Diseases of the Endocannabinoid System
This book fills the need for a detailed examination of the role of Endocannabinoid System in all the body's main organ systems and how dysregulation of that system can lead to disease. It serves as an in-depth analysis of the thousands and thousands of studies on the Endocannabinoid System within the medical literature. It covers the many diseases that can result from Endocannabinoid system dysfunction, ranging from metabolic syndrome to anxiety disorders to osteoporosis. The book is written primarily for medical providers and those with a science background.

Cancer Field Surgery in Gynecologic Oncology
This book encompasses the results of two decades of research on locoregional spread of gynecologic cancer, which put forth the ontogenetic cancer field model and its clinical translation in terms of ontogenetic tumor staging and cancer field surgery, particularly for carcinomas of the lower female genital tract. The ontogenetic cancer field model describes the propagation of malignant tumors within distinct permissive tissue regions determined by the development of the tissue from which the neoplasm originated. As the morphogenesis of multicellular animals proceeds stepwise through bifurcational cell fate specification within tissue regions dictated by the positional identity and plasticity of the precursor cell populations, tumor formation during malignant progression occurs as a stepwise process in the reverse direction with regard to positional identity and plasticity. This principle of order can be exploited for diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of cancer in general. The motivation to study in depth the topography of tumor spread arose from the insight that the conventional view of local cancer propagation as an unlimited isotropic process is falsified by numerous inconsistencies with clinical facts. Consequently, conventional cancer therapy based on this model cannot achieve optimal outcomes. The cancer field model and its application in gynecologic oncology has been published in highly ranked journals. However, the complexity of the principles and practice need the format of a well-structured book for their successful transmission to gynecologic surgeons, clinical oncologists, cancer researchers and postgraduate medical students.
The Artificial Womb
This is the first book explaining the current development of an artificial womb which in future will be able to save lives of extremely premature infants.The author, Prof. Guid Oei, from a technical university with a clinical background in obstetrics and infertility, is the leader of an international consortium of researchers working on the development of an artificial placenta.This book covers the definition, history, and ethical considerations surrounding artificial wombs. The book also delves into the different components of the artificial uterus, including the artificial amnion and placenta. The last three chapters discuss the challenges that need to be addressed before this technology can become a reality and its potential future applications.This book is an excellent resource for anyone who is interested in learning more about artificial wombs. It's written in clear, accessible language that is easy to understand, even if you don't have a background in science or medicine. So, whether you're a curious layperson or a scientist looking to stay up-to-date on the latest developments in the field, this book has something for you.
Reclaiming the Self in Psychiatry
Reclaiming the Self in Psychiatry: Centering Personal Narratives for Humanist Science diagnoses the fundamental problem in contemporary scientific psychiatry to be a lack of a sophisticated and nuanced engagement with the self and proposes a solution - the Multitudinous Self Model (MuSe).MuSe fulfils psychiatry's twin commitments to patients' flourishing and scientific objectivity. Marshalling the conceptual and empirical resources from testimonies from individuals diagnosed with mental disorders, substantive research in cognitive science, and empirically informed philosophy, MuSe provides clinicians, scientists, and patients pathways to respond to mental distresses and disorders. This framework boosts psychiatry's relationship to science by facilitating expansive notions of expertise and objectivity in which some patients are recognized as "experience-based experts" whose contributions to psychiatric knowledge are indispensable.Şerife Tekin draws the contours of a future for psychiatry that is grounded in philosophy, medical humanities, and social sciences as much as physiology and neuroscience.This book is an ideal read for professional psychiatrists and philosophers of psychiatry who are interested in the philosophy of mental health.

The UK Association of Supportive Care in Cancer Handbook of Supportive Oncology
What does supportive care do that palliative care doesn't already do? Answering that question forms part of the rationale behind this text. Supportive care should encompass a wide range of diverse disciplines and practices, ranging from symptom management, to rehabilitation, to social, spiritual, and psychological support, patient information, and complementary therapies. Supportive care is, therefore, delivered across the whole cancer experience from diagnosis through treatment to post-treatment care, and so necessitates the involvement of most clinical specialties and many non-clinical services. Palliative care - which focuses on advanced disease and end of life - has a special and important role within this broader and longer-term scope of supportive care in cancer.This handbook defines the new and emerging specialty and equips its workforce with the appropriate skill sets. Supplies the framework of knowledge and orientation for the best interactions with patients Focuses on the essential points needed by those in training Provides the ideal starting-point for a professional career in Supportive Oncology
