A mother tells the journey of her daughter's recovery from Autism
and Sensory Processing Disorder to Functioning Recovery and
independent living, giving tips to parents on how to navigate the
medical and educational domain. This story is an example of the
unique obstacles facing a parent raising a child with Autism. The
challenges they face getting supports. What is Sensory Processing
Disorder, CranioSacral Therapy and Bio-Medical Therapy, and what
roles they play on the road to Functioning Recovery and independent
living? See actual projective trials pertaining to sensory
supports. Is educational discrimination the reason there is
difficulty getting help in school? As this story unfolds it
provides useful tips to other parents to help them on their journey
with their child. This story is notable because this mother's
daughter was successful overcoming numerous obstacles while
providing useful tools, inspiration and hope to others.
The goal of tissue engineering is to repair or replace tissues and organs by delivering implanted cells, scaffolds, DNA, proteins, and/or protein fragments at surgery. Tissue engineering merges aspects of engineering and biology, and many rapid achievements in this field have arisen in part from significant advances in cell and molecular biology. Functional Tissue Engineering addresses the key issues in repairing and replacing load-bearing structures effectively. What are the thresholds of force, stress, and strain that normal tissues transmit or encounter? What are the mechanical properties of these tissues when subjected to expected in vivo stresses and strains, as well as under failure conditions? Do tissue engineered repairs and replacements need to exactly duplicate the structure and function of the normal tissue or organ? When developing these implants in culture, how do physical factors such as mechanical stress regulate cell behavior in bioreactors as compared to signals experienced in vivo? And finally, can tissue engineers mechanically stimulate these implants before surgery to produce a better repair outcome? Chapters written by well-known researchers discuss these matters and provide guidelines and a summary of the current state of technology. Functional Tissue Engineering will be useful to students and researchers as it will remind tissue engineers of the clinical importance of restoring function to damaged tissue and structures. Further, the book clarifies the identification of critical structural and mechanical requirements needed for each construct. Functional Tissue Engineering also provides an invaluable resource to help tissue engineers incorporate these functional criteria into the design, manufacture, and optimization of tissue engineered products. Finally it serves as a reference and teaching text for the rapidly increasing population of students and investigators in the field of tissue engineering.

A number of multinational corporations (MNCs) from developing
economies are becoming key players in the global economy. The
world's second-largest forgings-maker comes from India; the biggest
Nordic insurer was bought by a South African competitor; a Mexican
company reinvented the global cement business; and Brazilian
restaurant chains sponsor immigration visas for highly-skilled meat
carvers to support their American expansions. Understanding these
trends and their implications is a priority for academics,
policy-makers and business professionals alike. Do these
developments vindicate the view that globalization opens up
unprecedented opportunities for the South to catch up with the
North? Are these "emerging MNCs" any different from their
competitors from industrial countries? Does private sector direct
engagement herald a new era for South-South cooperation? As this
book shows, emerging MNCs must be analyzed in the context of the
global political economy.
This book investigates several classes of partial differential
equations of real time variable and complex spatial variables,
including the heat, Laplace, wave, telegraph, Burgers,
Black-Merton-Scholes, Schroedinger and Korteweg-de Vries
equations.The complexification of the spatial variable is done by
two different methods. The first method is that of complexifying
the spatial variable in the corresponding semigroups of operators.
In this case, the solutions are studied within the context of the
theory of semigroups of linear operators. It is also interesting to
observe that these solutions preserve some geometric properties of
the boundary function, like the univalence, starlikeness, convexity
and spirallikeness. The second method is that of complexifying the
spatial variable directly in the corresponding evolution equation
from the real case. More precisely, the real spatial variable is
replaced by a complex spatial variable in the corresponding
evolution equation and then analytic and non-analytic solutions are
sought.For the first time in the book literature, we aim to give a
comprehensive study of the most important evolution equations of
real time variable and complex spatial variables. In some cases,
potential physical interpretations are presented. The generality of
the methods used allows the study of evolution equations of spatial
variables in general domains of the complex plane.

treatment of sexual pain in women and is now fully updated in a
second edition. The book includes diagnostic tools to differentiate
among different forms of dyspareunia, discussions of potential
causes of sexual pain, and current knowledge in multi-disciplinary
treatments for dyspareunia. Focused on providing practical guidance
to the working practitioner, this book includes information to:
Help evaluate and distinguish the causes of sexual pain in women
Assist in the differentiation of the many forms of sexual pain
Implement multi-disciplinary treatments Female Sexual Pain
Disorders is perfect for any healthcare worker who is involved in
treating women's sexual health, including gynecologists,
urologists, internists, family practitioners, nurse practitioners,
physician assistants, midwives, psychologists, and sex therapists.
Dedicated to Professor Albert Herz, a leading investigator in
opioid research, this book provides comprehensive information on
the biology of exogenous and endogenous opioids. Contributions by
experts in the field discuss recent advances and provide
systematic, up-to-date reviews of the physiology and pharmacology
of opioids, as well as on the cellular and molecular mechanisms
underlying opioid actions. In recognition of the diverse
methodologies now available to researchers, each chapter details
the approaches used to address a specific issue and provides an
in-depth analysis of the data obtained by these various
experimental approaches. The clinical relevance of recent findings,
as well as future directions, in opioid research are also
discussed. This volume thus represents a timely and invaluable
sourcebook for researchers, clinicians, and students interested in
opioids and peptidergic systems.

Although heart failure typically begins with the left side of the
heart, it is also important for cardiologists to understand
right-sided heart failure, which is the inability of the right side
of the heart to adequately pump venous blood into the pulmonary
circulation. Right heart failure causes a back-up of fluid in the
body, resulting in swelling and edema. This issue covers the normal
right ventricle (RV), imaging of the RV, RV failure in a variety of
settings, and tratmen tof RV failure, including interventions.
