Peripheral Receptor Targets for Analgesia

Novel Approaches to Pain Management

By: Brian E. Cairns

A unique reference on peripheral pain receptor mechanisms While considerable advances have been made on pharmacotherapies for many chronic disease states, options available to treat chronic pain have remained relatively unchanged for decades. However, utilizing the receptors involved in peripheral pain transduction mechanisms offers a significant opportunity to create novel therapies for pain. A comprehensive review of peripheral pain mechanisms, Peripheral Receptor Targets for Analgesia: Novel Approaches to Pain Management provides a unique resource that brings together a body of knowledge that was previously widely dispersed. As such, it gives readers a framework for further basic and clinical studies on potential receptor targets, as well as the development of improved topical analgesics. Coverage includes: The latest discoveries by leading researchers relating to the function of various ion channels and receptors in the peripheral nervous system Novel delivery techniques An appendix listing currently available topical analgesic medications A Foreword by Professor Lars Arendt-Nielsen of the Center for Sensory-Motor Interaction (SMI) at Aalborg University An unmatched resource for improving drug therapies and making pain management more efficient, Peripheral Receptor Targets for Analgesia supplies pharmaceutical scientists, pharmacologists, neuroscientists, and graduate and upper-level undergraduate students with a comprehensive, up-to-date reference.

Change and Stability in Thesis and Dissertation Writing

The Evolution of an Academic Genre

By: Brian Paltridge,Sue Starfield

Examining recent changes in the once stable genre of doctoral thesis and dissertation writing, this book explores how these changes impact on the nature of the doctoral thesis/dissertation itself. Covering different theories of genre, Brian Paltridge and Sue Starfield focus on the concepts of evolution, innovation and emergence in the context of the production and reception of doctoral theses and dissertations. Specifically concerned with this genre in the humanities, social sciences and visual and performing arts, this book also investigates the forces which are shaping changes in this high-stakes genre, as well as those which act as constraints. Employing textography as its methodological approach, the book provides multiple perspectives on the ways in which doctoral theses and dissertations are subject to forces of continuity and change in the academy. Analyses of the 'new humanities' doctorate, professional doctorates, practice-based doctorates, and the doctorate by publication contribute to understandings of new variants of the doctoral dissertation genre. The book paves the way for a new generation of doctoral students and asks, 'what might the doctorate of the future look like?'.

ADHD in Adults

By: Brian P Daly,Elizabeth Nicholls,Ronald T Brown

Compact and authoritative guidance on evidence-based treatment for ADHD in adults Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that emerges during childhood. However, it is now well recognized that ADHD frequently persists over the lifespan and well into adulthood. Although ADHD is typically first identified during the childhood years, the presentation of symptoms may differ considerably between adults and children. Without appropriate symptom management, ADHD can significantly interfere with academic, emotional, social, and work functioning. When roperly identified and diagnosed, however, outcomes in adults with ADHD who receive appropriate treatment are encouraging. This volume is both a compact "how to" reference, for use by professional clinicians in their daily work, and an ideal educational reference for practice-oriented students. It is practical and "reader friendly." It has a similar structure to others in the series, and is a compact and easy to follow guide covering all aspects of practice that are relevant in real life in the assessment and management of ADHD in adults. Tables, relevant case studies, and marginal notes assist rientation, while suggestions for further reading, support groups, and educational organizations are provided for individuals and professionals. A companion volume ADHD in Children and Adolescents is also available.

Filter Design for Signal Processing Using MATLAB and Mathematica

By: Miroslav D. Lutovac,Dejan V. Tošić,Brian Lawrence Evans

A complete up-to-date reference for advanced analog and digital IIR filter design rooted in elliptic functions. "Revolutionary" in approach, this book opens up completely new vistas in basic analog and digital IIR filter design--regardless of the technology. By introducing exceptionally elegant and creative mathematical stratagems (e.g., accurate replacement of Jacobi elliptic functions by functions comprising polynomials, square roots, and logarithms), optimization routines carried out with symbolic analysis by "Mathematica," and the advance filter design software of MATLAB, it shows readers how to design many types of filters that cannot be designed using conventional techniques. The filter design algorithms can be directly programed in any language or environment such as Visual BASIC, Visual C, Maple, DERIVE, or MathCAD. Signals; Systems; Transforms; Classical Analog Filter Design; Advanced Analog Filter Design Case Studies; Advanced Analog Filter Design Algorithms; Multi-criteria Optimization of Analog Filter Designs; Classical Digital Filter Design; Advanced Digital Filter Design Case Studies; Advanced Digital Filter Design Algorithms; Multi-criteria Optimization of Digital Filter Designs; Elliptic Functions; Elliptic Rational Function.
