DEVELOPED UNDER THE SHADOWS of the Egyptian temples, Hellenistic astrology is an ancient form of divination inherited from Mesopotamian wisdom traditions. Distilled in Græco-Roman antiquity, and refined in the fires of philosophy and astronomy, it forms the bedrock of traditional western astrology (while also bearing profound similarities to Jyotish or Vedic astrology). Drawing on a body of Greek texts that have remained largely untranslated for almost two-thousand years, Demetra George brings the contemporary practice of astrology back to its ancient roots. Scholar, translator, and practitioner, her work reveals the potent cosmological veins that bear the lifeblood of traditional astrology. Ancient Astrology in Theory and Practice is, in essence, a training manual for the study and practice of Hellenistic astrology. In two volumes, it provides the complete foundations and detailed dynamics of ancient chart-reading techniques. Each volume and each technique is richly illustrated with diagrams, example charts, and practical exercises. Volume 1: Assessing Planetary Condition In ancient cosmology, the planetary divinities symbolised the hierarchy of forces that shape our lives in the sublunary world. Not all planets are created equal in a given nativity, however, and so the first step of the practicing astrologer is to assess the condition of each planet in a chart in order to determine its effectiveness (or lack thereof) in the native’s life. To this end, this volume provides a series of rigorous methods for evaluating the condition of each planet in a birth chart through the lenses of classification (sect, gender, benefic/malefic), signs and rulerships (residences, reception, exaltation, trigons, bounds), the solar phase cycle (speed, direction, visibility, phase, phasis), lunar considerations (course, phases, bonding, nodes, bending, eclipses, prenatal lunation), and aspects (configurations, witnessing, testimony, bonification, maltreatment, adherence, overcoming, rays). Finally, it brings all of these factors together in a powerful synthesis that unlocks the layers of a chart with unrivaled precision.

Témoignage d’estime et d’amitié à Alberto Bondolfi – l’un des pionniers qui ont ouvert la voie à la bioéthique en Suisse – cet ouvrage obéit à l’exigence d’apporter un éclairage interdisciplinaire sur les questions centrales du débat éthico-politique contemporain. Il offre une vision d’ensemble des approches de la réflexion normative appliquée au domaine du vivant. Ce questionnement se décline selon trois axes : le premier interroge le statut de la discipline, sa place au carrefour des sciences médicales et biologiques. Le deuxième se concentre sur les problèmes du passage de la norme à son application dans un champ pratique déterminé, par exemple celui de la mort assistée, de la recherche sur l’homme; du don d’organes; de la procréation médicalement assistée. Le troisième explore quelques formes de l’institutionnalisation de la bioéthique au niveau juridique et politique. Alberto Bondolfi hat wesentlich zur Entwicklung der bioethischen Reflexion in der Schweiz beigetragen. Die Festschrift will seine Pionierarbeit würdigen und dokumentieren. Primäres Anliegen dieses Sammelbands ist, durch die Erschliessung der bioethischen Fachdiskussion Anregungen und Impulse für die aktuelle öffentliche Debatte zu geben. Im ersten Teil wird die Bioethik als wissenschaftliche Disziplin systematisch erschlossen und terminologisch von anderen Bereichsethiken abgegrenzt. Der zweite Teil befasst sich mit der Frage der Anwendung von bioethischen Theorien auf konkrete Handlungsbereiche (z.B. Sterbehilfe, Forschung am Menschen, Organspende, medizinisch assistierte Fortpflanzung usw.). Der dritte Teil ist schliesslich der rechtlichen und politischen Institutionalisierung von bioethischen Prinzipien gewidmet. Testimonianza di stima ed amicizia per Alberto Bondolfi – uno dei pionieri della bioetica in Svizzera – quest’opera obbedisce all’esigenza di fornire un approccio interdisciplinare alle questioni centrali del dibattito etico-politico contemporaneo, ed offre una visione d’insieme della riflessione normativa applicata alla sfera del vivente (in particolar modo alla biomedicina). Questa riflessione si declina secondo tre grandi assi: il primo concerne lo statuto della disciplina, il suo posizionamento al crocevia delle scienze mediche e biologiche. Il secondo si concentra sui problemi posti dall’applicazione di una norma ad un settore pratico determinato, come ad esempio quello dell’aiuto al suicidio, della ricerca sull’uomo; del dono d’organi; della diagnosi prenatale. Il terzo esplora alcune forme d’istituzionalizzazione della bioetica in ambito giuridico e politico.

Cytogenetics is the study of chromosome morphology, structure, pathology, function, and behavior. The field has evolved to embrace molecular cytogenetic changes, now termed cytogenomics. Cytogeneticists utilize an assortment of procedures to investigate the full complement of chromosomes and/or a targeted region within a specific chromosome in metaphase or interphase. Tools include routine analysis of G-banded chromosomes, specialized stains that address specific chromosomal structures, and molecular probes, such as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and chromosome microarray analysis, which employ a variety of methods to highlight a region as small as a single, specific genetic sequence under investigation. The AGT Cytogenetics Laboratory Manual, Fourth Edition offers a comprehensive description of the diagnostic tests offered by the clinical laboratory and explains the science behind them. One of the most valuable assets is its rich compilation of laboratory-tested protocols currently being used in leading laboratories, along with practical advice for nearly every area of interest to cytogeneticists. In addition to covering essential topics that have been the backbone of cytogenetics for over 60 years, such as the basic components of a cell, use of a microscope, human tissue processing for cytogenetic analysis (prenatal, constitutional, and neoplastic), laboratory safety, and the mechanisms behind chromosome rearrangement and aneuploidy, this edition introduces new and expanded chapters by experts in the field. Some of these new topics include a unique collection of chromosome heteromorphisms; clinical examples of genomic imprinting; an example-driven overview of chromosomal microarray; mathematics specifically geared for the cytogeneticist; usage of ISCN's cytogenetic language to describe chromosome changes; tips for laboratory management; examples of laboratory information systems; a collection of internet and library resources; and a special chapter on animal chromosomes for the research and zoo cytogeneticist. The range of topics is thus broad yet comprehensive, offering the student a resource that teaches the procedures performed in the cytogenetics laboratory environment, and the laboratory professional with a peer-reviewed reference that explores the basis of each of these procedures. This makes it a useful resource for researchers, clinicians, and lab professionals, as well as students in a university or medical school setting.,Die Zyto- oder Zellgenetik untersucht die Morphologie, Struktur, Pathologie, Funktion und das Verhalten von Chromosomen. Entstanden ist dieses Teilgebiet der Genetik, um zytogenetische Veränderungen auf Molekularebene abzubilden. Heute spricht man in diesem Zusammenhang von der Zellgenomik. Zellgenetiker greifen auf eine ganze Reihe von Verfahren zurück, um Chromosomen und/oder eine Zielregion eines bestimmten Chromosom in der Meta- oder Interphase zu untersuchen. Zu den Tools gehören Routineanalysen von Chromosomen (G-Banding), spezielle Stains für bestimmte Chromosomenstrukturen und molekulare Sonden, z. B. im Bereich der Fluoreszenz-in-situ-Hybridisierung (FISH) sowie der Chromosomenanalyse auf Microarray-Basis. Zum Einsatz kommen eine Vielzahl von Methoden, um eine zu untersuchenden Region hervorzuheben, der so klein ist, wie eine einzige, spezifische Gensequenz.

Until the beginning of this century music therapy in neonatal care has been underestimated within music therapy. However, in the last ten years it has become an important and serious area of work and research worldwide. Since the first edition of this book in German and English in 2003 music therapy in neonatal care underwent a significant development. In particularly research coming from other disciplines such as the neurosciences, early development and trauma therapy also in regards to bonding and prevention of developmental disturbances have led to support our work, to widen or modify its clinical practice. These aspects will be covered in this second updated editon. The book is an interdisciplinary piece of work, with contributions of music therapists,medical doctors of different areas, as well as development psychologists and psychotherapists. The content is presented in two parts. The first part deals with basic theories - the treatment concept, NIDCAP, with regard to hearing development, current research on auditive development, and the attachment formation with these very low birth weight infants. The following two chapters, dealing with psychological significance of musical elements: the meaning of the mother’s voice from the onset of prenatal life and the significance of music therapy for the development of regulative factors in mother-infant relationships, lead to the second clinical part. The second part presents an overview of individual music therapy approaches in research and clinical practice, qualitative and quantitative research with functional and psychotherapeutical aspects, using a wide palette of music and/or musical elements. In addition, the author elected to stress the benefits of music and music therapy as supportive method in medical problems, as an early intervention for the long term development of hospitalized infants and as a support for their parents. It is my objective to present these various approaches which support the clientele and current research methodology: music therapy approaches focused on the development of the infant, relationships and bonding and the infant’s unfolding ability to communicate. Each chapter contains research as well as clinical practice and personel experience, offering practical advice for implementing music therapy in NICUs. This book will hopefully meet the needs of various professionals in obtaining theoretical and practice-oriented information, support music therapy students, music therapists working in NICUs, and encourage doctors, nurses, and parents to use the benefits of music in these professional modes.

A nationally recognized expert offers a searing exposé of Big Pharma and the American healthcare system’s zeal for excessive medical testing. More screening doesn’t lead to better health—but can turn healthy people into patients. Going against the conventional wisdom reinforced by the medical establishment and Big Pharma that more screening is the best preventative medicine, Dr. Gilbert Welch builds a compelling counterargument that what we need are fewer, not more, diagnoses. Documenting the excesses of American medical practice that labels far too many of us as sick, Welch examines the social, ethical, and economic ramifications of a health-care system that unnecessarily diagnoses and treats patients, most of whom will not benefit from treatment, might be harmed by it, and would arguably be better off without screening. Drawing on 25 years of medical practice and research on the effects of medical testing, Welch explains in a straightforward, jargon-free style how the cutoffs for treating a person with “abnormal” test results have been drastically lowered just when technological advances have allowed us to see more and more “abnormalities;” many of which will pose fewer health complications than the procedures that ostensibly cure them. Citing studies that show that 10% of 2,000 healthy people were found to have had silent strokes, and that well over half of men over age sixty have traces of prostate cancer but no impairment, Welch reveals overdiagnosis to be rampant for numerous conditions and diseases, including diabetes, high cholesterol, osteoporosis, gallstones, abdominal aortic aneuryisms, blood clots, as well as skin, prostate, breast, and lung cancers. With genetic and prenatal screening now common, patients are being diagnosed not with disease but with “pre-disease” or for being at “high risk” of developing disease. Revealing the economic and medical forces that contribute to overdiagnosis, Welch makes a reasoned call for change that would save us from countless unneeded surgeries, excessive worry, and exorbitant costs, all while maintaining a balanced view of both the potential benefits and harms of diagnosis. Drawing on data, clinical studies, and anecdotes from his own practice, Welch builds a solid, accessible case against the belief that more screening always improves health care.

Seguramente no has llegado a esta página por casualidad. Lo más probable es que tu pareja y tú estéis viviendo en un bucle de cansancio permanente y os paséis el día con los nervios a flor de piel. Los gritos y llantos del niño os desesperan. De alguna manera, tenéis la sensación de haber fracasado como padres. Os gustaría tener la sensación de que vuestra vida recupera algo parecido a la normalidad. No te preocupes; no sois los únicos. Cientos de miles de padres de todo el mundo se encuentran en la misma situación. Lo más increíble es que la clave para que el bebé concilie el sueño siempre ha estado delante de tus ojos, pero no sabías cómo usarla. A partir de mañana, vuestro hijo conciliará el sueño en un instante y dormirá sin despertarse. Podréis volver a invitar a los amigos a casa y dedicar más tiempo a vuestra relación de pareja. Las ojeras desaparecerán y tendréis energía para jugar alegremente con el niño. ¿De verdad es posible? ¿Sin consultas carísimas ni remedios milagrosos? Lo que os voy a contar ahora no tiene nada que ver con nada de lo que hayas podido leer antes sobre este tema. Desde 2002 hemos ayudado a muchísimas personas; algunas llevaban semanas sin pegar ojo y estaban al borde de la resignación y la desesperación más absolutas. La clave para que vuestro hijo concilie el sueño se basa en el equilibrio entre la sobreestimulación y la ausencia de estimulación. ¿Qué significa esto exactamente? Para que el bebé se relaje, no debéis exponerlo a una cantidad excesiva de estímulos cuando se vaya a dormir, pero tampoco a una cantidad demasiado baja. Si los estímulos son demasiados, el niño se sentirá abrumado y la sobreestimulación lo acompañará durante toda la noche. En cambio, si os rendís y elimináis todos los estímulos a la hora de dormir, el bebé percibirá hasta el más leve movimiento que se produzca a su alrededor y lo convertirá rápidamente en su centro de atención. Según las investigaciones, la clave para que un bebé duerma plácidamente se encuentra exactamente en el PUNTO INTERMEDIO entre la sobreestimulación y la ausencia de estimulación. Esto nos lleva a la estimulación monótona a través de la resonancia de audio. ¿Cómo funciona la «estimulación monótona»? Amplios estudios científicos demuestran que determinados mundos sonoros que tienen una gama de frecuencias muy precisa ayudan a conciliar el sueño a casi todos los niños pequeños. Se trata de sonidos monótonos, similares a las percepciones del feto en el vientre materno, que tienen un efecto neurológico; su ritmo, tempo y dinámica están sintonizados exactamente con la actividad cerebral y las experiencias prenatales del bebé. Llevamos muchos años estudiando el principio que sustenta esta experiencia y lo hemos ido mejorando a lo largo del tiempo en colaboración con parejas afectadas por este problema. Mientras tanto, más de 150.000 padres y madres han pasado a formar parte de nuestra comunidad de usuarios. Todos ellos contribuyen al éxito y la eficacia de nuestro método basado en las frecuencias; su aportación consiste en informarnos periódicamente sobre sus experiencias, en las que nos apoyamos para realizar nuestro trabajo. Una investigación exhaustiva que, en última instancia, está en el origen del éxito. ¿QUÉ SIGNIFICA ESTO PARA VOSOTROS? Dentro de poco estaréis hablando a otros padres, con una gran sonrisa en el rostro, de un método sencillo y barato que os ha ayudado a resolver el problema de sueño de vuestro hijo. Os prometemos que este programa funciona. Probadlo hoy mismo; no tiene ningún riesgo. Si no estáis COMPLETAMENTE satisfechos, recuperaréis todo vuestro dinero. NO HAY NINGUNA RAZÓN PARA NO HACERLO. ¿A qué estáis esperando?
