What should you do when you have restricted resources? Written by the most prominent experts from the North and the South countries, this book offers a unique complement to classical hematology and oncology textbooks focusing on specific issues concerning cancers in tropical areas. It presents a thorough review of the specific biological, clinical and therapeutic characteristics of cancers in tropical areas, including their background and epidemiology, public health consequences and transcultural mediation. As such, it will be a valuable resource for all hemato-oncology practitioners, students of oncology or tropical medicine, and other physicians involved in the care of cancer patients who live in tropical countries.
The 7th International Conference on Medical Imaging and Computer Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2004, was held in Saint-Malo, Brittany, France at the “Palais du Grand Large” conference center, September 26–29, 2004.

IRISA is a publicly funded national research laboratory with a sta? of 370,including150full-timeresearchscientistsorteachingresearchscientistsand 115 postgraduate students. INRIA, the CNRS, and the University of Rennes 1 are all partners in this mixed research unit, and all three organizations were helpful in supporting MICCAI.

Esta compilación presenta dieciséis capítulos que exponen las reflexiones, debates y propuestas de soluciones que cada autor plantea empleando una metodología de investigación cualitativa con enfoque dogmático. De esta manera, cada asunto se abordó mediante el empleo del pensamiento lógico, el análisis y la comprensión de los conceptos, la consulta de las fuentes doctrinales, normativas y jurisprudenciales más importantes de cada tema, afrontando las problemáticas culturales, históricas y prácticas, así como empleando, en algunas materias, un análisis de derecho comparado que permita entender aún más los avances o falencias del derecho estudiado. Los métodos subyacentes corresponden al análisis lógico, sistemático, ideológico y empírico de cada autor y son fruto de su experiencia en el litigio, su trabajo en las Altas Cortes, la academia, en el sector privado y, en general, del conocimiento de la realidad colombiana.
Complexity is a ubiquitous phenomenon in physiology that allows living systems to adapt to external perturbations. Fractal structures, self-organization, nonlinearity, interactions at different scales, and interconnections among systems through anatomical and functional networks, may originate complexity. Biomedical signals from physiological systems may carry information about the system complexity useful to identify physiological states, monitor health, and predict pathological events. Therefore, complexity analysis of biomedical signals is a rapidly evolving field aimed at extracting information on the physiological systems. This book consists of 16 contributions from authors with a stro...
This report explores the potential for mitigating the impacts of climate change by improved management and protection of marine ecosystems and especially the vegetated coastal habitat, or blue carbon sinks. The objective of this report is to highlight the critical role of the oceans and ocean ecosystems in maintaining our climate and in assisting policy makers to mainstream an oceans agenda into national and international climate change initiatives. While emissions' reductions are currently at the centre of the climate change discussions, the critical role of the oceans and ocean ecosystems has been vastly overlooked.
