Obesity affects the severity of asthma, response to treatment, and is likely a major modifier of the phenotype of asthma.

Autism and the BrainNeurophenomenological Interpretation

For years, the typical presentation of autism—the developmental delays, the social and linguistic deficits—has been well known. Despite great variation among children with this condition, certain symptoms are considered hallmarks of the disorder. Less understood is why these symptoms come together to construct autism. And as autism rates continue to rise, this information is ever more vital to accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Features 7 Interdisciplinary study that provides neuro-phenomenological analysis of autism 7 Explores a new hypothesis of brain pattern underlying clinical manifestation of autism 7 Strives to overcome reductionism of current neuroscience and link phenomenology, psychopathology and neuroscience 7 Tracks the fundamental problem to part of the left hemisphere, which is responsible for awareness of personal identity – self, as one and apart from others

Contents Chapter I. Introduction.- Chapter II. How autistic persons understand words.- Chapter III. How autistic persons perceive the world.- Chapter IV. How autistic persons perceive faces.- Chapter V. How autistic persons act in the world.- Chapter VI. How autistic persons perceive space and spa-tial relations.- Chapter VII. How autistic persons feel.- Chapter VIII. Autistic persons’ sense of self.- Chapter IX. The left-hemispheric self in autism re-visited.- Chapter X. Pieces of autism’s puzzle fall into place.

NevogenesisMechanisms and Clinical Implications of Nevus Development

The “Abtropfung” theory that nevi develop through the migration of nevus cells from the epi-dermis to the dermis prevailed for almost a cen-tury until the “Hochsteigerung” theory postulated the reverse pattern of migration. Most recently, however, new insights gained from epidemiology, cross-sectional and longitudinal studies of nevi, dermoscopy and confocal microscopy, and cellular and molecular studies have brought into question both of these theories.

Cancer Chemotherapy in Clinical PracticeA simple introduction explaining the broad prin-ciples underlying chemotherapy, this book gives trainees a framework within which they can place the specific aspects of cancer chemotherapy they encounter in their everyday experience. The first part of this book is unique in explaining the recent developments in the field in terms of their point of action in the natural history of cancer. The second and third sections contain a more straightforward description of practical aspects of chemotherapy, and the current place of drug treatment in every-day cancer management, including the outcomes of that treatment.

Features 7 Gives an overview of how different treatments relate to different cancers, and different stages of cancer development 7 Specifically relates diffe-rent drug treatments to the natural history of can-cer, from gene mutation to metastasis 7 Includes a number of simple diagrams to help to reinforce, and further clarify some of the basic biological principles being discussed

Contents 1. The Theoretical Basis of Cancer Chemotherapy.- 2. Practical aspects of chemotherapy.- 3. Part III: Chemotherapy in the management of cancer.
