Adeno-Associated Virus: Methods and Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology #807)

Today, progress in rAAV-mediated gene transfer is so robust that long-term, efficient, and regulatable transgene expression is reproducibly achieved in large animal models. The complexity of gene transfer agents in the context of their clinical use requires investigators from a wide variety of backgrounds to have an understanding -- or at least an appreciation of -- the regulatory environment and constraints that affect vector design, manufacturing, pre-clinical testing, and clinical use, with an emphasis on patient protection. In Adeno-Associated Virus: Methods and Protocols, experts from the United States and Europe have contributed current knowledge of this multi-dimensional field relating to the biology of AAV, rAAV vector design, vector manufacturing and product testing, performance of rAAV vectors in major organs, rAAV-related immunological issues, design of animal and clinical studies, and clinical experience. Written in the successful Methods in Molecular BiologyTM series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and accessible, Adeno-Associated Virus: Methods and Protocols provides a complete and comprehensive understanding of this multi-disciplinary and rapidly progressing field.

Adenosine: A Key Link between Metabolism and Brain Activity

Homeostasis of key metabolites and metabolic health affects all bodily systems. Not surprisingly, altered metabolic function is associated with a wide spectrum of dysfunctions in the central nervous system - including developmental disorders, acute nervous system injury, and neurodegenerative disorders. Accordingly, metabolism-based therapies offer significant promise as new category of treatment options designed to limit, delay or reverse the disease process by reconstructing homeostatic functions. Increasingly it is appreciated that restoring metabolic health could promote normal nervous system activity, and improve behavior and cognition. Adenosine: A Key Link Between Metabolism and Central Nervous System Activity focusses on diverse aspects of adenosine, an evolutionarily conserved homeostatic bioenergetic regulator in the central nervous system. Because of its interrelationship with ATP (adenosine triphosphate), adenosine is integral to cell metabolism. At the same time, adenosine influences neuronal activity directly via receptors, and is involved in biochemical processes related to gene expression. Thus, adenosine is uniquely placed as a reciprocal and rapid link between changes in metabolism and changes in neuronal activity, and, on a longer time scale, to changes in gene expression and long term changes in cell function. Leaders in the field feature basic research on adenosine at the cellular level in the central nervous system, and relate these findings to its recognized potential in diverse acute and chronic disorders. This comprehensive overview of adenosine also highlights emerging adenosine-based treatments and associated opportunities for central nervous system disorders.

ADHD and Me: What I Learned From Lighting Fires at the Dinner Table

From being tied down to a kitchen chair by a frustrated babysitter, to foiling bullies, and launching rockets into neighbors' swimming pools, the stories from Blake Taylor's life with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are at times hilarious, poignant, and instructive. This eminently readable memoir sheds light on what it's like for a young person to grow up with, and suffer from, and ultimately learn to harness this common condition.

The ADHD Book

Many experts say that, conservatively, well over six million children have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. With the mounting pressure placed on parents to pursue a diagnosis and medicate hyperactive children, the urgency of life-changing decisions can weigh heavily on the whole family. Conflicting advice bombards parents from all sides-often leaving families more confused and anxious than before. The AD/HD Book seeks to quell fears and rationally addresses nearly one hundred common questions and concerns to help parents make sense of the information chaos. Beth Ann Hill, herself a mother and educator of AD/HD children, clearly explains the basics of AD/HD and lays out its complexities. She logically takes parents from symptoms, diagnoses and tests, medication, a treatment strategy designed to combine medical treatment, and special parenting techniques to break through problem behaviors. Whether readers browse through the question-and-answer format or read from start to finish, they will come to: - understand the biological causes of AD/HD - get the facts on prescription drugs - cope with AD/HD's emotional impact on family and friends - find comfort in real-life examples of challenges and their solutions With the help of pediatric AD/HD specialist Dr. James Van Haren, Hill also develops unique strategies for teaching social and coping skills to children-and for having fun in the process. She includes worksheets, charts, daily planners, and more to help kids grow into adulthood with the tools to lead successful and productive lives.

Adherence to Pediatric Medical Regimens (Issues in Clinical Child Psychology)

It used to be called noncompliance, and the patients themselves referred to as difficult. But regardless of the terminology, children's reluctance or failure to commit to prescribed regimens reduces the effectiveness of treatment, often leading to additional care, higher costs, and serious, even deadly, complications. Reflecting a single, authoritative voice, the Second Edition of Adherence to Pediatric Medical Regimens analyzes in comprehensive clinical detail the factors that affect children's and teens' commitment to treatment - from developmental issues to the influence of parents, peers, and others in their orbit - and offers empirically sound guidelines for encouraging adherence. It cautions against viewing young clients as miniature grownups or scaling down adult data, advocating instead for a more nuanced understanding of the population and a collaborative relationship between practitioner and client. Critical areas of interest to clinicians and researchers in pediatrics are brought into clear focus as the book: Provides an overview of adherence rates to chronic and acute disease regimens and examines common adherence problems in children and adolescents. Details consequences of nonadherence and correlates of adherence. Critiques major adherence theories and their clinical implications. Discusses the range of adherence assessment measures. Reviews educational, behavioral and other strategies for improving adherence. Offers ways to translate research into pediatric medical adherence. This updated edition of Adherence to Pediatric Medical Regimens is an essential reference for anyone concerned with improving health outcomes in young people, especially clinicians, researchers, and graduate students in psychiatry as well as pediatric, clinical child, and health psychology.

Adiós a la migraña: Porque debemos tratarla, aunque no tenga cura

Entiende tu dolor de cabeza y descubre cómo tratarlo de la mano de uno de los neurólogos más reconocidos de nuestro país. Históricamente, la medicina ha centrado sus esfuerzos en patologías graves y potencialmente mortales. Sin embargo, hay enfermedades en apariencia inofensivas que igualmente pueden minar la vida de quien las padece. Este es el caso de las cefaleas, uno de los trastornos más habituales del sistema nervioso. De hecho, se estima que cerca de la mitad de la población mundial sufre o ha sufrido dolor de cabeza en algún momento de su vida. Hay más de ciento cincuenta tipos de cefaleas, con distintas causas, formas e intensidades, y algunos de ellos, como la migraña, pueden llegar a ser del todo incapacitantes en el día a día de una persona. Por ello, es importante conocerlos, identificarlos y darles la importancia que merecen.El doctor Jesús Porta-Etessam, especialista en neurología y patologías asociadas al sistema nervioso, nos acerca las claves para enfrentarnos a ellos y mejorar nuestra calidad de vida. Y nos ayuda, al fin, a arrojar algo de luz sobre un tema que afecta a tanta gente y sobre el que aún planean tantas incógnitas. Los primeros lectores comentan:«Cinco millones de personas padecen migrañas en nuestro país, el 12% de la población. Está considerada la enfermedad neurológica más frecuente y una de las más incapacitantes, sin embargo, las personas que la padecen han de enfrentarse no solo a los fuertes dolores de cabeza sino a la limitación que esto supone en su vida cotidiana y a la incomprensión social. El nuevo libro del doctor Jesús Porta, Adiós a la migraña, explica de una manera clara y con un lenguaje cercano en qué consiste esta enfermedad para que la sociedad entienda realmente el sufrimiento de las personas que la padecen y contribuyamos entre todos a un mundo más justo».Mara Torres (SER) «Un libro esencial para comprender una enfermedad que nos puede acompañar casi toda la vida y que afecta a más del 10% de la población. Un libro que habla de futuro y de nuevos tratamientos llenos de esperanza. En definitiva, se trata de mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes».Manolo HH (RNE)«Convivir con la migraña es un sinvivir, un malvivir... un sobrevivir. Nadie dijo que fuera fácil, pero tampoco imposible. El avance de la ciencia en su conocimiento es como el rayo que no cesa, donde nosotros, los pacientes -de padecer, pero también de no impacientarnos-, depositamos cada día la esperanza de dar con fármacos que consigan disminuir la intensidad y la periodicidad de nuestras incapacitantes crisis de dolor, ese lamentable epicentro de nuestras vidas. Después de más de treinta años rezando por vivir menos pero mejor, he visto la luz gracias a la perseverante búsqueda de un tratamiento 'ad hoc'. El camino ha sido largo y extenuante, pero nada ha merecido más la pena: por fin puedo decir que el cambio a mejor no es ya sólo una opción, sino una realidad».Raquel Martínez (Informativos RTVE)
