Because of the individual and varying symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome, medical guidelines encompassing the needs of every patient simply do not exist. Through proven research and recommendations for future treatment, Disability and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Clinical, Legal, and Patient Perspectives discusses the difficult subject of how to diagnose disability in chronic fatigue syndrome patients, how to determine the severity of a patient’s disability, and how new disability guidelines would make more chronic fatigue patients eligible to apply for disability benefits. From this information, you will gain a clearer understanding of chronic fatigue syndrome, enabling you to more accurately assess a patient’s condition or decide if your client is eligible for disability benefits. Essential for clinicians, lawyers, patients, and medical insurers, Disability and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome provides an outline of disability guidelines established by the Social Security Administration (SSA), the Veterans’Administration, and the American Medical Association, as well as federal guidelines. While gaining information on the different types of disability insurance available to chronic fatigue patients, such as the Long Term Disability (LTD) policy, you will also learn how standard procedures such as psychiatric evaluation, neuropsychological testing, and physical capacity measurement can both help and hinder the process of determining disability in a patient. In addition, Disability and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome provides insight into:the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome, such as inability to work and level of stamina, in accordance with medical and legal definitions disability guidelines set by the SSA how patients’varying symptoms and conflicting findings affect disability diagnosis in chronic fatigue syndrome patients by SSA standards plans by the Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS) Association of America to work with the SSA concerning strategies to dissolve barriers to Social Security Disability Income Benefits for patients and to advocate for up-to-date information on CFIDS in the SSA’s Listing of Impairments. tips on applying for SSA benefits claims that insurance companies have used misleading surveillance videos and fraud to discontinue disability benefits to patients in need of coverage Since the Social Security Administration does not currently consider a CFIDS diagnosis enough to win a disability claim, Disability and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome also contains many recommendations for improving federal disability guidelines, such as using results from functional evaluations, neuropsychological testing, and exercise endurance testing as evidence of impairment. For less severe cases, this book provides you with suggestions for rehabilitation of CFS patients before disability claims are made, including patient training and education, dependency counseling, muscular conditioning, and occupational therapy. Whether you are a patient, clinician, lawyer, or medical insurer, Disability and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome will guide you through the complex issues surrounding disability and this intricate disease.

In the early stages of an RNA revolution, the potential of RNA technology to transform human and veterinary medicine, agriculture, and industry, is emergent in much the same way as the advent of recombinant DNA in the 1980s, which created and disrupted products and markets. The revolution has been heralded by the realization that RNA plays a more fundamental role in biology than that reflected in the classical central molecular biology dogma—DNA to RNA to protein to phenotype. The new consensus is that RNA plays a more fundamental role in biology, directly regulating protein function and phenotype. Non-protein coding RNA accounts for more than 95% of the transcriptional output of human, animal, and plant genomes and regulates gene expression, chromatin remodeling, and cellular growth. The number of noncoding RNAs exceeds that of protein-coding RNAs, including inherited changes, significantly increasing the number of inherited genes.This textbook offers a comprehensive overview of the biology of RNA and is a companion volume to The Biology of RNA: The Fundamentals, The Practical Applications of RNA: Medicine, and The Practical Applications of RNA: Agriculture and Industry. Chapters are structured to enhance learning and retention with the use of overviews, learning objectives, and clearly highlighted key concepts, definitions, and points to remember. Chapters are rounded out with case studies, exercises, and quizzes to encourage readers to think and apply new knowledge. Capturing the state of research and offering insight on emerging topics and future knowledge trends, this textbook is a pivotal resource for advanced students and researchers in molecular biology, and any reader interested in learning more about this rapidly advancing field.

RNA technology is poised to drive a new era of discovery and innovation across human and veterinary medicine, agriculture, and industry—an inflection point as consequential as the recombinant DNA revolution of the 1980s. As the first comprehensive survey of noncoding RNAs, this textbook provides a timely and authoritative introduction to one of the most dynamic frontiers in modern biology. It offers a broad overview of RNA biology while serving as a companion volume to The Biology of RNA: Long and Small Non-coding RNAs, and two forthcoming volumes on the practical applications of RNA. Designed to promote learning and long-term retention, each chapter features overviews, learning objectives, and clearly highlighted key concepts, definitions, and key takeaways, along with case studies and quizzes that help readers apply what they have learned. Bringing together foundational discoveries, current research, and emerging directions, this textbook is an indispensable resource for undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and all readers seeking a deeper understanding of this fast-moving field.Advance Praise for The Biology of RNA:“A rare RNA textbook that closes the gap between basic RNA biology and the clinical revolution unfolding around it.” – Ada E. Yonath, PhD, Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2009“Anyone who reads it will come away with a far better understanding and appreciation of this important molecule that is fundamental to all of our lives.” – Robert S. Langer, David H. Koch Institute Professor, MIT.
