The kidney in plasma cell dyscrasias

(點選圖片可預覽部份內容)

簡介(Book Description from Amazon)：
In recent years, the knowledge of how renal damage occurs in patients with plasma cell dyscrasias / myeloma has substantially increased. For the firsttime, this publication brings together issues relating to the diagnosis andpathogenesis of these disorders, as well as a summary of advances achieved in the treatment and management of patients. Several chapters are devoted to various glomerulopathies associated with deposition of immunoglobulin light and heavy chains, including those associated with amyloidosis. The sequential events are pointed out, crucial steps and key molecules open to modulation or control are delineated, and therapeutic advances are highlighted. Although the emphasis is on the management of cases with renalinvolvement, a distinct focus on the diseases as a whole and their impact on patients' general health and prognosis has been maintained throughout the discussions.

Recognition and prevention of major mental and substance use disorders

(點選圖片可預覽部份內容)

簡介(Book Description from Google)：
In Recognition and Prevention of Major Mental and Substance Use Disorders, a team of distinguished participants addresses the problem of prevention of major mental and substance use disorders at many levels-from the DNA molecule to public policy-in order to show how prevention efforts should be informed by a better understanding of etiology and by a knowledge of indicators of vulnerability. The volume addresses issues that are critical precursors to the prevention of mental disorders and offers an understanding of factors that contribute to the disorders' development. The contributorc review genetic methodologies and current findings in mental disorders and show how biological and psychosocial environmental variables may affect vulnerability. Chapters devoted specifically to lessons in prevention drawn from recent research into schizophrenia discuss the implications of prodromal studies and relationships between stress, critical periods, and the development of the disorder. The book includes contributions from NIH representatives on how basic scientific understanding of mental disorders can be translated into public policy. It also features chapters that describe cutting-edge projects in prevention research for Alzheimer's disease, drug dependence, antisocial behavior, and posttraumatic stress disorder. Each chapter reviews clinical implications, contributing to a volume that will benefit clinicians and researchers who share the goal of preventing these debilitating conditions.

巨星李奧納多狄卡皮歐首度擔綱監製、口述旁白
榮獲2007金衛星獎最佳紀錄片提名
紐約時代雜誌評論讚譽本片『務必觀賞，一部讓人緊張不安，且意外感動的紀錄片 ！』

如果人類是問題的來源，我們也能成為解答的基礎！ 世界氣象組織的科學家巴杜說：「2007年一開始，極端氣候事件便十分活躍。」從近幾年的氣候變化就顯示地球極端異常的氣候變遷，這一連串的異常現象都在在不斷地暗示，我們地球生一場不輕的重病，身為地球一份子的人類，環境保護成為我們當下刻不容緩的任務。美國前副總統高爾2006年所推出關注「地球暖化」的紀錄片【不願面對的真相】，成功喚起了全球對此議題的注意，而高爾落實環保親身奔走的積極行動貢獻更讓他在2007年榮獲諾貝爾和平獎。而好萊塢巨星李奧納多狄卡皮歐與高爾一樣，對於環保的關注一直以來都不遺餘力，積極落實環保行動，期望能透過自己明星特質的影響力，喚起大眾對環保議題的重視，於是師法高爾製作了紀錄片【第11個小時】，呼籲全球的觀眾一起投入環保運動，還給地球真正的美麗。
【第11個小時】片中訪問超過70位的頂尖科學家、思想家和領導者，包括前蘇聯總統戈巴契夫、著有《時間簡史》的名科學家史帝芬霍金、前中情局局長詹姆士渥斯利、永續設計專家威廉馬當諾夫與毛布魯斯、以及在肯亞推動綠帶運動而獲得2004年諾貝爾和平獎的旺佳里馬泰。透過這些專家們的解析與研究數據，檢視出整個生物圈生命系統與地球依存的關係，從最早的工業革命，到當下的大自然變化以及未來的解決方案，影片都鉅細靡遺地替觀眾解答，讓觀眾知道透過一些日常行為和觀念的改變，就可以為我們美麗的地球盡一己之力。控制二氧化碳的排放量、減少使用石油節約能源，以及恢復綠地、森林、尋找替代能源、資源回收再利用等不再只是政府單方面的責任，也是我們每個地球公民應該當下努力的目標，而政府所制訂推動的相關環保政策，也都應立基於「永續經營」的理念，才能真正讓地球生生不息。專家提醒大家應降低消費的慾望，同時呼籲企業應停止永無止盡擴張的想法，否則人類最終將朝向自我毀滅。生態學家並指出地球一定會重生，但人類卻不會，因為地球有的是時間，而我們卻沒有！ 透過這些專家們精闢的剖析提供我們更多的遠見與想法，而李奧納多狄卡皮歐的旁白配音，則藉由他與生俱來的巨星特質，呼籲大家拯救地球不僅僅是解決土地和水源的污染，或是解決全球暖化等問題，而是應該反省自己，這才是真正的自我覺醒。貫穿全片的誠懇訴求，更為影片增加無限的感性與悸動。
美國「紐約代雜誌」的影評人曼諾拉達吉斯不僅給予【第11個小時】滿分的評價，亦盛讚本片「讓人不安，卻又意外地感動人心！而關於環境災害的紀實，更是影片值得仔細欣賞的原因之一。」 在環保議題日益受到注目的當下，華納家庭娛樂即將於四月二十二日世界地球日來臨之際，為響應於全球舉行的地球日活動而推出【第11個小時】DVD，讓關心環保議題的您，不但能透過本片讓您更瞭解環保對於人類自身的真正涵義，收藏本片更可讓您深度思慮這個全世界關注的重要議題，碟片收錄花絮「《第十一個小時》：大自然的運作法則及解決方案」，讓我們透過瞭解大自然創造的規則，一起替地球找到更乾淨的明天！

小嘉平常最喜歡和爸爸玩捉迷藏的遊戲，如果誰贏了，就可以許一個願望，於是每天放學都期待著爸爸會在家裡等她…然而，媽媽和哥哥心裡都明白，爸爸再也不會回來了… 　　

導演的話：
面對死亡的心理過程，一開始就如同在室內發放沖天炮一般，是必然的狂爆與激烈；在期盼與追尋當中，繼之而來的，是環境中的空虛感侵襲著所有熟悉的空間，我們才會慢慢地察覺，生命剎然殞落，就如同絢爛的花火，在最燦爛的那一刻隨即消逝無蹤，烙下一抹震耳欲聾的寂靜…。一切，我相信得與失之間的輕重不會在當下展現，但必然會在生命的脈落中獲得平衡，那便是成長的軌跡。
