Music Therapy in Palliative Care: New Voices
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Aldridge, David, PUBLISHER: Jessica Kingsley Publishers, Working together in a creative way to enhance the quality of living can help patients make sense of dying. Within the past decade, music therapists have developed their work with people who have life-threatening illnesses and with those who are dying. Music Therapy in Palliative Care presents some of the work from music therapists working in different approaches, in different countries. They describe their experiences when working with children and adults living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other chronic degenerative diseases. Music therapists, as clinicians, are strongly engaged with their clients: it is this intimacy which is so important for those who are suffering. In this book, the dedication of the therapist to allow and encourage personal expression in others, is reflected. It is of relevance, therefore, to all those involved in caring for the sick and the dying. While there are traditions of case presentation and musical excellence within music therapy, and a developing practice of research, the tradition of clinical writing has been neglected.

Embryos, Genes and Birth Defects
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ferretti, Patricia / Copp, Andrew / Tickle, Cheryll, PUBLISHER: John Wiley & Sons, The first edition of "Embryos, Genes and Birth Defects," edited by the late Peter Thorogood, was a radical new book aimed at bridging the gap between the medical disciplines of embryology and dysmorphology, and recent advances in cellular, molecular and developmental biology. This new edition remains unique in its breadth and brings up to date our understanding of birth defects and of the strategies utilized to gain such knowledge. It features new chapters on human cytogenetics, mutagenesis and the eyes and ears. The book presents key topics in developmental biology and explains how they provide the foundations for understanding clinical birth defects. The first six chapters introduce concepts and strategies adopted to elucidate developmental anomalies leading to birth defects. The book then focuses on specific organs and reviews the cellular and molecular mechanisms affecting their development and how disruption of these mechanisms by genetic or environmental factors may underlie certain birth defects. The chapters are concise and provide up-to-date coverage of topics in a format that is easily accessible and yet at the forefront of research. Written primarily for paediatricians, obstetricians, clinical geneticists and allied workers, this book guides the reader through the contribution of modern molecular biology to our understanding of human development. Developmental and cellular biologists will learn how errors in the cellular and genetic mechanism can lead to classical disorders, diseases and syndromes.

Phagocyte Function: A Guide for Research and Clinical
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Robinson, J. Paul / Babcock, George F., PUBLISHER: Wiley-Liss, Phagocyte Function A Guide for Research and Clinical Evaluation Edited by J. Paul Robinson and George F. Babcock Since , when the Nobel prize was awarded to two doctors who proposed the primary role of phagocytes in the body's defense system, this theory of cell function has steadily gained acceptance. In fact, the past fifteen years have seen phagocyte research blossom into a sophisticated tool for understanding the immune system. Today, the ability to evaluate the abnormalities of phagocytes--or cells that ingest foreign particles and debris--is integral to the treatment of AIDS, cancer, severe burns, and a host of cell diseases. Phagocyte Function is the first volume in an important new series that will embrace all cytometric methods. This authoritative text, featuring individual chapters written by leading researchers and clinicians, is designed to provide both novice and expert with a complete understanding of phagocyte function. The volume's extensive range covers everything from the basic concepts needed to understand phagocyte activity, to the clinical applications necessary for evaluation and diagnosis, including flow cytometry, confocal microscopy, and image analysis. This comprehensive reference manual includes: * The role of cellular receptors and signal transduction * New pathways for studying respiratory burst mechanisms * The functional role of monocytes/macrophages in health and disease, including clinical syndromes and macrophages in wound treatment * Single-source coverage that combines parallel research on both neutrophils and macrophages Phagocyte Function is an indispensable resource for clinical and biomedical researchers in the fields of cytometry, immunology, oncology, cell biology, and microbiology who routinely measure functional abnormalities of phagocytes. Phagocyte Function is as useful in the classroom as it is in the laboratory or clinic.
