Hopes are high that stem cell (SC) research will lead to treatments and cures for some of the most serious diseases affecting humankind today. SC science has been used in a treatment setting in the replacement of patients' windpipes and in restoring sight to patients who were blind in one eye and in future it is hoped that when the body is injured it will be able to be stimulated to produce those types of SCs necessary to repair the particular damage caused. In the meantime, research into specific treatments for a wide range of serious conditions is being undertaken including Alzheimer's disease, cancer, and diabetes.
The book considers the regulatory governance of stem cell research, setting out a readily understandable account of the science and the challenges it poses for regulators as the research is increasingly being clinically applied. It provides a critical account of those elements of a regulatory system which will be required for any jurisdiction aiming to facilitate innovative and productive SC research while maintaining appropriate ethical and legal controls. The book addresses the specific failings in the current regulatory approach to SC research in the UK and goes on to look at the regulatory approaches in the US.
The book systematically analyses the roles and responsibilities of the three key participants who collaborate in this process: regulators, scientists and tissue providers, arguing that a regulatory system which fails to recognise and facilitate the vital role which each of these three groups plays runs the risk of impairing the chances of the hopes for SC research being realised. The book places a particular emphasis on ensuring that those who contribute their bodily tissues to this endeavour are treated fairly, involving a recognition that their tissues are their property.
Описание: The incidence of cancer is alarmingly increasing worldwide. The major problem that the medical profession is currently facing refers to "late presentation" patients who, for the most part, have reached the terminal stage of the illness. For these people, the only treatment option left is palliative care. Various patterns of palliation have been in practice in every culture and in every ethnic group for generations. Unfortunately, we still lack significant and sustained investment in research related to the practice of palliative care. Authors from around the globe seek more investment of public and private funds to investigate ways to improve the bedside practice of palliative care. Modern palliative care concepts were established by Dame Cicely Saunders, from London, UK, right after World War II. It is only in the past 15 to 20 years that this new discipline started to develop in the developing world. However, we still lack the essential basic biological processes involved in relieving the suffering of cancer patients while receiving palliative measures throughout the trajectory of the disease. This book owes its origins in large measure to physicians and nurses in 30 countries globally, who decided to devote their time, energy, compassion and goodwill, to the promotion of palliative care in their countries and communities, yet they lack solid evidence-based data to rely upon while extending their treatment to both patients and family members. The goal, in part, is to bridge the gap between scientists and clinicians from developed countries and those in developing countries. We have been aware of the variances between cultures, traditions, beliefs and practices. I am continually struck by the seemingly diametrical views of "knowing" and cultures and the strong overlaps that might give rise to new ideas. We hope that these new volumes will serve to inspire health professionals and administrators interests and appreciation for the investment in basic and clinical research that will serve to advance our understanding of the underlying physical and emotional factors involved while extending palliative care to patients suffering from cancer and other non-communicable illnesses.

Описание: Epidemiology faces its limits: the search for subtle links between diet, lifestyle, or environmental factors and disease is an unending source of fear - but often yields little certainty. Studies on weak associations - or small effects - often produce contradictory results which confuse the public.
Описание: This book represents the most current development on the expanding and changing field of telemedicine and e-health, especially in the developing countries.
Many things have changed since the publication of the first book in 2004 ("Establishing Telemedicine in Developing Countries: From Inception to Implementation"). Telemedicine has
become more popular, and still continues to grow.
While there are many good books and materials on telemedicine, this publication can be seen as a work of reference for all
of those who want to practice telemedicine and e-health, particularly in developing countries.This publication deals with ways to establish telemedicine and e-health system, not only in
the developing countries, but also in the developed world. Hopefully, this book will be a guide that reflects the status of telemedicine at the given time. It is dedicated to all future
generations of telemedicine and e-health students, which include healthcare practitioners, administrators, policy makers, technical professionals and others.

Описание: Advances in Health and Disease. Volume 19 begins by exploring differential diagnosis, a compilation of diagnostic possibilities, typically through the medium of evaluation of the prior probability of a specific diagnosis, given a particular test result (so-called Bayesian analysis). The authors discuss corticosteroids which have become indispensable in the treatment of a number of dermatological conditions. The advancement of newer steroid molecules with their vast anti-inflammatory, anti-mitotic, immunosuppressive and vasoconstrictive actions has completely changed dermatology. This compilation also addresses angiogenesis or neovascularization,the physiological process involving the sprouting of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones. These processes are vital for tissue development and wound healing in damaged tissues. Bovine mastitis in India in India is studied, particularly the diagnostic techniques used for the rapid detection of microorganisms from bovine mastitic milk. This collection covers some issues related to the acetabulum, such as the treatment of acetabular fractures which affect the anterior column, the modified Stoppa technique in acetabular fractures, and the surgical treatment of displaced acetabular fractures with a pararectus approach. In addition, some issues related to the shoulder are discussed, such as the evaluation of rotator cuff tears, approaches for shoulder instability, subacromial impingement syndrome, superior labrum anterior posterior lesions, and frozen shoulder. Diaphyseal clavicle fractures, distal clavicle fractures and acromioclavicular joint dislocation, scapular neck and body fractures, glenoid fractures, and other relevant issues are also discussed. The penultimate chapter focuses on matters pertaining to the humerus, such as: the non-operative treatment of proximal humerus fractures, internal fixation in proximal humerus fractures, hemiarthroplasty in proximal humerus fractures, and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty in proximal humerus fractures. In closing, using a phenomenological design, the researchers explore the experience of suffering as voiced by male and female patients six to twelve months after hospitalization for blunt trauma.
