2-D and 3-D image registration
To master the fundamentals of image registration, there is no more comprehensive source than 2-D and 3-D Image Registration. In addition to delving into the relevant theories of image registration, the author presents their underlying algorithms. You'll also discover cutting-edge techniques to use in remote sensing, industrial, and medical applications. Examples of image registration are presented throughout, and the companion Web site contains all the images used in the book and provides links to software and algorithms discussed in the text, allowing you to reproduce the results in the text and develop images for your own research needs. 2-D and 3-D Image Registration serves as an excellent textbook for classes in image registration as well as an invaluable working resource.

Advances in microRNA analysis
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are single-stranded noncoding RNA molecules that act as key regulators of mRNA expression and are emerging biomarkers for disease. Their small size (18–25 nt) presents challenges to molecular recognition, labeling, and signal generation. Recent research activity in this field has aimed at the development of methods for miRNA quantification that combine high detectability, broad dynamic range, practicality, multiplexity, and low cost for prospective applications in diagnostic laboratories. This review article covers the most recent advances in microRNA analysis.

DSM-5 : handbook on the cultural formulation interview
DSM-5® Handbook of the Cultural Formulation Interview provides the background, context, and detailed guidance necessary to train clinicians in the use of the Cultural Formulation Interview (CFI), which was created as part of the 2007-2013 DSM revision process. The purpose of the CFI -- and this unique handbook -- is to make it easier for providers to account for the influence of culture in their clinical work to enhance patient-clinician communication and improve outcomes. Cultural psychiatry as a field has evolved enormously from the days when it was principally concerned with epidemiological and clinical studies of disease prevalence; it now examines a multitude of issues, primary among them the differing patient, family, and practitioner models of illness and treatment experiences within and across cultures. The editors, all of whom have been intimately involved in the evolution of the field, have designed the book and accompanying videos for maximum instructional and clinical utility.
The Handbook boasts many strengths and useful features, including: • A detailed description of each of the three CFI components: a core 16-item questionnaire, which can be applied in any clinical setting with any patient by any mental health clinician; an informant version of the core CFI used to obtain information from caregivers; and 12 supplementary modules that expand on these basic assessments. This material facilitates implementation of the CFI by clinicians.• Over a dozen clinical vignettes are included to illustrate use of the three components, and the Handbook also includes multiple videos that demonstrate the application of portions of the core CFI, and several supplementary modules.• Strategies for incorporating the CFI into clinical training are identified and discussed, furthering the objective of developing culturally-sensitive and astute practitioners.• The theoretical bases of the CFI are explored, raising questions for discussion and identifying areas for further research.
The CFI is a valuable tool for all patients, not just those judged to be culturally different. The CFI has been called the single most practically useful contribution of cultural psychiatry and medical anthropology to clinical psychiatry, primary care, and medicine in general. DSM-5® Handbook on the Cultural Formulation Interview is the only book on the market that equips readers with the skills and insight to incorporate the CFI into practice, making it a critically important addition to the clinical literature.

Flow cytometry of hematological malignancies
Flow Cytometry of Hematological Malignancies contains an array of graphical outputs produced by the technique in the study of the most (and the least) common diseases. The images included allow you to compare your own results with a third party reference pattern. There is a detailed description of the main leukocyte antigens, together with a description of their distribution amongst normal and abnormal blood cells. The book also provides a comprehensive description of the phenotype of every neoplastic blood disease recorded in the WHO classification system, including all the instructions needed to recognise and classify even the least common entity. Designed to be practical, the book is perfect for quick consultation and is divided into two main sections. Section I deals with the direct object of immunophenotyping, and Section II deals with the ultimate target of the analysis. More than 50 antigens are covered and every antigen is dealt with in three main parts: general features, cytometric features and practical hints. This authoritative and state-of-the-art reference will be invaluable for clinicians directly involved in the diagnosis and analysis of hematological diseases, including hematologists, hematopathologists, oncologists, pathologists and technicians working in diagnostic laboratories.
