Abstract:

The chapter on teratogenic medication examines key clinical considerations for evaluating and treating reproductive-aged women on therapies with high reproductive risk factors. Physicians should frequently reexamine the appropriateness of using potentially harmful therapies in their patient population. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently revised the “Pregnancy and Lactation Labeling Rule” to assist providers in evaluating drug risks to pregnant or nursing mothers. Reproductive-aged women on anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) might experience challenges related to medication noncompli

Abstract:

Increased appetite and weight gain represent a significant problem related with particular antipsychotic drugs, antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and—to a lesser extent—anxiolytic drugs. Psychotropic drug-induced weight gain may contribute to obesity-related metabolic changes and pathological conditions such as dyslipidaemia, type-2-diabetes and hypertension—summarized as the metabolic syndrome—with an increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Interestingly, psychotropic drugs are also used for the treatment of diabetes-related complications. For example, antidepressants are

Abstract:

The American West at Risk summarizes the dominant human-generated environmental challenges in the 11 contiguous arid western United States - America's legendary, even mythical, frontier. When discovered by European explorers and later settlers, the west boasted rich soils, bountiful fisheries, immense, dense forests, sparkling streams, untapped ore deposits, and oil bonanzas. It now faces depletion of many of these resources, and potentially serious threats to its few "renewable" resources. The importance of this story is that preserving lands has a central role for protecting air and water qu

If knowledge does not create a sustained and unified sense of organizational self (skepticism is rife) then strategic inquiry can turn to vision, a move advocated by Henry Mintzberg amongst others.

Wells as an indicative and provocative example of an organizational attempt to present its own form to itself and others. The risks associated with propaganda and dogmatic assertion are discussed, as are the strategy documents by which many modern organizations attempt to instil an equ

This chapter reanalyzes data concerning the 2011 riots in Greater London. The authors extended prior work in a number of directions, using variables more representative of the areas in which rioting took place, using smaller geographical units of analysis, and extending the analysis to examine the role of risky facilities. The results show support for crime pattern and social disorganization theories, as well as the precipitating influence of crowds, in explaining rioter decision-making. In addition, it is shown that different types of facilities appear to have different influences on the spat

In 1998, archaeologists discovered the first of sixteen Roman shipwrecks at San Rossore, Pisa, 500 m from the leaning tower.

The grand vision of three interconnected institutions became an obstacle in itself: in the absence of an administrative culture that was able to bring projects “down to earth,” the universalist and utopian tendencies of prof

Before the era of antiretroviral therapy (ART), cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis was the most common ocular opportunistic infection in patients with AIDS, occurring in up to 30% of patients. The incidence of CMV retinitis, its natural history, and the indications for and response to therapy depend in part on whether at-risk patients are taking ART. Symptoms of CMV retinitis are nonspecific and include floaters, light flashes, peripheral visual field loss, and blurred central vision. Patients taking ART, especially those with immune recovery, are at lower risk of CMV retinitis than are patients

This creates a paradox: Western war risks killing those it proposes to protect. This book examines how we have responded to this dilemma and challenges the vision of ethical war itself.
