Advances in Clinical Chemistry, Volume 88, the latest installment
in this internationally acclaimed series, contains chapters
authored by world-renowned clinical laboratory scientists,
physicians and research scientists. The serial discusses the latest
and most up-to-date technologies related to the field of clinical
chemistry, and is the benchmark for novel analytical approaches in
the clinical laboratory.
The goal of this book is to make it easier for scientists,
especially those new to scientific writing, to write about their
results and to get their manuscripts accepted in peer-reviewed
journals. The book covers each step throughout the submission
process, from organizing and outlining the manuscript, presenting
statistical data and results, to what happens during the in-house
manuscript review process and what to do if an article is initially
rejected. In addition to providing practical exercises on these
topics, the book focuses on helping writers distil their research
into concise take-home messages for readers, in order to convey
information as clearly as possible to the target audience.
The Situational Judgement Test at a Glance provides a sound
introduction to the SJT and details ways you can prepare before the
assessment. It includes worked case examples based on real-life
scenarios which have been reviewed by experienced clinicians and
examiners. The book draws out key aspects of professional practice
relevant to the role of a junior doctor. This is based on the nine
domains as outlined by the ISFP (Improving Selection to Foundation
Programme), who detailed the behaviours necessary to be a competent
Foundation Doctor. The overall aim of The Situational Judgement
Test at a Glance is not to spoon feed hundreds of practice
questions or reams of guidelines, but to steer you towards a
logical way of approaching best medical practice -- and therefore
the SJT -- with many examples of doctors' personal experiences
along the way. Challenging scenarios are analysed using guidelines
from the General Medical Council and research interviews with
patients, lab staff and healthcare professionals. All examples in
the book are worked in a test-style apparatus, with questions on
one side and detailed answers over the page so you can understand
the reasoning behind the material.
This year book brings you abstracts of the articles that reported
the year's breakthrough developments in medicine, carefully
selected from more than 500 journals worldwide. Expert commentaries
evaluate the clinical importance of each article and discuss its
application to your practice.
Eye Movement Integration Therapy is the first book to detail one of
the most innovative and effective new treatments available to
psychotherapists today. Filled with case examples and informed by
extensive experience teaching the technique, the book is accessible
to informed lay persons, as well as to all readers with prior
training in psychology. teachers of psychotherapy that I have ever
encountered. Eye Movement Integration Therapy is just one of her
many valuable contributions. - Jeffrey K. Zeig, PhD, Director, The
Milton H. Erickson Foundation been in private practice as a
psychologist since 1992. She is a much sought after speaker and
lecturer at symposia all over the world. Danie publishes her own
books and guides on Impact Therapy and related techniques in the
French language via Editions Academie Impact.
This issue covers a wide range of topics related to genitourinary
imaging, across a variety of imaging modalities.? An update is
given on dual-energy CT in urologic imaging.? Imaging of the
retroperitoneum is also discussed. Imaging of infectious and
inflammatory diseases of kidneys is reviewed, as is imaging of the
features of common and uncommon neoplasms of the bladder.?
Multimodality imaging of the ureter, unusual renal masses, and
adrenal imaging are all addressed in detail.? Finally, advances in
pediatric urologic imaging are reviewed.
This detailed book gathers a broad collection of experimental
approaches to assist researchers in setting up different methods to
investigate protein conformational disorders. Beginning with a
section on assays focusing on biophysical approaches to study
protein (mis)folding, the volume continues with sections on
cellular and proteostasis assays as well as assays for protein
folding correction and recovery, combining methods such as thermal
shift assays, in silico improvement of protein solubility, and
compound screening, an important area of research as it may open
avenues for therapeutic strategies. Written for the highly
successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include
introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary
materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible
laboratory protocols, and tips for troubleshooting and avoiding
known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Protein Misfolding
Diseases: Methods and Protocols serves as an ideal guide for
researchers seeking to advance our knowledge of protein
conformational disorders.
The medical domain is home to many critical challenges that stand
to be overcome with the use of data-driven clinical decision
support systems (CDSS), and there is a growing set of examples of
automated diagnosis, prognosis, drug design, and testing. However,
the current state of AI in medicine has been summarized as "high on
promise and relatively low on data and proof." If such problems can
be addressed, a data-driven approach will be very important to the
future of CDSSs as it simplifies the knowledge acquisition and
maintenance process, a process that is time-consuming and requires
considerable human effort. Diverse Perspectives and
State-of-the-Art Approaches to the Utilization of Data-Driven
Clinical Decision Support Systems critically reflects on the
challenges that data-driven CDSSs must address to become mainstream
healthcare systems rather than a small set of exemplars of what
might be possible. It further identifies evidence-based, successful
data-driven CDSSs. Covering topics such as automated planning,
diagnostic systems, and explainable artificial intelligence, this
premier reference source is an excellent resource for medical
professionals, healthcare administrators, IT managers, pharmacists,
students and faculty of higher education, librarians, researchers,
and academicians.
The use of thermodynamics in biological research can be equated to
an energy book-keeping system. While the structure and function of
a molecule is important, it is equally important to know what
drives the energy force. This volume presents sophisticated methods
for estimating the thermodynamic parameters of specific
protein-protein, protein-DNA and small molecule interactions.
* Elucidates the relationships between structure and energetics
and their applications to molecular design, aiding researchers in
the design of medically important molecules * Provides a
"must-have" methods volume that keeps MIE buyers and online
subscribers up-to-date with the latest research * Offers
step-by-step lab instructions, including necessary equipment, from
a global research community
Complementary and alternative medicine encompasses a wide range of
modalities, including acupuncture, herbs and supplements,
naturopathy, and body and mind therapies.? The use of these healing
methods is increasing rapidly, and more and more patients are
approaching primary care physicians with questions about them.? The
purpose of this issue is to help doctors understand the evidence
supporting and refuting complementary and alternative medicine
techniques so they can provide patients with answers.? This is the
second of a two-part series, and it focuses on application of
complementary and alternative medicine techniques to disease states
and body systems.
"Cancer Epigenetics: Biomolecular Therapeutics in Human Cancer" is
the only resource to focus on biomolecular approaches to cancer
therapy. Its presentation of the latest research in cancer biology
reflects the interdisciplinary nature of the field and aims to
facilitate collaboration between the basic, translational, and
clinical sciences.
This issue of the Medical Clinics of North America brings the

organ involvement in hypertension; hypertension and the metabolic
syndrome; aging versus hypertension; hypertension, systolic blood
pressure, and large arteries; oxidative stress, endothelial
dysfunction, and hypertension; current thinking about hypertensive
heart disease; diastolic dysfunction as a link between hypertension
and heart failure; hypertension and cardiac failure in its various
forms; hypertension and atherogenesis; the kidney, hypertension,
and remaining challenges; current thinking about renovascular
