Marketable permits (or quotas) for emissions of pollutants have proven their effectiveness in controlling sulphur dioxide emissions by U.S. power plants, or for the rapid elimination of lead in gasoline in the 80 in the USA. With regard to greenhouse gas emissions, the European Emission Trading Scheme on stationary installations has been operational since 2005. Is this type of instrument applicable to transportation, considering the nuisances they generate (congestion, noise, air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions)? This book introduces the concept of marketable permits and analyses their relevance for the various nuisances of transportation. It presents some examples of applications and reviews a number of proposals. Potential application areas are identified, with particular developments as regards CO2 emissions from transport.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Drug-induced mucosal damage is of immense importance in gastroenterology. It is imperative that clinicians understand how these lesions come about, what the sometimes devastating consequences are and what can be done to prevent or to treat such calamities. Drug-induced damage is bound to increase in the future as the population ages and polypharmacy becomes the rule instead of the exception. Hopes for improvement were shattered when the long term consequences of COX-2 inhibition became available. Is the COX-1/COX-2 concept truly obsolete? Several issues are discussed by European experts in the second part of the book. What the clinician should know about non acid, weakly acid or biliary reflux is discussed in depth. Novel developments of gastrointestinal neuropathies and motor disorders concentrate on IBS, pseudo-obstruction and faecal incontinence. Our surgical colleagues will certainly be interested in novel minimally invasive procedures. Finally all will learn from a critical analysis of novel diagnostic imaging modalities.

In the early 1950s scientists became aware of the beneficial effects of the Mediterranean diet on health, after a survey carried out in Italy and in Greece that showed for the first time the relationship between diet and one of the highest life expectancies in the world. The main characteristic of the Mediterranean diet is its low lipid and unsaturated fatty acid content, essentially related to the consumption of olive oil. It is also based on the consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables, fish and cereals. This work, addressed to a wide public of professionals working in the field of food -- scientists, physicians, dieticians, public health and prevention policy decision-makers, researchers in agrofood industry -- summarises in detail the basic principles of this simple and balanced diet. This work, co-ordinated by a team of researchers and physicians from the Montpellier agricultural science research centre (Agropolis), broadens the nutrition field and also includes the agricultural production mode and the technologies used in the agrofood industry. It offers an original multidisciplinary approach and proposes a complete synthesis on a fascinating subject for all and sundry.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Over half of epilepsies start before the age of 20 years and nearly 25% of them are refractory. A tiny proportion of them are even labelled a rare illness (ie: one affecting less than 200,000 people in the United States or less than 5 out of 10,000 people in the European Union). For these patients, two problems in their management arise: In children, seizures affect an immature brain and can impact its development. It is therefore essential to treat them so that brain development continues as normally as possible. The rarity of these syndromes does not encourage the pharmaceutical industry to invest in research. Therefore, there are few drugs available. However, a few target syndromes with a particularly unfavourable diagnosis. This work outlines 6 molecules in detail that are specifically used in epileptic encephalopathies. Every aspect of these molecules is discussed, including drug development, indication, efficacy, cost, etc. Drafted by international experts in the field of epileptology, it provides all the necessary information on orphan drugs and their clinical use.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Transplanting hands -- a model of composite tissue grafting -- began in Lyons in November 1998 with the transplant of one hand and then, in January 2000, of two, both with the support of the Merieux Foundation. Advances in immunosuppression made possible some unusual transplants of tissue, such as bones, knee-joints, femurs and larynx. From these stemmed the first attempts to transplant hands. This book looks at the long-term results of reattaching hands that have been accidentally amputated. It reviews all the problems -- technical, immunological, nervous, functional and psychological -- that surgeons encountered during and after the transplants. Surgeons, transplant experts, immunologists, dermatologists, psychiatrists, neurophysiologists, physiotherapists and re-education experts will also find here answers to their ethical and legal questions about removing tissue from donors, as well as information about composite tissue grafts in plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In November 1994, the "Haut Comite de la Santa Publique" published its first general report on health in France. This not only took stock of the state of health of the French population but also raised questions about the organisation of the health system, defined priorities, and suggested objectives and the implementation of a genuine policy for health. What has happened since then? To find out, the HCSP engages in an unprecedented comparative analysis in this book. It studies the changes in the context of the health situation in demographic, economic, social, political and institutional terms and uses indicators to gauge the distance that still has to be covered if the health status objectives set in 1994 are to be attained by the year 2000. This allows it to examine the influence of determinants related to risk behaviours and the physical and professional environment, and to describe their variation. Lastly, starting from a discussion of a few problems concerning the organisation of the health system, it gives an in-depth analysis of the role of certain malfunctions that are specific to the French health situation. Studies the changes in the context of the health situation in France in demographic, economic, social, political and institutional terms.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Adrenal Cortical Carcinoma is classically associated with a dismal prognosis. Yet its clinical presentation is changing (more and more classified as 'incidentaloma'). New insights have emerged on its pathophysiological mechanisms (through the genetic elucidation of familial syndromes), and Reference Centers within National and European Networks are now offering more standardised and efficient multidisciplinary clinical management of these difficult patients. All these important aspects are described by experts in nine chapters dealing with epidemiology, prognosis, and clinical management, pathology, molecular pathophysiological mechanisms, modern imaging approaches, surgical and chemotherapeutical approaches of primary and secondary lesions, and the particular aspects of adrenal cortical carcinoma in children. This book, with its many figures and photographs, will be of major interest to endocrinologists, radiologists and nuclear medicine experts, pathologists, surgeons, oncologists, paediatricians.After a thorough reading, one will better recognise a suspicious adrenal 'incidentaloma', diagnose steroid hypersecretion, suspect a familial disease, consult with the pathologist and surgeon, manipulate difficult drugs like O,p'DDD, participate in multidisciplinary discussions with oncologists, radiotherapeutists, molecular biologists.Modern medicine in action!

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This aim of this book is to look at the dominant representation that at present underpin the issues of territorial organisation and planning in Europe. Cities and networks are often envisaged as inevitably driving territorial development. However, the conceptualisation of European territorial integration has often been reduced to two conventional models: the centre-periphery model and the hierarchical model of urban networks. Limiting territorial integration to these two schema means that integration is limited. Today, reference to polycentric territorial development has to some extent changed the picture. Rather than being viewed in a polarised, pyramidal manner, spatial dynamics are being read in terms of interconnection and reticulation. In addition, reflection on the subject of polycentric territorial strategies has encouraged politicians and spatial planners to include the principle of "territorial cohesion" in the priorities of European public policies.From considerations which associate conceptual approaches and analytical studies, this book makes it possible to understand in what manner polycentrism, viewed as an alternative to metropolisation, could sow the seeds for new readings, at various scales, of the organisation of European territory. The main challenge of this book is to explain why it is worthwhile revisiting some rather too static representations of territorial systems in Europe. The aim is to promote the emergence and the consolidation of new, critical ways of looking at the issues of territorial dynamics. Cities and networks are often envisaged as inevitably driving territorial development.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Dravet syndrome is a rare type of epilepsy and severe. The "severe myoclonic epilepsy in infancy" was described for the first time by Charlotte Dravet in 1978 in Marseille. Common characteristics have been observed: beginning in the first year of life, sensitivity to fever, various types of seizures, including myoclonic, and mental retardation. The following descriptions are then led to the recognition of a true epileptic syndrome. Renzo Guerrini contribute to the understanding of genetic factors and response to antiepileptic drugs. New molecules have emerged since, and studies on cognitive impairment have identified developmental delay. The authors offer a synthesis of Dravet syndrome, including a description of electro-clinical features, which help to better diagnosis. The different therapeutic options are illustrated in the book, which also updates the knowledge of genetics. Although many questions remain in understanding this syndrome, this monograph is a valuable tool for medical practitioners to better care for children with epilepsy.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This opus gathers the answers given by senior epilepsy specialists from all over the world to a standard questionnaire. The interviewees were chosen according to their longstanding international reputation and comprehensive practice of epileptology, in most cases covering periods of four decades and more. This undertaking was a sort of challenge: would it be possible to persuade these famous, experienced individuals to answer questions on epilepsy that at first sight might seem partly serious and partly silly, according to an approach the authors of the questionnaire chose to call a Proustian attitude? It was well worth a try. The acceptance of such written interviews was surprisingly quick and good-spirited. The main objective was, from the very start, to provide younger, less experienced epileptologists with an intimate insight into the bigger questions, coming from people with a cumulative experience of several tens of thousands of patients with epilepsy. All this results in a book that teaches a lot about epileptology in a very original approach. Gathers the answers given by senior epilepsy specialists accross the world to a standard questionnaire.
