Fundamentals of Evidence-Based Health Care and Translational Science
Comparative effectiveness research – the conduct and synthesis of systematic research in order to compare the benefits and harms of alternative treatment options – is of critical importance in enabling informed health care decisions to be made. This user-friendly, practical handbook examines in depth how best to perform such comparative effectiveness research. A wide range of topics and methods are discussed, including research synthesis, sampling analysis, assessment of evidence design, systematic evaluation of statistical analysis, and meta-analysis. The discussion extends well beyond the fundamentals by encompassing “complex” systematic reviews, “cumulative” meta-analyses, and logic-based versus utility-based decision making. Health care providers, researchers, instructors, and students will all find this to be an invaluable reference on the compelling current issues and important analytical tools in comparative effectiveness research.
Comparative Effectiveness and Efficacy Research and Analysis for Practice (CEERAP)
Recent trends in health care across the United States and internationally have emphasized a novel approach that consists in comparing the effectiveness and efficacy of treatment interventions with a patient-centered emphasis (i.e., evidence-based health care), while ensuring cost constraints, maximizing benefits, and minimizing risks. In this book, experts in comparative effectiveness and efficacy research and analysis for practice (CEERAP) in health care in general address a range of topical issues. The emphasis is on implications for endodontics and nursing, both of which are considered in a series of detailed chapters. Commonalities and differences among CEERAP, utility-based and logic-based analysis and decision-making, and evidence-based and patient-centered practice are defined and discussed. The book concludes by examining applications for CEERAP in developing patient-centered optimal treatment interventions for the next decade.
The Seraphic Doctor
The Seraphic Doctor: St. Bonaventure by Francesco Chiappelli explores the life, ecclesiastical service, and teachings of St. Bonaventure, "Seraphic Father" of the Church (1221 - 1274 AD). About the Author A secular Franciscan within the Roman Catholic Church, much of Francesco Chiappelli's works reflect Franciscan spirituality. He is also a scientist and emeritus professor at UCLA, having worked in the Center for Health Sciences and published over 200 peer- reviewed scientific papers, in addition to chapters and books on topics as wide-ranging as biostatistics to molecular virology. He is also a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, one of the few overseas Fellow...
Sustainable Evidence-based Decision-making
In the situation that finds us, the road most travelled is that which we all know best, and which makes us most comfortable. It often is the pathway that brings us to excessive waste, unrecyclable materials and fuels, and arrogant impositions and demands upon communities and surroundings: all in the name of our commodity. We have come to use the word "globalisation" to mean in the minds of many imposing of "my way", because "you are still ignorant of the best way (which is my way, of course)": hence, it is my responsibility, duty and intent "to educate you" to my way. Certainly, this is a rash generalisation, which we will need to address and rectify in the course of this monograph. It nevertheless shines the light unto why, in many instances, the road most travelled is one of unsustainable behaviours, decisions, and actions in the short and long term. By contrast, the road less travelled, actually the road most often not taken , is that which seeks valid, viable and sustainable solutions for the betterment of the individual, local communities, societies, cultures, regions.
Pope Alexander's Last Travel 1410
During the Western Schism of the Roman Christian Church, the majority of cardinals assembled in conclave at the Council of Pisa (1409), and elected Pope Alexander V. Pope Alexander was forced to reside in Pistoia for the second half of 1409, and traveled to Bologna across the mountains in early 1410, in order to reach Rome by late Spring 1410. Pope Alexander died on May 3rd, 1410. This is the story of Pope Alexander's last travel to Bologna in Spring 1410.

Manual of Evidence-based Research for the Health Sciences
Ever since the terminology, concepts and tools of Evidence-Based (EB) were introduced, doctors have been trying to apply them to improve the care they provide to patients. Anyone who has heard the term 'EB' knows that on the surface, it sounds like a logical good idea. But grasping the essence and technicalities of many of EB's attributes is not that easy for the vast majority of clinical practitioners for whom a lot of the ideas of EB are directed. Dr Chiappelli's first hand experience teaching EB to dental students, residents and practitioners clearly pointed out to him the need for a central source of information, explanations and tutorials. The feedback from the 'stakeholders' of EB inspired this gifted teacher to put together the Manual of Evidence-Based Research for the Health Sciences as a complete resource. This comprehensive manual will be an essential text for students, scientists, clinicians, policy makers and industry product developers enabling them to have access to all of the parts and complexities associated with evaluating and applying information using the tools and concepts that have become associated with EB.
Evidence-Based Practice: Toward Optimizing Clinical Outcomes
Health care is witnessing an explosion of fundamental, clinical and translational research evidence. The emerging paradigm of evidence-based health care rests on the judicious integration of the patient needs/wants, the provider's expertise, and the best available research evidence in the treatment plan. The purpose of this book is to discuss the promise and the limitations of incorporating the best available evidence in clinical practice. It seeks to characterize and define how best available research evidence can be used in clinical practice and to what respect it applies to current public health issues.
Comparative Effectiveness and Efficacy Research and Analysis for Practice (CEERAP)
In this book, experts in comparative effectiveness and efficacy research and analysis for practice (CEERAP) in health care, and specifically in dentistry, address a range of issues. The implications for endodontics and nursing are set out in distinct chapters.
Advances in Psychobiology
Broadly defined psychobiology is a wide field of scientific endeavor, which bridges the artificial divide imposed by the Cartesian philosophy of things of the mind and things of the body. Starting in the early decades of the 20th century, mind-body research developed new avenues of understanding in Western science. It became increasingly clear that processes attributed to the psyche, including emotions, cognitions, memories, and personalities, had important effects upon physiological events, could disrupt homeostasis, determined and controlled allostasis, and arose, in fact, from biological phenomena driven by cell biology, biochemistry, genomics and, in a larger sense, interactomics.
