Medicine Meets Virtual Reality 17
The 17th annual Medicine Meets Virtual Reality (MMVR17) was held January 19-22, 2009, in Long Beach, CA, USA. The conference is well established as a forum for emerging data-centered technologies for medical care and education. This proceedings volume is of interest to physicians, surgeons and other medical professionals.
Cannabis and Childhood Development
This book highlights empirical evidence on the impact of cannabis on childhood development, from infancy up to young adulthood. With the global movement of more relaxed policies and attitudes towards cannabis use, it is important to understand the risks associated with cannabis on youth development. Bridging the gap between knowledge communications and research literature, this volume translates scientific evidence to highlight the consequences of cannabis exposure on young people’s lives. Based on academic research literature, it summarizes and critically analyses a large body of scientific evidence to evaluate developmental outcomes from birth to young adulthood on physical, social, and mental health. It will appeal to students and academics, as well as policy makers, psychologists, medical professionals, and epidemiologists in the broader academic community with an interest in the topic.
Resilience in Ecology and Health
This edited book is a collection of essays addressing emerging concerns and pivotal problems about our planet’s environment and ecology. The contributions gathered here highlight the inter-relation of topics and expertise, connecting resilience with ecology, health, biotechnology and generational challenges. The book concludes with an ethical analysis of the multiple and over-lapping challenges that require urgent attention and long-term resolution. The book is written for scholars and students in a variety of disciplines and fields that deal with sustainability.
Cut It Out
Of comparative developed countries, only Brazil and Italy have higher c-section rates; c-sections occur in only 19 percent of births in France, seventeen percent of births in Japan, and sixteen percent of births in Finland. How did this happen? Here the author challenges most existing explanations of the unprecedented rise in c-section rates, which locate the cause of this trend in physicians practicing defensive medicine, women choosing c-sections for scheduling reasons, or women's poor health and older ages. The explanation of the c-section epidemic is more complicated, taking into account the power and structure of legal, political, medical, and professional organizations; gendered ideas that devalue women; hospital organizational structures and protocols; and professional standards in the medical and insurance communities.
Early Pregnancy
Updated in light of recent research findings on fertilization, implantation and early pregnancy, this new edition combines the expertise of a wide range of internationally renowned authors to produce an authoritative, multidisciplinary approach to the management of first-trimester complications. Several international guidelines and consensus statements have been released since publication of the first edition and this has stimulated new focussed research questions that are addressed. The book's key recommendations provide clinicians with the tools to improve the patient's experience of the management of first-trimester complications. By combining essential elements of scientific research and clinical care, Early Pregnancy continues to set a benchmark for evidence-based management and will be essential reading for obstetricians, gynaecologists, neonatologists, ultrasonographers, and nurses seeking an understanding of the reproductive science of early pregnancy.
