American Psychiatric Association Publishing Clinical Laboratory Medicine for Mental Health Professionals
Book SynopsisA revised, abridged version of the seminal work, Laboratory Medicine in Psychiatry and Behavioral Science, Clinical Laboratory Medicine for Mental Health Professionals more directly address the needs of general psychiatrists and their mental health colleagues in clinical practice. Sections on laboratory tests, diseases and conditions, and psychotropic medications include alphabetically arranged entries, making it easy for busy clinicians to reference the updated information. For each laboratory test, the following information is provided: • The type of test (e.g., blood, urine, etc.)• An explanation of the test• The test's relevance to psychiatry• Patient preparation• Medical and psychiatric indications for the test• Numerical reference ranges• Critical values for test results• The potential meaning of abnormal results (e.g., factors that lead to increased or decreased levels)• Interfering factors• Cross-references to other tests or conditions Information on clinical diagnosis and laboratory testing is provided for diseases and conditions, and psychotropic medications are examined from both a screening and a monitoring standpoint. Extensively indexed, this guide also includes an appendix that features at-a-glance information on therapeutic and psychotropic levels, 10 rules for deciding whether an ECG is normal, and several figures covering topics relevant to tests, such as ECG waves and intervals, cholestatic injury, bilirubin cycle, and SIADH secretion. Years of clinical practice and research inform both the choice of tests included and the rationale for their use, making Clinical Laboratory Medicine for Mental Health Professionals the definitive, authoritative reference for psychiatrists and other behavioral health clinicians.Trade ReviewThis handy book would be very helpful to general psychiatrists or behavioral health practitioners wanting basic and concise information on commonly used clinical laboratory tests in the treatment and management of psychiatric disorders. -- Valerie L.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Abdominal Wall Defects: Prevalence, Surgical
Book SynopsisSince general surgeons first started performing laparotomies in the late 1880''s, acquired hernias and abdominal wall defects have become a surgical disease of their own. Many surgeons have made it their life''s work to develop surgical techniques, design hernia meshes or utilise biologic tissue for repair of these abdominal wall defects. Hernias are defined as a defect in the normal architecture of the abdominal wall muscuolo-aponeuroic structure. They are subdivided into congenital or acquired hernias. The ventral or incisional hernia defects are rare due to the failure of normal healing of the incision after a laparotomy. The approach to the initial repair may be quite straightforward in the patient with a simple fascial defect who is otherwise healthy. As the size of the defect gets beyond 4 cm, or the patient has a significant co-morbid disease, other considerations must come into play. The component separation technique for abdominal wall reconstruction has brought many new young surgeons to focus their skills toward improving it. With the advances in critical care and peri-operative resuscitation together with knowledge of the abdominal compartment syndrome, surgeons are addressing very complicated ventral hernias. They commonly have significant loss of domain, tissue loss due to infection or tumour, or an entero-atmospheric intestinal fistula. The combined information in this text will help the surgeon identify the right surgical technique for the right patient. The focus of the text is the evaluation, prevalence, surgical techniques, and outcomes of patients undergoing complex ventral hernia repairs. The use of preoperative evaluation imaging is reviewed. The multiple etiologies of hernia and abdominal wall defects are mentioned. The surgical repairs utilising tissue repairs, both synthetic and biologic mesh are reviewed, and the component separation is discussed in detail. New endo/laparoscopic component separation techniques are also described. This text will become a must-have for every surgeon who takes care of patients with complex ventral hernias.

Royal Society of Chemistry Peroxynitrite Detection in Biological Media:
Book SynopsisPeroxynitrite is a powerful oxidiser which can damage a wide array of molecules within cells, including DNA and proteins, leading to apoptosis, inflammation or cancer. Peroxynitrite detection and quantification provides critical information in understanding its biological implications. Attempts to investigate the behavior of peroxynitrite in vivo and in vitro have been hampered by the difficulty in detecting this highly reactive oxygen species. This book presents the current state of the art in this research field with contributions from scientific leaders in the field. The chapters make clear the associated challenges and development for selective and sensitive detection of peroxynitrite. This book is a timely addition to the literature, as the first in the field, dedicated to detecting this molecule in vivo. It will be welcomed by the community particularly medicinal and analytical chemists, developers of sensors and probes and analytical equipment manufacturers.Table of ContentsPeroxynitrite, the basics; Quantifying peroxynitrite: bridging the gap between chemistry, biology and immunology; Methods of peroxynitrite synthesis in the context of the development and validation of peroxynitrite sensors; Peroxynitrite sensitive electrochemically active matrices; Electrochemical detection of peroxynitrite in biological solutions: challenges and perspectives; Real time monitoring of peroxynitrite by stimulation of macrophages with microelectrodes; Electrophoretic methods for separation of peroxynitrite and related compounds; Investigation of peroxynitrite-biomembrane interactions using biomimetic interfaces; Recent approaches to enhance selectivity of peroxynitrite detection; Development of fluorescent probes for the detection of peroxynitrite; Reversible near infrared probes for peroxynitrite monitoring;

Amsterdam University Press The Laboratory Revolution and the Creation of the
Book SynopsisThe modern research university originated in Europe in the second half of the nineteenth century, largely due to the creation and expansion of the teaching and research laboratory. The universities and the sciences underwent a laboratory revolution that fundamentally changed the nature of both. This revolutionary development began in chemistry, where Justus Liebig is credited with systematically employing his students in his ongoing research during the 1830s. Later, this development spread to other fields, including the social sciences and the humanities. The consequences for the universities were colossal. The expansion of the laboratories demanded extensive new building programs, reshaping the outlook of the university. The social structure of the university also diversified because of this laboratory expansion, while what it meant to be a scientist changed dramatically. This volume explores the spatial, social, and cultural dimensions of the rise of the modern research laboratory within universities and their consequent reshaping.Table of ContentsList of Figures and Tables Preface 1.
