      Contemporary philosophy of medicine is certainly a growing discipline in the 21st century, with a substantial literature. But the discipline has no overarching paradigm, which reflects consensus within it. Rather, contemporary philosophy of medicine is diverse with various approaches not only to the problems facing contemporary medicine, but also how best to address and potentially to resolve them. Introduction to Contemporary Philosophy of Medicine explores various approaches based on a particular type of medicine and its practice. Specifically, philosophical approaches to the nature of medicine range from Analytic Philosophy of Medicine, to Feminist and Gender Medicine, while approaches to medical practice range from Evidence-Based Medicine to Integrative Medicine. Digital, Complementary and Alternative Medicines are also discussed. These diverse approaches to medicine and its practice are informed by different ontological and epistemological concepts, such as causation, disease and health, which are introduced and discussed in detail in the book, a key guide for student and other healthcare professionals interested in philosophical issues in contemporary medicine.

      Clinical research is the tip of the spear for innovation and central in the development of improving safety and efficacy for patient centric care. Unfortunately, clinical research in academic practices is bogged down by inefficiency and infrequent regulatory oversight, thus leaving physicians unable to meet the clinical and research needs for driving innovation. Private practice is a valid practice cohort that can effectively, reliably, and reproducibly perform study related activities, for both FDA and non-FDA regulated studies, both industry-sponsored or investigator-initiat... Research in Private Practice fills a gap and provides a playbook for how to incorporate clinical research in a validated, safe, and compliant manner, allowing a needed meaningful contribution to the medical space, while concurrently maintaining fiduciary responsibility.

      For over fifty years, Boundary Value Problems and Partial Differential Equations, Seventh Edition has provided advanced students an accessible and practical introduction to deriving, solving, and interpreting explicit solutions involving partial differential equations with boundary and initial conditions. Fully revised and now in its Seventh Edition, this valued text aims to be comprehensive without affecting the accessibility and convenience of the original. The resource’s main tool is Fourier analysis, but the work covers other techniques, including Laplace transform, Fourier transform, numerical methods, characteristics, and separation of variables, as well, to provide well-rounded coverage. Mathematical modeling techniques are illustrated in derivations, which are widely used in engineering and science. In particular, this includes the modeling of heat distribution, a vibrating string or beam under various boundary conditions and constraints. New to this edition, the text also now uniquely discusses the beam equation. Throughout the text, examples and exercises have been included, pulled from the literature based on popular problems from engineering and science. These include some "outside-the-box" exercises at the end of each chapter, which provide challenging and thought-provoking practice that can also be used to promote classroom discussion. Chapters also include Projects, problems that synthesize or dig more deeply into the material that are slightly more involved than standard book exercises, and which are intended to support team solutions. Additional materials, exercises, animations, and more are also accessible to students via links and in-text QR codes to support practice and subject mastery.

      Neuro-ophthalmologic... Pain: Diagnosis and Treatment is written to address the many problems faced by patients with ocular pain of neurological origin. These patients are often incorrectly referred to ophthalmologists and otolaryngologists to diagnose eye problems or sinus disease, respectively. While these ailments are neurological in nature, the average time between the onset of pain and a visit to a neurologist is 13 years. By this point, most patients have received at least one wrong diagnosis. Additionally, some patients have undergone several unnecessary investigative tests, received improper, flawed treatments, and continued to suffer. "Neuro-ophthalmologi... Pain: Research and Treatment" contains information on a multitude of often-overlooked ailments in a single, comprehensive volume, for use by the neurologist as well as general practitioners looking to guide their patients toward appropriate care. It will provide potentially life-changing information for those with ocular pain with decreased vision; ocular pain with ophthalmoplegia or ophthalmoparesis; ocular pain with papilledema; and ocular pain with autonomic manifestations Neuro-ophthalmologic... Pain: Research and Treatment is a powerful tool in helping physicians establish correct diagnoses, so that they may either provide proper treatment, or refer their patients to the correct medical specialists.
