John Wiley and Sons Ltd Stem Cell Biology: Development and Plasticity,
Book SynopsisStem cells have generated considerable interest recently in the scientific, clinical, and public arenas. It is essential that we gain a broader understanding of the factors that regulate the biology of stem cells: their ability for self-renewal, differentiation, and plasticity, as well as the differences between embryonic and adult stem cells. And to learn whether stem cells can be manipulated to replace cells in diseased tissues depends on better understanding their normal developmental properties. This volume offers contributions from numerous interdisciplinary areas bridging biotechnology and biomedical sciences. The ability to isolate and maintain pluripotent stem cells in culture offers exciting possibilities for replacing damaged or diseased organs and tissues. Moreover, stem cells will provide opportunities for major advances in our understanding of fundamental developmental processes. The study of pluripotent stem cells derived from early embryos or fetal tissues has shown that they are capable of replicating indefinitely in vitro and possess the ability to differentiate into many cell types. Biotechnological advances under which growth conditions and factors can be identified and characterized are needed to guide such cells to form organ-specific tissues. Biomedical researchers are also investigating approaches to isolate and manipulate adult-derived multipotential stem cells that appear to possess considerably broader differentiation capacity than originally imagined. Novel therapeutic strategies are being developed to take advantage of the ability of stem cells to proliferate in culture and to survive after transplantation into various tissues, where they may integrate and stably express foreign genes, or repopulate damaged or diseased organs such as the heart, brain, or pancreas. These presentations foster a broader understanding of the factors that regulate the biology and plasticity of stem cells through the picture they provide of the "state of the science" of stem cell biology and by framing the many questions that remain to be answered.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Neuroimunomodulation in Health and Disease I:
Book SynopsisThis is one of two Annals volumes that present papers by speakers at the 8th International Society for Neuroimmodulation Congress held in Dresden, Germany, October 2011. The papers focus on interactions among the immune, endocrine, and nervous systems that occur at multiple levels, from intracellular pathways by immune and neuro-endocrine mediators, to the exchange of information between the three systems that results in physiologic and adaptive effects. In certain instances, however, these interactions may be unbalanced or even disrupted, which can contribute to pathology, and aspects of such pathobiology are presented in some of the contributions. This volume focuses on the basic science of immune-neuro-endocrine interactions.Table of ContentsForeword for Neuroimmunomodulation in Health and Disease Adriana del Rey C. Jane Welsh Markus J.

WW Norton & Co Lithium: A Doctor, a Drug, and a Breakthrough
Book SynopsisFrom insulin comas and lobotomy to incarceration; those who suffered bipolar disorder endured dangerous, ineffective treatments for centuries until a breakthrough in the 1950s offered salvation. Lithium’s efficacy at both ending and preventing manic depressive episodes was discovered by John Cade, whose years running a psychiatric ward as a prisoner of war sparked a hunch that put him on the path to revelation. The miraculous metal has since salvaged an untold number of lives but even after its healing power was discovered, it was decades before the medical community could be convinced that lithium was not only safe but life-saving. Walter A. Brown reveals how close we came to missing out on this extraordinary drug and showcasing the possibilities of scientific curiosity.Trade Review"The intertwined story of Cade and his momentous finding is told in Lithium, a compelling book by US psychiatrist Walter Brown... What Brown does superbly well is to show that Cade made his discovery without access to advances in technology or to modern facilities — and almost despite them." -- Nature"His [Walter Brown's] beautifully written and insightful book deserves to be widely read by poets and novelists, among whom instances of bipolar disorder are above average, and, more importantly, by all those involved in the regulation and provision of medicines." -- Literary Review

ISTE Ltd and John Wiley & Sons Inc Therapeutic Progress in Oncology: Towards a
Book SynopsisThe combined effects of population growth and aging have led to an increase in the number of cancers. Preventing, diagnosing, treating and curing cancer are therefore, more than ever, imperatives facing medicine especially to continue the decrease in cancers� mortality rates and to improve the quality of survival. Over time, the �classic� modes of treatment (surgery, external beam radiotherapy, chemotherapy) have become more refined and efficient. From the beginning of this century, new therapeutic options have been developed: targeted cancer therapy, targeted radionuclide therapy and immunologic therapies based on monoclonal antibodies, cellular therapy and vaccinations. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are also being introduced to the field of oncology. Starting with the basic scientific principles relevant to oncology, this book explains and makes these concepts and innovations accessible to a wide audience especially in the interest of patients. It also contributes to the oncological field of 4P medicine with 4P standing for predictive, preventive, personalized and participative.Table of ContentsPreface ix Acknowledgments xi Introduction xiii Chapter 1.

ISTE Ltd and John Wiley & Sons Inc Innovation in Sport: Innovation Trajectories and
Book SynopsisWhether in terms of practices, equipment or services, the sports sector is characterized by intense inventiveness and is an excellent subject to study innovation processes. This book provides a sociological reading of these processes, illustrated by case studies that allow us to grasp the complexity of innovation trajectories. The case studies highlight the astonishing pathways, from the origin of inventions to their effective dissemination and use, and including the bifurcations of projects. The “surprises” thus presented refer to an invariant of innovation processes, namely that trajectories are rarely linear and that the control exercised over them is relative. Innovation in Sport concludes with a set of recommendations for optimizing the management of sport innovation. This book is intended for students of sports science and management, as well as for professionals and entrepreneurs in the sports markets.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements ix Introduction xi Chapter 1 Theoretical Elements: A Multidisciplinary Framework between Sociology and Management of Innovation 1 1.1 Classical approaches to innovation 2 1.2 Approaches based on uses and users 6 1.2.1 The lead-user theory: the user-innovator 6 1.2.2 Innovation through use: user participation 9 1.2.3 Co-creating value: the consumer at the heart of innovation 10 1.3 The socio-technical approach to innovation: networks and attachment 13 1.4 Critical innovation studies 19 1.5 Lessons learned from resistance to innovation and unsuccessful processes 21 1.6 Conclusion 22 Chapter 2 The Different Phases of Innovation Trajectories 25 2.1 Proposal for an interpretive framework 25 2.2 Breakdown of the methodology 26 2.3 Ideation and invention 32 2.3.1 Innovation program and strategic intent 44 2.3.2 Construction, characterization and evolution of the socio-technical innovation network 50 2.3.3 Key moments in innovation trajectories 59 2.4 Relations with users and the market 64 2.5 Success or failure: assessment of the innovation project and effects on the organizations 72 Chapter 3 Detailed Accounts of Three Sports Innovation Trajectories 83 3.1 The dualski: making downhill skiing accessible to people with disabilities 84 3.1.1 Technical description of the device 84 3.1.2 Ideation: at the intersection of several actors and projects 86 3.1.3 Innovation program: towards the empowerment of disabled people 90 3.1.4 Composition and dynamics of the innovation network surrounding wheelchair skiing 90 3.1.5 Relations with users and the market 100 3.1.6 Conclusion 103 3.2 The Booster Elite calf compression sleeve from BV Sport: innovating to promote recovery and prevent injuries 104 3.2.1 Presentation of the product 104 3.2.2 Ideation phase 106 3.2.3 Innovation program and strategic intent 107 3.2.4 Construction, characterization and evolution of the socio-technical network 108 3.2.5 Key moments in the innovation trajectory 115 3.2.6 Compromises made by BV Sport: between science and market realities 118 3.2.7 Market and user relations 119 3.2.8 Conclusion 124 3.3 Hyperion 7: innovating in the field of video recording sports events 125 3.3.1 The invention phase: the collective emergence of an idea that is less original than adequately problematized 128 3.3.2 The creation of an innovation network focused on the issue of security 131 3.3.3 A network of territorialized actors with its own rules 138 3.3.4 A deliberately delayed step: starting a business 140 3.3.5 The business model envisaged 143 3.3.6 Early and unexpected prospects for diversification 144 3.3.7 A dizzying prospect 147 3.4 Appendices 148 3.4.1 The company Booster Veines Sport (BV Sport) 148 3.4.2 Strategic intent 149 3.5 Sources used 149 3.5.1 Tessier Dualski 149 3.5.2 BV Sport compression sleeve 151 Conclusion: Recommendations for the Management of Sports Organizations 153 References 161 Index 175

ISTE Ltd Interactions between the Geosphere and the
Book SynopsisSince their origins billions of years ago, life on Earth and the planet's surface have undergone profound transformations. Microorganisms inhabiting a primitive planet enveloped by a dioxygen-free atmosphere have evolved into the modern biodiversity under the physico-chemical conditions we know today. In Interactions between the Geosphere and the Biosphere, we characterize the nature and diversity of the close interactions between the biosphere and the geosphere that contributed to the formation and degradation of rocks, on the one hand, and sustained the functioning of ecological systems on the other. The book then explores how these interactions have led to a genuine coevolution between the biosphere and the geosphere over geological time. The most striking manifestations of this are the evolution of the global biogeochemical cycles of carbon and nitrogen, that of climates and the episodes of diversification and extinction of living organisms.

James Currey South Africa's Gold Mines and the Politics of
Book SynopsisExamines the silicosis crisis in the South African mining industry, and reveals how the rate of, often fatal, tuberculosis among black migrant miners was hidden for over a century. South Africa's gold mines are the largest and historically among the most profitable in the world. Yet at what human cost? This book reveals how the mining industry, abetted by a minority state, hid a pandemic of silicosis for almost a century and allowed miners infected with tuberculosis to spread disease to rural communities in South Africa and to labour-sending states. In the twentieth century, South African mines twice faced a crisis over silicosis, which put its workers at risk of contracting pulmonary tuberculosis, often fatal. The first crisis, 1896-1912, saw the mining industry invest heavily in reducing dust and South Africa became renowned for its mine safety. The second began in 2000 with mounting scientific evidence that the disease rate among miners is more than a hundred times higher than officially acknowledged. The first crisis also focused upon disease among the minority white miners: the current crisis is about black migrant workers, and is subject to major class actions for compensation.

Springer London Ltd Cardiovascular MRI in Practice: A Teaching File Approach
Book SynopsisCardiovascular MR imaging has become a robust, clinically useful mod- ity, and the rapid pace of innovation and important information it conveys have attracted many students whose goal is to become adept practitioners. In turn, many excellent textbooks have been written to aid this process. These books are necessary and useful in helping the student learn the underlying pulse sequences used in CMR, as well as the imaging findings in a variety of disorders. However, one of the difficulties inherent in learning CMR from a book is that the printed format is not the ideal medium to d- play the dynamic imaging that comprises a typical CMR case. For instance, it may be difficult to perceive focal areas of wall motion abnormality on serial static pictures, but these abnormalities are often easily seen on cine loops. One might say that trying to learn CMR solely from a standard textbook with illustrations is like trying to learn to drive by looking at snapshots obtained through the windshield of a moving car. The learner needs to see the cardiac motion and decide if it is normal or abnormal; he or she needs to be in the driver’s seat. An additional limitation of the ava- able textbooks on CMR is that while they often have superb illustrations of abnormal findings, these images have been preselected.Table of ContentsTechniques and Applications.- Overview.- The Standard Cardiac Exam.- Ischemic Heart Disease and Non-Ischemic Cardiomyopathies.- Hemodynamic Assessment and Congenital Heart Disease.- Pericardial Disease and Cardiac Masses.- MR Angiography: General Principles.- Body MRA.- Peripheral MRA.- Cases.- Teaching File Case 1.- Teaching File Case 2.- Teaching File Case 3.- Teaching File Case 4.- Teaching File Case 5.- Teaching File Case 6.- Teaching File Case 7.- Teaching File Case 8.- Teaching File Case 9.- Teaching File Case 10.- Teaching File Case 11.- Teaching File Case 12.- Teaching File Case 13.- Teaching File Case 14.- Teaching File Case 15.- Teaching File Case 16.- Teaching File Case 17.- Teaching File Case 18.- Teaching File Case 19.- Teaching File Case 20.- Teaching File Case 21.- Teaching File Case 22.- Teaching File Case 23.- Teaching File Case 24.- Teaching File Case 25.- Teaching File Case 26.- Teaching File Case 27.- Teaching File Case 28.- Teaching File Case 29.- Teaching File Case 30.- Teaching File Case 31.- Teaching File Case 32.- Teaching File Case 33.- Teaching File Case 34.- Teaching File Case 35.- Teaching File Case 36.- Teaching File Case 37.- Teaching File Case 38.- Teaching File Case 39.- Teaching File Case 40.- Teaching File Case 41.- Teaching File Case 42.- Teaching File Case 43.- Teaching File Case 44.- Teaching File Case 45.- Teaching File Case 46.- Teaching File Case 47.- Teaching File Case 48.- Teaching File Case 49.- Teaching File Case 50.- Teaching File Case 51.- Teaching File Case 52.- Teaching File Case 53.- Teaching File Case 54.- Teaching File Case 55.- Teaching File Case 56.- Teaching File Case 57.- Teaching File Case 58.- Teaching File Case 59.- Teaching File Case 60.- Teaching File Case 61.- Teaching File Case 62.- Teaching File Case 63.- Teaching File Case 64.- Teaching File Case 65.- Teaching File Case 66.- Teaching File Case 67.- Teaching File Case 68.- Teaching File Case 69.- Teaching File Case 70.- Teaching File Case 71.- Teaching File Case 72.- Teaching File Case 73.- Teaching File Case 74.- Teaching File Case 75.- Teaching File Case 76.- Teaching File Case 77.- Teaching File Case 78.- Teaching File Case 79.- Teaching File Case 80.- Teaching File Case 81.- Teaching File Case 82.- Teaching File Case 83.- Teaching File Case 84.- Teaching File Case 85.- Teaching File Case 86.- Teaching File Case 87.- Teaching File Case 88.- Teaching File Case 89.- Teaching File Case 90.- Teaching File Case 91.- Teaching File Case 92.- Teaching File Case 93.- Teaching File Case 94.- Teaching File Case 95.- Teaching File Case 96.- Teaching File Case 97.- Teaching File Case 98.- Teaching File Case 99.- Teaching File Case 100.- Teaching File Case 101.- Teaching File Case 102.- Teaching File Case 103.- Teaching File Case 104.- Teaching File Case 105.- Teaching File Case 106.- Teaching File Case 107.- Teaching File Case 108.- Teaching File Case 109.- Teaching File Case 110.- Teaching File Case 111.- Teaching File Case 112.- Teaching File Case 113.- Teaching File Case 114.- Teaching File Case 115.- Teaching File Case 116.- Teaching File Case 117.- Teaching File Case 118.- Teaching File Case 119.- Teaching File Case 120.- Teaching File Case 121.- Teaching File Case 122.- Teaching File Case 123.- Teaching File Case 124.- Teaching File Case 125.- Teaching File Case 126.- Teaching File Case 127.- Teaching File Case 128.- Teaching File Case 129.- Teaching File Case 130.- Teaching File Case 131.- Teaching File Case 132.- Teaching File Case 133.- Teaching File Case 134.- Teaching File Case 135.- Teaching File Case 136.- Teaching File Case 137.- Teaching File Case 138.- Teaching File Case 139.- Teaching File Case 140.- Teaching File Case 141.- Teaching File Case 142.- Teaching File Case 143.- Teaching File Case 144.- Teaching File Case 145.- Teaching File Case 146.- Teaching File Case 147.- Teaching File Case 148.- Teaching File Case 149.- Teaching File Case 150.

Springer London Ltd Pocket Primer on the Rheumatic Diseases
Book SynopsisFor eight decades the Primer on the Rheumatic Diseases has been the standard text from which most medical students and house ofcers have learned rheumatology. I myself will never forget thumbing through an older edition of the Primer as a second-year resident, while waiting to review a perplexing patient with my tutor. Fortunately the tutor was r- ning late with his own patients, so I had time to fip through the book – then much thinner – a couple of times. While turning the pages, per- ing the features of those diseases whose names were still exotic to me, and considering my patient’s history of conductive hearing loss and p- monary nodules, a light went on when I stumbled eventually on a part- ular chapter. I still remember the jaw-dropping efect on my tutor of my announcement then that I had a patient with Wegener’s granulomatosis. I think I became a rheumatologist that very moment! Subsequent editions of the Primer have sufered from the inevitable “obesity creep,” making it an outstanding reference textbook but virtually impossible to fip through quickly while awaiting one’s tutor, and even more difcult to slip into the pocket of a white coat to carry on rounds. For this reason we have created the Pocket Primer, a mini version that cuts the larger book down to its essentials.Table of ContentsHistory and Physical Examination.- Laboratory Assessment.- Arthrocentesis and Synovial Fluid Analysis.- Imaging Techniques.- Monarticular Joint Disease.- Polyarticular Joint Disease.- Regional Rheumatic Pain Syndromes.- Fibromyalgia and Diffuse Pain Syndromes.- Rheumatoid Arthritis.- Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis.- Psoriatic Arthritis.- Ankylosing Spondylitis.- Reactive and Enteropathic Arthritis.- Osteoarthritis.- Calcium Pyrophosphate Dihydrate, Hydroxyapatite, and Miscellaneous Crystals.- Infectious Disorders.- Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.- Antiphospholipid Syndrome.- Systemic Sclerosis.- Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies.- Metabolic Myopathies.- Sjögren’s Syndrome.- Vasculitides.- Behçet’s Syndrome.- Adult Still’s Disease.- Autoinflammatory Disorders/Periodic Syndromes.- Less Common Arthropathies.- Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.- Osteonecrosis.- Paget’S Disease.- Osteoporosis.- Therapeutic Injections.- Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs.- Glucocorticoids.- Operative Treatment.- Complementary and Alternative Therapies.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Nurse Led Change and Development in Clinical
Book SynopsisHow may nurses be enabled to contribute to, develop and advance their practice when working in bureaucratic and hierarchical health care settings? Corporate recognition and support for nurse-led change and development is gradually increasing. However, ?top down? change is still frequently imposed without due regard for the wisdom of practitioners. Nurses should explore the theory and practice of change, identify changes to enhance the quality of patient care, and systematically put these into practice. As a result, they will be better equipped to cope with the implementation of national and local policy initiatives, which include shared clinical governance and evidence based nursing practice, both of which are described in this text.This book documents how nurses attempt to undertake change and development in clinical practice through the use of the exploratory, creative, innovative and empowering process of critical action research. The text illustrates the evolution and outcome of the change process. The personal developmental process of engaging in collaborative change in clinical practice is clearly evident. Change is very difficult and complex and if it is to be accomplished successfully it needs to be clearly understood. Consequently, the book also explores the complexity of attempting change in clinical practice. This includes the identification of some of the disempowering processes (both actual and imagined) that currently exist in health care settings.Table of ContentsThe Context for Nurse-led Change and Development. Evolving Clinical change and Action Research. The Integration of Theory and Practice. Preparing for The First Study. The Evolving Critical Action Research Process. The Process and Outcomes of The First Study. The Evolving Critical Action Research Process. The Process and Outcomes of The First Study. Development of The Second Study. Advancing The Change Process.

Mac Keith Press Tics and Tourette Syndrome: Key Clinical
Book SynopsisUnlike much of the literature on Tourette syndrome disorders, this book moves away from focusing on the tics and acknowledges that sometimes it is the disorder, such as ADHD, DCD, and OCD, that is the most pressing problem. Roger Freeman, considered a world expert in developmental neurology, shares his vast experience on tic disorders in an informal but highly informative style. He discusses recent advances in the identification and management of tic disorders that many clinicians may be unfamiliar with.

Mac Keith Press Children and Youth with Complex Cerebral Palsy:
Book SynopsisChildren with complex cerebral palsy (typically, but not always, GMFCS levels IV and V) require skilled management and extensive expertise which can be overwhelming or intimidating for many clinical practitioners. This book explores management of the many medical comorbidities these children encounter, including orthopedic concerns, mobility and equipment needs, cognition and sensory impairment, difficult behaviors, seizures, respiratory complications and nutritional challenges, among many others. Summary points at the end of each chapter provide at-a-glance access to key recommendations. In addition, an Appendix provides adaptable care tools to guide clinicians in evaluation, preventive care and crisis management. Importantly, the book includes contributions from parents of children with cerebral palsy and youth with cerebral palsy, providing unique and critical wisdom for family-centred care. Parents and families of children and youth with complex cerebral palsy will particularly appreciate the inclusion of chapters on adolescence, transition to adulthood, and growing up, growing well with cerebral palsy.Table of ContentsAuthor Appointments Acknowledgements Preface Opening Quote 1.
