Advances in Surgical management of abdominal and retroperitoneal sarcoma: Where do we stand, and where do we go?
Abdominal and retroperitoneal sarcomas are rare tumors originating from connective tissues in the body like muscle, fat, fibrous tissue, and blood vessels. Surgery is the primary treatment option for these tumors, and complete surgical resection is the only potential cure. Typically, these tumors can be large at detection, and the management of abdominal and retroperitoneal tumors can be difficult. In addition to surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and new target therapies are the applied treatment modalities. The surgical management of abdominal and retroperitoneal sarcoma is evolving. In this special issue we want to highlight advances in the surgical management of abdominal and retroperitoneal sarcomas, including new surgical technology, minimal invasive surgery, and personalized surgery. Furthermore, we would like to address controversies in the surgical management of abdominal and retroperitoneal surgery, including, aggressive surgical approaches, compartment resection, resection of disseminated tumors, resection of recurrent disease, and the value of (neo)adjuvant chemo- and radiation therapy.
Ecosystem Collapse and Recovery
Examines how ecosystems can collapse as a result of human activity, and the ecological processes underlying their subsequent recovery.
Gene Drives on the Horizon
Research on gene drive systems is rapidly advancing. Many proposed applications of gene drive research aim to solve environmental and public health challenges, including the reduction of poverty and the burden of vector-borne diseases, such as malaria and dengue, which disproportionately impact low and middle income countries. However, due to their intrinsic qualities of rapid spread and irreversibility, gene drive systems raise many questions with respect to their safety relative to public and environmental health. Because gene drive systems are designed to alter the environments we share in ways that will be hard to anticipate and impossible to completely roll back, questions about the eth...
Bears of the World
Bears have fascinated people since ancient times. The relationship between bears and humans dates back thousands of years, during which time we have also competed with bears for shelter and food. In modern times, bears have come under pressure through encroachment on their habitats, climate change, and illegal trade in their body parts, including the Asian bile bear market. The IUCN lists six bears as vulnerable or endangered, and even the least concern species, such as the brown bear, are at risk of extirpation in certain countries. The poaching and international trade of these most threatened populations are prohibited, but still ongoing. Covering all bears species worldwide, this beautifully illustrated volume brings together the contributions of 200 international bear experts on the ecology, conservation status, and management of the Ursidae family. It reveals the fascinating long history of interactions between humans and bears and the threats affecting these charismatic species.
Membrane Trafficking
As membrane trafficking research has expanded over the past thirty years, a remarkable convergence of information has been gained by using genetic approaches in yeast cells with biochemical approaches in mammalian cells. This book reflects these advances by devoting one section of the book to yeast cells and the other to mammalian cells, with each section providing both classic and cutting-edge techniques to study macromolecular transport across the membranes.
Insects as Food and Feed
Also available as E-book see insects-as-food-feed-from-production-to-consumption For more information about the e-book, please contact Sales. Insects have a high potential of becoming a new sector in the food and feed industry, mainly because of the many environmental benefits when compared to meat production. This will be outlined in the book, as well as the whole process from rearing to marketing. Detailed photograph are shown at the start of each section and chapter."

Air Pollution Modeling and its Application XXII
Recent developments in air pollution modeling and its application are explored here in contributions by researchers at the forefront of their field. The book is focused on local, urban, regional and intercontinental modeling; data assimilation and air quality forecasting; model assessment and evaluation; aerosol transformation; the relationship between air quality and human health and the interaction between climate change and air quality. The work will provide useful reference material for students and professors interested in air pollution modeling at the graduate level as well as researchers and professionals involved in developing and utilizing air pollution models.
Social Work and People with Dementia
One in ten of us will suffer from dementia and as a result the increasing numbers of older people needing assistance mean that all social workers must be up-to-date in their knowledge, skills and attitudes towards people with dementia and their carers.
Plan B 3.0: Mobilizing to Save Civilization (Substantially Revised)
Provides alternative solutions to such global problems as population control, emerging water shortages, eroding soil, and global warming, outlining a detailed survival strategy for the civilization of the future.
