      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.

      Glial Mechanisms in Sleep and Circadian Biology presents a comprehensive and up-to-date discussion of the role of glial cells in numerous, often unexpected, aspects of sleep. It seamlessly links glial cell activity to the multi-system processes that affect sleep. Experts in the field discuss how glial cells influence the sleep-wake cycle, the accumulation and discharge of sleep drive, the timing of sleep and wake across the 24-hour day, and how glial cells may govern important sleep functions (e.g., brain plasticity and metabolism). This is a book that could well change scientists’ and practitioners’ traditional beliefs about the factors underlying sleep.Users will find the book's content at the forefront of one of the hottest topics in basic sleep research. Over the last decade, scientists have made breakthrough discoveries revealing that sleep is not only a product of neurons, but of neuronal-glial interactions.
