EAR, NOSE AND THROAT REGENERATION OF SALIVARY GLANDS

GENERAL MEDICINE STALIN AND MEDICINE: UNTOLD STORIES

edited by Guy Carpenter (King’s College London, UK)

by Natalya Rapoport (University of Utah, USA)

Regeneration of Salivary Glands examines the current state of salivary regeneration by understanding the normal processes of development, function and tissue repair. It also explores the experimental and clinical approaches to stem cell therapy, mostly for irradiation induced salivary gland damage.

The manuscript treats the relationship between the totalitarian regime and science in a series of stories that describe the lives and times of outstanding medical scientists who represented the top of the Soviet intellectual elite of the 20th century.

Irradiation of head and neck cancers often involves the inclusion of salivary glands as it is difficult to focus the beams accurately enough. As a result, irritation of oral tissues and loss of saliva often lead to mucositis, which is the leading cause for patients not completing their treatments. Based on basic research that has shown stem cells develop into salivary glands, the regeneration process recapitulates aspects of this stem cell differentiation. This process involves several signaling pathways, but the Wnt pathway is of special interest as already shown in gut epithelial turnover and salivary gland stem cell differentiation. 350pp 978-981-3143-43-2

LONGEVITY IN THE 2.0 WORLD

Would Centenarians Become Commonplace?

by Jean-Pierre Fillard (University of Montpellier II, France)

GASTROENTEROLOGY

With the rising 21st century, flurries of new knowledge and technological opportunities have already merged.

A BASIC APPROACH TO LONGITUDINAL ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASOUND

by Lianyong Li (Digestive Disease Centre, PLA 306 Hospital, Beijing, China), Ruilian Shang (General Hospital of Jinan Military Region, China), Changmin Qu (Digestive Disease Centre, PLA 306 Hospital, Beijing, China) & Qiang Cai (Emory University School of Medicine, USA) Longitudinal endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is now widely accepted as a powerful tool for the exploration of organs outside of the gastrointestinal lumen. The first step in the learning of longitudinal EUS is the first understanding the human anatomic structure on ultrasound. This book provides both the beginner and the middle level endosonographists with a comprehensive guide to anatomic structures in the upper abdomen in longitudinal EUS. Through the use of numerous colour images and supplemented with online video clips, this book will be a great help in mastering longitudinal EUS. 128pp 978-981-3207-67-7

LIVER TRANSPLANTATION

edited by Abhinav Humar, Amit Tevar & Christopher Hughes (University of Pittsburgh, USA) The field of liver transplantation has undergone tremendous change and continues to evolve at a fast pace. This book covers topics beyond standard care and discusses issues that are new and rapidly evolving in the field. These include innovative surgical methods to maximize the donor pool, non-surgical methods to expand the existing pool of additional donors, the changing face of liver rejection, and management of infections in the presence of new antivirals. This book is an interesting read for surgeons, hepatologists, and healthcare workers looking after patients who need or have had a liver transplant. May 2018 US$148

Longevity has recently become a major concern in our current societies. This has long been, in no way, a new issue as life expectancy was known to rise noticeably for a long time with improving life conditions, but the present breakthroughs in science and technology of the world 2.0 have led to deep changes in our way of life so that new prospects have surged. Now the leading key words are rejuvenation, juvenescence, ageing reversal or, bluntly, transformed, repaired, improved man. The last part of the book will, tentatively, suggest the consequences and the foreseeable issues such a breakthrough that could afford us in a close future to come. A question has arisen now: would this 100 years wall come down in a foreseeable future, thus opening up the way for a larger part of us to become seamlessly centenarians, instead of some individuals exceptionally favored by Nature, thus far. A kind of centenarian democratization! 280pp 978-981-120-116-5

THE FUTURE OF HOMO

by Michel Odent (Primal Health Research Centre, UK) The book offers an antithesis to countless published documents about “natural childbirth”. It is challenging the dominant ways of thinking through radically new ways of interpreting the physiological processes.

State of the Art

392pp 978-981-3234-67-3

This book is in no way a medical textbook; it only aims at providing a wide in-depth thinking about the growing life expectancy in the current digital age.

£130

More than ever, Michel Odent is pushing the explorers of the future to consider the probable transformations of Homo as a central and necessary issue. The matter is enlarged with considerations about long-term thinking, the “future of futurology” and “the evolution of evolutionary thinking”. The endpoint of the book is related to the limits of the domination of nature: how can childbirth be desocialised? 200pp 978-981-120-680-1 978-981-120-754-9(pbk)

GLOBALISATION OF VARIOLATION

The Overlooked Origins of Immunity for Smallpox in the 18th Century

by Alicia Grant (Royal Society of Medicine, UK) “Dr Alicia Grant brings new evidence to bear and traces the changing techniques of variolation in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries as they were diffused across Eurasia and North America. Her book is the only thorough modern study known to me. It places the subject on a new footing and deserves a wide readership.” Professor Peregrine Horden Royal Holloway, University of London Devastating epidemics of untreatable smallpox caused not only deaths but dire disfigurements of face and body as well as one third of all blindness. In the 20th century mortality was estimated at 300 million up to 1978, the year it was proclaimed to be eradicated. Historically, the fact has been overlooked, often forgotten, that the preventative practice of variolation for smallpox was widely adopted internationally during the 18th century and was the precursor to refinement as cowpox vaccination. Never previously traced was the extensive global adoption of the technique or the impetus for this transmission and how, in these countries of its adoption, variolation was the prime mover for a national concept of public health with the establishment of free institutions. The global adoption of the first invasive medical prophylaxis for any disease, the origin of immunity, deserves its place in history. 376pp 978-1-78634-584-4

by Don C Reed (American for Cures Foundation, USA)

In a series of connected stories, accurate though written to entertain, “California Cures” relates a war: science against disease, with lives on the line. Think what it means for a paralyzed young man to recover the use of his hands, or for a formerly-blind mother to see her teenaged children — for the first time! Do you know the “bubble-baby” syndrome? Infants without a proper immune system typically die young; a common cold can kill. But for eighteen babies in a stem cell clinical trial, a different future: they were cured of their disease. No one can predict the pace of science, nor say when cures will come; but California is bringing the fight. The reader will meet the scientists involved, the women and men behind the microscope, and share their struggle. Will California build on success — and invest $5 billion more in stem cell research?

GENOMIC URACIL

Evolution, Biology, Immunology and Disease

edited by Geir Slupphaug & Hans Einar Krokan (Norweigan University of Science and Technology, Norway) This book describes genomic uracil in evolution, as a DNA constituent in adaptive and innate immune responses and as a mutagenic lesion causing cancer. Genomic uracil is as old as life and may have been a component in selfreplicating molecules in the prebiotic era. The first living cells probably contained uracil in DNA, later to be replaced by thymine. The aim of the book is to contribute a reference text for graduate students, molecular biologists, immunologists and cancer biologists. 304pp 978-981-3233-49-2

IMMUNOLOGY MOLECULAR IMMUNITY

A Chronology of 60 Years of Discovery

by Kendall A Smith (Cornell University, USA)

REMOTE MEDICINE

A Textbook for Trainee and Established Remote Healthcare Practitioners edited by Gamini Gunawardane (California State University at Fullerton, USA & California State University at Los Angeles, USA)

This is the first major textbook on the emerging specialty of remote healthcare. This started in the 1970s when the medical directors of the main oil companies then involved — BP, Shell and Mobil — sought help from the University sector. Together with Aberdeen University they developed a system of healthcare for the industry which brought down the mortality and morbidity levels to reduced levels. The system worked well and was validated by duplication for the different scientific populations of the British Antarctic Survey. Subsequently it was translated to the oilfields of the Middle East — Qatar (Offshore and Onshore), Abu Dhabi (ADMA and ADCO) and Oman (PDO) where its success was repeated.

Modern Health Care Marketing is an essential read to understand the integrated nature of health care marketing in the technologically driven, customer/patient-focused and globalized environment. It is also a useful reference for professionals to pick up best practices on addressing challenges faced in the modern health care industry.

INFLAMMATION

The Experience of Twelve Small amd Medium-sized Nations with Changing Their Healthcare Systems

Fundamentals and Mechanisms

This book presents the health reform experiences over the past three decades of twelve small and medium-sized nations that are not often included in international comparative studies in this field. The major conclusion of the study is that despite many similarities in policy goals, policy challenges and in the menu of policy options for countries that seek to offer universal coverage to their population, the health reforms of the nations in this book did not converge into one direction or model. However, we found several widespread policy experiences that are relevant for others, too.

Inflammation is important in many diseases, yet it is hard to find current information on the pertinent cellular and molecular mechanisms of inflammation. This book is a current and authoritative review of various aspects of inflammation in mammalian organisms. Basic principles, including regulation by cytokines, lipid mediators, reactive oxygen species and leukocyte recruitment are followed by chapters on integrative aspects of inflammation, such as neutrophil extracellular traps, sepsis and granulomatous inflammation.

FIGHTING THE OCD MONSTER

A Cognitive Behaviour Therpary Workbook for Treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in Children and Adolescents edited by Haanusia Prithivi Raj (Institute of Mental Health, Singapore)

This book challenges the validity of all traditional theories of psychopathology, particularly with regard to schizophrenia. It demonstrates that the accepted belief that schizophrenia is a brain disease is wrong, a result of the inability of traditional theories to provide an alternative explanation for the correlation between schizophrenia and genetic/neurological impairments.

This workbook incorporates the best and most effective Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) techniques and tips for the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) especially in children and young adults. Research indicates that CBT with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) works best in treating OCD. This workbook describes a CBT programme for children and young adolescents (of ages 7 to 18) who have OCD. It is best suited for those who have been diagnosed with OCD, and are intending to commence treatment with a CBT Therapist. While OCD can be a daunting and debilitating condition, help is available and a life without OCD is possible. This book was designed to be a one-stop book for families, patients and therapists battling OCD monsters.

NEUROLOGY DEVELOPMENTAL EPILEPSY

From Clinical Medicine to Neurobiological Mechanisms

edited by Carl E Stafstrom (The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, USA) & Libor Velíšek (New York Medical College, USA) This is a collection of chapters from renowned authors focused on the contemporary issues in developmental epilepsy, from both clinical and basic science perspectives. Developmental epilepsy (or epilepsy syndromes), while receiving much more attention than 20 years ago, is still not well understood. This lag in research is reflected in the challenges of treating developmental epilepsy. The book discusses these challenges in the clinic and brings them back to the laboratory bench (and in some cases back to the bedside). This book fills a gap in the literature on developing epilepsy by bridging current clinical knowledge with basic and translational research in the developing brain relevant for developmental epilepsy. The book is introduced by a chapter on brain development to provide a background for understanding when and how seizures and epilepsy can emerge. Recent clinical research indicates strong relationship between childhood epilepsy and developmental cognitive impairment. This connection can be studied in experimental animals and can uncover developmental mechanisms common to both conditions. Targeting those mechanisms might reveal disease-modifying treatments. 436pp 978-981-3277-72-4

It includes not only high-resolution cerebrovascular images but also topographic brain maps. The topographic brain maps will provide (a) "recently-updated" knowledge on cerebrovascular territories, which are of key clinical importance in patients with stroke; ( b) age-specific WMH maps that allows a "tailored patientspecific" interpretation in stroke- and vascular dementia-related clinical practice; and (c) easy-to-use "reference maps" that allow prompt and reliable visual estimation of cerebral infarct volumes. This pocket book will serve as the best format for these image datasets to be looked up and referenced by the vast majority of readers. Apart from being a handy reference for neurovascular or neuroscience researchers, this book can also be used as a supplementary text book in medical schools. 160pp 978-981-120-936-9 978-981-121-144-7(pbk)

There are even fewer, if any, books that deal with the topics of Integrative Oncology and the use of traditional Chinese medicine as a whole in the treatment of people with cancer. While very broad and deep topics, this makes for a varied audience of interest that includes not just the TCM practitioner or student, but Western health practitioners and patients as well as laypeople interested in the topic of oncology. For those interested in the topic of IO, it gives one of the few non-biased, honest and critical views of the state of IO in contrast to what is promoted by various institutions and societies. 300pp 978-981-120-402-9

THE ATLAS OF ANKLE REPLACEMENTS

The ACL or anterior cruciate ligament is the most important ligament in the knee. When it is completely torn, it can lead to instability or buckling of the knee. There are several options to choose from when selecting a graft for ACL reconstruction such as using autografts including patellar tendon, hamstring tendon, and quadriceps tendon, and allografts (also known as donor tissue or cadaver tissue). Artificial ligaments are also discussed since they are still used in Europe and Asia. This book summarizes the pros and cons of each graft option in detail.

This book is a fascinating overview of one of the first pharmacogenetic traits to be identified as responsible for genetic variation in response to drugs — the understanding of the arylamine N-acetyltransferases (NATs) is linked to many important therapeutic areas, particularly tuberculosis and also cancer. NATs have been important in the metabolism of established anti-tubercular drugs and also in carcinogenesis and susceptibility to bladder cancer. The reach of these enzymes spans pharmacology and therapeutics as well as toxicology and pharmacogenetics. The NAT genes are encoded in a highly polymorphic region of the human genome which has been explored for fine mapping in molecular anthropological studies. 456pp 978-981-3232-00-6

A HISTORY OF MEDICINE IN CHINESE CULTURE (In 2 Volumes)

THE LUNG

Developmental Morphogenesis, Mechanobiology, and Stem Cells

by Ahmed El-Hashash (The Zhejiang University – University of Edinburgh Institute, China) & Eiman Abdel Meguid (Queen’s University, Belfast, UK) With detailed scientific background and upto-date research, this book examines recent developmental and cell biology, mechanobiology and stem cell biology discoveries to help provide a better understanding of lung development, repair and regeneration.

by Boying Ma (Federation of Traditional Chinese Medicine, UK) This book set covers the last 3000 years of Chinese Medicine, as a broadly flowing river, from its source to its mouth. It takes the story from the very beginnings in proto-scientific China to the modern age, with a wealth of historical and cultural detail. It is unique in presenting many anecdotes, sayings, and excerpts from the traditional classics.

Lung regeneration is an urgent therapeutic priority. The current major challenge is the generation of complex vascularized structures that can ultimately support or replace impaired lung function. Recent discoveries in biomedical engineering are analysed within the structural context of the lung to help provide a better understanding of the innovative solutions that could be used for restoring normal morphogenesis and regeneration of the lung. This also includes insights from basic developmental mechanisms of human lung development through the derivation and identification of stem cells, both from the early embryo as well as from differentiated organs and tissues.

The content is organized into four parts. Part one focuses on the medical activities in Chinese primitive society and the characteristic features of the witchcraft stage of medicine. Part two traces the progress of Chinese medicine as it entered the stage of natural philosophy. It also discusses how other aspects of philosophy, religion, and politics influenced Chinese medical theory and practice at the time. Chinese medicine, having a kind of social existence, was also impacted by the natural and social environment, and multiple cultural factors. Some of these factors are discussed in Part three. The last part concludes by examining the cultural process of Chinese medicine in history and offers a glimpse into the future of Chinese Medicine.

RISK AND THE POLITICS OF PUBLIC HEALTH

A Critical View

by Matthias Beck (Queen’s University, UK)

NOBEL PRIZES

Cancer, Vision and the Genetic Code by Erling Norrby (The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Sweden)

The present book discusses the prizes in physiology or medicine 1966-68. The 1966 prize recognized that viruses may be involved in cancer formation. Later studies revealed that these kinds of infectious agents could pick up and transmit cellular genes of importance for regulation of cellular growth. It was then possible to recognize that many genes of this kind could be involved in the formation of cancer. The disease was found to represent the dark side of evolution. As a consequence of this insight new means of treatment fortunately have been developed. 400pp 978-981-120-085-4 978-981-120-086-1(pbk)

Notions of risk identification, assessment and mitigation have guided political and institutional actions even before these concepts became an explicit part of the language of public administration and policy making. Past analyses investigating the link between risk perceptions and public health are relatively rare, and where researchers have investigated this nexus, it has typically been assumed that the collective identification of health risks has led to progressive improvements in public health activities. Risk and the Politics of Public Health is an essential reference for those who seek to understand the interplay of concepts of risk and public health throughout history as well as those who wish to gain a critical understanding of the social dynamics which have underpinned, and continue to underpin, this complex interaction. 206pp 978-981-4689-56-2

FINANCING THE EDUCATION OF HEALTH WORKERS

by Alexander S Preker (Columbia University, USA & The Iclan School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, USA & Health Investment & Financing Corporation, USA), Hortenzia Beciu (Johns Hopkins Medicine International, USA) & Eric L Keuffel (Health Finance and Access Initiative, USA) This volume reviews the economic underpinnings (investment and financing) and institutional reforms needed to successfully scale up the education of health workers. In this regard, the book examines five major economic and institutional challenges that policy makers face: (1) governance of health education organizations and systems; (2) approaches to financing the education of health workers; (3) the special nature of capital investment in expanding the capacity of health education institutions; (4) public-private partnerships in health education; and (5) equity in accessing health education, with a special focus on issues that arise from private approaches to the education of health workers. 600pp 978-981-3278-74-5
