Early in the planning of this Centenary Edition, the editors
decided to set aside a final volume for those works of Hawthorne
that did not find a place in the previous volumes. Many of these
works were written early in Hawthorne's career, going back as far
as his precollege years, and from the still hazily understood time
of his earliest periodical publications - sometimes pseudonymous,
more often anonymous. The Life of Franklin Pierce - which did not
belong with the romances, however loud the satirical charges of
political opponents that it did - finds its place in this volume,
along with the first complete publication of Pierce's Mexican
diary, which Hawthorne used in composing his Life.
When Sub-Lieutenant Jack Durant's ship sailed into Miami, back in
1936, little did he envisage the dramatic change to his life. Dear,
sweet, caring Ruth left behind in Brixham, Devon. When would he
return to her for ever? He was her own sweetheart., and how she
missed him. Now, he and his fellow officers had been invited to
that shindig at the Country Club, some girl's eighteenth birthday
....... Beautiful Kate with the sapphire blue eyes had been so
excited that day, pampered by good old pops, Commander Bart Harman.
How could any stylist improve upon perfection? Oh, if Kate's mom
could see her now, but she could ..... from Heaven above. How like
Grace. And now .... with the party in full swing ....... who was
that young officer melting into Kate's soulful gaze? Bart felt that
paternal tug of his heart strings as he saw her grow into a woman
before his eyes. He knew now that nothing would ever be the same,
she was no longer his little girl. But the world was changing, God
alone knew what was in store across that mighty ocean, Jack was in
the Royal Navy, and the ship was sailing soon to South America.
What hopes and dreams may be shattered? What of the MIZPAH ring
Jack carried? To be given to the love of his life .............
Ruth? Kate? ....... or would the seas carry him to another? Only
the events of the ensuing years and journeys to distance shores
will unravel the torment of their lives.

This book introduces the Ontology of Physics for Biology (OPB), a
computable knowledge resource for representing, annotating, and
reasoning about multiscale, multidomain physiological systems. It
links qualitative reasoning to quantitative analysis of biophysical
processes in health and disease. The authors’ work is presented
in the context of two major public health problems, diabetes and
hypertension, to illustrate the depth and rigor of their semantic
representations for logical inference and quantitative analysis.
OPB provides a computable representation of classical physics and
engineering system dynamics that serve as the basis for scientific
understanding of biophysical entities, processes, and their
functional relationships. The formal semantic definitions in the
OPB are useful for annotating, abstracting, and reusing the
biophysical content of available physics-based models and for
analyses of multiscale, multidomain models and data. The authors
present their formalized view of physics-based biological knowledge
from the perspectives of (1) biologists and biomedical
investigators, (2) biophysicists and bioengineers, and (3)
biomedical ontologists and informaticists. The authors’ unique
approach for formally representing and organizing the scientific
knowledge articulated in models of biological systems is applicable
across a wide range of scientific research domains and biological
scales. The book will be a useful guide for undergraduate,
graduate, and professional students of bioinformatics, biomedical
ontology, and biophysical modeling.
CARING FOR THE DISPLACED AND UNINSURED An essential text to
understanding key aspects of caring for uninsured people from
underserved populations Caring for the Displaced and Uninsured
presents clinical case studies that focus on the issues faced
primarily by patients who are uninsured, self-paying, or are
visiting from their home countries. While addressing the clinical
aspects of primary care for a variety of conditions, these case
studies go a step further to confront the issues faced by patients
who seek care in clinics for the uninsured. Each case highlights
the challenges presented by cultural, language and economic
differences to providing high quality care, in particular for those
whose jobs negatively affect their health, such as through
musculoskeletal pain, neurological problems, prolonged standing,
depression, or anxiety about feeding and housing their families.
The cases explore how the healthcare provider approaches care with
insufficient resources for patients who may have fled torture and
violence, poverty and homelessness to face new challenges in the
United States. The healthcare provider plays a key role in the
adjustment of people seeking a better life for themselves and their
families. Caring for the Displaced and Uninsured addresses: Issues
related to family, medication, food, housing, finances, work,
trauma, mental health, specialty access, delayed screening,
visitors, and immigration How to think in broader terms when
treating immigrant or uninsured patients The nuances of treating
patients who have lived outside of their home country, apart from
their families, for many years Tips for providing quality
healthcare within the parameters that currently exist in the
healthcare system This text provides valuable insight and
perspective for nursing and healthcare students, particularly those
taking community health classes and classes that focus on uninsured
and underserved populations.
The Family Nurse Practitioner provides essential guidance and
information for understanding how to diagnose and manage typical
(and some atypical) patient cases. With contributions from noted
experts on the topic, this new edition contains updated cases to
reflect today's patient-centered approach, and includes the most
recent advances in patient care. From neonatal to geriatric, all
the cases demonstrate real-life scenarios and present appropriate
solutions on a case-by-case basis to reflect the nuance required in
practice. The revised edition emphasizes pharmacological
management, with a new section on mental health care and additional
cases on chronic conditions. Greater consideration is given to
race, gender, ethnicity and their impact on management options.
Contains more than 70 case studies Offers new cases on pelvic pain,
substance abuse, food allergies, celiac disease, child abuse,
pre-conception planning, and dermatology Includes discussion
questions to help develop understanding Written for students and
academics of nursing and nurse practitioners, The Family Nurse
Practitioner is the ideal text for developing and expanding one's
knowledge and comprehension of the diagnosis and management of
patient care.
Epilepsy is a common chronic neurological disorder characterised
by recurrent unprovoked seizures, and affects 50 million people
worldwide. Approximately 30% of these do not have seizure control
even with the best available medications, hence renewed and
increasing interest in the use of dietary treatments to treat
epilepsy. These treatments include the traditional ketogenic diets
but also the newer modified Atkins diet and low glycaemic index
treatment.
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein,
low-carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used primarily to treat
refractory epilepsy in children, and requires the dedicated support
of a multi-disciplinary team including doctors and dietitians.
"Dietary Treatment of Epilepsy: Practical Implementation of
Ketogenic Therapy" provides comprehensive and practical training on
all aspects of implementing and managing dietary treatments for
epilepsy, with key chapters on assessment, calculations,
implementation, monitoring and complications.
Edited by a highly respected expert in the field supported by a
strong team of contributors, this is a must-have resource for
paediatric dietitians and other members of the therapy team.
