provide not only general knowledge on ADME processes but also an updated insight on some hot topics such as drug transporters, multi-drug resistance related to pharmacokinetic phenomena, last generation pharmaceutical carriers (nanopharmaceuticals), in vitro and in vivo bioequivalence studies, biopharmaceuticals, pharmacogenomics, drug-drug and food-drug interactions, and in silico and in vitro prediction of ADME properties. In comparison with other similar textbooks, around half of the volume would be focused on the relationship between expanding scientific fields and ADME processes. Each of these burgeoning fields has a separate chapter in the second part of the volume, and was written with leading experts on the correspondent topic, including scientists and academics from USA and UK (Duquesne University School of Pharmacy, Indiana University School of Medicine, University of Utah College of Pharmacy, University of Maryland, University of Bath). Additionally, each of the initial chapters dealing with the generalities of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion would include relevant, classic examples related to each topic with appropriate illustrations (e.g. importance of active absorption of levodopa, implications in levodopa administration, drug drug interactions and food drug interactions emerging from the active uptake; intoxication with paracetamol as a result of glutathione depletion, CYP induction and its relationship with acute liver failure caused by paracetamol, etc). ADME Processes and Pharmaceutical Sciences is written as a core textbook for ADME processes, pharmacy, pharmacokinetics, drug delivery, biopharmaceutics, drug disposition, drug design and medicinal chemistry courses.<br/>::Contents##<br/>Part 1 The Basics of ADME Processes<br/>Introduction ADME Processes and Their Relationship with Pharmaceutical Practice<br/>Drug Release<br/>Drug Adsorption<br/>Drug Excretion.-Routes of Administration<br/>Part 2 The Importance of ADME Properties in Burgeoning Pharmaceutical Topics<br/>Nanotechnology and Drug Delivery<br/>Pharmacogenomics and Indiviualized Therapy<br/>Bioavailability and Bioequivalence Studies<br/>The Absorption and Distribution of Biopharmaceuticals/Biological Medical Products<br/>Drug-Drug and Food-Drug Interactions of Pharmacokinetic Nature<br/>In silico and In vitro ADME prediction<br/>Drug Transporters and Multi-drug Resistance.

    ::Summary## This book presents a detailed and updated review of the widespread changes that take place during adolescence, adopting a preventive perspective that reflects physical, social, cognitive, and emotional changes. It addresses a broad range of aspects, including: the preventive programs and their systemic effects; the role of environment in influencing the healthy behaviors of adolescents and young adults; the use of e-Health technology in health and behavioral interventions for adolescents; and the clinical and prognostic implications of primordial prevention in healthy adolescents. All of these elements are subsequently reviewed using a multidimensional approach, in order to offer extensive information on the complex changes that characterize adolescents' physiological, psychological, and neurobiological development. In addition, the book depicts the preventive strategies currently used in various social settings (school, family, sport club, health policies) aimed not only at reducing lifestyle risk behaviors, but also at improving resilience, happiness, social involvement, self-esteem, and sociability. This update is essential in the light of the fact that, to date, prevention has mainly been directed towards adolescents with physical or mental disorders rather than their healthy peers. As such, the book offers a valuable tool for pediatricians, child and adolescents psychiatrists, and for all professionals involved in Health Promotion and Disease Prevention.<br/>::Contents##<br/>Part I: Primordial prevention: General Aspects<br/>1.

    ::Summary## Adolescents have unique nutritional needs when compared to young children and adults. As youth go through physical, cognitive, and behavioral development, nutrition needs are dynamic and changing. If these needs go undetected and remain unaddressed, the results can derail physical and social maturation and include life-long effects on health. This comprehensive text offers a multidisciplinary perspective on aspects of adolescent nutrition. Using clinical cases, it covers relevant topics related to adolescent health including normal development, chronic health conditions, and complex biopsychosocial dynamics, among others. The first section of the text contains an overview of adolescent nutrition that is further broken down into more specific topics such as developmental nutrition needs, needs of active youth and athletes and media influences on body image. The next section focuses on health disparities such as culturally appropriate care, health equity, international considerations and food insecurity. The following section specifically addresses eating disorders ranging from anorexia and bulimia to binge eating. Finally, the last section covers additional health considerations such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, teen pregnancy, substance use and gender non-conforming youth. Written by experts in the field, this book is a helpful resource for primary care medical providers, registered dietitians, adolescent medicine specialists as well as advanced practice nurses, physician assistants and athletic trainers.<br/>::Contents##<br/>Part I General Adolescent Nutrition<br/>1.

    ::Summary## This volume presents a comprehensive and practical approach to the treatment of suicide and NSSI for adolescents utilizing a mentalizing framework. The beginning of the text provides up-to-date information on the theory of a mentalizing therapy in order to ground the readers in the neuroscientific underpinnings of a mentalizing approach. Next chapters provide information on the fundamental building blocks of a mentalizing therapy at the individual and family level. These chapters provide step-by-step approaches in order to provide examples of the techniques involved in mentalizing treatment that can be employed to address suicidality and NSSI. The next chapter builds on these concepts as the reader learns about mentalizing failures involved in common co-morbidities in adolescents who are experiencing suicidality and/or employing NSSI. The next several chapters cover practical issues related to working within this patient population including the key concept of social systems and connections for both providers and adolescents, the ability of mentalizing theory and therapy to integrate with other effective therapies, how to approach sessions after a suicide attempt, resiliency for patient, family and the provider, along with important self-care for a therapist if a patient commits suicide. The final chapter brings all of the aforementioned elements together in order for the reader to conceptualize employing a mentalizing approach to adolescents and their families when suicide and NSSI concerns are a predominate focus of care. Illustrations of specific therapeutic approaches and a list of resources and guidelines where available are also included. Adolescent Suicide and Self-Injury is an excellent resource for all clinicians working with youths at risk for suicide and/or self-injury, including psychiatrists, psychologists, pediatricians, family medicine physicians, emergency medicine specialists, social workers, and all others.<br/>::Contents##<br/>Intro<br/>Contents<br/>Contributors<br/>1: What Is Mentalizing?<br/>Introduction<br/>Brief History<br/>The Four Dimensions<br/>Whose Mental State?

    ::Summary## "Adolescence is a challenging stage for all individuals, especially for those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Individuals with ASD face increased social isolation and engage in more challenging behaviors during adolescence. They also experience increased mental health challenges including anxiety and depression, and they are among the least likely of any disability group to attend college, be competitively employed, or live independently. At the same time, adolescents with ASD face a major shift in available services and support as they exit the K-12 educational system. The need to present what is known about this group in order to inform clinicians, researchers, and educators cannot be understated. Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder synthesizes current science on adolescents and young adults with ASD in order to inform mental health practitioners and education professionals who work directly with these individuals. While early childhood interventions for ASD have been extensively developed and tested, research on adolescents and young adults with ASD has lagged behind until recently. This comprehensive handbook can be utilized to train students and professionals in applied mental health roles. The handbook includes three sections: Part I reviews diagnosis and treatment of adolescents with ASD; Part II details how to support their educational needs; and Part III discusses special populations including college students and young women. Chapters highlight recommendations for clinicians and include study questions and additional resources."-- Provided by publisher.<br/>::Contents##<br/>Part I.

    ::Summary## This book describes the most popular topics concerning adult congenital heart disease (ACHD), especially focusing on indications and re-intervention procedures for some major ACHDs. Thanks to advances in medical and surgical therapy for congenital heart disease over the last half century, many patients who underwent surgical correction reached adulthood. However, as can be seen from the explosive increase in the number of ACHD patients, postoperative residua and sequelae have also become apparent. The purpose of this book is to highlight complicated problems in connection with ACHD, including its present status, as well as methods for its management including medical and surgical treatment. The content primarily focuses on two areas - general information for cardiologists, and information on re-intervention for interventionists and cardiac surgeons -, setting it apart from the majority of books on congenital heart disease.<br/>::Contents##<br/>Part I: Background and Facilities<br/>Chapter 1: Historical perspective<br/>Chapter 2: Facilities for patients' care<br/>Part II: Medical consideration<br/>Chapter 3: Post-operative residua and sequelae<br/>Chapter 4: Heart failure<br/>Chapter 5: Rhythm disturbance / sudden death<br/>Part III: Intervention / Re-intervention considerations<br/>Chapter 6: Anesthesia for ACHD<br/>Chapter 7: Therapeutic catheter intervention (ASD, PDA, CoA, etc)<br/>Chapter 8: Repaired tetralogy of Fallot<br/>Chapter 9: Post RV-PA conduit repair (PA + VSD, TGA III, etc)<br/>Chapter 10: Repaired complete transposition of the great arteries<br/>Chapter 11: Corrected TGA<br/>Chapter 12: Post right heart bypass operation<br/>Chapter 13: Aortopathy including hereditary disease (Marfan syndrome, bicuspid aortic valve, etc)<br/>Chapter 14: Ebstein anomaly.

    ::Summary## This book provides essential information on the epidemiology, molecular and genetic features, anti-CCR4 antibody therapy and a nationwide study of transplantation on human T-leukemia virus type-I (HTLV-1) and adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL). This rare but important disease has restricted endemic areas and distinct clinical features such as a high frequency of hypercalcemia, strong predisposition to infection and poor response to chemotherapy, aspects which set ATL apart from other types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Given the small number of patients, enrollment in clinical trials has not been feasible, and establishing treatment standard has been difficult but new evidence, such as results of nationwide studies on transplantation, have shown new insights and potential treatments. Based on recent evidence, the book presents new treatment methods for ATL and infection prevention of HTLV-1, enabling clinicians, researchers and post-docs specializing in hematology and virology to gain a valuable overview of the disease.

    ::Summary## Substitution and adulteration in traded herbal raw material are common practice in the herbal industry due to the extinction of required species, deforestation and incorrect taxonomical identification. Herbalists have adopted methods to create high quality adulteration which cannot be detected without performing microscopic examination or chemical analysis. It is difficult to establish specific quality control standards due to the complex nature and innate unpredictability of the chemical constituents of medicinal herbs.The main parameters for measurement and adulteration prevention in medicinal herbs are morphological and microscopic investigation, chemical profiling and DNA barcoding. The need for highly sensitive and more effective approaches for the authentication of medicinal herbs is necessary in order to promote the acceptance of herbal products. Adulteration In Traditional Medicinal Herbs is aimed at promoting awareness of adulteration in traditional herbal medicines for the worldwide scientific community. Parameters are established for the prevention of adulteration through classical and modern scientific tools. Valuable case studies are presented based on ethno-medicinal surveys performed in many herbal markets in Pakistan. Collections of various samples were obtained from these shops then compared with the original plants collected from field. Various phytochemical, organoleptic and DNA barcoding techniques were used in order to detect adulteration in the marketed herbal samples. This book is the first of its kind and is aimed at helping the scientific community to identify particular medicinal plants which are facing adulteration problems in herbal markets and to estimate the extent of adulteration and substitution in commonly used medicinal herbs.<br/>::Contents##<br/>CHAPTER 1: Adulteration A Global Issue<br/>CHAPTER 2: Types and Causes of Adulteration: Global Perspectives<br/>CHAPTER 3: Why Study Herbal Plants?<br/>CHAPTER 4: History, Classification, Worldwide Distribution and Significance of Herbal Plants<br/>CHAPTER 5: Marketed Herbal Drugs: How Adulteration Affects<br/>CHAPTER 6: Preventive Measures to Stop Adulteration in Marketed Herbal Samples<br/>CHAPTER 7: Medicinal Wealth of Pakistan<br/>CHAPTER 8: Marketed Herbal Plants in Pakistan: Case Studies<br/>CHAPTER 9: List of Commonly used Herbal Drugs throughout the World<br/>CHAPTER 10: A pictorial guide of marketed herbal plants: Comparison with the original sample.

    ::Summary## "The probability for exposure to damaging radiation, toxic chemicals in the environment and adverse biological agents has increased exponentially today. The more frequent and faster travel that we experience today also escalates the risk of contraction and transmission of potentially deadly infections. This has created a very real and escalating risk for injuries and deaths. This is accentuated in the military and medical staff that is more frequently exposed to radiological, chemical, and biological agents in their normal working environment. Understanding the mechanisms whereby these toxic agents inflict damage to our bodies is essential to prepare us for these challenges. Much of the damage is inflicted through the generation of free radicals and non-radical oxidants which then act through oxidative mechanisms to injury the body. This volume will discuss the damage caused by these radiological, chemical, and biological environmental stressors, the mechanisms through which the damage can occur and the novel strategies that can be used to reduce the injury inflicted by these toxic compounds. Using basic and clinical research approaches, the contents of this book discuss new ideas for the development of bioactive products and environmental approaches to lessen or negate the biological damage inflicted by these noxious compounds."--Publisher's website.

    ::Summary## "This textbook is a tool that is used to help students learn advanced health assessment techniques that focus on the assessment and diagnosis of common disorders of the systems of the body. Most Medical Schools, Physician Assistant School and Schools of Nursing have Advanced Practice curriculums which require an Advanced Health Assessment Course. Most courses are designed to provide students and young practitioners with a glimpse into the minds of experienced clinicians who are assessing and solving therapeutic problems on a daily basis. These students and new practitioners play a vital role in the health assessment of the public. They must know that the focus of the assessment is intense and complete and that the appropriate diagnostic intervention is selected based on solid evidence/clues from the health assessment, which will ensure that the right intervention is ordered for the right patient at the right time with due consideration of costs. It also ensures that the patient knows how, why and when to use the prescribed intervention. This textbook has met this benchmark and will continue to do so with a current edition"-- Provided by publisher.<br/>::Contents##<br/>Interviewing and history taking strategies<br/>Physical examination strategies<br/>Documentation strategies<br/>Cultural and spiritual assessment<br/>Nutritional assessment<br/>Mental health disorders<br/>Integumentary disorders<br/>Eye disorders<br/>Ear disorders<br/>Nose, sinus, mouth, and throat disorders<br/>Respiratory disorders<br/>Cardiovascular disorders<br/>Endocrine disorders<br/>Gastrointestinal disorders<br/>Neurological disorders<br/>Male genitourinary disorders<br/>Female genitourinary and breast disorders<br/>Musculoskeletal disorders.

    ::Summary## This book is a wide-ranging guide to advanced imaging techniques and related methods with important applications in translational research or convergence science as progress is made toward a new era in integrative healthcare. Conventional and advanced microscopic imaging techniques, including both non-fluorescent (i.e., label-free) and fluorescent methods, have to date provided researchers with specific and quantitative information about molecules, cells, and tissues. Now, however, the different imaging techniques can be correlated with each other and multimodal methods developed to simultaneously obtain diverse and complementary information. In addition, the latest advanced imaging techniques can be integrated with non-imaging techniques such as mass spectroscopic methods, genome editing, organic/inorganic probe synthesis, nanomedicine, and drug discovery. The book will be of high value for researchers in the biological and biomedical sciences or convergence science who need to use these multidisciplinary and integrated techniques or are involved in developing new analytical methods focused on convergence science. .<br/>::Contents##<br/>1.Confocal laser scanning microscopy and fluorescence correlation methods for evaluation of molecular interactions<br/>2.Number and Brightness Imaging: visualization of protein oligomerization state in living cell<br/>3.Single-molecule analysis on the coupling of molecular state and reaction kinetics<br/>4.Imaging lipid rafts in the plasma membrane using novel probe and super-resolution microscopy<br/>5.Multiplex Immunohistochemistry (IHC)<br/>6.Micro-endoscopy for live small animal fluorescent imaging<br/>7.Immuno-gold techniques<br/>8.Correlative Light and Electron Microscopy for Nanoparticle-Cell Interaction<br/>9.Diagnostic and Therapeutic Nanomedicine<br/>10.Semiconductor nanocrystals for biological imaging and fluorescence spectroscopy<br/>11.DNA/RNA fluorescence imaging by synthetic nucleic acids<br/>Section II: Label-free techniques and advanced tomographic imaging<br/>12.

    ::Summary## "Pediatric healthcare experts agree that the health care needs of children are vastly different from those of adults. From infancy through adolescence, a child experiences many dramatic anatomical, physiologic, psychosocial, developmental, and cognitive changes. Thus, it is critical for the pediatric health care provider to possess specialized knowledge and skills to accurately assess children during health and illness. Concepts related to the health assessment and physical examination of adults cannot be universally applied to the care of children; children are not simply little adults"-- Provided by publisher.<br/>::Contents##<br/>Child Health Assessment : An Overview<br/>Assessment of Child Development and Behavior<br/>Communicating with Children and Families<br/>Assessment of the Family<br/>Cultural Assessment of Children and Families<br/>Obtaining the Pediatric Health History<br/>Assessing Safety and Injury Risk in Children<br/>The Pediatric Physical Examination<br/>The Health Supervision Visit: Wellness Examinations in Children<br/>Assessment of Nutritional Status<br/>Assessment of the Neonate<br/>Assessment of the Integumentary System<br/>Assessment of the Head, Neck, and Regional Lymphatics<br/>Assessment of the Ears<br/>Assessment of the Eyes<br/>Assessment of the Face, Nose, and Oral Cavity<br/>Assessment of the Thorax, Lungs, and Regional Lymphatics<br/>Assessment of the Cardiovascular System<br/>Assessment of the Abdomen and Regional Lymphatics<br/>Assessment of the Reproductive and Genitourinary Systems<br/>Assessment of the Musculoskeletal System<br/>Assessment of the Neurologic System<br/>Assessment of Mental Disorders in Children and Adolescents<br/>Assessment of Child Abuse and Neglect<br/>The Complete History and Physical Examination : From Start to Finish<br/>Formulating a Differential Diagnosis.

    ::Summary## This textbook explores issues central to the provision of recovery-orientated care based on ethical principles and human rights perspectives. Written by academics and nurse practitioners, this comprehensive text draws together theory, research and practice to map the landscape of Advanced Practice in Mental Health Nursing (APMHN) in Europe. Underpinned by a rights- and relational- based approach to care, the textbook is organized around six themes: theoretical and historical perspectives; foundations for collaborative working; therapeutic engagement in different contexts; beyond the clinical dimension of the APMHN role; advancing the evidence-based practice agenda and emerging issues and challenges. Each theme consists of a number of chapters that are designed to address different aspects of APMHN. With a focus on illuminating the collaborating aspect of their role and advancing nurses competencies, debates and guidance are provided in areas such as therapeutic alliance, assessment, care-planning, mental health promotion, family work, trauma, diversity and culture, spirituality, risk and uncertainty, and prescribing. In addition to addressing the leadership, education and advocacy role, specific chapters explore the APMHN role in linking evidence to practice, in the participatory generation of evidence and maintaining professional competence. With a focus on future challenges and opportunities the textbook concludes with discussion on issues, such as eMental Health and future challenges and possibilities facing APMHNs, including challenges in informing policy, democratizing services, working across service and disciplinary boundaries, collaboratively shaping the evidence agenda, as well sustaining their role into the future. Within the book theoretical debate is grounded in case studies and/or examples from across Europe. This textbook is especially relevant to Mental Health Nurses undertaking studies at the Advanced Practice level. It is also suited to all Mental Health Nurses studying at post-graduate level who wish to advance their practice irrespective of the country. Educators, researchers and policy-makers involved in the area of Mental Health and Advanced Nursing Practice along with people with lived experiences will find the text of relevance.<br/>::Contents##<br/>Part I.

    ::Summary## "We believe the procedures outlined will improve the marketability of the nurse practitioner and serve as a good reference tool for family and/or adult nurse practitioners in an ambulatory care setting. Prerequisites for this book are basic anatomy and physiology, microbiology, pharmacology, principles of aseptic technique, and basic nursing skills. The procedures in this book were chosen based on a comprehensive study of types of procedures currently used in the nurse practitioner's practice. Many of the procedures can be used in any ambulatory setting"-- Provided by publisher.
