Product Description:
Violence within the family, whether directed against children, partners or elders, profoundly disturbs our notions of what the relationship between the family and the discipline of general practice should be. GPs are doctors to whole families and yet their relationships with patients are individual ones, drawing their strength from the principles of confidentiality, mutual trust and positive regard. Violence and abuse within families necessarily challenges all of these, creating a profusion of ethical, interpersonal and practical difficulties and dilemmas.

In this fascinating treatise, fifty cases show such missed opportunities as well as extraordinary examples of how the skin can react to disease and stimuli. From dog bites that would not heal to the fingernails' reaction to lethargy and the effect of a vegan diet, 50 Cases in Dermatological Medicine reminds the reader of the astonishing signals the human body sends when health is threatened. This book is key for students, residents, and professionals in dermatology, and for any health care practitioner who wants to apply the lessons learned.

Product Description:
The somatotropic axis is one of the major hormonal systems regulating postnatal growth in mammals. It interacts with the central nervous system on several levels. Growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) receptors are expressed in many brain areas including the hippocampus, pituitary and hypothalamus. GH and IGF-I are important factors in the development and differentiation of the CNS and have protective properties in dementia, as well as in traumatic and ischaemic injury of the CNS. Also GH has an important impact on mood and well-being with GH secretory capacity being reduced in depression.
