    Summary: "This book introduces the latest research in molecular, cellular, and tissue engineering of the vascular system. Topics covered include the roles of endothelial surface glycocalyx as a mechano-sensor and transducer for blood flow, a barrier to water and solute transport across the vascular wall and to the interaction between circulating cells and the vessel wall, the roles of nuclear envelope proteins and nuclear lamina in regulating vascular functions under blood flow-induced forces, and the roles of smooth muscle cells and extracellular components in arterial vasoconstriction. Other topics covered include non-surgical vascular interventions for coronary artery diseases, genesis and mechanisms of atherosclerotic plaque microcalcifications and human abdominal aortic aneurysms, experiments and modelling for red blood cell and tumor cell movement in microcirculation, transport across the blood-brain barrier and its role in Alzheimer's disease, mathematical models for cell survival after hyperthermia, application of hypothermia in enhancing treatment for brain and spinal cord injuries, and damage of eardrums due to blast waves. This is an ideal book for biomedical engineers and researchers, medical researchers, and students in biomedical engineering and medical sciences"--Publisher's description.

    Psychotherapeutic theories and techniques are multiplying explosively. However, the newer developments are reducible to a few basic concepts, namely 1. training, learning, conditioning and information, 2. suggestion, 3. persuasion, 4. counselling, 5. insight (making conscious), 6. group-effects, 7. cartharsis, ecstasis and acting-out. In the present situation a therapeutic schedule based entirely on methods and theories is no longer acceptable and has been replaced by a patient-centred approach, i.e. the method is chosen on a pluralistic basis according to optimum fulfilment of the requirements of patient, therapist and institution. Apart from psychotherapy in the narrower sense, a psychotherapeutic attitude is recommended as an essential method of secondary prevention in all health and social services.
