Migraine Biology, Diagnosis, and Co-Morbidities, Volume 195 covers
a wide range of issues related to migraine. The epidemiology,
global and personal impacts of migraine are covered, including
topics on the pathophysiology of migraine and migraine aura, the
pathophysiology of the associated symptoms of photophobia and
phonophobia, and the genetics of migraine. The classification and
diagnostic criteria of common and uncommon subtypes of migraine are
also explored in detail, including childhood variants. Issues
related to the diagnosis and management of vestibular migraine and
the co-morbid disorder of persistent postural-perceptual dizziness
are also covered. The important comorbidities of migraine such as
anxiety, depression and other forms of chronic pain will also be
discussed, along with the current state and future directions of
migraine research and management.
Migraine Management, Volume 196 covers the effective treatment of
migraines, including different subtypes of migraines in different
patient populations. The classification and diagnostic criteria of
common and uncommon subtypes of migraine is explored in detail,
including childhood variants. An in-depth analysis of the
pharmacology of acute and prophylactic agents is presented, along
with an evidence-based review of pharmacologic management. This
includes recently developed CGRP monoclonal antibodies and
non-peptide small molecule CGRP antagonists. Advances in
neuromodulatory treatments, both noninvasive and implantable, are
also critically reviewed. Finally, specific treatment-related
issues in pregnancy and lactation and childhood as well as the
elderly are covered. Issues related to the diagnosis and management
of vestibular migraine and the co-morbid disorder of persistent
postural-perceptual dizziness is also explored.
Adhesives are widely used in the manufacture and assembly of
electronic circuits and products. Generally, electronics design
engineers and manufacturing engineers are not well versed in
adhesives, while adhesion chemists have a limited knowledge of
electronics. This book bridges these knowledge gaps and is useful
to both groups. The book includes chapters covering types of
adhesive, the chemistry on which they are based, and their
properties, applications, processes, specifications, and
reliability. Coverage of toxicity, environmental impacts and the
regulatory framework make this book particularly important for
engineers and managers alike. The third edition has been updated
throughout and includes new sections on nanomaterials,
environmental impacts and new environmentally friendly 'green'
adhesives. Information about regulations and compliance has been
brought fully up-to-date. As well as providing full coverage of
standard adhesive types, Licari explores the most recent
developments in fields such as: * Tamper-proof adhesives for
electronic security devices. * Bio-compatible adhesives for
implantable medical devices. * Electrically conductive adhesives to
replace toxic tin-lead solders in printed circuit assembly - as
required by regulatory regimes, e.g. the EU's Restriction of
Hazardous Substances Directive or RoHS (compliance is required for
all products placed on the European market). * Nano-fillers in
adhesives, used to increase the thermal conductivity of current
adhesives for cooling electronic devices.
"Many white Christians across America are waking up to the fact
that something is seriously wrong-but often this is where we get
stuck." Confronted by the deep-rooted racial injustice in our
society, many white Christians instinctively scramble to add
diversity to their churches and ministries. But is diversity really
the answer to the widespread racial dysfunction we see in the
church? In this simple but powerful book, Pastor David Swanson
contends that discipleship, not diversity, lies at the heart of our
white churches' racial brokenness. Before white churches can pursue
diversity, he argues, we must first take steps to address the
faulty discipleship that has led to our segregation in the first
place. Drawing on the work of philosopher James K. A. Smith and
others, Swanson proposes that we rethink our churches' habits, or
liturgies, and imagine together holistic, communal discipleship
practices that can reform us as members of Christ's diverse body.
Scientific advances and economic forces have converged to create
something unthinkable for much of human history: a robust market in
human body products. Every year, countless Americans supply blood,
sperm, and breast milk to "banks" that store these products for
later use by strangers in routine medical procedures. These
exchanges entail complicated questions. Which body products are
donated and which sold? Who gives and who receives? And, in the
end, who profits? In this eye-opening study, Kara Swanson traces
the history of body banks from the nineteenth-century experiments
that discovered therapeutic uses for body products to
twenty-first-century websites that facilitate a thriving global
exchange. More than a metaphor, the "bank" has shaped ongoing
controversies over body products as either marketable commodities
or gifts donated to help others. A physician, Dr. Bernard Fantus,
proposed a "bank" in 1937 to make blood available to all patients.
Yet the bank metaphor labeled blood as something to be commercially
bought and sold, not communally shared. As blood banks became a
fixture of medicine after World War II, American doctors made them
a frontline in their war against socialized medicine. The
profit-making connotations of the "bank" reinforced a market-based
understanding of supply and distribution, with unexpected
consequences for all body products, from human eggs to kidneys.
Ultimately, the bank metaphor straitjacketed legal codes and
reinforced inequalities in medical care. By exploring its past,
Banking on the Body charts the path to a more efficient and less
exploitative distribution of the human body's life-giving
potential.
An anecdotal guide for the perplexed new investigator as well as a
refreshing resource for the old pro, covering everything from
valuable personality traits for an investigator to social factors
conducive to scientific work. Santiago Ramon y Cajal was a mythic
figure in science. Hailed as the father of modern anatomy and
neurobiology, he was largely responsible for the modern conception
of the brain. His groundbreaking works were New Ideas on the
Structure of the Nervous System and Histology of the Nervous System
in Man and Vertebrates. In addition to leaving a legacy of
unparalleled scientific research, Cajal sought to educate the
novice scientist about how science was done and how he thought it
should be done. This recently rediscovered classic, first published
in 1897, is an anecdotal guide for the perplexed new investigator
as well as a refreshing resource for the old pro. Cajal was a
pragmatist, aware of the pitfalls of being too idealistic-and he
had a sense of humor, particularly evident in his diagnoses of
various stereotypes of eccentric scientists. The book covers
everything from valuable personality traits for an investigator to
social factors conducive to scientific work.
As the story begins, Jason Wessman, seated in a hospital waiting
room in Seattle, is about to visit his deathly ill cousin and alter
ego, Jonah Cannard, from whom he has been estranged. The story
involves the two cousins and a neighbor, Wes Jonnamass, who often
serves as a counterpoint to the other two. Jason's presence at the
hospital is due both to Wes and to a fourth man, Noah, Jason's
brother seven years younger, who has encouraged Jason to reunite
with the man whom he has loved but disapproved of for several
years. From boys to men each in his own way voyages toward an
illusive "Byzantium."
The author offers vignettes of each man, sailing together and
alone, upon a similar sea, at times meeting, at times nearly lost.
He shows the reader their impish boyhood adventures, their search
for love and meaning, their choices that threaten their ships, and
the discoveries that sail them into calm seas.
In particular, Jason questions his former judgments. Through
Noah's remarkable intervention and the strange circumstances
surrounding Jonah's painting Sailing to Byzantium, he comes to
understand the choices he and his fellow voyagers have made and the
forgiveness, compassion and love among them.
Praise for "Toward Byzantium"
"The choice of words, the rhythm of the words, the images the
words stimulate, the structure of the sentences, the flow of the
paragraphs, the progression of the chapters, the development of the
themes-simply superb. "Toward Byzantium" is a novel about life's
journeys, conducted in the company of loved ones and strangers,
headed for some destination (Byzantium) that for most of our lives
is cloaked in heavy fog, clouding our vision."
-Jim Geiwitz, author of "Town of Watered Down Whiskey"
