Lumbar Spine Syndromes
The question facing anyone contemplating a book on low back pain is : Why write another book? It is certainly true that there are many books on this topic addressing a wide variety of audiences. Some books are all inclusive and scholarly in nature, others are personal descriptions of diagnostic and treat ment philosophies. This book is a combination of these two extremes. It represents our views on the low back problem, supported by scientific data. Most aspects on back pain presented in this book can be found in other texts. The organization of the material is unique, however. Our approach is to start by listening to and looking at the patient. It becomes apparent, then, that patients can b...
Image-Guided Spine Interventions
The field of interventional radiology is constantly undergoing change, and its procedures evolve over time. There is currently tremendous pressure on our specialty, as cardiology and vascular surgery app- priate existing vascular interventions. We need to be looking constantly for new procedures that will replace this loss. In the 1980s, the int- duction of vascular access provided new procedures that included the placement of temporary venous catheters, ports, tunneled catheters, and dialysis maintenance. As a result of vascular access the number of procedures performed in some interventional labs doubled. The same revolution is occurring again with the advent of image-guided spine interven...

Global Applications of Culturally Competent Health Care: Guidelines for Practice
This book is unique in its global approach to applying the Guidelines for Culturally Competent Nursing Practice that were recently endorsed by the International Council of Nurses (ICN) and distributed to all of its 130 national nursing associations. The purpose of this book is to illustrate how these guidelines can be put into clinical practice and to show how practitioners from different countries with diverse populations can implement them. The first chapter provides the conceptual basis for Culturally Competent Health Care and describes how the guidelines were developed. Each of the next 10 sections presents a chapter describing a specific guideline followed by three or four chapters with detailed case studies to illustrate how the guideline was implemented in a particular cultural setting. All case studies follow a similar format and are written by international authors with clinical expertise and work experience in the culture being presented. This book will be useful for advanced practice nurses, healthcare students, clinicians, administrators, educators, researchers, and those who provide community health or population-based care.
Myelination and Demyelination
A satellite symposium entitled "Myelination and Demyelination: Recent Chemical Advances" was held in Helsinki from August 29 to 31, 1977, after the Sixth International Meeting of the International Society for Neurochemistry (ISN) in Copenhagen. Myelin is a nervous tissue structure that is most suitable as a subject of biochemical investigation. It is easy to isolate in a highly purified form, is rather stable even after death, and is af fected by a variety of neurological and other diseases. Its lesions are particularly important in the study of multiple sclerosis, a disease which is relatively prevalent in Finland and has therefore been of interest to a great many Finnish scientists. The fi...
Best Egg Recipes
In this cookbook, award-winning chef/author Omur Akkor presents a wide variety of nearly forgotten traditional Turkish egg recipes which he unearthed by combing through old Turkish cookbooks and travelling all over the country as well as delicious modern recipes based on eggs.

In addition, Akkor provides a fascinating glimpse into the history, culture, and traditions of Turkish cuisine.
Creating Capabilities
If a country’s Gross Domestic Product increases each year, but so does the percentage of its people deprived of basic education, health care, and other opportunities, is that country really making progress? If we rely on conventional economic indicators, can we ever grasp how the world’s billions of individuals are really managing? In this powerful critique, Martha Nussbaum argues that our dominant theories of development have given us policies that ignore our most basic human needs for dignity and self-respect. For the past twenty-five years, Nussbaum has been working on an alternate model to assess human development: the Capabilities Approach. She and her colleagues begin with the simp...

Wetlands
This volume resulted from the workshop entitled "Nutrient Cycling and Retention in Natural and Constructed Wetlands IV" which was held at Trebon, Czech Republic, on September 26 to 29, 2001. This time we selected the title "Wetlands -- Nutrients, Metals and Mass Cycling" in order to avoid confusion with the previous proceedings which resulted from the workshop of the same title (Nutrient Cycling and Retention in Natural and Constructed Wetlands", Backhuys Publishers, 1999 and "Trans-for-mations of Nutrients in Natural and Constructed Wetlands", Backhuys Publishers, 2001). Another factor which influenced the title of this book is the fact that despite keeping the workshop title, other topics ...
