We now have a much clearer understanding of the disease, its management and the rehabilitation of patients. But there is still much to be done.

Th is book aims to cover a range of exciting new fi ndings in clinical sciences, basic sciences and allied specialties with an emphasis on their relevance to HNC. Th is work promises to improve preventive and therapeutic strategies and will hopefully culminate in improved outcomes of HNC.

Th e contributions have been made by established leaders in the fi eld and every eff ort has been made to address the issue in a comprehensive, yet concise, manner for the benefi t of readers. We hope that this volume will provide up-to-date information on individual upcomingoutstanding issues in the management of HNC.

We believe that Issues in Head and Neck Cancer will be of value to establishedin-training clinicians, scientists, allied professionals as well as medical students who have inquisitive minds and wish to further enhance their knowledge of HNC. * (less)

The authors, both experts in the field, convincingly demonstrate how rapidly changing American values ignited two very different visions of justice for the mentally ill. They argue that during the "Liberal era"--from 1960 to 1980--Americans staunchly supported civil liberties for all, particularly for disadvantaged citizens like the mentally ill.

Also, criminal law provided ample opportunities for mentally ill offenders to avoid criminal punishment for their crimes, and restrictive civil commitment laws made it difficult to hospitalize the mentally disabled against their will. During the "Neoconservative era"--from 1980 on--however, the public demanded new laws as a result of the rise in crime and the increasing number of homeless in communities.

These changes make it much more difficult for mentally ill offenders to escape criminal blame and far easier to put disturbed citizens into hospitals against their will. Back to the Asylum accurately describes how this abrupt shift from protecting individual civil rights to protecting the community has had a major impact on the mentally ill.

It examines these legal changes in their broader social context and offers a provocative analysis of these law reforms. Finally, this timely work forecasts the future of mental health law and policy as America enters the twenty-first century (less)

The authors pay particular attention to the problems of fairness in reforms that rely on competition. Although some reform ideas fare much better that others, all are found weak in establishing open, democratic procedures for deciding the limits of care.

They also assess the current changes brought on by the rapid growth of managed care systems since the collapse of national reform (less)

The book is divided into four parts: cohort studies, case-control and proportionate mortality studies, cross-sectional studies, and surveillance and screening studies. A brief introduction to each part describes the study design, and a statistical appendix is included so that students can readily find the tools needed to answer analytical questions in the text.

Questions in each chapter deal with study design, data collection, analysis, and interpretation, and complete answers are provided at the end of the chapters. Data sets accompany many of the chapters, and most of the analytical questions can be answered with a pocket calculator.

The studies presented in this lucid, well-organized text involve a broad range of disease outcomes, including spontaneous abortion, carpal tunnel syndrome, kidney dysfunction, cytogenetic changes, ischemic heart disease, dermatitis, chronic renal disease, and several types of cancer. The exposures of interest are equally diverse, including VDT use, repetitive hand-wrist motion, heavy metals, carbon monoxide, diesel exhaust, lead, vinyl chloride, pesticides, solvents, silica, and acid mists.

These outcomes and exposures cover many of the current issues in occupational health (less)

Then in the late 1960s, a palpable sense of limits rendered the individualism of the previous decade into a Malthusian formulation: the greater the access or benefits that any one person received, the less access and fewer benefits others could get. Besides tracing these patterns in health care development, the essays also show how traditional notions of expertise have been affected by the changes (less)

Import and export depend upon a number of sophisticated mechanisms, such as active transport, endocytosis, exocytosis, and passive diffusion. These systems are critical for the normal housekeeping physiological functions.

However, access to the cell is also taken advantage of by toxic microbes (such as cholera or ptomaine) and when designing drugs. Ernest Overton, one of the pioneers in lipid membrane research, put forward the first comprehensive theory of lipid membrane structure.

His most quoted paper on the osmotic properties of cells laid the foundation for the modern concepts of membrane function, most notably important in anesthesia. This book is designed to celebrate the centennial anniversary (in the first chapter) of Overton's work.

Subsequent chapters present readers with up-to-date concepts of membrane structure and function and the challenge they pose for new explorations. Key Features * Provides an historical perspective of Overton's contributions to the theory of narcosis * Presents an overview of each permeability mechanism, including active transport, endocytosis, exocytosis, and passive diffusion (less)
