      Deciding with Children in Pediatrics: Children’s Participation in Healthcare Decision-making provides the ethical underpinning and offers practical strategies to foster meaningful participation of children in decisions affecting their healthcare. It will assist clinicians to bring forward the perspectives and values of the child, ensuring their preferences are incorporated into decision-making or appropriately justified when this is not possible. This is to both improve healthcare delivery and serve the best interests of children— now and as decision-makers in the future.This book reviews theories underpinning the concept of deciding with children and explores how pediatric decision-making is standardly managed. It then proposes a model for making healthcare decisions with children. A panel of experienced clinicians and ethicists demonstrate, via a series of case studies, how to promote children’s participation across a variety of clinical areas, child ages, and developmental stages. It concludes with a review of questions, concerns, and challenges. Deciding with Children in Pediatrics: Children’s Participation in Healthcare Decision-making helps bridge the gap between philosophy and practical clinical ethics and creates a frame of reference for children’s healthcare providers.

      Many plant-derived bioactive compounds are the foundation for drugs or effective drugs to cure diseases. Usually, the bioactive compounds in plant biomass are low, and the extraction of bioactive compounds from plants is not eco-friendly, which limits their application in drugs and other industries. While the biosynthesis of some complex bioactive compounds is possible, the scale-up and chemical process technology still needs further application in commercial production of the plant-derived bioactive compounds.Scale-up and Chemical Process for Microbial Production of Plant-Derived Bioactive Compounds: From Laboratory to Industry summarizes recent commercial microbial production strategies for plant-derived bioactive compounds. This comprehensive summary will be of great interest to scientists and researchers, as well as engineers who work on the microbial production of plant-derived bioactive compounds in the industry.

      Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography: A Clinically-Oriented Atlas introduces a wide range of clinical applications of anterior segment OCT for the diagnosis, follow up, and assessment of medical and surgical treatments and critical interventions. Though there is research on imaging the anterior segment of the eye using OCT, there have not been attempts to compile the implications of these findings into a single source. Rather, this book avoids focusing on generic descriptions of the technology, providing a unique perspective on the clinical aspects of OCT. This atlas will translate research into practice in a way that has never been achieved before.For those wishing to apply the theoretical aspects of OCT to their daily practice, this book provides a unique how-to guide that has thus far been missing from literature. While other books offer significant background on OCT, only this one will serve as a go-to reference for treatment of real patients.
