Overview: Describes the epidemiology of osteoporotic fractures and their impact on health care costs.Integrates the subject of falls with the one on fractures - widely neglected by most of the textbooks on osteAlthough osteoporosis has been de? ned as “a metabolic bone disease characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue leading to enhanced bone fragility and a consequent increase in fracture risk,” it is not clear that osteoporosis represents a single disease as much as a similar response of bone to different pathophysiologies. In the 1940s Fuller Albrigh

Overview: Direct toepasbare adviezen.Heldere uitleg van de stoornis.Overzicht van de behandelingenZelfbeschadiging is een thema waarop lang een taboe heeft gerust. Gelukkig komt er steeds meer aandacht voor: er wordt beter naar cliënten geluisterd en er wordt onderzoek gedaan naar behandelmethodes en richtlijnen. Het doel van dit boek is het thema nadrukkelijk aandacht te geven in plaats van het te negeren of te bagatelliseren. Het zelfbeschadigende en suïcidale gedrag wordt als uitgangspunt genomen, niet de onderliggende problematiek. De auteurs laten onder andere zien in welke vormen het zel

Overview: Concrete action to end your own conflicts.Understanding what happens to us when we face conflict.Methods to counteract an escalation of conflicts.The topic of spiraling conflict and what happens to us when we are in conflict fascinates everyone equally. The reaction is then thoughtfulness and self-reflection. Everyone has their own conflicts and therefore the topic is close to us. Conflicts are usually stressful and therefore we wish for explanations and ways out..· What dynamics do conflicts take on and how do they develop?.· What happens to us when we enter the spiral of conflict..

Overview: Provides a comprehensive introduction to the mathematical modeling of material design problems.Shows, in a practical example, the interest of introducing a relaxed formulation in an optimization probl.This book aims the optimal design of a material (thermic or electrical) obtained as the mixture of a finite number of original materials, not necessarily isotropic. The problem is to place these materials in such a way that the solution of the corresponding state equation minimizes a certain functional that can depend nonlinearly on the gradient of the state function. This is the main n

Overview: In recent years, considerable progress has been made in the study of organic semiconductors. The main directions of investigation, have been determined and substantial results have been achieved in the theoretical treatment of many questions. However, the range of investigations is so broad that it is impossible to discuss all branches fully in a short monograph. In fact, the chemist synthe­ sizing systems with conjugated bonds and studying their reactivity, the physical chemist studying the catalytic and absorption proper­ ties of substances with conjugated bonds, the physicist stud

Overview: Hallucinations, a natural phenomenon as old as mankind, have a surprisingly wide range. They appear under the most diversified conditions, in the "normal" psyche as well as in severe chronic mental derangement. As a symptom, hallucinations are a potential part of a variety of pathological conditions in almost all kinds of psychotic behavior. In addition, lately, various psychological and sociological circumstances seem to favor widespread use and abuse of hallucinogens, substances able to produce hallucinations in the normal brain. They not rarely lead to serious psychopatho­ logy su
