The Cancer Patient and Supportive Care
During the course of editing 'Supportive Care in Cancer Therapy' (Martin us Nijhoff Publishers, 1983), it become apparent that several topics would have to await a second volume. Furthermore, development of new informa tion and evolution of ideas continues. This volume continues the intent of the first to present reviews of issues relating to supportive care, and to identify areas where further definition and further research is needed. The physician reading this volume will find the contents though-provok ing. In addition to reviews authored by physicians, there are chapters authored by non-physicians, who present a different perspective and a dif ferent style of writing. Reverend Bigler wr...
Mental States
Collecting the work of linguists, psychologists, neuroscientists, archaeologists, artificial intelligence researchers and philosophers this volume presents a richly varied picture of the nature and function of mental states. Starting from questions about the cognitive capacities of the early hominin homo floresiensis, the essays proceed to the role mental representations play in guiding the behaviour of simple organisms and robots, thence to the question of which features of its environment the human brain represents and the extent to which complex cognitive skills such as language acquisition and comprehension are impaired when the brain lacks certain important neural structures. Other papers explore topics ranging from nativism to the presumed constancy of categorization across signed and spoken languages, from the formal representation of metaphor, actions and vague language to philosophical questions about conceptual schemes and colours. Anyone interested in mental states will find much to reward them in this fine volume.
Adolescent Nutrition
A comprehensive reference that focuses on the nutritional requirements that are unique to adolescent development (12-21 years), clinically useful assessment strategies, and management strategies to enhance the nutritional status of adolescents. Sections cover general issues and developmental factors, such as exercise and contraception; competitive athletics; diets; psychosocial concerns, including body image and behavior change; chronic illness, including HIV and AIDS; and nutritional assessment and management strategies for surgical procedures, including organ transplants and plastic surgery. A case illustration in every chapter summarizes clinical considerations. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Cancer in Adolescents and Young Adults
This is the first comprehensive book devoted exclusively to cancer in adolescents and young adults. It compiles medical, epidemiological, biological, psychological, and emotional issues of young adults’ oncology. The emphasis is on the differences of the "same" cancer in younger and older patients. Model programs specially designed to care for patients in the age group and surveillance of long-term adverse effects are reviewed.
Supportive Care in Cancer Therapy
Where do you begin to look for a recent, authoritative article on the diagnosis or management of a particular malignancy? The few general onco logy textbooks are generally out of date. Single papers in specialized journals are informative but seldom comprehensive; these are more often prelimi nary reports on a very limited number of patients. Certain general journals frequently publish good indepth reviews of cancer topics, and published symposium lectures are often the best overviews available. Unfortunately, these reviews and supplements appear sporadically, and the reader can never be sure when a topic of special interest will be covered. Cancer Treatment and Research is a series of autho...

The Genus Aspergillus
This book highlights recent advances in the pathogenicity, mycotoxin-producing ability, and industrial application of members belonging to the genus Aspergillus. It is divided into two sections and six chapters that address different aspects and the importance of Aspergilli in relation to Aspergillus–human interactions, immunopathogenesis of invasive aspergillosis, the role of aflatoxin in Aspergillus flavus resilience to stress, mycovirus-containing A. flavus and carcinogenesis beyond mycotoxin production, and industrial application of Aspergillus species in conjunction to nanoparticle synthesis. This book brings readers several cutting-edge aspects of Aspergillus research with useful information for mycologists, microbiologists, toxicologists, plant pathologists, and pharmacologists, who may be interested in understanding the impact, significance, and recent advances within the genus Aspergillus that have not been critically noticed elsewhere.
Neuroblastoma
The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive review of current knowledge and to give a thoughtful assessment of the many complex issues involved in the diagnosis and treatment of this common malignant solid tumor found in children. This up-to-date publication also reviews new concepts in histogenesis and histopathology of neuroblastoma. Divided into three main sections, this work focuses on tumor biology, clinical management, and prognosis and future perspectives. This fascinating work includes in-depth discussions on neuroblastoma in infancy and the manifestations of this tumor as it affects various organs and various parts of the body. It also provides guidelines for treatment with surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. This ideal resource is loaded with information for all those who care for children with cancer, including pediatric oncologists, medical oncologists, pathologists, radiotherapists, pediatric nurse oncologists and pediatricians.
