      Diagnostic, Prognostic and Therapeutic Role of MicroRNAs in Head and Neck Cancer provides detailed information on various miRNA-based approaches for the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of HNSCC. The book encompasses various miRNA-based point-of-care diagnostics and drug delivery systems for HNSCC, along with information on clinical trials for improved clinical outcomes in HNSCC patients. In addition, it provides a comprehensive overview of currently available miRNAs associated with HNSCC and their extensive application for early diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. Scientists and clinicians looking to win the battle against HNSCC will benefit from the book's sections on early diagnosis to improve treatment, increase treatment response rates, and reduce mortality rates. Recently, miRNA-based diagnostics and therapeutics have gained considerable attention among the scientific community. MiRNAs are known to have great potential as biomarkers for early diagnosis, prediction, and prognosis of HNSCC, and play a role in development of targeted gene therapy.

    • The Science and Art of Sensory Processing Sensitivity

      The Science and Art of Sensory Processing Sensitivity provides an up-to-date and novel scientific perspective on the biologically based Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS) trait— which is associated with enhanced awareness, depth of cognitive processing, and heightened responsivity to the environment and other individuals. This second volume by B.P. Acevedo, following “The Highly Sensitive Brain,” takes a scientific perspective on its exploration of SPS, but adds to the existing body of literature on high sensitivity by including an enhanced discussion on the proposed mechanisms linking it with depression, anxiety, and burnout.In addition, this second volume explores SPS’ relationship to other relevant personality traits, such as the Big Five, creativity, and sensation seeking; and sheds light on how their varying combinations give rise to different outcomes for highly sensitive persons (HSPs). A unique contribution of this volume is its detailed examination of the role of culture, gender, biology, aging, and the environment (including the workplace) on the expression (or repression) of high sensitivity.Also, unlike previous books, this volume takes a broad perspective on outcomes related to being highly sensitive to shine a light on the non-trivial issue plaguing many HSPs: diminished quality of life, happiness, and well-being. As such, a major contribution of the second volume on the science of SPS, is its extensive description of scientifically-based techniques that might improve the quality of life for those with high SPS.Thus, this volume may appeal to a wide audience, including both HSPs and those in their social network (friends, partners, physicians, parents, educators, and clinicians) who wish to better understand SPS, those with the trait, and how to enhance well-being among the highly sensitive.

      Redox Signaling in Wound Healing in Elderly Populations: Theoretical Basis, Part 1 deals with wounds in different types and locations (diabetic, ischemic, post-operational) in subcellular and macro dimensions, examine their relationship with aging aim to target deteriorating redox signaling cascades, and will also focus on promising therapeutic approaches. Understanding the indication for the use of new therapeutics targeting the illuminated pathways in wound healing will help adjust treatment regimens befitting modern medicine. Ineffective redox adaptation and disseminated oxidative injury are the hallmarks of continuing oxidative stress. However, oxidative stress cannot be simply described as the imbalance between ROS formation and antioxidant defense capacity; it also covers impairment in redox sensing and signaling pathways. The term oxidative stress is an expression that is losing its use in modern redox biology. It is now an accepted fact that ROS cannot be described as an apparent enemy or friend. Its optimum level modulates signal transduction and stress responses by acting as a second messenger for redox-sensitive cascades. Redox-dependent second messengers are generated in subcellular locations according to specific rules and regulations. Their appearance depends on cellular needs in response to external and internal stimuli variations. A good understanding of the wound healing cascades, which deteriorate especially in advancing ages, is critical in developing the most appropriate approach. To understand the redox signaling mechanisms and healing cascades in wound healing, to pioneer new pharmacoactive drugs that can be developed based on these mechanisms, to reveal the deteriorating dynamics in the elderly patient group, and to propose new treatment methods suitable for the advanced age group.
