Obra que detalla con gran pericia los datos que respaldan un innovador enfoque para subclasificar la esquizofrenia y otros trastornos psicóticos en base a las comorbilidades de ansiedad y depresión. Proporciona casos prácticos simulados, criterios diagnósticos del DSM-5, modelos de entrevista específicos para cada una de las cinco comorbilidades en pacientes con psicosis y opciones terapéuticas mejoradas. También se analizan las psicosis relacionadas con el consumo de sustancias, las enfermedades médicas y el tratamiento médico, así como otros factores que contribuyen a los trastornos psicóticos. Esta pionera obra de referencia, única en su área, es un recurso clínico, docente, de investigación y de formación, útil para psiquiatras, psicólogos, profesionales de enfermería, trabajadores sociales, neurólogos y cualquiera que esté interesado en la asistencia y el tratamiento de pacientes con trastornos psicóticos. La obra incluye ejemplos de entrevistas con los pacientes y/o purebas de laboratorio para cada diagnóstico. Detalla los síntomas, cuasipsicóticos y los signos secundarios de las comorbilidades, tanto cuando aparecen de forma aislada como asociados a psicosis. Subraya el significado específico de cada diagnóstico y los papeles contribuyentes de los neurotransmisores, la hipofrontalidad, los traumas psicológicos y la genética.

Vascular Surgery: A Clinical Guide to Decision-making is a concise but comprehensive resource for operating vascular surgeons and clinicians. It serves as an essential reference manual, particularly to young vascular surgeons, for consulting the basic scientific knowledge of pathogenesis of various illnesses, as well as how to approach them in a clinical setting. Adopting a translational approach, this book dissects the background of vascular pathology and links it to application in surgical techniques, as well as providing practical tips and tricks for surgical maneuvers. With insights and suggestions from various experienced and skilled vascular surgeons, this book covers a range of topics including the origin of diseases, clinical presentation, and therapeutic options, from medical therapy to surgical or endovascular approach. Each chapter also reviews international cutting-edge research in the vascular field and its clinical application, illuminating future developments in the field. With the contributions of first-class vascular surgeons, this book also covers uncommon and advanced case studies while exploring the pros and cons of each intervention option, helping practitioners make informed decisions when facing difficult cases. This unique reference also helps young surgeons to make quick decisions in challenging cases, such as how to choose between open and endo treatment.

Spider Evolution: Genetics, Behavior, and Ecological Influences provides a thorough exploration of the evolutionary trail of arachnids, particularly spider species, from prehistoric origins to current sustainability issues. This book analyzes extinct organisms in the Arachnida class, specifically looking at their phylogenomics and molecular footprints to understand evolutionary changes in diversification in today’s species. Sections cover spider origins and their influences on behavioral traits, physiology of sensory organs, and biomechanics, also touching on spiders as prey and predators and how their roles have changed in the 400 million years of Arachnida existence. The book then focuses upon current environmental issues facing spider species and how these have, and can, affect the evolution of these organisms. Topics include biodiversity minimization, climate change and natural disasters. This book is a much-needed resource for entomologists and arachnid- or arthropod-driven researchers. Advanced undergraduate and graduate students will also benefit from the historic review, current assessment and future predictions of spider evolution provided in this book.

The Inequality of COVID-19: Immediate Health Communication, Governance and Response in Four Indigenous Regions explores the use of information, communication technologies (ICTs) and longer-term guidelines, directives and general policy initiatives. The cases document implications of the failure of various governments to establish robust policies to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in a sample of advanced and low-income countries. Because the global institutions charged with managing the COVID-19 crisis did not work in harmony, the results have been devastating. The four Indigenous communities selected were the Navajo of the southwest United States, Siddi people in India, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of Australia and the Maasai in East Africa. Although these are all diverse communities, spread across different continents, their base economic oppression and survival from colonial violence is a common denominator in hypothesizing the public health management outcomes. However, the research reveals that national leadership and other incoherent pandemic mitigation policies account for a significant amount of the devastation caused in these communities.

History of Modern Clinical Toxicology describes the extraordinary advances in the practice of clinical toxicology within the past 70 years and brings together stories of the people – the champions of clinical toxicology - who contributed to these advances, discovered new therapies and antidotes, and made change happen. This book lays out the poison control system they built and the fascinating story of how they created a new and evolving medical specialty. With the participation of renowned international experts as authors, the book showcases the development of poison control centers around the world and the growth of the professional societies that represent and support them today. This book also tells the stories of the modern-day toxic disasters and recent toxic exposures that gained worldwide attention and notoriety. It outlines the public health responses to such calamities which have led to improvements in our understanding of the science and changes in public health policies and regulations to forestall future such events. Finally, the book covers key policies and agencies affecting poison control centers, addresses the challenges facing clinical toxicologists of today, and predicts advances and future innovations in the field. History of Modern Clinical Toxicology is a unique resource that provides the historical and international perspective that will help students, practitioners, scientists, and health policy makers put current issues and methods in perspective. It will help them understand how infrastructure and processes in clinical toxicology have evolved and why poison control systems are configured as they are.
