Surprised by Nothing
Kathryn Kyker used to faint at the sight of blood. But after three decades as an ER social worker, blood no longer fazed her-and neither did anything else.Kathryn took her job at a regional Georgia hospital because she was desperate for health insurance. Although she found the work meaningful and became the hospital's first ER social work manager, the high-stakes environment left her unable to cry, hypervigilant about safety, and detached from family and friends.With her inner emotional landscape sabotaged, Kathryn set out on a quest to regain her relationship with curiosity, joy, and the bonds that make us human. The result is a reflective interrogation of the US health care system, a meditation on social work, and a thoughtful inquiry into the emotional responsibilities we have to ourselves-and one another.Full of compassion and humorous insight, Surprised by Nothing is a compelling reminder of how to live a creative and nurturing life, even in the face of the world's random, devastating hardships.A portion of this book's proceeds will be donated to Project HOPE, which supports health care workers and improves access to care around the world.

Biosimilars Development Strategies
After 18 years since the first biosimilar was approved, a lot has changed, from the regulatory guidelines to the stakeholder perceptions about the safety and efficacy of biosimilars. However, the development costs remain high, preventing faster entry into markets with more than 200 choices. Analyzing the regulatory filings of all approved biosimilars in the US and EU, a deep analysis of the scientific principles, and continuous challenges to the regulatory authorities have made it possible to plan the development on a fast track. This book teaches how to cut the current time and cost by more than 70%, based on the author's hands-on experience.Features: Describes the emergence of biosimilars since the first publication of the recombinant engineering patent, as well as a listing of all approved recombinant products, their patent expiry and their adoption across the globe.

Promoting Behavioral Change to Improve Health Outcomes
Health promotion and illness prevention interventions play a pivotal role in promoting healthier behaviours and reducing the prevalence and burden of disease across the world. These interventions utilise a multifaceted approach that includes education and awareness campaigns, behavioural techniques to influence individual and collective choices, and system changes to support citizens in making healthier choices. This Special Issue focuses on research studying such behaviours and is particularly interested in the prevention agenda; that is, the way in which the adoption of healthy behaviours can delay or even prevent future illness and chronic disease. The studies reported herein encompass a diverse range of health behaviours, from addiction and physical activity sustainability to medical adherence, mental health, and sleep. The reprint will be of particular interest to researchers interested in behaviour change, and those looking for examples of how theory can be used effectively in both understanding complex challenges and in applied settings. The benefits of these interventions are twofold: individuals lead healthier, longer lives, and the societal costs associated with treating preventable diseases are considerably reduced.

Advances in Oral Diseases Diagnosis and Management
The Special Issue "Advances in Oral Diseases Diagnosis and Management: 2nd Edition", published in Diagnostics (ISSN 2075-4418) under the section "Pathology and Molecular Diagnostics," presents a comprehensive collection of research advancing the diagnosis and management of oral diseases. Edited by Dr. Dimitris Tatsis and Dr. Konstantinos Paraskevopoulos from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, this issue addresses critical public health challenges posed by oral conditions, including oral potentially malignant disorders, oral cancer, autoimmune disorders, infections, temporomandibular joint disorders, osteomyelitis, and medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws. Featuring 15 peer-reviewed papers, this Special Issue encompasses a wide spectrum of head and neck pathologies. Key contributions explore innovative diagnostic tools such as mucoscopy, bioimpedance, and optical coherence tomography, alongside histopathological and clinical analyses of conditions like oral lichen planus, leukoplakia, and peri-implantitis. The research highlights interdisciplinary approaches, integrating molecular biology, genetics, and microbiology, emphasizing early detection, personalized treatment, and patient-centered care to improve oral and systemic health outcomes.
An Update on Syndemics
The syndemics framework proposes that the co-occurrence of diseases within specific time periods and geographic regions is driven by adverse social and environmental conditions that exacerbate and reinforce poor health outcomes. Over the past quarter-century, this theoretical lens has significantly shaped health-related disciplines, offering critical insights into research, policy, and practice.This Special Issue seeks to spotlight emerging syndemic configurations of infectious diseases with the goal of informing more effective health policies and interventions. Much of the existing literature has focused on HIV-related syndemics; however, newer constellations of diseases-such as those involving COVID-19, Ebola, MPOX, dengue, mucormycosis, and neglected tropical diseases-are increasingly evident and merit scholarly attention. In addition, while pandemics increasingly cross borders and share underlying social determinants, the specific syndemic dynamics they generate are deeply shaped by local political, economic, cultural, and environmental factors. Accordingly, there is an urgent need for place-specific analyses that support tailored intervention strategies.In this Special Issue, authors were asked to address all three core elements of the syndemics framework: the biological interplay of diseases, the synergistic effects that emerge from their interaction, and the local social characteristics of affected populations that support disease clustering.

Pathways to the Development of the Aging Phenotype
Pathways to the Development of the Aging Phenotype explores the journey that all living things must eventually take. Using the definition that aging is a "multifactorial syndrome caused by multiple pathophysiological processes that occur simultaneously in multiple tissues of the aged," Dr. John Papaconstantinou provides a wholistic look at aging, its causes, how it presents, and how aging syndromes can be treated. In addition, this book offers a deeper look at the effects of aging on individual organs.
