The Multitasking Molecular Chaperone Hsp60: Structure, Function, and Impact on Health and Disease provides an overview of this key component of the Chaperone System (CS). The book covers various areas of medicine in which Hsp60 chaperonopathies have been identified. Various chapters discuss the Hsp60 structure, localization, functions, and participation in disease mechanisms both genetic and acquired, focusing on humans but also presenting data obtained from pro- and eukaryotic experimental models. The main goal is to provide information accessible to all healthcare professionals in a way that can be understood by nonspecialists and that would stimulate clinical and pathological detection of Hsp60 chaperonopathies.Molecular mechanisms are briefly described with the purpose of illuminating roads toward accurate diagnosis, treatment, and patient monitoring. Consequently, the possibility of developing/applying chaperonotherapy centered on Hsp60, as a therapeutic tool or target, is analyzed in many sections of this book, across a variety of medical specialties. Over the last several years, the importance of the CS as a physiological system has been brought to prominence and its roles in health and disease made clear. The molecular chaperones, including Hsp60, are the key components of the CS that are typically cytoprotective, but they can also be etiopathogenic factors, causing diseases named chaperonopathies.

For decades, Emery and Rimoin’s Principles and Practice of Medical Genetics and Genomics has served as the ultimate resource for clinicians integrating genetics and genomics into medical practice. With detailed coverage in contributions from more than 250 of the world’s most trusted authorities in medical genetics and a series of 11 volumes available for individual sale, the Seventh Edition of this classic reference includes the latest information on seminal topics such as prenatal diagnosis, genome sequencing, public health genetics, genetic counseling, and management and treatment strategies to complete its coverage of this growing field for students, health providers, and researchers involved in the care of patients with genetic conditions, and increasingly, all areas of health and disease. This comprehensive yet practical resource emphasizes theory and research fundamentals related to the applications of medical genetics and genomics across the full spectrum of inherited disorders and applications to medicine more broadly.In this volume, leading physicians and researchers thoroughly examine medical genetics and genomics as applied to developmental disorders, as well as genetic conditions that affect hearing and vision. Here genetic researchers, students, and health professionals will find new and fully revised chapters on human developmental genetics, disorders affecting craniofacial development, chromosomal abnormalities, including aneuploidies and structural abnormalities, hereditary hearing impairment, and various genetic conditions of the eye. With regular advances in genomic technologies propelling precision medicine into the clinic, Emery and Rimoin’s Principles and Practice of Medical Genetics and Genomics, Seventh Edition bridges the gap between high-level molecular genetics and practical application and serves as an invaluable clinical tool for health professionals and researchers.

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.

Effects of Climate Change on Forests: An Evidence-Based Primer for Sustainable Management of Temperate and Mediterranean Forests presents concepts, case studies and the application of theories about forest management under climate change. It provides invaluable insight to how forest planning and management tie into the ecological functioning and resilience of the forest, and does so by utilizing a concept weakly implemented in traditional forest planning: namely, by following the variability in growth, and other processes, over time. This shift in focus better incorporates the services provided by forests, and allows for better adaptation planning to help temperate forests not only survive but thrive in the face of climate change. Real-world case studies demonstrate how to effectively manage temperate forests under climate change, using the results of evidence-based research.

The vagus nerve is one of the most important, yet most under-appreciated structures of the human body. It is the tenth cranial nerve innervating many of the visceral structures of the human body. It has been called the “wandering” nerve, given its ubiquitous and meandering course throughout the body. The major branch of the parasympathetic nervous system, it optimizes the body’s state of rest, relaxation and recovery and is necessary to optimize health. It is a counterbalance to the sympathetic nervous system, which regulates the body’s fight or flight response. Containing over 160,000 fibers, it has both afferent and efferent branches, providing information to the brain on the status of the body’s organs. The brain then sends signals back down the vagus nerve to optimize bodily functions. Vagus nerve stimulation is a new frontier in medicine, tapping into the body’s intrinsic capability to optimize an organ’s function, control systemic inflammation and modify diseases without drugs. The use of non-implanted vagus nerve stimulators has made it possible to move neuromodulation up the treatment continuum, and has facilitated access for clinical evaluation and treatment. Scientists now have the ability to translate the basic science into clinical practice without the need for surgical intervention. Vagus Nerve Stimulation serves as a compendium of current knowledge about stimulating the vagus nerve in many different disease states. Chapters include applications to neurologic conditions, psychiatric conditions, inflammatory conditions, metabolic disease, reperfusion injuries, long covid, cardiac disease and even optimizing performance in healthy individuals.
