Pathophysiology of Oral Diseases

Pathology Comments Off

Feb 112018

Teaching a large number of ever-inspiring students for the past few years was the motivation for the author to compile this book. This book would not have seen the light of the day if it were not for them.
Knowledge of the pathogenesis of the various diseases affecting the oral cavity offers a great help in understanding its clinical features, its radiographic features, and histological features as well as the treatment for the diseases. These are the reasons for the necessity to compile various pathophysiological causes of the diseases. Some of the diseases are still being explained by their old pathogeneses; however, some others are being attributed to new causes following the advent of new and innovative technologies, which identify genes and new knowledge about stem cell culturing. This book simplifies the subject of Oral Pathology by understanding the underlying causes of the various diseases.

Functional Neuroimaging with Multiple Modalities

Neurology/Neurosurgery, Radiology Comments Off

Feb 112018

Searching for an objective and specific in vivo biomarker for normal physiology and early disease diagnosis has always been a major goal, but also one of the most challenging aspects in brain research. Possible earlier identification of the key pathological signature of diseases (for instance, Alzheimer’s disease (AD)) is critical for efficient treatment and disease prevention. The concept of combined imaging features is based on the recent accumulating evidence that neither PET nor MRI alone is enough for characterizing the earliest AD pathology. The results of this book will, for the first time, highlight in vivo the possibility to describe the early detection and multiple biomarkers based on combined imaging features using PET-MRI, which is the most ideal model for such studies. The newly-developed hybrid imaging technology combining PET and MRI (PET/MRI) for the past few years is emerging, and has drawn much attention in technical developments and clinical applications. PET-MRI opens new horizons in multi-parametric neuroimaging for clinical research that allows simultaneous imaging of multiple parametric changes, such as blood flow and metabolism at the same time. This integration significantly decreases the potential errors in image registration, the difficulty of interpreting underlying coexisting pathophysiological events, and most importantly, patient discomfort.
This book will provide the most up-to-date and current status of multiple neuroimaging techniques. The most intriguing application of multi-modality neuroimaging lies in simultaneous interpretation and unique information that each modality can offer. Therefore, this book will present some forefront and interesting examples for the first time in this field of research. This will hopefully trigger the interest of colleagues in this challenging field and help facilitate the applications of the neuroimaging techniques described.

Frightened, Disturbed, Dangerous? : Why Working with Patients in Psychiatric Care Can Be Really Difficult, and What to Do about

Psychiatry Comments Off

Feb 112018

Patients in psychiatric care can behave in ways that can be alarming for staff, and difficult to respond to. The authors of this practical and imaginative book explain why patients may behave in these ways, and offer a toolkit of ways to respond effectively and kindly. With many everyday examples of how to keep the space positive and safe, and patients calm, this book could transform your working life.

“An overwhelming number of persons suffer from mental health problems across their life span. In this important book, the authors describe the critical issues in the psychiatric care of individuals with autism. Written by a father (who is an experienced psychologist), and his daughter (who has suffered from psychiatric disorders), it gives a detailed account of the difficulties faced by persons with autism and related disorders, especially as they transition into adulthood, and sheds light on the challenges faced both by patients and staff. I enjoyed reading the book and recommend it both to parents and caregivers of persons with autism and other developmental disabilities.” - Mohammad Ghaziuddin, MD Professor of Psychiatry, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA.

Biomechanics, Muscle Fibers, and How to Interface Experimental Apparatus to a Computer

Uncategorized Comments Off

Feb 112018

This book is written to help and enable students in how to observe biological specimens in terms of viscosity, mass, elasticity and work producing elements. The observations are related to underlying chemical reactions by means of strain (fractional length change) sensitivity of the reactions, and a theory is developed how to connect these. Their mathematical derivation is complex when three or more states are involved, but a method is presented here to demonstrate how to simplify this complex problem. Basic mathematical solutions that are useful for this book, are presented (Fourier and Laplace transforms, differential equations, matrix operations) together with Fortran programs in the Appendix.

Drugs and Social Context: Social Perspectives on the Use of Alcohol and Other Drugs

Pharmacology Comments Off

Feb 112018

This book goes beyond the traditional approaches to drug use and discusses the issue from a societal perspective, integrating contributions from different disciplines such as psychology, public health, anthropology, law, public policies and sociology to address specifically the social aspects of the phenomenon.
Given its complexity, drug use demands a multidisciplinary approach from many different perspectives, but despite the vast literature about the topic, the majority of the books are restricted either to a purely medical perspective (focused mainly on treatment techniques) or to a criminological perspective (focused mainly on drug trafficking and organized crime).

The social approach adopted in this volume challenges this dichotomy and analyzes both the social contexts to which drug use is related and the social and political consequences of the attitudes and policies adopted by governments and other social groups towards drug users, addressing topics such as:
Drugs and poverty
Drugs and gender
Drugs and race
Drugs and territory
Stigmatization of drug use
Prohibitionism
Given its broad and innovative approach, Drugs and Social Context - Social Perspectives on the Use of Alcohol and Other Drugs will be of interest for researchers, clinicians and other health professionals, since the study of the social aspects of drug use is central to everyone who deals with the issue.
