In clinical practice, the most important points for accurately diagnosing neonatal infections are: immediate results at the bedside (quickness), accuracy of results (reliability), the degree of invasiveness to the sick baby is as low as possible (less invasiveness), the examination is not too expensive (cost performance), and the examination can be repeated (repeatability). This book describes the acute phase reactant (APR) score, in which one test item is 10 μL, and three APRs can be measured within 3 minutes in total at the bedside and scored. With clinicians' keen observability and this APR score, neonatal infections can be confidently assessed. In addition, this book does not only refer to APR score, but also publishes the measurement results of cytokine profiles in comparison with APR scores throughout. This book will also increase understanding of the pathophysiology of neonatal infectious diseases.
This book integrates diversified methodologies of area studies, regional economic development, regional science, and related fields to draw up a strategy for forming the “regional food industrial cluster” in Northeast Asia. This is done by assigning “innovation” to a core concept, with the basic problem of food security as the horizontal axis and the areas of Northeast Asia as the vertical axis. Specifically, the principle of “collaborative advantage” as a key factor is extracted from case studies on food industrial clustering in each area. As a final objective, a practical policy recommendation is presented while the theorization of the industrial cluster is developed. Therefore it is also a challenge to the old and new issue of food security which has been argued until now.
Based on the proceedings of the eleventh international Cellucon conference held in Tsukuba, Japan, this book offers a comprehensive overview of important research undertaken into all aspects of environmentally compatible polymers. It deals with natural and synthetic polymer materials such as gels, fibres, pulp and paper, films, foams, blends and composites and shows how environmental compatibility such as biodegradability and recyclability can be developed by utilising natural polymers such as polysaccharides and polyphenols.
