      Until recently, little attention has been paid to the plight of persons with disabilities during extreme weather events and/or natural disasters. Little attention has also been paid to the special needs of children with disabilities growing up in a changing world and the elderly who may rely on others for their day-to-day needs. Climate Change and Disability: A Collaborative Approach to a Sustainable Future delineates the general and specific risks of climate change for persons with disabilities and how we can use accessible approaches to mitigate, adapt and control these risks, while maximizing opportunities for persons living with disabilities. The book opens with an introduction on how we got here. The next chapters cover the framework for research and policy, the physiologic impact of different disabilities, and an overview of specific continents and countries; where hot issues related to climate change exist. Education and advocacy are covered in detail, and the book wraps up with a section on action and research, detailing how to respond to extreme weather events, including how various types of disabilities are impacted by different events. Climate Change and Disability: A Collaborative Approach to a Sustainable Future serves as a guide for a broad audience at the crossroads of environmental adaptation and human health. Rehabilitation physicians as well as physical and occupational therapists will find it valuable for tailoring care for people with disabilities due to climate change. Advocates and individuals with disabilities will gain insight into advocacy for inclusive policies and personal preparedness. Physicians and social scientists interested in the health and societal impacts of climate change will find it useful in informing their practices and research. Policymakers and politicians can utilize this resource to develop equitable climate strategies, ensuring that environmental justice includes those who are most vulnerable.

      Sleep and Cancer compiles novel information on the interactions between sleep and cancer. The book highlights how prevention and treatment of sleep disturbances in clinical cancer practice helps prevent the onset of tumors and their comorbidities, both short- and long-term. It analyzes how sleep disorder treatment improves the response to antitumor therapy in the long term, presenting procedures regarding cognitive-behavioral therapy of sleep disorders that are often overlooked in the oncological field.In addition, the book suggests new therapeutic approaches in oncology that are based on the knowledge of sleep mechanisms, such as chronotherapy, use of melatonin as an adjuvant in chemo- and radiotherapy, and orexinergic drugs.

      Polyamine-Phytohormo... Network: Nexus in Plant Responses to Abiotic Stresses presents the latest global research on key tools for improving physiological and biochemical mechanisms that enhance plant health and productivity.Exposur... of plants to abiotic stresses is inevitable, often leading to impaired growth, metabolism, and productivity. However, plants are naturally equipped with endogenous chemicals including intracellular messengers and signalling molecules that counteract potential stress impacts, protect cellular functions, and promote healthy growth and production. Polyamines (PAs) are low-molecular-weight... nitrogen-containing compounds with aliphatic polycationic properties. Beyond their role in growth and development, PAs enhance plant tolerance to abiotic stresses. Given their connection with phytohormones and mineral nutrients, understanding their interactions—whether synergistic or antagonistic—could shed light on their potential to mitigate these stresses.Written by a team of expert contributors, this volume in the Plant Biology, Sustainability, and Climate Change series focuses on the interactions among PAs, phytohormones, and mineral nutrients that are crucial for regulating nutrient assimilation, carbon fixation, and secondary metabolic pathways.
