Cancer...Everyone wants a cure for cancer.Is someone willing to kill for it?Alan Rupert is an up-and-coming star in cancer research, on the verge of developing a new test for the disease. Who has him kidnapped, and why? Escaping from captivity and returning to his laboratory, Alan tries to answer these questions, now more vital to him than any in his research. Is it a rival scientist, who wants to beat Alan to the patent for his biomarker genes? Someone from his own laboratory, who wants to sell critical information to a third party? A member of his startup company, who wants to muscle Alan out of the picture? With the help of the same DNA analysis technology that he uses in the lab, Alan searches for the answers, while trying to balance cutting-edge research in cancer, the business of marketing a new test, and mentoring his new students. It is only when his kidnapper becomes a killer that Alan realizes that information he possesses is a threat to his life.
As he fights for his life, a young man finds solace in the amazing world he has built in his head. After being diagnosed with a terrible illness, he makes the decision to fight back. As he battles for his life every day, he experiences a wide range of emotions, from pain to pleasure to love to hatred and to loss. The beginning is just that, only the beginning.

1. 1 Purpose and Plan of This Review This review is focused on the topography and connections of some of the neuron populations that determine the manual dexterity of the macaque monkey. The populations selected for examination are the following: 1. The corticospinal neuron populations 2. The thalamocortical and corticothalamic neuron populations associated with the sensorimotor cortex 3. The ipsilateral cortical connections of the sensorimotor cortex These neuron populations have been chosen because of their obvious rel evance to the directed, intelligent use of the hands, but also because of their anatomical and functional interdependence. Corticospinal neuron populations transmit a complex, orchestrated output from a number of different regions of cerebral cortex to the neuron populations in every segment of the spinal cord, and this output includes the command information defining the intended manual action. The thalamocortical complex is especially concerned with the transmis sion and modulation or filtering of (a) visual, tactile, proprioceptive, vestibular, and auditory information to the cerebral cortex and (b) information from the cerebellum, basal ganglia, limbic system, and brain stem which is relevant to sensorimotor behavior. Finally, the extensive ipsilateral cortical connections constitute a major part of the supraspinal circuitry which coordinates the contri butions of all the cortical neuron popUlations contributing to intelligent sen sorimotor behavior and, in particular, transmits the cross talk between those cortical neuron populations which shape and control the dextrous handling of objects within reach.
Johan P Reyneke's Techniques, Tips, Tricks & Traps Vol 4: Pterygopalatine Ganglion Block

The pterygopalatine ganglion (PPG), often described as the Piccadilly Circus of the Face, is of great importance to anesthesiologists, pain physicians, neurologists and surgeons, and its blockade is becoming more and more popular as our understanding of the cholinergic mechanisms of headache improve. It is also known as the sphenopalatine ganglion, Meckel's ganglion or the Nasal ganglion. Recent publications have shed important light on the neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of this ganglion and its relationship with the trigeminal ganglion, and, more important, its role in the pathophysiology of vascular or primary headaches. This, and the applied macroanatomy, sonoanatomy, surface anatomy and microanatomy of this ganglion have been discussed in much detail in this book, as well as popular techniques of performing the pterygopalatine ganglion block.With over four decades of personal experience researching, practicing, and teaching in the area of acute pain management, Professor Boezaart is highly qualified to bring this in depth resource to the student. Dr. Reyneke holds numerous professorships in Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery internationally, including the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, ZA, University of Florida, US, University of Oklahoma, US, and University of Nacional Aut noma de Mexico, San Salvador, MX.

Raised in a single-parent home by a strong, educated, God-fearing mother, Andre grew up on the South Side of Chicago where he was often surrounded by gang violence and drug dealing. His story is one of loss...loss of a good job, loss of a business, loss of a marriage, and loss of life as he knew it due to alcoholism But that's not where it ends, his story is also one of survival and how he overcame great loss with God, family and the joy of laughter. May his story inspire you to overcome your own Interruptions

A doctor in recovery provides a guided tour through the brain changes, genetics, and psychology that cause addiction... and how to use this information to beat addiction. The Alcoholic / Addict Within is a book that empowers alcoholics and addicts - and those who wish to understand them - with an understanding of the science behind why we become addicted, why we do the things we do, and why it is so difficult to stop.The science is presented in everyday language, and with a sense of humor that makes it a fun read. The information enables a deeper understanding of ourselves and our addiction. It allows those who love us to get a look inside us, and (for once) find an understanding of our disease. Anyone who reads this will never again ask us: "why don't you just stop? ?" They will see first hand that alcoholism / addiction is a disorder of biology and not a failing of morality. They will learn how they can best help us.The 12 Steps are used as a framework for applying the science to recovery. The 12 Step program was chosen because it is remarkably consistent with all aspects of the science of addictions. For those working the 12 Steps or sponsoring others the information will enrich the experience by matching the science to the program. For those who are not involved in that program the information is equally applicable to their own recovery.The science is used to explain the basis of some effects widely experienced by people in recovery: the "insanity" of alcoholism/addiction, the "pink cloud" effect, relapse dreams, hostage-taking, "wet brain," co-dependency, relationships, and obsession. Also addressed are important recovery issues such as self-esteem, coming to terms with past traumas, dealing with anger, finding peace-of-mind, self-forgiveness, and putting a stop to cravings. The question: "do I have an alcoholism / addiction gene, and will I pass it on to my children?" is answered.Also explored are the intimate ties between alcoholism / addiction and mental illness. They are so alike we can barely tell them apart, and so woven together that one can kindle the fire of the other. In fact, it can be very difficult - sometimes impossible - to figure out which came first and brought the other on. Or even to tell them apart. We get to the bottom of this compelling issue that affects well over half of addicts and alcoholics.The book speaks to many audiences. The main audience is alcoholics/addicts and those who wish to help and understand them. Loved ones, teachers, clergy, medical professionals, counsellors and therapists, all will gain insight and understanding.

R is rapidly becoming the standard software for statistical analyses, graphical presentation of data, and programming in the natural, physical, social, and engineering sciences. Getting Started with R is now the go-to introductory guide for biologists wanting to learn how to use R in their research. It teaches readers how to import, explore, graph, and analyse data, while keeping them focused on their ultimate goals: clearly communicating their data in oral presentations, posters, papers, and reports. It provides a consistent workflow for using R that is simple, efficient, reliable, and reproducible. This second edition has been updated and expanded while retaining the concise and engaging nature of its predecessor, offering an accessible and fun introduction to the packages dplyr and ggplot2 for data manipulation and graphing. It expands the set of basic statistics considered in the first edition to include new examples of a simple regression, a one-way and a two-way ANOVA. Finally, it introduces a new chapter on the generalised linear model. Getting Started with R is suitable for undergraduates, graduate students, professional researchers, and practitioners in the biological sciences.
