Clinical Diabetes Research: Methods and Techniques (Repost)

Clinical Diabetes Research: Methods and Techniques
Publisher: Wiley-Interscience | ISBN : 0470017287 | September 17, 2007 | 422 pages | PDF | 8.2MB

“

A practical "how to" guide for multiple methods in metabolism, with a critical and objective discussion of strengths, limitations, and appropriate applications of the described methods. Edited by the winner of the Oskar-Minkowski Prize of the EASD in 2006 Clinical trials in populations at risk of or with overt diabetes mellitus are being performed all around the world to test novel drugs and approaches to managing these diseases. During the last decade, new methods and techniques have been introduced – and are being developed further – that facilitate monitoring of metabolism and even diagnosis of certain defects in human metabolism. While some of these methods are restricted to research facilities, others are already used in clinical practice. The correct beneficial use of these methods requires knowledge of the nature of the techniques and their clinical relevance. Clinical Diabetes Research: Methods and Techniques provides summaries of established state-of-the art-techniques and introduces the new technologies, evaluating their potential in clinical diabetes research. One section compares the efficacy of all metabolic tests that measure insulin action. Another section describes methods that allow quantification of whole body and intracellular metabolic fluxes relevant to diabetes research. The final section focuses on the planning and pitfalls of clinical studies in the field of metabolism. Each chapter throughout the book combines the theoretical basis of the approach with practical recommendations. There are further chapters on the design of clinical trials and ethical considerations. The publication is timely in view of the impressive development of the methods and techniques with their application to understanding the pathophysiology of diabetes, insulin resistance syndromes, obesity, and the metabolic effects of treatment. Clinical Diabetes Research: Methods and Techniques is of great relevance for researchers (from students and post-docs to principal investigators) in the field of human metabolism, clinical endocrinologists and diabetologists who are involved in clinical studies.

History of Psychiatry and Medical Psychology: With an Epilogue on Psychiatry and the Mind-Body Relation

Edwin R. Wallace, John Gach, "History of Psychiatry and Medical Psychology: With an Epilogue on Psychiatry and the Mind-Body Relation"
Springer | 2008 | ISBN: 0387347070 | 862 pages | PDF | 4,1 MB

The Romans knew that Nero was insane. Shakespeare’s Macbeth asked his doctor to treat "a mind diseased." The physicians of the Enlightenment era pondered whether the inmates in the asylums were mad or simply bad.



As a discipline, psychiatry has always walked a fine if not easily defined line between social and biological science. History of Psychiatry and Medical Psychology traces this evolution in its social, political, and philosophical contexts, charting the rise of psychology as a legitimate field of scientific pursuit, and of psychiatry as a medical specialty. An interdisciplinary team of noted historians (including Sander Gilman, Dora Weiner, Hannah Decker, and the recently deceased dean of American psychiatric history, George Mora, M.D.) has distilled centuries of history—protracted debates, false starts, and missteps included—resulting in an engaging and inspiring narrative of history and methodology in the making.



-The birth of brain science in antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance

-The roots of modern psychiatry in the French Revolution

-Changing concepts of schizophrenia and depression

-The influence of neurology on psychiatry

-Evolutions in treatment: mental institutions, hypnotherapy, pharmacotherapy

-The emergence of psychoanalysis and "national psychologies" in Europe and America

-Modern critiques, including the chapter "Psychiatry’s Sickness and Its Biological Cure".



Its wide scope, divergent viewpoints, and insistence on viewing historical periods through their own lenses and not our own makes this History a must-have reference for scholars of psychiatry, psychology, and medicine.

The Philosophical Actor: A Practical Meditation for Practicing Theatre Artists

The Philosophical Actor: A Practical Meditation for Practicing Theatre Artists By Donna Soto-Morettini
Intellect Ltd | 2010-08-01 | ISBN-10: 1841503266,1841503908 | 224 pages | PDF | 1.2 MB

There have been many books published on acting, actor training, and practical theories for preparing for a role, but none of these books have ever looked philosophically at the language and the concepts that we use when we talk about acting. The Philosophical Actor is the first attempt to grapple with the fundamental questions of truth, art, and human nature unexamined in past treatments, from the first great essay by Diderot to the exhaustive system described by Stanislavski. With wide appeal to actors, directors, acting students, acting teachers and trainers, Donna Soto-Morettini draws from twenty-five years of experience as an acting teacher and director to introduce innovative ways of thinking about acting.

Molecular Hematology, 3 Ed

Drew Provan, John Gribben, "Molecular Hematology, 3 Ed"
Wiley-Blackwell | 2010 | ISBN: 1405182318 | 428 pages | PDF | 7,8 MB

Now in its third edition, Molecular Hematology has been thoroughly updated to incorporate recent advances in molecular research. The aim of the book remains the same – to provide a core knowledge base for those with little exposure to molecular biological techniques.



Molecular biology has had a significant impact on the understanding of blood diseases and this book shows how molecular techniques can be used in diagnosis and treatment. In each chapter the authors summarize the impact made by molecular research on the understanding of the pathogenesis of the disorder featured, and highlight the molecular strategies that exist, or are being currently investigated, for therapeutic purposes. There are six brand new chapters in this edition:



•History and development of molecular biology

•Pharmacogenomics

•Anemia of chronic disease

•Molecular pathogenesis of malaria

•Molecular basis of transplantation

•Cancer stem cells

Presented in an extremely readable style with clear two-color line diagrams, this book is designed for the non-specialist and will be an invaluable resource for all trainee hematologists.
