Übertriebene Verantwortlichkeit und psychische Störungen: Behandlungsleitfaden für Psychotherapie und Beratung (Psychotherapie: Praxis)
by Nils SpitzerDas Buch informiert darüber, wie eine individuell stark ausgeprägte Verantwortlichkeit psychisch belasten kann und mit welchen Interventionen Psychotherapeut:innen und Berater:innen das hypervalente Verantwortungsgefühl wieder ausgeglichener gestalten können. Es versucht die Rolle übertriebener Verantwortlichkeit bei psychischen Störungen deutlich zu machen, stellt wichtige therapeutische Ansatzpunkte vor und bietet konkrete Interventionen dafür. Das Thema Verantwortung hat seit einigen Jahren Konjunktur. Alle Bürger sollen immer mehr Verantwortung übernehmen – für das Klima, die eigene Altersabsicherung und vieles mehr. Die dunkle Kehrseite der Verantwortung wird dabei häufig außer Acht gelassen: Eine übertriebene Verantwortlichkeit kann auch krank machen. Zwangsstörung, soziale Phobie, Depression, generalisierte Angststörung, Hypochondrie, Psychose: Übertriebene Verantwortung ist dabei, als wichtiger transdiagnostischer Faktor wahrgenommen zu werden. Aus dem Inhalt: Mögliche Ursachen übertriebener Verantwortlichkeit – Gesellschaftlicher Hintergrund – Psychische Folgen – Therapieziele – Exploration – Interventionen. Über den Autor: Nils Spitzer ist Psychologischer Psychotherapeut (kognitive Verhaltenstherapie) in freier Praxis, Dozent psychotherapeutischer Ausbildungsinstitute, Autor von Büchern, zahlreichen Artikeln und Mitherausgeber der Zeitschrift für Rational-Emotive & Kognitive Verhaltenstherapie (2010-2020). Neben Psychologie hat er Soziologie und Literaturwissenschaft studiert.
The Ubiquitin Proteasome System: Methods And Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology #1844)
by Gary Kleiger Thibault Mayor“This volume explores numerous techniques used to study the ubiquitin proteasome system. The chapters in this book are organized into five parts and cover topics such as determining the mechanisms of action for E2s, E3s, and DUB enzymes; the latest advances to study the formation of poly-ubiquitin chains as well as their linkage types; the binding partners of proteins in the UPS; methods for structure determination by x-ray crystallography, cryo electron microscopy and SAXS; screening assays to select for degrons or modulators of E3s and DUBs; proteomics approaches in the ubiquitin field and methods to study 26S proteasome function. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Thorough and authoritative, The Ubiquitin Proteasome System: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for both experienced and novice scientists who are interested in expanding their knowledge in this field.
The Ubiquitin System in Health and Disease
by Stefan Jentsch Bernhard HaendlerThe ubiquitin system plays an essential role in numerous cellular processes by controlling protein stability and function. A deregulation of this system has been reported in various pathologies including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and immune disorders. Most of the enzymes involved in adding or removing ubiquitin chains have been identified, but often their direct substrate and the type of ubiquitylation remains to be clarified. A better understanding of the mechanisms governing these processes is likely to allow the identification of novel targets for pharmacological intervention and pave the way for improved therapies. The latest developments in this rapidly moving field are presented in this book.

Übungsbehandlungstechniken und -methoden in der Physiotherapie: Überblick über gängige Therapieansätze bei muskuloskelettalen Erkrankungen (essentials)
by Paul GeraedtsPaul Geraedts führt in diesem essential in die wichtigsten Übungsbehandlungsmethoden der Physiotherapie ein. Der Autor betrachtet den aktuellen Stellenwert der medizinischen Übungsbehandlung im gesamten Behandlungsspektrum der Physiotherapie und gibt einen Ausblick auf eine inhaltliche Weiterentwicklung der medizinischen Übungsbehandlung im Rahmen der derzeitigen Akademisierung der Physiotherapie. Alternative passive kurative Verfahren wie manuelle Techniken, alternative Medizin und die immer noch zunehmenden Wirbelsäulen- und Gelenkoperationen drohen immer mehr, die Bewegungstherapie zu verdrängen. Dennoch konnten sich in Deutschland viele Übungsbehandlungsmethoden etablieren, womit sowohl die wichtige Rolle von Bewegung bei der Behandlung als auch bei der Prävention von Rückenbeschwerden für alle Altersgruppen bestätigt wird.

The Ulnar Nerve
by Giuliano Gentili Mario Di NapoliThis book systematically reviews sensory and motor nerve conduction studies on the ulnar nerve, from pilot human studies of peripheral nerve conduction in the 1950s through to the most recent scientific evidence. Precise descriptions are provided of approx. 70 nerve conduction techniques that were reproduced in the laboratory, with organization of the techniques according to practical criteria for ease of reference. Particular attention is devoted to those techniques that have shown higher sensitivity and specificity in diagnosis of compressive mononeuropathies, such as ulnar neuropathy at the elbow or wrist. Normal and pathological values derived from the original articles and the subsequent literature are presented, and the wealth of illustrative material facilitates comprehension and reproduction of each technique. The volume is completed by a detailed, well-illustrated glossary explaining the more commonly used terms in electrodiagnostic medicine. This book will appeal to novice and experienced neurologists, students, clinical neurophysiology technicians, and rehabilitation physicians. It represents a logical extension of the volumes on the median nerve recently published by Springer.
The Ultimate Enhancement of Morality (SpringerBriefs in Ethics)
by Vojin RakićThis book deals with good, evil, happiness and morally enhanced post-humans. It offers a succinct historical elaboration of philosophical stances towards morality and happiness, focusing on Kant's ideas in particular. Human augmented ethical maturity in a futuristic version of Kant’s Ethical Commonwealth implies, among else, voluntary moral bio-enhancement (VMBE); consequently, more happiness – as morality and happiness are in a circularly supportive relationship; ultimate morality (UM). UM is in its own way a universal morality. In line with the contention that Kant’s vision of the (not immediate but more distant) future of humanity is one of a cosmopolitan moral order in which humans act virtuously in the broadest possible community, that is, humanity, it is justified to conclude that successful VMBE is conducive to Kant’s vision. In this context the book is of great interest to a broad audience, such as those interested in VMBE and novel conceptions of morality, and those with an interest in the historical development of morality and happiness, in philosophy (specifically, ethics) and in post-humanity.
