This book is about five women who are first ladies of their church. Their husbands are pastors of megachurches in the United States. All five women are friends in the ministry. They come together for a retreat, just the five of them. But they have to make some major decisions that will affect the lives of their husbands and their churches. But it will also make you see that they are normal people with everyday problems. This book is based on the real sisterhood of five real first ladies, but the names of the characters and their story are fictional.
Inflammatory disorders of the nervous system, although individually uncommon, collectively make up 10-20% of acute paediatric neurology presentations and many are potentially treatable. Research into them is lagging behind adult research, but better diagnosis and often simple treatments could lead to substantial clinical benefit and reduction in long-term disability. This book provides a detailed and comprehensive summary of the childhood diseases that are, or are likely to be, caused by the immune system. The authors not only describe these disorders and their treatments comprehensively, helping pediatricians and pediatric neurologists to improve their understanding and recognition of the conditions, but also highlight recent and exciting developments that will be of considerable importance in the future.
Neurobiology of Disease is aimed at any basic scientist or clinician scientist teaching a course or conducting research on the basic science underlying the major neurological diseases. It provides an excellent overview of cutting-edge research on the fundamental disorders of the nervous system, including physiological and molecular aspects of dysfunction. The major categories of neurological disease are covered, and the chapters provide specific information about particular diseases exemplifying each of these categories. Sufficient clinical information is included to put into perspective the basic mechanisms discussed. The book assembles a world-class team of section editors and chapters written by acknowledged experts in their respective fields. - Provides cutting edge information about fundamental mechanisms underlying neurological diseases - Amply supplied with tables, illustrations and references - Includes supporting clinical information putting the mechanisms of disease into perspective
Aims to provide an account of the structure and development of the neuromuscular junction, the biochemical and physiological events associated with neuromuscular transmission, the use of toxins as probes and the molecular structure of ion channels and other proteins involved.
How beleaguered citizens created their own salvation when their institutions failed
This work focuses on the autoimmune processes that have now been proven to underlie a number of serious diseases, including diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. Papers explore the rapidly expanding developments in research on immune response and regulation, and their potential in the development of treatments for autoimmune diseases. The wide range of subjects covered here include: the nature of intracellular and cell surface-derived ``self'' antigens; competing theories of the generation of immune tolerance and their implications of current theories for research and treatment; possible links between autoimmunity and genetic complement deficiency; the contributions of interferons and class II HLA antigen expression to autoimmunity; and the potential of monoclonal antibodies and other biotechnological advances in treating human autoimmune conditions.
"India and International Law, volume 2" examines India s policy and practical approach to modern and emerging subjects such as energy, investment, sports, banking, biotechnology, taxation, water courses, feminism, air law and role of India in UN reforms. The most discussed interlinked issues of civilian nuclear energy and nuclear weapons are analysed in two separate chapters. This volume also examines legal challenges and offers possible solutions in the area of private international law, which hopefully would serve the purposes of relevant policy-makers, judiciary, common men and women and 2.5 million Non-Resident Indians (NRIs)."India and International Law, volume 2" will enable the readers to realize the sheer magnitude of legal challenges faced by India, hence, one way forward is to consider some of the suggestions offered by the authors. It is hoped that these two volumes will provide a useful framework for similar studies and will remain a must source of consultation for those who are interested in India s state practice on international law.
You love a good mystery. The first one is: which book do you start with? FORTUNE (Mia) Mia’s daughter is missing, stolen from her own front yard. Though Fortune is having a grand adventure, Mia is watching her whole life fall apart. When Fortune disappears, the police converge on their home. They are supposed to be helping, but they are holding her back from finding her daughter. When the FBI shows up, it seems there are even more secrets she didn’t know. Her husband has been cheating on her in more ways than one. And Fortune’s doctor has far more information about Mia’s daughter than she should. More than maybe is legal. Will there be a home for Fortune to come back to? FORTUNE (Raf...
The XIIIth International and the VIIth European Congress of Clinical Chemistry took place at the Netherlands Congress Centre in The Hague, from June 28th to July 3rd 1987. The Organizing Committee and the Scientific Committee for these combined congresses aimed to present the state-of-the-science as well as the state-of-the-art for those fields of clinical chemistry which show a strong progress and which will most probably inflict a great part of all clinical chemists. "Clinical Chemistry, an Overview" comprises almost all papers which were presented during the congress in 5 plenary lectures and 97 lectures during 24· symposia. The invited speakers, being experts in their fields of clinical...
