Acupuncture has been one of the most significant components of the healthcare system in
East Asia for thousands of years. It has rapidly evolved as a therapeutic modality in the
modern west medicine system over the last few decades. In the United States, acupuncture
has gained much interest since President Nixon’s trip to China in 1972. A nationwide survey
in 1998 showed that office visits seeking alternative therapies are twice as many as those for
primary care and there are estimated five million visits to acupuncture practices alone. Acu‐
puncture...

The latest diagnostic and therapeutic modalities in the management of coronary artery dis‐
ease by coronary artery bypass graft surgery and by percutaneous coronary intervention
with stenting and in the interventional management of other atherosclerotic vascular disease
have led to a reduction in cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. This book entitled Artery
Bypass provides an excellent update on these advances which every physician seeing pa‐
tients with atherosclerotic vascular disease should be familiar with. This book includes 27
chapters written by experts in their topics....

Atrial fibrillation is a rapidly evolving epidemic associated with increased cardiovascular
morbidity and mortality, and its prevalence has increased during the past few decades. In
the past few years, the recent understanding of the diverse mechanisms of this arrhythmia
has led to the improvement of our therapeutic strategies. However, many clinicians have
still felt the frustration in management of this commonly encountered arrhythmia.

In the 16th century, Leonardo da Vinci had described “The narrowing of the passage of
blood vessels, thickening of the coats of these vessels and hardening of arteries”. This is the
first documentation of atherosclerosis, but today our understanding of atherogenesis as a
process of a chronic inflammatory disease has been updated by many mechanisms such as
hypercholesterolemia, dysfunction of endothelial cells, oxidation of lipoproteins and espe‐
cially oxidative stress. In particular, the endothelium is responsible for the...

Endoscopy is a fast moving field, and new techniques are constantly emerging. Gastrointestinal
endoscopy has a central role in the evaluation of gastrointestinal complaints and in the diagnosis
and management of gastrointestinal diseases. It is a very safe procedure in the general population
as demonstrated by numerous studies. Several data provide a better understanding of pathogenic
mechanisms. In recent decades, gastrointestinal endoscopy has evolved and branched out from a
visual diagnostic modality to impressive interventional capabilities. Some new endoscopic techni‐
ques will be too complex or expensive to make the leap into general gastroenterology practice,
others...

Populations on dialysis are showing a rapid worldwide increase. In developed countries,
remarkable increases in elderly patients and those with diabetes have been noted. In devel‐
oping countries, changes in life style and economic development have made hemodialysis
(HD) therapy available to many more patients. In this special issue, reviews of various as‐
pects of HD therapy were submitted from both groups. In particular, various methods for
vascular access were discussed by many contributors. From these reviews, the reader will
gain precious...

Everyday, millions of medical images are produced worldwide, to aid diagnosis and treat‐
ment of patients. A typical patient’s diagnostic work-up is often incomplete without a medi‐
cal imaging technique. The various techniques for achieving this have continued to evolve,
from the basics through the sophisticated and now to the abstract. The concept of Medical
imaging has therefore continued to widen, from the conventional like X-rays, ultrasound,
CT, PET CT, MRI and nuclear Scintigraphy, to include various other recording and meas‐
urement techniques which may be documented by mapping or...

Anxiety and panic disorders have now reached the size of a pandemic: a third of the
western world and a substantial part of that global world that is facing to the modern
(western) world suffer of pathological anxiety more or less seriously. According to
NIMH data, onset of anxiety disorders is the earliest of all mental disorders (11 yrs age),
and the 12-months prevalence in USA is 18.1% of adult population (of them, about 23%
is graded serious or very...

The pace of research on Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) can only be described as extraor‐
dinary as this volume shows. It is extremely difficult for any single professional to keep
abreast of all the developments in this area. This volume gathers together leading research‐
ers and expert clinicians from many different parts of the world to produce this up-to-the-
minute volume. It gives an in depth view of many areas of research which may be
unfamiliar...

This book has brought the experts in the field of the arthroscopy who have written the chap‐
ters concerning various regions vizTemporomandibular joint, Shoulder, Wrist, Lumbar
Spine, Knee, Ankle, and the Subtalar Joint. The focus has been on delivering key surgical
points that will help ensure that learning is seamless. There is vast literature on knee arthro‐
scopy but the information on arthroscopic procedures of other region and I hope that this
book will in the lacunae....

Machiavelli once stated, and one ought to consider that there is nothing more difficult to
pull off, more chancy to succeed in, or more dangerous to manage, than the introduction of
a new order of things. It was similar experience that the founding fathers of arthrosocopy
faced when they started this unique way of treating the musculoskeletal conditions.

Sarcoidosis is one of the best-known systemic granulomatous diseases. Despite intensive
investigation, however, the etiology of sarcoidosis has remained unresolved for more than 100
years [1]. Sarcoidosis seems to result from the exposure of a genetically susceptible subject to
an environmental agent, and microbial etiologies of sarcoidosis have long been considered
based on the clinical similarities to infectious granulomatous diseases [2]. Several epidemio‐
logic mechanisms may underlie the association of an infective agent or agents with the etiology
of sarcoidosis, including spatial, seasonal, and occupational clustering [3]. The results of the
ACCESS (A Case Control Etiologic Study of Sarcoidosis) study support an association between
selected microbially-rich environments and...

This book spans a variety of approaches to address the complex problem of Alzheimer´s
disease - what is the cause, is there a single pathogenetic pathways or are there many of
them, how can we address the whole clinical spectrum of the disease, how can the disease
be diagnosed early and reliable and which perspectives we have for prevention and treat‐
ment. The collection covers actual topics of interest for basic researcher, clinicians, epidemi‐
ologists and provides insight...

The mortality from ischemic heart disease has decreased in recent years. The better under‐
standing of risk factors associated with development of coronary artery disease (CAD) has
significantly contributed to this decline. Preventive measures such as aggressive therapy of
arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and lipid disorders and by campaigning against the
smoking are important components of this medical success. Furthermore, improvements in
medical and interventional therapy have reduced the complications associated with acute
myocardial infarction as well as revascularization....

This book is about how learning makes a difference to people’s lives, as indi-
viduals and as members of their community. It is more than likely that anyone
picking up the book – you, the reader – will be broadly predisposed to believe
that learning does indeed bring benefits; we do not on the whole devote time to
reading about things in which we have no belief. Whether as students (and
former students), teachers or some other form of educational professional, or
simply as members of a society where learning is increasingly emphasised as the
sine qua non of personal or collective achievement, most people have a...

This book examines the intersection of WTO trade liberalisation rules and
domestic health protection, a subject that is of considerable interest to
those concerned that the WTO impinges on national regulatory auto-
nomy. In analysing the tension between health protection and trade liber-
alisation, the book focuses on the way in which this tension is (or is not)
resolved through the dispute resolution process. It offers a detailed analy-
sis of the relevant WTO rules and case law, identifying particular concerns
relating to the ability of WTO Members to take protective action in
circumstances of scientific uncertainty and the role of social and cultural
factors in the making...

For many years the United States was virtually the only major industrial-
ized country without a family and medical leave policy. Employers could
legally fire a worker who needed time off to care for a seriously ill child,
parent, or spouse. Employers had wide latitude to fire workers tempo-
rarily unable to work because of illnesses or injuries. Employers could
legally fire women who needed time off for pregnancy and childbirth if
they also denied time off to nonpregnant employees who were unable
to work. And, although some employers provided parental leave after
the birth of a new child, this discretionary leave...

Some might say that those who died are the lucky ones, while the
survivors have to make sense of changed worlds: worlds with missing
friends and relatives; worlds with too little food, warmth, and education;
worlds that are suddenly unsafe; worlds in which the externals may not
have changed but the individual’s interpretation of the world is funda-
mentally different.

We wish to express our appreciation to a number of individuals and entities
for providing us with the support and resources that were needed to complete
this volume. In particular, Richard Lariviere, former Dean of the College of Lib-
eral Arts at the University of Texas at Austin, provided the initial funding and
support for the conference that stimulated this volume; we gratefully acknowl-
edge his enthusiastic support. Jenny Trinitapoli, now an assistant professor of
sociology at the Pennsylvania State University, and Mary De La Garza of the Pop-
ulation Research Center at the University of Texas at Austin were instrumental
in helping...

In recent years, there has been growing interest in emotion regulation
processes within different areas of psychology. This interest has been sparked
both by the development of new theoretical models of emotion regulation
processes and by the growing realization that poor or inappropriate regula-
tion of emotions often constitutes a core component of common individual
and interpersonal problems. Indeed, the ability to effectively control and
manage emotions during social interactions—especially interpersonally caus-
tic negative emotions—may assume a pivotal role in keeping individuals and
their significant relationships happy and functioning well. New theoretical
approaches to understanding emotion regulation (e.g., chaps. 2 and 3, this
volume) and new process models outlining exactly...

P ain is an inevitable part of the human experience. We are born frail
and vulnerable, and maturation does little to change our condition. Re-
gardless of age, we have practically no natural protection from attacks by
predators or even from the environment in harsh weather conditions.
What keeps us safe is our intelligence and the ability to come up with
methods to protect our soft skin, easily broken bones, and vulnerable vi-
tal organs. In fact, we humans live in mortal fear of even the slightest
wound, and we have devised elaborate mechanisms to protect ourselves.
Ironically, our intelligence is also the reason we suffer; our highly...

This book has been in the planning stage for a consider-
able period of time. Each of us has been involved in the
care of patients with Parkinson’s disease for many years,
and we have become keenly aware of the need for a book
that will help patients and their families develop a fuller
understanding of what living with Parkinson’s is like.
When people first learn of the diagnosis of Parkinson’s
disease, they generally know very little about this illness.
Understandably, a myriad of questions arise. Many pa-
tients and families become alarmed as they translate
their limited experience and knowledge to themselves.
The fact is that the effect of Parkinson’s...

This book began as a study of Japanese public policy, more specifically
the legal, ethical, and political dimensions of health policy debates in
Japan. Having studied medico-legal conflicts in the United States,
and the tensions they generated between public health and individual
rights, state power and personal privacy, medical paternalism and
patients’ rights, I decided to examine how such concerns were
addressed in Japan with regard to AIDS policy and the definition of
death.Would HIV lead to policies of isolation? How would the Minis-
try of Health and Welfare handle reporting requirements, access to
treatment, and anonymous testing?Would hemophiliacs infected with
HIV through the blood supply demand compensation? If so,...

This report is not the first recent National Academies’ report to focus on the
issue of family violence. It is the third and, regrettably, it may not be the last.
Family violence continues to plague society and we have not yet developed either
the practical interventions or evidence base to address this important social issue.
When Congress passed the Health Professions and Education Partnerships
Act of 1998, it issued an important challenge to government and the health
professions. The bill’s language suggested that education of health professionals
is an important first step in mitigating the problem of family violence. The Board
on Children, Youth, and Families of the...

Acknowledgments are always my favorite part of my books
because I get to thank the people who helped me.
First up is Katie Wiesel. After reading a few pages, Katie took the
initiative, and her shelter-seeking instincts found my book a home.
Without Katie, there would be no book, and the best part is that she
did not take 15 percent!

As I developed the ideas for, brought together expertise from around the world for,
and edited Global Inequalities at Work, I was fortunate to have a number of people at
my side. The book is far better for their contribution.
I decided from the start of this project that I didn’t want to just bring together “the
usual suspects.” To ensure that individuals with new and fresh ideas had an opportu-
nity to become part of this project, I cast the net wide. From the moment the net was
cast through the 2 years of work that followed in carrying out this initiative, Patricia
Carter of the...
