Translational Radiation Oncology covers the principles of evidence-based medicine and applies them to the design of translational research. The book provides valuable discussions on the critical appraisal of published studies and recent developments in radiation oncology, allowing readers to learn how to evaluate the quality of such studies with respect to measuring outcomes and make effective use of all types of evidence. By reading this book, researchers have access to a practical approach to help them navigate challenging considerations in study design and implementation.

It is a valuable resource for researchers, oncologists and members of biomedical field who want to understand more about translational research applied to the field of radiation oncology. Translational medicine serves as an indispensable tool in grant writing and funding efforts, so understanding how to apply its principles to research is necessary to guarantee that results will be impactful to patients.

Provides a clear process for understanding, designing, executing and analyzing clinical and translational research Presents practical, step-by-step guidance to help readers take ideas from the lab to the bedside Written by a team of oncologists, radiologists and clinical research experts that fully cover translational research in radiation oncology

Social Capital and Health discusses social capital—a concept that originated in the social sciences—and its application to the field of public health.

This book examines cultural representations of African American and Asian American masculinity, focusing primarily on the major works of two influential figures, Ralph Ellison and Frank Chin. It highlights the language of gender and sexuality that writers use to depict the psychological injuries inflicted by racism on men of color—a language that relies on metaphors of emasculation. The book focuses on how homosexuality comes to function as a powerful symbol for a feminizing racism, and explains why this disturbing symbolism proves to be so rhetorically and emotionally effective. This study also explores the influential concept of literature that these writers promote—a view of writing as a cultural and political activity capable of producing the most virile and racially authentic forms of manhood. In comparing African American and Asian American writings, this book offers the first scholarly account of how black and yellow conceptions of masculinity are constructed in relation to each other.

An introduction to state-of-the-art modeling and simulation approaches for social and economic determinants of population healthNew Horizons in Modeling and Simulation for Social Epidemiology and Public Health offers a comprehensive introduction to modeling and simulation that addresses the many complex research questions in social epidemiology and public health. This book highlights a variety of practical applications and illustrative examples with a focus on modeling and simulation approaches for the social and economic determinants of population health.The book contains classic case examples in agent-based modeling (ABM) as well as essential information on ABM applications to public health including for infectious disease modeling, obesity, and tobacco control. This book also surveys applications of microsimulation (MSM) including of tax-benefit policies to project impacts of the social determinants of health.Specifically, this book: Provides an overview of the social determinants of health and the public health significance of addressing the social determinants of healthGives a conceptual foundation for the application of ABM and MSM to study the social determinants of healthOffers methodological introductions to both ABM and MSM approaches with illustrative examplesIncludes cutting-edge systematic reviews of empirical applications of ABM and MSM in the social sciences, social epidemiology, and public healthDiscusses future directions for empirical research using ABM and MSM, including integrating aspects of both ABM and MSM and implications for public health policiesWritten for a broad audience of policy analysts, public planners, and researchers and practitioners in public health and public policy including social epidemiologists, New Horizons in Modeling and Simulation for Social Epidemiology and Public Health offers a fundamental guide to the social determinants of health and state-of-the-art applications of ABM and MSM to studying the social and economic determinants of population health.

As interest in social capital has grown over the past decade--particularly in public health --so has the lack of consensus on exactly what it is and what makes it worth studying. Ichiro Kawachi, a widely respected leader in the field, and 21 contributors (including physicians, economists, and public health experts) discuss the theoretical origins of social capital, the strengths and limitations of current methodologies of measuring it, and salient examples of social capital concepts informing public health practice. Among the highlights: Measurement methods: survey, sociometric, ethnographic, experimental The relationship between social capital and physical health and health behaviors: smoking, substance abuse, physical activity, sexual activity Social capital and mental health: early findings Social capital and the aging community Social capital and disaster preparedness Social Capital and Health is certain to inspire a new generation of research on this topic, and will be of interest to researchers and advanced students in public health, health behavior, and social epidemiology.

Rest in Mesopotamian and Israelite Literature studies the concept of rest in the Hebrew Bible and ancient Near Eastern literature. Through close examination of Mesopotamian texts and selections from the Deuteronomistic History and Chronicles, Kim delineates a concept of rest for each body of literature, and employs a comparative approach to illuminate the rest motif in the Hebrew Bible in light of Mesopotamian literature.

A video-rich guide to cutting-edge endoscopic spine surgery techniques from international experts.Endoscopic spine surgery has entered an era that is not only minimally invasive, but also intelligent, robotic, and immersive. Video Atlas of Endoscopic Spine Surgery and Procedures reflects continued growth in this field, while building on the legacy of Endoscopic Spine Procedures, first published in 2011.The new book offers a comprehensive and practical resource that is both a snapshot of current best practices and a preview of what lies ahead. Readers will greatly benefit from many years of expertise and wisdom shared by master spine surgeons Daniel Kim, Gun Choi, Jin-Sung Kim, Dae-Jung Choi, Richard G. Fessler, and a cadre of esteemed international contributors.Due to the narrow endoscopic view, subtle microanatomical differences in the lumbar, thoracic, and cervical regions are not always easy to visually discern. To address this challenge, the book features136 videos, detailed procedural descriptions, and images mirroring endoscopic views spine surgeons encounter in the operating room. Organized anatomically, 89 chapters guide readers systematically through lumbar, thoracic, cervical, and craniocervical junction procedures for pathologies ranging from low back pain and deformities to tumors, lesions, infections, and trauma.Key FeaturesA global community of spine surgeons, innovators, and educators shares practical insights, technical pearls, and evidence-based guidance.Covers an unparalleled number of minimally invasive spine approaches that have revolutionized spinal pathology treatment paradigms.Delivers hands-on guidance on how to perform a diverse array of endoscopic spine procedures via 136 videos.More than 1000 high-quality images, including procedural color photographs and medical illustrations, provide in-depth visual understanding.This multimedia resource provides a dynamic learning tool across all stages of training and clinical experience. Neurosurgical and orthopedic residents, spine fellows, and seasoned spine surgeons will greatly benefit from the significant knowledge and insights shared in this video atlas.This print book includes a scratch off code to access a complimentary digital copy on MedOne.Publisher's Note: Products purchased from Third Party sellers are not guaranteed by the publisher for quality, authenticity, or access to any online entitlements included with the product.
