Interrelations between Essential Metal Ions and Human Diseases
by Astrid Sigel Helmut Sigel Roland K. O. SigelMILS-13 provides an up-to-date review on the relationships between essential metals and human diseases, covering 13 metals and 3 metalloids: The bulk metals sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium, plus the trace elements manganese, iron, cobalt, copper, zinc, molybdenum, and selenium, all of which are essential for life. Also covered are chromium, vanadium, nickel, silicon, and arsenic, which have been proposed as being essential for humans in the 2nd half of the last century. However, if at all, they are needed only in ultra-trace amounts, and because of their prevalence in the environment, it has been difficult to prove whether or not they are required. In any case, all these elements are toxic in higher concentrations and therefore, transport and cellular concentrations of at least the essential ones, are tightly controlled; hence, their homeostasis and role for life, including deficiency or overload, and their links to illnesses, including cancer and neurological disorders, are thoroughly discussed. Indeed, it is an old wisdom that metals are indispensable for life. Therefore, Volume 13 provides in an authoritative and timely manner in 16 stimulating chapters, written by 29 internationally recognized experts from 7 nations, and supported by more than 2750 references, and over 20 tables and 80 illustrations, many in color, a most up-to-date view on the vibrant research area of the Interrelations between Essential Metal Ions and Human Diseases.
Interrogating Incest: Feminism, Foucault and the Law (Sociology of Law and Crime)
by Vikki BellWinner of British Sociological Association Philip Abrams Memorial Prize 1993 Within feminism incest has often been subsumed under a discussion of sexual violence and abuse. Yet, important as this is, there has been little account of how feminist work itself relates to other ways of talking about and understanding incest.In Interrogating Incest Vikki Bell focuses on the issue of incest and its place in sociological theory, feminist theory and criminal law. By examining incest from a critical Foucauldian framework she considers how feminist discourse on incest itself fits into existing ways of talking about sex. Closely surveying the historical background to incest legislation and the theoretical issues involve, Vikki Bell delineates their practical implications and shows what uncomfortable questions and important dilemmas are raised by the criminalisation of incest.
Interrogating Psychiatric Narratives of Madness: Documented Lives
by Andrea Daley Merrick D. PillingThis book challenges the perception of the psychiatric chart as a neutral and objective text. The chapters included in this book coalesce to reveal the psychiatric chart as a text that is, in fact, “storied” by institutional ideology that reflects, reinforces, reinterprets, and, at times, resists gendered, raced, sexualized, and classed norms, values, and presuppositions. Intersectional analysis highlights the nuanced ways in which dominant ideologies are activated in chart documentation to produce qualitatively specific psychiatric narratives of distress and related responses in the psychiatric institution. The book serves as a much-needed resource for mental health professionals, education and training programs, and researchers that meaningfully takes into account the social and structural materiality of people’s lives and its impact on experiences of distress. It will also appeal to scholars investigating equity in health care across the fields of Critical Psychology, Disability Studies, Social Work, Allied Health, Mad Studies and Social Justice.

Intersectionality in Family Therapy Leadership: Professional Power, Personal Identities (AFTA SpringerBriefs in Family Therapy)
by Karen Mui-Teng Quek Alexander Lin HsiehThis brief examines the ways in which sociocultural characteristics and contexts intersect to create varying dimensions of social advantage and inequality that, in turn, affect and organize professional relationships in educational and therapeutic settings. It explores how inherently hierarchical relationships develop within educational and university contexts, including between professors and students, supervisors and supervisees, clinicians and clients, and administrators and faculty members. The volume addresses how participants’ social locations inform their roles and actions and how they can hold positions of power while also embodying a marginalized identities.In addition, the book draws on perspectives of persons marginalized or privileged based on their race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, and/or gender to examine how social location impacts their work as family therapy clinicians, supervisors, instructors, and administrators.

Intersektorale Versorgung: Best Practices – erfolgreiche Versorgungslösungen mit Zukunftspotenzial
by Ursula Hahn Clarissa KurscheidDas deutsche Gesundheitswesen ist ein sehr komplexes und hoch reguliertes Gebilde, geprägt durch eine historisch bedingte Sektorentrennung, eine staatsmittelbare Selbstverwaltung mit immer neuen Regulationen und Gesetzesreformen in zunehmend kürzeren Rhythmen. Zugleich zeichnet sich der erste Gesundheitsmarkt durch eine deutliche Geschlossenheit gegenüber Innovationen aus. Es ist einerseits schwierig, Neuerungen und sektorenübergreifende Versorgungsansätze zu implementieren, andererseits schaffen es viele gute Ideen und erfolgreiche Projekte nicht in die Regelversorgung. Doch knappe finanzielle Ressourcen, die demographische Entwicklung, die wachsenden medizinisch-technischen und digitalen Möglichkeiten sowie die interfachliche und interdisziplinäre Arbeitsteilung fordern geradezu neue intersektorale Ansätze. Tatsächlich gibt es trotz der Hürden gute und funktionierende intersektorale Lösungen. In diesem Herausgeberwerk werden knapp dreißig Best-Practice-Beispiele vorgestellt: Akteure ganz unterschiedlicher Provenienz berichten über ihre Lösungen, die von Kooperation verschiedener selbständiger Akteure bis Integration aller Versorgungsebenen unter einem Dach reichen. Dabei orientieren sie sich an Gütekriterien, wie z.B. Qualität der Patientenversorgung, Effizienzpotenziale, Skalierbarkeit oder Anforderungen an einen notwendigen Strukturwandel. Die Erfahrungen dieser Best-Practice-Beispiele können und sollen für die Weiterentwicklung einer modernen und patientenorientierten intersektoralen Versorgung nutzbar gemacht werden.
Interstitial Hyperthermia: Physics, Biology and Clinical Aspects
by M. Urano E. DoupleIn the last decade the use of interstitial microwave antennas to deliver localized and controlled power to deep-seated tumours has been explored in institutes around the world. Simultaneously the field of brachytherapy also progressed as clinicans began to develop new implantation approaches for a variety of tumour sites, thereby promoting the insertion of catheters which could serve as conduits for the insterstitial microwave applicators. Although the challenges presented by deep-seated tumours have not been solved, the developments in the field of brachytherapy and the implantation of interstitial applicators for hyperthermia are such that a volume dedicated to this approach is warranted. This third volume in the series "Hyperthermia and Oncology" provides insight in and updated information on various aspects of interstitial hyperthermia. It aims to serve as a guide for clinicians who are either already working in the field or who wish to implement this treatment. It also provides basic aspects to physicists and biologists who are interested in the field of hyperthermic treatment.
