Brain Development and the Attention Spectrum
Early-onset and enduring developmental deficits in attention, especially if combined with increased hyperactivity, and impulsivity, may result in constant impairments in multiple domains of personal life. The full spectrum of symptoms is characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity, which is maladaptive and inconsistent with a comparable level of developmental age known as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). ADHD is considered one of the most common neurobehavioral disorders and of childhood, and among the most prevalent chronic health conditions. Given the wide heterogeneity and complex manifestations of the disorder, there is an importa...
Focus on Serotonin Uptake Inhibitor Research
The most significant class of antidepressants marketed in recent years is the selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Claims of decreased adverse effects (ADRs) and increased safety have led to extensive use of these drugs by non-psychiatrists. The six SSRIs available in the United States are citalopram (Celexa), escitalopram (Lexapro), fluoxetine (Prozac), fluvoxamine (Luvox), paroxetine (Paxil), and sertraline (Zoloft). The primary uses for the SSRIs include unipolar and bipolar major depression and all of the anxiety disorders. However, controlled trials also support the use of SSRIs in the treatment of other psychiatric disorders including dysthymia, pre-menstrual dysphoria, bulimia nervosa, obesity, borderline personality disorder, alcoholism, rheumatic pain, and migraine headache. This new book presents leading-edge research from throughout the world on this topic.
Hot Topics in Neonatal Neurology
This book is a collection of some major topics in neonatal neurology, delivering up-to-date data. The book covers several sections in a wide variety of aspects and interests. The topics include: VLBW infants and developmental follow up, kernicterus -- why is it persistent and can we make it go away, drugs and cerebral blood flow in the neonatal brain, neonatal EEG, neurological sequelae following mechanical ventilation, amplitude integrated EEG (aEEG), surgical treatment of post haemorrhagic hydrocephalus in the neonate, perinatal head trauma and neuro-trauma, and ethical approach to neonatal neurological issues.
The Arab-Israeli Cookbook
Simple recipes offering the best of Middle Eastern food and more. Gathered in Israel and Palestine from ordinary people going about their everyday lives, the author found that each person had a story to tell and a recipe to cook.
A Chink in the Wall
Originally presented as the author's thesis (doctoral)--Ohio State University, 1991.
The Society of Genes
Nearly four decades ago Richard Dawkins published The Selfish Gene, famously reducing humans to “survival machines” whose sole purpose was to preserve “the selfish molecules known as genes.” How these selfish genes work together to construct the organism, however, remained a mystery. Standing atop a wealth of new research, The Society of Genes now provides a vision of how genes cooperate and compete in the struggle for life. Pioneers in the nascent field of systems biology, Itai Yanai and Martin Lercher present a compelling new framework to understand how the human genome evolved and why understanding the interactions among our genes shifts the basic paradigm of modern biology. Contr...
ADHD
Even experienced professionals might minimise the prevalence of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) among certain groups of patients. Decreased attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity are sensitive but non-specific behavioural patterns, frequently reported in a wide range of children and adults with different disorders. Therefore, the existence of ADHD might become "transparent" for both the patients and the professionals. Such transparency might lead to a non-accurate diagnosis, harm the treatment aspects and have potential non beneficial prognostic aspects. Among children and adults with mental retardation, autistic spectrum disorders, and drug abuse, as well as among gifted ...
Critical Care Nutrition Therapy for Non-nutritionists
This book offers a pragmatic approach to day-to-day metabolic and nutritional care based on physiological considerations. Due to the numerous controversial trials published in the last 15 years, there is no clear guidance for intensive care physicians regarding the metabolic and nutritional management of patients. This has resulted in a return to underfeeding and related complications in most ICUs worldwide as shown by the latest Nutrition Day data. Using a structured, logical approach, the book examines practical solutions for artificial feeding in complex areas of critical care (brain injuries, burns, cardiac failure, ECMO, intestinal failure, long term patient, renal failure, metabolic diseases, obesity, old patients) and discusses measurement of the results of metabolic interventions. It also includes dedicated chapters focusing on specific problems, in order to avoid complications. Critical Care Nutrition Therapy for Non-nutritionists is a valuable resource for all general ICUs and ICU subspecialties such as cardiovascular, neuro, gastrointestinal and burns ICUs.
Israeli Film
Provides a comprehensive survey of Israeli films and filmmakers, establishing itself as the only book of its kind in English.
The DARPA Urban Challenge
By the dawn of the new millennium, robotics has undergone a major transformation in scope and dimensions. This expansion has been brought about by the maturity of the field and the advances in its related technologies. From a largely dominant industrial focus, robotics has been rapidly expanding into the challenges of the human world. The new generation of robots is expected to safely and dependably co-habitat with humans in homes, workplaces, and communities, providing support in services, entertainment, education, healthcare, manufacturing, and assistance. Beyond its impact on physical robots, the body of knowledge robotics has produced is revealing a much wider range of applications reach...
