      Diagnosis and Treatment of Spinal Cord Injury will enhance readers’ understanding of the complexities of the diagnosis and management of spinal cord injuries. Featuring chapters on drug delivery, exercise, and rehabilitation, this volume discusses in detail the impact of the clinical features, diagnosis, management, and long-term prognosis of spinal cord injuries on the lives of those affected. The book has applicability for neuroscientists, neurologists, clinicians, and anyone working to better understand spinal cord injuries. Spinal injury affects about 10 million people annually worldwide, impacting on the family unit and causing lifelong disabilities, with varied symptoms including paresthesia, spasticity, loss of motor control, and often severe pain. Cellular, Molecular, Physiological, and Behavioral Aspects of Spinal Cord Injury will enhance readers’ understanding of the biological and psychological effects of spinal cord injury. Featuring chapters on gene expression, metabolic effects, and behavior, this volume discusses in detail the impact of spinal cord injury to better understand the underlying pathways and processes. The book has applicability for neuroscientists, neurologists, clinicians, and anyone working to better understand these injuries.

      Advances in Botanical Research, Volume 103 provides a timely and comprehensive update on the current knowledge of stomata development and operation in salt-grown plants. The range of topics covered includes evolution of stomata for adaptation to saline conditions, comparative analysis of proteomic, transcriptomic and metabolomic profiles of stomata guard cells between halophytes and glycophyte species and their reprogramming under salt stress, the molecular nature of the signals that control stomata aperture and their integration at the cellular and whole-plant level, and ecophysiological aspects of stomata operation in crop and halophytes species.

      Sea urchins and other echinoderms, which have been studied intensively by developmental biologists for more than a century, are currently among the most prominent models for elucidating the genomic regulatory processes that control embryogenesis and the evolution of those processes. This volume contains reviews from the world’s leading researchers who are using echinoderms to address these questions. Chapters focus on gene regulatory networks that drive the differentiation and morphogenesis of major embryonic tissues such as the skeleton, muscle, nervous system, immune system, pigment cells, and germ line, and on evolutionary insights from comparative studies of these networks across echinoderms and other taxa. Other chapters comprehensively review the architecture and evolution of the cell signaling pathways that establish the early embryonic axes and on recent evolutionary changes in gene networks that have led to dramatic changes in the life history modes of echinoderms. This volume provides a comprehensive, current picture of exciting research at the interface between developmental genomics and evolution from one of the research communities leading this work.

      Eosinophil Ultrastructure: Atlas of Eosinophil Cell Biology and Pathology entirely focuses on eosinophils and their functional roles in inflammation, host defense, and normal homeostatic activities. The book explores the ultrastructure of human eosinophils, highlighting biological processes observed under normal, experimental, and pathological conditions. Created to fill a void in the eosinophil literature, the book includes an extensive array of electron microscopic images that illustrate the diversity of eosinophil morphology. While the atlas is a learning and teaching tool, it is mainly a helpful resource for researchers to identify distinguishing features and structural changes that arise during studies of human eosinophils. The book also covers the ultrastructure of mouse eosinophils under normal and activation conditions and in the context of representative diseases.

      Les recommandations pour la prise en charge du trouble dys-exécutif s’adressent à l’enfant, afin de faciliter son éducation et sa scolarité. Le trouble s’améliore parfois avec l’avancée en âge, mais il reste très présent à l’âge adulte. Se pose alors la question de l’autonomie au quotidien en termes de professionnalisation... d’insertion sociale et de citoyenneté pour laquelle l’entourage doit souvent développer ses propres outils car rien n’est formalisé pour accompagner l’adulte.L’ouvrage aborde les différentes situations rencontrées par l’adulte dys-exécutif, des plus anodines de la vie quotidienne aux plus personnelles ou aux plus décisives quant à son style de vie, et propose des solutions pratiques et des conseils d’adaptation ou d’aménagements pour y faire face.Plus que chez l’enfant, les stratégies proposées pour aider l’adulte dys-exécutif dans sa prise d’autonomie sont pensées pour ménager sa personnalité et son libre arbitre.La description des différentes situations intègre à la fois le vécu de l’adulte dys-exécutif et celui d’autrui, en mettant l’accent sur les quiproquos et des interprétations erronées en fonction du contexte qui peuvent générer incompréhension et perte d’estime de soi.L’ouvrage interroge chacun, qu’il soit parent ou professionnel, sur ce que signifie réellement l’inclusion dans un environnement qui n’a pas les clés pour appréhender correctement les interactions avec l’adulte dys-exécutif, la définition de son projet de vie et le respect de sa volonté.
