Abstract:

Inherited homocystinurias have in common accumulation of homocysteine and encompass two distinctive entities: classical homocystinuria due to cystathionine β‎-synthase (CBS) deficiency and the rare inborn errors of cobalamin and folate metabolism. The natural history of CBS deficiency, the subject of this chapter, is well described compared to the other forms of homocystinurias. Untreated patients may be asymptomatic or have one or more of the following symptoms: severe mental handicaps, psychiatric disturbances, ectopia lentis, osteoporosis, Marfanoid habitus, or thromboembolic complications.

Abstract:

Small-fiber neuropathy typically presents with burning pain or with widespread brief stabbing pains, by atypical presentations including asymmetric sensory symptoms are common. Nerve conduction studies are usually normal, as this disorder test only interrogates large fiber function; in small-fiber neuropathy the pathology is restricted to smaller unmyelinated fibers. Autonomic neuropathy can accompany the painful peripheral neuropathy but can be difficult to recognize since the symptoms can be protean. In this chapter, clinical characteristics of small-fiber and autonomic neuropathy are discus

Abstract:

Craniosynostosis is a condition in which one or more of the fibrous sutures in an infant skull fuses prematurely. This may lead to restricted skull and brain growth and elevated intracranial pressure. Many children with craniosynostosis undergo corrective cranioplasty in infancy, an age when the skull is relatively large in proportion to the rest of the body. Depending on the operation, it is common for blood loss to be substantial and exceed the child's estimated blood volume (EBV). Managing this blood loss is challenging and requires careful planning for fluid and blood product administratio

Even Greek oracle, traditionally discussed separately from biblical and Mesopotamian prophecy, is essentially part of the same picture.

Abstract:

Since the ratification of the Treaty of Rome in 1957, the European integration project has been committed to reducing inequalities between member states. However, social inequalities remain high, and public support for the welfare state varies between countries. Some experts have suggested a common European social policy. This chapter analyses recent developments and future prospects at the European Union level. After discussing the initial ambitions of social policy harmonization, it focuses on the role of the EU during the Great Recession by examining the range of policy responses advocated

Abstract:

A wide range of tropical infectious diseases can cause critical illness. Knowledge of the local epidemiology where the disease is acquired is essential. In addition, local resistance patterns of common bacterial pathogens can be very different in tropical countries, so that antibiotic regimens might need adaptation. The ‘surviving sepsis’ guidelines are not always appropriate for the treatment of tropical sepsis. Both diseases require a more restricted fluid management. Leptospirosis is another important tropical disease that can cause sepsis with liver and renal failure or ARDS with pulmonary

After decades of mutual indifference, India’s and Australia’s strategic interests are converging. Both countries share increasing apprehension about China’s rise.

Moreover, their respective partnerships with the United States constrain the development of their bilateral security relations as they feel no need to deviate from their current parallel trajectory.

Second, the deliverances of well confirmed science. Third, and more fundamentally, intuitions about cases, in a carefully specified sense of that term.

In the ischaemic heart early reparative fibrosis evidences the very restricted regenerative potential of the myocardium. In non-ischaemic diseases fibrosis is activated by

Though Nata’s tone system might appear simple, close examination of nouns and verbs uncovers considerable complexity in the system. Nouns exhibit lexically encoded distinctions; verb roots exhibit no lexical distinctions, but inflected verbs differ tonally depending on tense/aspect/mood. The sparse distribution of high tones f

The gold standard for diagnosis and often treatment of GEV is oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD). Management of GEV is divided into primary prophylaxis, acute haemorrhage control, and secondary prophylaxis.

The most common method that US state governments use to restrict access to exemptions from school and daycare vaccine mandates is to provide exemptions only to people who object to vaccination for religious reasons. However, there are moral reasons for states not to prioritize vaccine exemptions for religious objectors. They should also offer personal belief exemptions. Furthermore, states should not try to restrict exemptions by focusing on the reasons (religious or otherwise) that people give for objecting to vaccines.

According to the proposal made in Chapter 4, we use ‘grey’ in ‘The patch looks grey to you’ to refer to a way of looking by quantifying over events.

The author proposes that, as an instance of this general phenomenon, we employ implicit domain restriction when we use ‘grey’ to quantify over events in ‘The patch looks grey to you’. The author uses this to explain various phenomena to do with our use of ‘grey’ and other adjectives in ‘look’ sentences.

The first half of the chapter considers several different interpretations of this constraint and argues that none poses a problem for paternalistic intervention that promotes neutral goods such as health or financial security.

Abstract:

This chapter provides insights into the law on contract formation in Japan. The Japanese approach is traditional, requiring an agreement which, in turn, normally requires an offer and matching acceptance, according to the mirror image rule. Once offers become effective, the 1898 Japanese Civil Code severely restricts their revocability. This is in tune with the mostly German origins of Japanese contract law. However, the drafters of the Code deliberately followed the common law in one respect: the offeree’s acceptance becomes effective as soon as it is dispatched. This is highly controversial

Abstract:

Patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) have arrhythmia-related symptoms or are identified during screening of an affected family. Heart failure symptoms occur late in the disease’s natural history. As strenuous exercise has been associated with disease acceleration and worsening of ventricular arrhythmias, lifestyle modification with restricted athletic activities is recommended upon disease diagnosis or even identification of mutation carrier status. An episode of an haemodynamically unstable, sustained ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation as well

Abstract:

Since the early 1990s, Israel has greatly expanded a system checkpoints, walls and other barriers in the West Bank and Gaza that restrict Palestinian mobility. As a result, such border spaces have become ubiquitous elements of everyday life, with profound political, socio-cultural, and economic effects. Israel/Palestine examines how authors and filmmakers in the West Bank, Gaza, and Israel have grappled with the spread and impact of these borders in the period since the Oslo Accords of 1994. Focusing on novels by Raba’i al-Madhoun, Ghassan Kanafani, Sami Michael and Sayed Kashua, and films by

Abstract:

How are an individual’s ability and motivation to be creative shaped by the world around her? Why does creativity seem to flourish in some environments, while in others it is stifled? Many societies value creativity as an abstract concept and many, perhaps even most, individuals feel an internal drive to be creative; however, tremendous social pressures restrict development of creative skill sets, engagement in creative activities, and willingness to take creative risks. Becoming Creative explores how social and cultural factors enable or inhibit creativity in music. The book integrates perspe

Abstract:

Imaging the urinary tract of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) may assist identifying the cause of acute kidney injury (AKI). By the nature of their illness patients on ICU will often be clinically unstable and this will restrict the choice of imaging. Ultrasound is the most commonly used non-invasive imaging technique used, and is essential for assessing renal anatomy, determining kidney size and the presence of obstruction. New developments hold much promise and there are a number of centres now using this technology. Doppler ultrasonography has become increasingly popular to assess

Abstract:

This chapter considers an unlikely trio of groups who opposed the Evangelical Protestant mainstream in nineteenth-century America: the Unitarians, the Quakers, and the Shakers. Each had to navigate two different forms of dissent: the external and the internal. When deciding how best to revise or contradict the hegemonic forms of Protestantism, these groups had certain goals and methods for interacting with those outside their fellowship. In time, they each also had to face a more pernicious adversary, the second generation of dissenters that grew within their own ranks. While these disparate t
