The role of nursing in prenatal care
Prenatal care is an assistance aimed at pregnant women during pregnancy, which aims to clarify doubts and guide them, to avoid possible problems that may occur with them and the fetus. It is the pregnant woman's right to be oriented, to receive the proper information and support, thus making her feel calmer during pregnancy. The nurse must be closely linked to patient care, in a holistic way, and it is of utmost importance the assistance and monitoring of nurses in prenatal care, through the use of technical and scientific knowledge. The research aims to demonstrate the role of nurses in prenatal care, according to the opinion of pregnant women who do this monitoring in the Family Health Program - PSF I Andrezina Severina de Rezende in Jo瓊o Pinheiro-MG. To obtain this information, questionnaires were applied to pregnant women and the head nurse of the health unit. This study was conducted qualitatively, with involvement between the researcher and the respondents, presenting the necessary changes to improve prenatal care provided by nurses.

A Bold Profession
In rural South African clinics, Black nurses played critical roles. Charged with administering valuable and life-saving health care measures despite a lack of equipment and personnel, these nurses had to navigate the intersections of traditional African healing practices, changing gender relations, and increasing educational and economic opportunities for South Africa's Black middle class between the 1960s and 1980s. Leslie Anne Hadfield compellingly demonstrates how these women were able to successfully carve out their own professional space and reshape notions of health and healing in the Eastern Cape. Bringing forth the stories of these nurses in their own voices, A Bold Profession is an homage to their dedication to the well-being of their communities. Hadfield sheds light on the struggles of balancing commitment to career and family lives during an oppressive apartheid. The volume fills an important gap for scholars studying the history of women, nursing, and health care in South Africa, illuminating the humanity of health care workers.

Beyond Burnout, Second Edition
Healthcare professions typically attract those who give deeply of themselves to make a positive difference in others' lives. But that giving can come at a significant price: burnout. While the healthcare vocation offers myriad options in work settings and career paths, it can also involve tremendous amounts of stress because of long shifts, mental and physical exhaustion, patient challenges, and regulatory changes. When stress and fatigue overtake a healthcare provider's ability to adequately cope with physically and emotionally taxing circumstances, burnout is often the result, potentially leading to compromises in quality and patient safety. Since the publication of the first edition of this book, the COVID-19 pandemic has only added dramatically to nurses' and other healthcare providers' stress, exacerbating existing problems with strained resources and labor shortages. In Beyond Burnout, Second Edition, author Suzanne Waddill-Goad adds new strategies and up-to-date, data-driven information for building hardiness and resilience so that nurses and other healthcare workers can successfully navigate their increasingly challenging environment while reducing stress and preventing burnout.

A supervision model
The book presents a personal model of supervision developed by the author and based on her long experience as supervisor and university teacher in Sweden and in continental Europe. Working models by the author and other supervisors, and appreciated in supervision groups, are described in detail. Several quotes are given from supervisees within a range of activities. The book may be used of many professionals within various supervision activities: newcomers and students in supervision training will learn how a supervision model can be formed and developed. Those with more experience as a supervisor may be inspired to consciously reflect on their own style and get new clues on how to work in a different way. Supervisees may also benefit by taking part in experiences of others. Managers budgeting supervision may find useful information about how supervision can be perceived and experienced by the supervised. Procurers can also gain broader knowledge and take part in the experiences and expectations the supervised have of supervision and of the supervisor. Lilja Cajvert: "Through continuous reflection on experiences, a model has emerged. There is a meaning in what I do, a common thread, a thought, a theoretical idea. Supervision is a complex professional practice and too responsible, demanding and lonely work to be practiced without reflection and awareness of what you are doing, why and for what purpose". Lilja Cajvert is senior lecturer in social work, previously at Gothenburg University, Sweden. She is a social worker, licensed psychotherapist, supervisor and author. She has a long experience as teacher and supervisor for professionals within various occupations of care, social work and school. She is also working internationally as supervisor and lecturer.

COVID-19 Drug Development - Recent Advances, New Perspectives and Applications
COVID-19 is a rampant worldwide problem. It is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and is manifest in different variants. The Delta variant compromised existing therapeutic and preventive options for this disease and is beginning to be replaced by the Omicron variant. Through pharmaceutical biotechnology, three different treatment approaches to COVID-19 have been developed: computer-aided drug design (CADD); rational drug design in the wet lab; and the advanced drug delivery system. These approaches are heavily influenced by advances in life sciences, such as the development of structural bioinformatics, the establishment of nanobiotechnology as a standard approach in drug design, and major advances in structural biology such as the development of the CryoEM method. This book will focus on providing possible solutions to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in light of these advances in life sciences.
Antiviral Drugs - Intervention Strategies
With the increasing emergence of viral infections worldwide, researchers are working to develop new and non-conventional treatments for infectious diseases. This is particularly true for SARS-CoV-2, which initiated a pandemic in 2019. With a focus on coronavirus, this book provides an overview of antiviral agents and new approaches to drug design. It includes five chapters that address new avenues for drug discovery, reprofiling of current drugs, computer-aided drug design, and more.
Advances in Soft Tissue Tumors
This book aims to foster collaboration between world-class bench scientists and clinicians in the fields of oncology, surgery, and pathology as they come together to highlight the complexity and diversity of soft tissue tumors as well as recent advances in their diagnosis and clinical management.
Advanced Drug Delivery Systems
The physicochemical properties of drugs limit their delivery in terms of absorption, circulation, residence time, and so on, which in turn impacts the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, toxicity, immunogenicity, and efficacy of these drugs. Various advanced drug delivery systems can overcome such issues and improve therapeutic efficacy. Recent developments in novel drug delivery systems have opened new avenues to providing the safest, most effective, and most stable dosage forms. This book discusses advanced drug delivery systems, including oraganogels, transdermal delivery systems for chronic and acute pain, ocular systems, nanosponges for cancer targeting, and much more.
Cancer Metastasis - Molecular Mechanism and Clinical Therapy
Cancer mortality and morbidity are primarily brought on by metastasis. The ability of neoplastic cells to spread and colonize distant tissues is their most dangerous trait. Most malignancies are curable when they are detected early and have not spread outside of the original tissue. However, cancer is frequently incurable when tumor cells have created colonies elsewhere. Thus, the book content This book provides comprehensive information on cancer metastasis, along with references to specific cancer cases. The topics discussed include invasion by perturbation of cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion, matrix degradation, motility, intravasation, extravasation, metastatic colonization, metastasis and angiogenesis. Molecular mechanisms, the metastatic process, and palliative bone metastasis therapy are also considered.
Tumor Angiogenesis and Modulators
Tumor angiogenesis is critical for tumor growth and progression. It is a multistep and complicated process, and the mechanism underlying tumor angiogenesis is not fully elucidated. Recent advances in tumor angiogenesis research have led to improved diagnosis, drug treatment, and clinical management of cancer. However, novel strategies for cancer treatment are urgently needed, especially biomarker discovery for diagnosis, prognosis, and targeted therapy. This book presents the most recent advances in tumor angiogenesis.
Drug Carriers
Conventional drug administration has several issues and challenges. Drugs may not be fully absorbed or targeted, some drugs produce undesirable secondary effects and cause organ damage, and others trigger inflammation and immune response. As such, drug carrier systems are being developed to help promote drug absorption, enhance targeting, and avoid or decrease negative symptoms. This book examines different drug carriers and drug carrier systems. Chapters address such topics as the use of polymers in drug carrier systems, thin films, metal-organic frameworks, graphene quantum dots, and nanotechnology and microfluidics for drug delivery.
Drug Development Life Cycle
Drug authentication is generally governed by critical procedures. This book presents a comprehensive overview of drug design, highlighting the steps involved from the discovery phase to product approval. Chapters address such topics as drug development processes, pharmaceutical nanoformulations and cosmeceuticals for topical use, ocular drug delivery systems, and drug development involving computer-aided drug design, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
Pharmacovigilance - Volume 2
This book discusses various topics in pharmacovigilance. The first section addresses such topics as approaches to minimize adverse drug reactions, different stakeholders and their importance in pharmaceutical policy development, changing needs for pharmacovigilance in the African region, machine learning applications in pharmacovigilance, and pharmacovigilance of biological drugs. The second section discusses signal detection, which is a promising approach that helps in the early identification of new, rare drug reactions (desired or undesired).
Liposomes - Recent Advances, New Perspectives and Applications
The role of nanoscale drug carriers for the effective and controlled delivery of drugs and candidate antigens is instrumental in developing therapeutic and vaccine interventions for cancers, infectious diseases and beyond. As teachers of immunobiology, we think this information will contribute to the development of interventional approaches. This book, therefore, will be a valuable addition to existing knowledge in many medical schools and undergraduate courses, providing up-to-date information on drugs and their delivery for maximum therapeutic effect and vaccination potential against infectious diseases, cancers and more. Novel drugs are described, with an assessment of their effective delivery and of drug resistance, especially against cancers. The book is a timely addition to the existing literature on lipid-based nanoparticles and will be a useful resource for students, researchers, and those working in the field of drugs, drug delivery, and drug resistance in infectious and inflammatory diseases.

Destiny Fulfilled
This biography was written at the request of Darrington Louis Eugene Lovelace two days before his death. Not only was it a humbling experience, but also a great honor and privilege to write about someone so young and full of probity, courage, and most of all, infinite love. Like anyone else, he wanted to live a long life, but because of his illness, he realized that his life was rapidly slipping away, somewhat like sand flowing through an hourglass. Darrington was very passionate about all of his interests and he wanted others to feel that same zeal. He loved to sing, dance, act and sew and even more, he yearned for higher education. He loved life and he used every opportunity to absorb every minute of it. Not one breath of his life was wasted. Not only have many people been deeply touched but even more, have actually benefitted from his life. For those who didn't have the pleasure of meeting Darrington he wanted his life story to be readily available for them to read and learn of his very extraordinary and awesome legacy. Obviously he felt that there was a lot more that he wanted to accomplish on this side of heaven but he resolved that God knew what was best for his life. "This beautiful book is unlike any other personal account of living with cancer disease that I have ever read. An invaluable, compassionate, and spiritual harvest of redemptive insights that will both excite and challenge the reader. This is a remarkable book, not only written skillfully but with a rare mix of loving attention, spiritual and practical wisdom, and a deep sense that we are all taking the journey to our next life together. I stand in awe of Gladys' honesty, determination, courage, and the majesty of her loving, not just of her nephew Darrington, but of life, and of hard-won integrity. I also stand in awe of her gentle voice as both writer and Social Worker to the dying. This affirming message of hope and healing is a MUST read, ... a gem to be treasured."

Mary Seacole
Mary Seacole: The Making of the Myth is the first book to challenge the popular misconceptions that surround Mary Seacole's iconic status as a "pioneer nurse" and battlefield heroine, intended, by some, to replace Florence Nightingale in those roles. McDonald masterfully disentangles reality from the myths, both those that exaggerate Seacole's work and ignore or denigrate Nightingale's. Drawing on the considerable primary sources available on both women, including letters and journal notes by officers, medical doctors and other observers during the Crimean War, as well as Seacole's own memoir, McDonald debunks claims that Seacole was the real heroine of the Crimean War and a pioneer of healthcare. Her book supports the recognition of Seacole for her life and work, but not as the decorated battlefield heroine as she is typically portrayed today.

A Comparative study to Assess the Effectiveness of Acupressure Vs Reflexology on Lactation among Immediate Postnatal Mothers in Selected Hospitals
God created women with an innate ability to feed her neonate with breast milk which is naturally healthy, economical, convenient and important for proper development. Breast milk is best for the neonate. Mother is the greatest gift from God to the world. Every woman should be respected and supported. Child birth creates an immense joy in the whole family. It is a joy and expectation of the entire family1, 2, 3 Mother is a person who can completely fulfill the needs of the new born baby in the early neonatal period by feeding her neonate with breast milk.4 The postpartum period involves the mother passing through many changes emotionally and physically.5The word lactation is derived from a Latin word lactan which means sucking. The word which is used to refer to the action of lactating comes from the word lactate which means to produce and to supply breast milk to feed the baby. Lactation is under the control of numerous endocrine glands particularly the pituitary hormones prolactin and oxytocin.6 Lactation is influenced by the sucking process and by maternal emotions. Milk production is influenced by the maternal well being. Child birth and breast feeding are unique experience in the life of each woman. Human milk is remarkable and renewable resource. It cannot be duplicated. Human milk has no substitute and the breast is the natural apparatus for feeding the baby.7 Breast milk is not only the best, but also must for the wellbeing of the babies. Lack of feeding especially exclusive breast feeding during the first few days of baby's life is important.

Non-Coding RNA Transcripts in Cancer Therapy: Pre-Clinical and Clinical Implications
'Non-coding RNA Transcripts in Cancer Therapy: Pre-clinical and Clinical Implications' provides a new insight towards role of non-coding RNAs molecules including microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs and circular RNAs in cancer. The reason of focusing on cancer is that this malignant disease is responsible for high death around the world and after cardiovascular diseases, it is a leading cause of death. In the current book, the basic information and knowledge about ncRNAs, their biogenesis and their biological functions are covered. It is shown that ncRNAs can regulate expression level of genes at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels and therefore, ncRNAs are master and key players in molecular pathways. Then, the impact of regulation of molecular pathways by ncRNAs on important molecular mechanisms such as proliferation, metastasis, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, apoptosis and autophagy are described. All of these aspects are integrated in cancer and for treatment of this disease. In case of miRNAs, their biogenesis and biological functions in physiological conditions are described. Then, impact of miRNAs on proliferation, metastasis, therapy response (drug resistance and radio-resistance) is described. For lncRNAs and circRNAs, a same way is followed and their biogenesis and functional roles in cells are discussed. At the next step, function of lncRNAs and circRNAs in regulating proliferation, metastasis and therapy response (chemoresistance and radio-resistance) is introduced. These subjects are discussed based on pre-clinical studies and in order to make the book more comprehensive and broaden its scope, the function of exosomal ncRNAs in diagnosis and prognosis of cancer patients is described.
