A Modal Approach to the Space-Time Dynamics of Cognitive Biomarkers
2024-03-01T12:00:00+01:00
<img src="https://images.lavoisier.fr/vignettes/1318164789.jpg" alt="Couverture de l'ouvrage :A Modal Approach to the Space-Time Dynamics of Cognitive Biomarkers" /><br /><div>This book develops and details a rigorous, canonical modeling approach for analyzing spatio-temporal brain wave dynamics. The nonlinear, nonstationary behavior of brain wave measures and general uncertainty associated with the brain makes it difficult to apply modern system identification techniques to such systems. While there is a substantial amount of literature on the use of stationary analyses for brain waves, relatively less work has considered real-time estimation and imaging of brain waves from noninvasive measurements. This book addresses the issue of modeling and imaging brain waves and biomarkers generally, treating the nonlinear and nonstationary dynamics in near real-time. Using a modal state-space formulation leads to intuitive, physically significant models which are used for analysis and diagnosis.</div><div><br></div><div><i>A Modal Approach to the Space-Time Dynamics of Cognitive Biomarkers</i> provides a much-needed reference for practicing researchers in biomarker modeling leveraging the lens of engineering dynamics. </div>

<img src="https://images.lavoisier.fr/vignettes/1318164863.jpg" alt="Couverture de l'ouvrage :Frailty in Children" /><br /><p>This book focuses on the management strategies of complex conditions of frail pediatric patients.</p><p>The clinical condition of frailty is usually seen as the physiological and multidimensional decline of organ systems related to age: paradoxically, a frailty condition can also occur in children as a disability resulting from various congenital or acquired diseases. The fragile patients are more vulnerable to developing severe clinical events and often need surgical interventions. Moreover, those patients have significant morbidity and lower quality of life. The improvement in managing fragile patients has improved their life expectancy, but in most health care systems, the passage from childhood to adulthood is a critical point for the lack of medical figures able to provide the continuity of care. The book aims to provide guidance for dealing with medical and surgical emergencies and to develop short and long-term treatment strategies, and will provide an analysis of the different and the most innovative techniques. </p><p>This book will be an unvaluable tool for Pediatric surgeons, Anesthesiologists, Critical Care Physicians, Hospital and family Pediatricians, nurses, Physiotherapists and Psychologists.<br></p><p><b></b></p><p><b></b></p><p><b></b></p><p><b></b></p><p><b></b></p><br><p></p>

<img src="https://images.lavoisier.fr/vignettes/1318130341.jpg" alt="Couverture de l'ouvrage :Managing Complex Cases in Gastroenterology" /><br /><p>This book was designed to help gastroenterologists take care of their patients with challenging problems. Every day in practice we face patients with issues that are not simple to master. Oftentimes we search out some guidance from ?the experts,? and, if they are available, we will curbside them, either by phone or in person. </p><p>This text is written from the standpoint of a community gastroenterologist curbsiding his academic cohorts with his challenging cases. We present a patient with a difficult GI problem and ask the academic expert how he, or she, would manage the case. We have provided over a hundred examples of problem cases and asked the experts at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) for help in their management. These cases run the gamut, including general GI, motility disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, advanced therapeutics, hepatology and functional GI disorders. </p><p>The main objective of this book is to compile the most clinically useful questions, present them to experts who frequently deal with these problems, and then wrap up their knowledge within one clinically useful text. If a community gastroenterologist had endless access to an academic panel of GI experts, these are the questions they might ask. There are hundreds of useful clinical pearls between the pages of this book which should help anyone taking care of patients with GI problems. </p><p>While the text may be targeted particularly toward practicing community gastroenterologists, it certainly can be of benefit to GI fellows in training, academic gastroenterologists, and general internists and surgeons with a strong interest in gastroenterology as well as APPs. </p>

<img src="https://images.lavoisier.fr/vignettes/1317128021.jpg" alt="Couverture de l'ouvrage :Zika" /><br />The Zika Virus transitioned from a rare and relatively mild tropical illness to a full-blown global health crisis in the span of approximately one year. Now active in more than 60 countries, Zika is an epidemic unlike any in history: a virus spread by both mosquitos and sex, and one whose most significant effect ? congenital birth defects ? might not be revealed until months after infection. Zika: What Everyone Needs to Know® offers both a summary of the virus' history to date and an expert overview of what's known ? and unknown ? about its medical impacts. Written in clear language and in a highly navigable question-and-answer format, this book offers expert answers to the most common and difficult questions surrounding this new global threat: · Where did Zika come from? · Where is Zika likely to migrate geographically? · What are the risks associated with travel and sex in Zika-affected areas? · Does Zika cause birth defects in all pregnant hosts? · Do some people's medical histories make them more susceptible to Zika? · How long after infection is conception safe? · Is a Zika vaccine likely? Authored by two of the world's leading infectious disease experts, this book offers practical and accessible information on this most unpredictable epidemic. It cuts through the slow, opaque information feed of the world's shepherding health organizations to provide the most current information available and a reliable resource for those who stand to be affected.

<img src="https://images.lavoisier.fr/vignettes/1318070484.jpg" alt="Couverture de l'ouvrage :Asian Medical Industries" /><br /><p>This book develops the concept of <i>Asian Medical Industries </i>as a novel perspective on traditional Asian medicines.</p><p>Complementing and updating existing work in this field, the book provides a critical and comparative analytic framework for understanding Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, Sowa Rigpa, and Japanese Kampo in the 21st century. No longer subaltern health resources or conservative systems of traditional knowledge, these medicines have become an integral part of modern Asia as innovative, lucrative industries. Ten original case studies employ insights from anthropology, history, geography, pharmaceutical sciences, botany, and economics to trace the transformation of Asian medical traditions into rapidly growing and dynamic pharmaceutical industries. Collectively, these contributions identify this as a major phenomenon impacting Asian and global healthcare, economics, cultural politics, and environments. The book suggests that we can learn more about Asian medicines today by approaching them as industries rather than as cultural or epistemic systems. </p><p>Asian Medical Industries is a highly original resource for students and scholars across a range of academic fields such as anthropology, history, and Asian studies, as well as medical practitioners, health sector actors, and policymakers. </p>

<img src="https://images.lavoisier.fr/vignettes/1318139742.jpg" alt="Couverture de l'ouvrage :Rester parent avec un ex toxique" /><br /><p align="center"><strong>Se protéger soi et protéger son enfant</strong></p><p>Se séparer d'un partenaire toxique ne met pas fin au lien toxique lorsqu'un enfant est né de cette relation. En effet, quelle que soit l'organisation de garde, les deux parents doivent continuer de communiquer pour assurer l'éducation de leur enfant. L'ex toxique peut redoubler d'efforts pour « prendre sa revanche », en se servant de l'enfant. Refus de coopération, dénigrement de l'autre parent auprès des institutions, manipulation de l'enfant, emprise... Il va souvent vouloir garder le contrôle et le soulagement espéré de la séparation fait alors place à d'autres problèmes pour le parent victime.</p><p>Cet ouvrage, écrit par une spécialiste de la toxicité parentale, décrit les mécanismes de l'emprise toxique sur l'ex partenaire, mais aussi sur l'enfant. L'auteure enjoint le parent victime à faire le deuil d'une coparentalité idéale et livre les clés d'un nouveau cadre à poser pour se protéger soi et protéger son enfant.</p><p> </p>

<img src="https://images.lavoisier.fr/vignettes/1318124230.jpg" alt="Couverture de l'ouvrage :Disability, Happiness and the Welfare State" /><br /><p>This book looks at disability as an evolving social phenomenon. Disability is created through the interaction between persons with impairments and their environment.</p><p>Exploring these experiences of persons with disabilities and discussing universality and particularity in our understanding of assumed development and normalcy, it takes Finland, which has been chosen repeatedly as the happiest country in the world as its case- study. Using disability as a critical lens helps to demystify Finland that has the positive reputation of a Welfare State. By identifying different kinds of discrimination against persons with disabilities as well as successful examples of disability inclusion, it shows that when looking Finland from the perspective of persons with disabilities, inequality and poverty have been collective experiences of too many of them.</p><p>It will be of interest to all scholars and students of disability studies, sociology, social policy, social work, political science, health and well-being studies and Nordic studies more broadly.</p>

Fatigue in Sport and Exercise
2024-03-01T12:00:00+01:00
<img src="https://images.lavoisier.fr/vignettes/1318078088.jpg" alt="Couverture de l'ouvrage :Fatigue in Sport and Exercise" /><br /><p>Fatigue is an important concern for athletes at all levels, recreational sport and exercise participants, athletic coaches, personal trainers, and fitness professionals. The study of fatigue is also important for students of the sport, exercise, and health sciences, as it enables a deeper understanding of fundamental physical function and the limitations behind human performance. </p><p>There remains considerable debate about the definition of fatigue, what causes it, its impact during different forms of sport and exercise, and the multitude of factors that can influence the nature and severity of fatigue. The vast body of literature in these areas can make it challenging to understand what we know and what we still need to understand about fatigue in sport and exercise. </p><p>The second edition of this book presents a fully revised and updated overview of the contemporary research evidence into sport and exercise fatigue. The book examines the latest thinking into how we conceptualise fatigue, as well as how we measure it. The fundamental science of fatigue is introduced, focussing predominantly on physiological aspects of energy depletion, metabolic acidosis, environmental challenges, electrolytes and minerals, and the perception of fatigue as it relates to mental fatigue and the central regulation of sport and exercise performance. Each chapter includes real case studies from sport and exercise, as well as useful features to aid learning and understanding such as definitions of key terms, guides to further reading, and discussion questions. <i>Fatigue in Sport and Exercise</i>, Second Edition is an invaluable companion for any degree-level course in sport and exercise science, fitness and training, or strength and conditioning.</p>

Constructing Canine Consent
2024-03-01T12:00:00+01:00
<img src="https://images.lavoisier.fr/vignettes/1318083000.jpg" alt="Couverture de l'ouvrage :Constructing Canine Consent" /><br /><p>The concept of canine consent is far more than simply a buzzword in modern dog training practices. In its current form, consent is a distinctly human concept, designed by humans and for humans. Looking beyond species boundaries can help us not only consider concepts of canine consent and autonomy, but it can also help us to apply these concepts in our everyday interactions with dogs, which is fundamental for any professional working with dogs as well as for everyday dog caregivers. This canine-indexed definition of consent includes a model of five major categories: Touch/interaction-based consent, cooperative care using learned consent behaviours, activity consent, consent-based learning, and substitutive consent. These categories involve a two-way communication system, integration of salient choices, teaching consent behaviours and incorporating existing training protocols that adhere to the Humane Hierarchy of best practices, and an evaluation of dependent decision-making in extenuating circumstances. This book aims to merge the existing literature and new understandings about canine consent to paint a complete picture. It will challenge the current expectations of dogs and dog behaviour in our society with an intention of considering their perspectives, experiences, and emotional needs. It will be important reading for veterinary professionals, dog trainers and behaviourists, those involved in work with therapy dogs, and anybody working with or caring for dogs.</p>

Data from case control, epigenetic and mendelian randomization studies indicate that people with elevated Lp(a) have a two-fold to four-fold increased risk of cardiovascular events compared to people with low Lp(a) levels. Despite this risk, awareness of Lp(a) is still very low among health care providers. Even cardiologists often overlook Lp(a), in part because Lp(a) is not as well-understood as other risk factors and treatment options are still very limited. </p> <p></p>This book offers an authoritative and comprehensive overview of Lipoprotein(a). It provides an in-depth review of all aspects of Lp(a), from pathophysiology to metabolism.

This book addresses this mystery. The two leading explanations are either that women are ?psychologically broken? - Freud?s theory ? or badly designed ? the ?by-product theory.? However, there is a much more compelling third explanation. Evolutionary biology, anatomy, physiology, and direct sex research suggest women have evolved under their own selection pressures and orgasm is a fitness-increasing consequence of such selective factors.

<img src="https://images.lavoisier.fr/vignettes/1318164462.jpg" alt="Couverture de l'ouvrage :Antimicrobial Stewardship in Non-Traditional Settings" /><br />The evolution of Antimicrobial Resistance is outpacing the ability to create novel antibiotics, which is proving to be a global problem in the fact of climate change, population growth, demographic shifts toward aging populations, emerging infections, and other crises. Therefore, clinicians are forced to use the existing antimicrobials more responsibly to preserve their longevity for generations to come. In a parallel vein, there has been a recent regulatory acknowledgement of the importance of prudent antimicrobial prescribing, mandating the implementation of Antimicrobial Stewardship across all healthcare settings. This is harder to manage in a non-traditional setting, which include long-term care facilities, outpatient care clinics, urgent care centers, and others. Given the trends in patient care in these settings?particularly where the aging community is concerned?this is proving to be a growing problem. This is troublesome even for spaces that have university and large hospital affiliations.<p></p><p> </p> There is a plethora of data describing the implementation and outcomes of Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs in acute-care hospitals with open-access, evidence-based guidelines endorsed by the Infectious Diseases Society of America. However, non-traditional settings often find themselves struggling to implement the same practices and procedures due to their unique needs and limited resources. There may be variability in access to resources, applicability, and patient-type. This book seeks to inform those in non-traditional healthcare settings on the principles, practice, and outcomes of Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs to improve patient care across all settings.<p></p><p> </p> The text begins by unpacking Antimicrobial Stewardship in nontraditional settings then covers specific environments, including long-term care facilities, outpatient clinics, and emergency departments. The text also covers special topics, including veterinary medicine, HIV, oncology, and immunocompromised patients, pediatrics, neonates, transplant, and critical care patients.

It is the only major sense whose evolution can be traced back to vertebrates, starting with sarcopterygians. </p><p>The book explores the evolution of auditory development that has remained largely unexplored in contemporary theories of neurosensory brain evolution, including the telencephalon. It describes how sensory epithelia from the basilar papilla evolved in the ear and connected dedicated cochlear neurons to neuronal centers in the brain, and deals with how sound is converted through sound modulations into reliably decoded messages. </p><p>The loss of hearing with age is expected to reach 2.6 billion people by 2050. As such, the book explains and reviews hearing loss at the molecular level to the behavioral level, and provides suggestions to manage the loss.</p>

Toxicologic Pathology
2024-03-01T12:00:00+01:00
<img src="https://images.lavoisier.fr/vignettes/1318078226.jpg" alt="Couverture de l'ouvrage :Toxicologic Pathology" /><br /><p>There has been an enormous growth of interest in the field of toxicologic pathology and particularly on its impact on nonclinical safety assessment in global drug development and in the environment. Toxicologic pathologists play an important role in detecting test article-related adverse effects by characterizing morphologic changes in animal tissues and/or body fluids under prescribed study conditions or less clearly defined conditions in the environment and in the interpretation of these findings relative to human risk. In fact, pathology evaluation is often the single most important decision-making factor in nonclinical safety assessments as 80% of drug candidate attrition has been attributed to pathology findings in toxicity studies. There are currently no primers or basic overviews covering the field of toxicologic pathology, whereas there are at least several basic books that cover the sister field of toxicology.</p><p><b><i>Toxicologic Pathology: A Primer</i></b> is a practical, easy-to-use reference designed to contain core information provided by board-certified veterinary pathologists, all experts in the field. The Primer contains the basic, underlying principles of toxicologic pathology at the introductory level; thus it will be valuable to the veterinary pathology student who may be considering a career in the field as well as a companion to the seasoned toxicologic pathologist who wants a succinct refresher. The Primer is arranged as chapters presenting each major organ system preceded by an overview chapter covering the field of toxicologic pathology followed by a ?concept? chapter describing the role of toxicologic pathology in drug development. Photomicrographs and illustrations provide visual context.</p><p>The organ system chapters provide histopathologic descriptions of lesions observed in toxicity studies of test articles in drug development and testing of chemicals that may negatively impact the environment. Each organ system chapter provides additional information related to a particular lesion to aid the reader in better understanding its toxicologic significance relative to human risk.</p><p>Each organ system chapter contains:</p><ul><li>A brief introduction</li><li>A succinct description of the anatomy and physiology of the system</li><li>Descriptions of the most important pathological lesions</li><li>Differential diagnoses</li><li>Biological consequences, pathogenesis, and/or mechanism of lesion formation</li><li>Associated clinical pathology correlates</li></ul><p>Nonclinical safety scientists such as study directors, non-pathology-oriented contributing scientists such as senior toxicology report reviewers, scientific management of Contract Research Organizations (CROs), and students should find the Primer useful in helping them understand the fundamentals of toxicologic pathology.</p>

<img src="https://images.lavoisier.fr/vignettes/1318083613.jpg" alt="Couverture de l'ouvrage :Toxicology of Amphibian Tadpoles" /><br /><p>Anuran amphibians are among the animal groups with the highest rate of population decline on the planet. Among the factors driving this decline are environmental pollutants, whose negative effects on larvae and tadpoles are still relatively little studied. This is the first book devoted entirely to studying the effects of environmental pollutants on amphibian tadpoles. Throughout its 14 chapters, various aspects of the toxic effects of different classes of environmental contaminants are explored, such as the toxicokinetics of toxic compounds in tadpoles and their health effects, which may result in negative consequences at populations level.</p>

<img src="https://images.lavoisier.fr/vignettes/1317248451.jpg" alt="Couverture de l'ouvrage :Geotechnical Slope Analysis" /><br /><p>This second edition of <i>Geotechnical Slope Analysis</i> is an updated version of the original scholarly book. In this edition, concepts and applications have been thoroughly revised. In particular, the ?Initial Stress Approach? has been extended to 2D problems in a more rigorous manner. Additional solved numerical examples have been added in several chapters. More importantly, the meaning of the results is explored through interpretation. </p><p>The influence of initial stresses, pore water pressures and seismic forces has been explored not only on performance indicators such as the ?Factor of Safety? but also on the location of critical slip surfaces. In addition to these factors, it is shown that the chosen method of analysis may also have a significant influence on the location of the critical slip surface. Student exercises have been included in some chapters with a view to encouraging further study and research, and reference is often made to case studies of particular importance.</p><p>The best features of the book have been retained with continued emphasis on both deterministic and probabilistic approaches for quantifying slope performance. The traditional performance indicator such as ?Factor of Safety? can be complemented by the calculation of the ?Reliability Index? and the ?Probability of Failure?. This book focuses on research studies concerning slope behaviour, the occurrence of landslides and the use of alternative methods of analysis and interpretation. The importance of uncertainties in slope performance and, more broadly, in geotechnical engineering is emphasised. </p><p>This book will be valuable to undergraduate and senior students of civil, mining and geological engineering as well as to academic teachers and instructors and also to researchers, practising geotechnical engineers and consultants.</p>
