Global health-related efforts today are usually shaped by two very different ideological approaches. They either reflect a human rights-based approach to health and equity, or they express religious or humanitarian 'aid'. Susan Holman challenges this stereotypical polarisation through stories designed to help shape a new lens on global health, one that envisions a multi-disciplinary integration of respect for religion and culture with an equal respect for and engagement with human rights and social justice.
This book provides a comprehensive view of research in lens developmental biology, emphasising technical and molecular breakthroughs. Elucidation of the mechanisms that govern lens development has enabled us to understand how the normal lens forms and how developmental processes are involved in the maintenance of its normal structure, function and growth throughout life. This knowledge is fundamental to our understanding of many lens disorders. The ocular lens has also become a model for understanding the developmental biology of more complex organ systems. In this 2004 book, leading experts in lens cell biology and development discuss lens evolution, induction, morphology, the regulation of the lens cell cycle and fiber cell differentiation, as well as lens regeneration. This book is an authoritative treatment of the subject that will serve as a reference for graduate students and research scientists in developmental biology and in the visual sciences, as well as for ophthalmologists.
J.H.J. Upham, M.D. was an important figure in medical practice and education in Ohio during an era in history that saw dramatic transitions in medical education. His professional career in Ohio extended from the late nineteenth century to mid-twentieth century. This was the mid-point between the very origins of health care and medical education in the mid-1800s and our established twenty-first century medical and health care environment. In their book, Wooley and Van Brimmer explore and highlight Uphams many contributions to medical practice, academic medicine, medical organizations, and health care in Ohio.
