Learning disabilities are a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by failure to acquire, retrieve, and use information competently. These disorders have a multifactorial aetiology and are most common and severe in children, especially when comorbid with other chronic health conditions. This book provides current and comprehensive information about learning disorders, including information on neurobiology, assessment, clinical features, and treatment. Chapters cover such topics as historical research and hypotheses of learning disorders, neuropsychological assessment and counselling, characteristics of specific disorders such as autism and ADHD, evidence-based treatment strategies and assistive technologies, and much more.

Die beliebte Diagnose der "Wissensgesellschaft" verdeckt, dass keineswegs geklärt scheint, von welchem Wissen hier die Rede ist. Vor der zeitdiagnostischen Analyse muss daher in epistemologischer Hinsicht eine kritische, transdisziplinär angelegte Begriffsarbeit stehen. Bleibt dies aus, prägen weiter zahllebige Mythen unser Wissen vom Wissen; der graue Schwan steht dann bildhaft für jenen eigenartigen Zwang, diesbezüglich Zentrales leichthin zu ignorieren: Weder besteht Wissen aus einem geheimnisvollen physikalischen Stoff Information, der beliebig zwischen unterschiedlich strukturierten Systemen hin- und her übertragen oder von diesen umstandslos gespeichert werden könnte, noch ist es sinnvoll als Gut, Rohstoff oder gar Ware zu begreifen. Wissen generiert den Erscheinungen der Welt kognitiv und kommunikativ ihre (stabile) Bedeutung.

Bladder cancer is one of the most exciting urological cancers. It exists in two forms - non-muscle-invasive (NMI) and muscle-invasive (MI) disease. The difference in the clinical picture has been the focus of significant research in defining the molecular characteristics of urothelial cancer (UC) of the bladder. This book provides an overview of the most hotly debated areas in bladder cancer. Authors have focused on the emerging role of markers for NMI UC and various ways of improving the efficacy of current chemotherapy in the first section. The second section has focused on the surgical aspects of MI UC. Two major areas of debate - the role of pelvic lymph node dissection and genital sparing surgery - are discussed in this section.
The authors combine clinical vignettes, research findings, methodological considerations and historical accounts.
