Carcinoma of the Prostate
The American Cancer Society anticipates that during 1995, 244000 new cases of cancer of the prostate will have been diagnosed in the United States, with 40400 deaths from the disease process. The rapid increase in the actual number of new cases in the United States is directly related to more regularized digital rectal examinations and the more frequent and widespread use of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening programs. As a conse quence, major controversies have emerged in how best to manage the patient with cancer of the prostate. These include the necessity of PSA screening programs, how to interpret PSA values, what imaging studies are most appropriate for definition of the true ex...

Computational Modeling of Biological Systems
Computational modeling is emerging as a powerful new approach to study and manipulate biological systems. Multiple methods have been developed to model, visualize, and rationally alter systems at various length scales, starting from molecular modeling and design at atomic resolution to cellular pathways modeling and analysis. Higher time and length scale processes, such as molecular evolution, have also greatly benefited from new breeds of computational approaches. This book provides an overview of the established computational methods used for modeling biologically and medically relevant systems.
Food and Addiction
The food environment has changed dramatically and is now dominated by foods with unnaturally high levels of sugar, fat, and salt that are intensely rewarding. Scientific evidence has increased rapidly in the last few decades that these types of foods are capable of triggering addictive processes, which may be a key driver in the rising rates of obesity and diet-related disease around the globe. Food and Addiction: A Comprehensive Handbook, Second Edition provides a multidisciplinary review of the most cutting-edge science on the contribution of addictive processes to how we consume food. Top experts in the field of nutrition, addiction, psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience, epidemiology, public health, marketing, and policy come together to provide a scoping view of this rapidly evolving scientific area that has important implications for the well-being and health of adults and children around the globe.
Jesus in a Wheelchair
“Jesus in a Wheelchair” is a compassionate look at the lives of residents and essential workers at nursing home facilities. Chaplain Steve captures the heart of the matter “that each of us is significant regardless of age, race or physical/mental ability.” Recognizing a need to show brotherly love to his fellowman, Chaplain Steve captures the needs of seniors with simple yet profound stories, poems and songs allowing the reader access into their hearts, revealing the frailties common to an aging population. Read this book and be transformed to see yourself through a new lens, where the plight of the elderly, a mountain each of us hope to climb, will change your mindset forever about senior citizens and the essential workers that assist in their journey.
Lipid Signaling in Plants
This comprehensive update on plant lipid signaling covers the measurement, regulation and function of phospholipases, lipid kinases, lipid phosphatases, inositolpolphosphates, polyphosphoinositides, phosphatic acid, and other lipid signals such as oxylipins.

Biophysics And Biochemistry Of Protein Aggregation: Experimental And Theoretical Studies On Folding, Misfolding, And Self-assembly Of Amyloidogenic Peptides
This book reviews current research on the important processes involved in neurodegenerative diseases (e.g. Alzheimer's disease) and the peptides and proteins involved in the amyloidogenic processes. It covers the design and developments of anti-amyloid inhibitors, and gives readers a fundamental understanding of the underlying oligomerization and aggregation processes of these diseases from both computational and experimental points of view.
Education Research in the Public Interest
Acclaimed African American scholar and teacher educator Gloria Ladson-Billings examines the field of teacher education through the accomplishments and contributions of well-known African American teacher educators—Lisa Delpit, Carl Grant, Jacqueline Jordan Irvine, Geneva Gay, Cherry McGee Banks, William Tate, and Joyce King. Using in-depth interviews and storytelling, Ladson-Billings depicts deeply personal portraits of these scholars’ experiences to confront race and racism, not only theoretically, but within their everyday professional lives in “the Big House” of the academy. Ladson-Billings gives these portraits even greater resonance and meaning by pairing these teacher educators...
Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of senile dementia, affecting more than 24 million people worldwide. It is characterised pathologically by abnormally high levels of brain lesions in dead and dying neurons, and by elevated numbers of amyloid deposits in the walls of cerebral blood vessels. This book provides a panoramic view across recent in vitro and in vivo studies along with state-of-the-art computer simulations, designed to increase the readers' understanding of oligomerisation and fibril formation.
