- Abstract
- The period from adolescence through young adulthood is one of great promise and vulnerability. As teenagers approach maturity, they must develop and apply the skills and habits necessary to navigate adulthood and compete in an ever more technological and globalized world. But as parents and researchers have long known, there is a crucial dichotomy between adolescents' cognitive competence and their frequent inability to utilize that competence in everyday decision-making. This volume brings together an interdisciplinary group of leading scientists to examine how the adolescent brain develops, and how this development impacts various aspects of reasoning and decision-making, from the use and function of memory and representation, to judgment, mathematical problem-solving, and the construction of meaning.

Trichoscopy--the use of dermoscopy to diagnose diseases of hair and scalp--was initially named in 2006 and thus it is still very much in its childhood. With so much still to learn in the great field of hair and scalp disorders, recent years have brought multiple results from original studies into trichoscopy, new case descriptions, and analytic reviews, as well as know-how derived from unpublished but widely shared experience.

- Abstract
- Trichoscopy--the use of dermoscopy to diagnose diseases of hair and scalp--was initially named in 2006 and thus it is still very much in its childhood. With so much still to learn in the great field of hair and scalp disorders, recent years have brought multiple results from original studies into trichoscopy, new case descriptions, and analytic reviews, as well as know-how derived from unpublished but widely shared experience. Atlas of Trichoscopy: Dermoscopy in Hair and Scalp Diseases is a book for both trainee dermatologists and those who perform trichoscopy in their everyday practice. It contains chapters by trichoscopy experts from around the world that will certainly help the reader learn the subtleties of the technique while teach them how to apply it in their daily practice.

- Abstract
- The thorax has a fundamental role in the aesthetic of the male body: congenital or acquired alterations are experienced as extremely frustrating clinical situations. Most breast surgery texts briefly mention gynecomastia, but no text comprehensively addresses the male breast and thorax, including reconstructive and cosmetic surgery and surgery in transgender patients. This gap is now thoroughly filled by Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery of the Male Breast: after introducing principles of anatomy and aesthetics for the male thorax, the first part focusses on the main congenital malformations and their treatment, the main benign acquired pathologies and their treatment (including an ample section dedicated to gynecomastia), the carcinoma of the male breast, with reference to familiar forms, the treatment of carcinoma and reconstruction of the thorax. The book closes with a chapter dedicated to breast surgery in transgender patients. While female breast surgery is increasingly practiced in specific Breast Units and highly specialized centers, male breast issues are treated in general and plastic surgeries units. This handy volume is a sound reference for the most complex clinical cases, and the latest reconstruction treatments for the male thorax and will be useful for general and thoracic surgeons, plastic surgeons and senologists.

- Abstract
- The processes of tumor metastasis, apoptosis and anti-tumor immune response are among the most complex yet rapidly advancing fields in the area of cancer research. This monograph presents a comprehensive coverage of the recent advances in the various key concepts in these fundamental aspects of human cancer. It would be of particular interest to members of the cancer research community, especially those who are actively involved in the study of basic and translational aspects of human cancer. Specifically, this volume includes authentic subject reviews by leading experts on the following aspects: Control of tumor cell motility; Role of tumor-cell adhesion and migration in organ-selective metastasis-formation; Tumor heterogeneity in relation to invasion and metastasis and its clinical implications; Tumor angiogenesis, angioprevention, anti-angiogenic therapies and response; Role of apoptosis in the development, progression and therapy of cancer; Role of macrophages in tumor development and metastasis; Pathways of macrophage-mediated tumor progression; Abnormal variation of immune response against cancer; Immunological aspects of Marek's disease virus (MDV)-induced lymphoma progression; A biodynamical model of human T-cell proliferative disorders; Current methodologies for characterization of tumor directed immune response.
- Contents
- Metastasis: a current perspective -- Control of cell motility during tissue invasion -- Cell adhesion and invasion during secondary tumor formation: interactions between tumor cells and host organs -- Genes and metastasis: experimental advances and clinical implications -- The evolution of diversity within tumors and metastases -- Tumor angiogenesis, antiangiogenic therapy and anti-antiangiogenesis response -- Apoptosis and cancer -- Macrophages in tumour development and metastasis -- Classical and alternative activation of macrophages: different pathways of macrophage-mediated tumor promotion -- Characterization of tumor-directed cellular immune responses in humans -- Immunological aspects of Marek's disease virus (MDV)-induced lymphoma progression -- Abnormal variation of the immune response as related to cancer -- A biodynamical model of human T-cell development and pathology: design, testing and validation.
