The prostate hosts neuroendocrine cells whose origin and functional roles warrant better understanding.

This book is designed to give clinicians a practical guide to the detection, assessment and treatment of sleep disorders in patients with psychiatric illness in order to better treat both their sleep disorder and their psychiatric disorder.

"From reviews of the previous volume: """This volume should be quite useful to the target audience. It provides a good foundation for evidence-based practice and further research (4 stars).""" --Doody's Book Review Service The nursing community is continually challenged with expanding the empirical knowledge base that informs rural nursing practice. This volume of the prestigious "Annual Review of Nursing Research, Focus on Rural Health," addresses this challenge. Contributors have developed creative and effective strategies to identify relevant research and present them in the context of the rural delivery system. Topics include: Nursing Research to Meet Health Care Needs of Rural Populations Improving Systems, Quality of Care & Patient Safety Improving Cultural Relevance of Rural Nursing Research: Methodological Issues, Constraints, and Opportunities Also included: Contents of Previous 10 Volumes The contributors, all noted nurse scientists, discuss the key problems they deal with on a daily basis, utilizing recent rural and general health policy reports. This approach allows readers to learn new techniques and strategies for rural nursing practice that are firmly grounded in the evidence. While the primary examples are drawn from American contexts, a special chapter on global perspectives highlights analogous problems and issues that rural nursing research raises across countries, particularly the availability of resources. About the Editors This volume is edited by Elizabeth Merwin, Associate Dean, Research and the Director of the Rural Health Care Research Center at the University of Virginia School of Nursing. The series editor is Joyce J. Fitzpatrick, who has received numerous honors and awards including the American Journal of Nursing Book of the Year Award 18 times, and is the Elizabeth Brooks Ford Professor of Nursing, Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing at Case Western Reserve University.

The three-volume set LNCS 8149, 8150, and 8151 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2013, held in Nagoya, Japan, in September 2013.

The fundamentals of "supramolecular chemistry" to the latest developments on the subject are covered by this book. Molecules with fascinating shapes and functions such as fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, dendrimers, rotaxane, and catenane, and molecular assemblies are also explained.

The field of biologically inspired computation has coexisted with mainstream computing since the 1930s, and the pioneers in this area include Warren McCulloch, Walter Pitts, Robert Rosen, Otto Schmitt, Alan Turing, John von Neumann and Norbert Wiener.

The volume 'Medical Radiological Physics' is intended to provide the scientific basis of diagnostics and therapy in medical radiology.

The use of units for physical quantities in the present volume follows largely the rules given by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), c.f. However, the centimetre-gram-second (CGS) system is used in some sections of the present volume, since it is still dominating in certain areas of astrophysics.

Focuses on data for ternary systems for one vitally important specific class of materials, steels. This title presents various diagrams for each system, calculated from a specially developed SGTE database for steels.

This volume contains data on the geometric parameters (internuclear distances, bond angles, dihedral angles of internal rotation etc.) of free polyatomic molecules including free radicals and molecular ions.

Data on ferroelectric and antiferroelectric behaviour of pure compounds and solid solutions are critically evaluated and in addition all other properties relevant to the characterization of these crystals are presented in tables and figures.

This series of Landolt-Boernstein volumes is summarizing our current knowledge of the phenomena of mesoscopic quantum systems with spatial extensions between those of atoms and ordinary macroscopic solids. At low temperatures, they are said to become "quantum mechanically coherent" with states that extend over the whole system.

Invasive Aspergillose und systemisch verlaufende Cryptococcose sind die beiden gegenw{rtig h{ufigsten aerogenen invasiven Pilzinfektionen bei Immunsuppression oder anderweitig disponierenden Immundefekten. Aus mykologisch-diagnostischer und -epidemiologischer Sicht wird in diesem Band }ber den au~erordentlich raschen und zeitlich definierbaren Verlauf der invasiven Aspergillose bei h|chster Infektionsbereitschaft informiert mit dem Ziel, die zur Verf}gung stehende medizinisch-mykologische Diagnostik (Erreger- und Antigennachweis) bei relevantem klinischem Untersuchungsmaterial zum richtigen Zeitpunkt zum Einsatz zu bringen. Aktuelles und instruktives mykologisch-diagnostisches, -klinisches und -epidemiologisches Bildmaterial j}ngsten Datums soll dem Kliniker, Pathologen, Immunologen, Molekularbiologen, Pharmazeuten und Hygieniker Einblicke in Situationen, Zusammenh{nge und Abl{ufe vermitteln, die Erkl{rungen f}r verschiedene, bisher bestehende, Unklarheiten oder/und Fehlinterpretationen geben. Aus pathologischer Sicht wird anhand j}ngster Befunde }ber aktuelle Themen des ebenfalls zeitlich begrenzten Verlaufs der Cryptococcose, und zwar der Lunge (Alveole) als Eintrittspforte und der Prostata (Acinus) als Rezidivnische, vergleichend zur invasiven Aspergillose mit eindrucksvollem Bildmaterial berichtet. Die Referate }ber Klinik, Diagnostik, Therapie und Prophylaxe der bei uns gef}rchtetsten aerogenen Pilz
