Understand the emergence and progress of zoonotic diseases Veterinary epidemiology is the study of the connection between animal exposure to chemical or disease agents and the observation of adverse effects. Veterinary epidemiologists observe the patterns by which diseases emerge in a population and play a crucial role in controlling emerging disease outbreaks and preventing infections. The major factors in environmental hygiene which have a tendency to produce disease and adverse health effects in animals require extensive study and play a potentially massive role in public health. Epidemiology and Environmental Hygiene in Veterinary Public Health provides a one-stop reference for professionals in this vital field. Its exploration of environmental illnesses and pollutants in combination with biological disease vectors has no current rivals in the marketplace. With readable design and coverage of all major factors of epidemiological significance, the volume offers a unique contribution to the control of animal disease. Epidemiology and Environmental Hygiene in Veterinary Public Health readers will also find: Schematic overview of the fundamentals of environmental hygiene and epidemiologyDetailed discussion of topics including etiological factors, preventative and control strategies, major disease agents, and many moreColor figures, line figures, and tables to illustrate key concepts Epidemiology and Environmental Hygiene in Veterinary Public Health is ideal for all professionals and researchers in animal epidemiology and environmental hygiene, as well as for farm managers, agricultural veterinarians, and other professionals involved in large-scale animal care.

GASTROINTESTINAL ONCOLOGY Blends quality research findings with advanced educational techniques in a uniquely comprehensive approach Written and edited by leading international experts in the field, Gastrointestinal Oncology: A Critical Multidisciplinary Team Approach is an indispensable reference for clinicians, medical practitioners, and trainees involved in the investigation, diagnosis, and treatment of esophageal, gastric, intestinal, colonic, hepatobiliary, pancreatic, and other gastrointestinal tumors. Drawing on the most current evidence-based knowledge, this comprehensive resource reflects the current care of GI cancer patients, enabling effective clinical decision making and patient management. Setting the standard in clinical practice, Gastrointestinal Oncology remains the only truly multidisciplinary reference designed for the diverse team of clinicians responsible for different stages of cancer treatment. Specially structured clinical chapters, each representing a different role in the multidisciplinary team (MDT), allow clear presentation and quick reference of the contents. This is supported by a wealth of high-quality color photographs, line drawings, and diagrams. Now in its second edition, this authoritative reference is fully updated to reflect groundbreaking research in multiple medical fields, including the explorative use of A.I. New sections on palliative care and nutrition are accompanied by new sub-sections on molecular characterization, new targeted small molecule, receptor options, and immunological therapies for each cancer. This edition places renewed emphasis on the most ubiquitous conditions, such as colon cancer, liver cancer, and gastro-esophageal cancer. Covering the oncology of the entire gastrointestinal tract, Gastrointestinal Oncology: A Critical Multidisciplinary Team Approach is a must-have reference for the entire MDT, including gastroenterologists, hepatologists, GI surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation therapists, interventional radiologists, pathologists, nutritionists, palliative care and specialist nurses, as well as clinical scientists.

TEXTBOOK OF VON WILLEBRAND DISEASE Comprehensive resource summarizing recent research on von Willebrand disease, showing clinicians how to optimize management of patients with this disorder The newly revised and updated second edition of Textbook of von Willebrand Disease: Basic and Clinical Aspects, 2nd edition describes the important and complex role of von Willebrand factor (VWF) in hemostasis and thrombosis, covering not only the current understanding of its molecular biology, but also the association between genetic variants of VWF and different von Willebrand disease (VWD) phenotypes. The text also reviews the important area of the obstetric and gynecological manifestations of VWD, as well as how to manage patients with VWD for surgery. Many advances in agents are included in this updated edition, as well as the wide topics such as VWF in Angiogenesis, and VWF/ADAMTS13 as risk factors of thrombosis. Edited by a team of experts in VWD and an international team of contributors, Textbook of von Willebrand Disease covers sample topics such as: VWF structure and function, biosynthesis and organization of VWF, modulation of VWF by ADAMTS13 and assessment of VWF clearance Clinical, laboratory and molecular markers of different VWD types, from the mild forms of type 1 VWD and the moderate variants types 2A, 2B, 2M, 2N to the most severe type 3 VWD Pediatric aspects of VWD and of women with VWD Management of GI bleeds and appropriate therapies in surgery, and plasma-derived and recombinant VWF concentrates Acquired von Willebrand Syndrome, cardiovascular causes of AVWS, gastrointestinal bleeds in VWD and AVWS, and prophylaxis in von Willebrand disease Providing complete and accessible coverage of the subject, Textbook of von Willebrand Disease: Basic and Clinical Aspects, 2nd edition is a valuable resource for hematologists in practice and in training, along with specialists in thrombosis, hemostasis, and bleeding/clotting disorders.

Shakespeare's Theatre: A History examines the theatre spaces used by William Shakespeare, and explores these spaces in relation to the social and political framework of the Elizabethan era. The text journeys from the performing spaces of the provincial inns, guild halls and houses of the gentry of the Bard's early career, to the purpose-built outdoor playhouses of London, including the Globe, the Theatre, and the Curtain, and the royal courts of Elizabeth and James I. The author also discusses the players for whom Shakespeare wrote, and the positioning--or dispositioning--of audience members in relation to the stage.Widely and deeply researched, this fascinating volume is the first to draw on the most recent archaeological work on the remains of the Rose and the Globe, as well as continuing publications from the Records of Early English Drama project. The book also explores the contentious view that the 'plot' of The Seven Deadly Sins (part II), provides unprecedented insight into the working practices of Shakespeare's company and includes a complete and modernized version of the 'plot'. Throughout, the author relates the practicalities of early modern playing to the evolving systems of aristocratic patronage and royal licensing within which they developedInsightful and engaging, Shakespeare's Theatre is ideal reading for undergraduates, postgraduates, and scholars of literature and theatre studies.
