The Bucher/Booker Family, 1686-1990
(Johan) Hans Ulrich Bucher married Anna Maria, nee Schellinger on August 17, 1715 in Kleinen Garttach, Wurttemberg, Germany. She died and he married Susanna Barbara Wirth and immigrated to the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, in 1732. Descendants lived in Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, California, and elsewhere.
Leben um jeden Preis?
Ein todkranker Patient liegt auf der Intensivstation; es besteht kaum noch Hoffnung. Wann sollen - oder dürfen - die lebenserhaltenden Massnahmen eingestellt werden? Wer soll dies entscheiden? Gibt es ein Recht auf Leben um jeden Preis? Was haben die Angehörigen zu sagen? Dürfen Aspekte wie die Bettenbelegung eine Rolle spielen? Mit diesen heiklen Fragen werden die Behandlungsteams im intensivmedizinischen und -pflegerischen Alltag konfrontiert. Der technische Fortschritt in der Intensivmedizin und der Neonatologie hat dazu geführt, dass der Grat zwischen Lebensrettung und Leidensverlängerung in den letzten Jahren schmal geworden ist. Strukturierte Entscheidungsfindungsverfahren erlauben in diesen schwierigen Situationen, möglichst faire, auf das individuelle Patientenschicksal ausgerichtete und konsensorientierte Entscheide zu treffen. In diesem Buch beschreiben Fachpersonen aus Medizin und Pflege, Philosophie und Ethik, Recht und Soziologie die hohen ethischen Anforderungen an die Entscheidungsfindung in der Intensivmedizin und zeigen mögliche Lösungen für die genannten Fragen auf.
Stem Cell Transplantation
Organ transplantation has been the most important therapeutic advance in the last third of the 20th century. Its development has revolutionized medicine, as demonstrated by the fact that a large number of researchers in this field have been awarded Nobel Prizes. In the beginning of this century, we are witnessing with great expectations the emergence of a new field of medicine related to the arrival of a new player on the scene: “stem cells” and their potential use in regenerative medicine. This volume aims to cover important aspects of the various facets of organ transplantation and regenerative medicine, with leading specialists in these fields setting out their vision. We try to rigorously explain current and novel scientific research in these fields—areas which arouse great interest from society in general, due to their potential use in modern medicine for the treatment of a great number of diseases.

Physician-Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia
Unlike Nazi medical experiments, euthanasia during the Third Reich is barely studied or taught. Often, even asking whether euthanasia during the Third Reich is relevant to contemporary debates about physician-assisted suicide (PAS) and euthanasia is dismissed as inflammatory. Physician-Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia: Before, During, and After the Holocaust explores the history of euthanasia before and during the Third Reich in depth and demonstrate how Nazi physicians incorporated mainstream Western philosophy, eugenics, population medicine, prevention, and other medical ideas into their ideology. This book reveals that euthanasia was neither forced upon physicians nor wantonly practiced by...
RAMPs
Among the many GPCRs discovered, the calcitonin family of receptors comprise of members that regulate a number of physiological processes and are involved in many pathological conditions. Therefore, understanding how these receptors function is a critical question in the field. When Foord and his colleagues discovered that a single transmembrane protein called Receptor Activity Modifying Proteins (RAMPs) could modulate the surface expression of GPCRs of the calcitonin family, it widely opened the field of receptor life cycle. Hundreds of studies have confirmed the importance of RAMPs in the life cycle of this receptor family. Receptor biology is a rapidly expanding field and with the advances in cell and molecular biology and in vivo techniques, it is very likely that the field of RAMPs will explode further and many unanswered questions will be answered with in the next few years.
New Technologies for Toxicity Testing
The central theme running through this volume on New Technologies for Toxicity Testing is the development and application of advanced techniques for cell and tissue culture, as well as new markers and endpoints of toxicity, as alternatives to the traditional paradigm of relying on data from laboratory animal tests to undertake labelling and risk assessment. Of course, many of the techniques and methods described in this volume are in the early stages of development, and much work will be needed to ensure their further improvement, optimisation and validation. However, we are confident that this will be achieved and that, just as with the in vitro assays that were validated and granted regulatory acceptance over the last decade, these, and many other new, advanced methods, will likewise become part of the toxicologist’s improved toolbox for coping with increasingly stringent and numerous regulatory requirements and test chemicals, while placing less reliance on traditional testing paradigms.
