Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Precision medicine, also known as personalized medicine, is an innovative approach to medical treatment and diagnosis that takes into account individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle for each person. In the context of cancer, precision medicine aims to tailor medical care to the specific genetic and molecular characteristics of each patient's tumor. This allows for more targeted and effective treatments, minimizing side effects and improving outcomes. The first step in precision medicine, especially in oncology, is represented by an accurate diagnosis, including molecular and genetic data. A comprehensive assessment in molecular pathology includes conventional and more innovative techniques, including polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based approaches, Sanger sequencing, and next-generation sequencing for genomic profiling. Precision medicine relies on the analysis of the patient's genomic information, including the DNA mutations present in their tumor. Genomic profiling helps identify specific genetic alterations that are driving the growth of cancer cells. This information is crucial for selecting targeted therapies that directly interfere with these specific molecular abnormalities. In addition, molecular diagnostics provide:¿ biomarker identification¿ tumor heterogeneity assessmentIn turn, this translates into direct treatment decision support. The information obtained through molecular tests guides oncologists in making more informed decisions about the most appropriate treatments for individual patients. This can include targeted therapies, immunotherapies, or other interventions based on the specific molecular profile of the tumor. Prognostication becomes treatment-specific (prediction) and predictive models can be developed by integrating genetic and molecular data with clinical information, to estimate the likelihood of treatment response, recurrence, and overall prognosis. Overall, molecular pathology has significantly advanced cancer diagnostics and treatment, leading to improved outcomes and a shift toward more personalized and effective care. The integration of molecular diagnostics and genomic information has transformed how cancer is understood and managed, offering new hope for patients and providing oncologists with powerful tools to combat the complexity of the disease.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 284 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Since the Great Recession in 2008, the world has been going through a crisis of democracy that is changing the way we think about politics and society. Nowadays, it is ever more apparent that democracies have limitations and are susceptible to decline. This decline occurred with the expansion of powers of prime ministers and presidents, the increasing hostility against political opponents, the rise of ultra-right parties, and the growing political polarization. This book offers a fresh analysis of countries that have witnessed democratic decline such as Brazil, Mexico, Nigeria, Poland, and Spain. It also looks at examples of democratic innovations such as the use of digital politics (in Brazil and Hungary), the establishment of 'democratic schools' (in Israel), the implementation of parenting norms (in Norway), and the response to domestic violence (in Germany and Iran). In addition, the book helps us learn more about how religion, the party system, and the growth of renewable resources affect democratic politics.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 284 pp. Englisch.
