Perspectives in Genetic and Epigenetic Regulatory Mechanisms in Dental and Craniofacial Biology
Genetic factors have been proved to be involved in almost all dental and craniomaxillofacial diseases. Typical dental and craniomaxillofacial hereditary diseases refer to hereditary diseases which occurs in the oral and maxillofacial area, as well as systemic or other system hereditary diseases accompanied by oral abnormality. The former includes enamel hypoplasia, dentin hypoplasia and cleft lip and palate, which mainly occur in the oral cavity. While the latter commonly includes cranial clavicle hypoplasia, congenital ectodermal hypoplasia, osteogenesis imperfecta, and osteosclerosis. In addition, common diseases that appear locally in the oral cavity, including caries, periodontitis, oral...
Cross Dressing, Sex, and Gender
In any society, the perception of femininity and masculinity is not necessarily dependent on female or male genitalia. Cross dressing, gender impersonation, and long-term masquerades of the opposite sex are commonplace throughout history.

Using case-studies from East and Southeast Asia, this book examines sexuality and AIDS-related sexual risk in the context of Asian cultures.

Joshi assemble a wide-ranging and important collection of essays documenting the intersections of race and religion and Asian American communities—a combination so often missing both in the scholarly literature and in public discourse. Issues of religion and race/ethnicity undergird current national debates around immigration, racial profiling, and democratic freedoms, but these issues, as the contributors document, are longstanding ones in the United States. The essays feature dimensions of traditions such as Islam, Hinduism, and Sikhism, as well as how religion engages with topics that include religious affili...
