Understanding Stroke in a Global Context

Shanthi Mendis

Casa editrice: Bentham Science Publishers.

Sinossi

Stroke is one of the most debilitating diseases which poses a significant economic burden on society. Increasing exposure to behavioural risk factors for stroke (tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and excessive alcohol consumption) and air pollution are driving up the worldwide stroke burden. Although medical interventions to prevent and manage stroke have advanced considerably over the last two decades, they are not consistently implemented worldwide. Therefore, health outcomes of stroke treatment vary throughout the world. 
 
Understanding Stroke in a Global Context addresses this serious disconnect between advances in stroke interventions and their implementation at the national level. The book aims to improve the reader’s understanding of stroke and its links to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 
Eight chapters present information about various aspects of stroke: causes, symptoms, signs and consequences, the challenges of stroke prevention, the magnitude of the stroke burden, medical and surgical interventions for managing stroke including stroke units, the links between stroke and the SDGs and, finally, the social and economic costs of stroke. 
Key features of this volume include:
- coverage of stroke information from multidisciplinary angles
- simple reader friendly format for a broad audience
- information about UN SDGs relevant to stroke healthcare
- data on socioeconomic burden of stroke
 
This volume is a concise handbook for healthcare policy makers, lay people, journalists, public health practitioners, under-graduate and post-graduate students, and early career level health professionals working in the fields of stroke medicine, non-communicable disease programs and healthcare development at local and national levels.

Neuralink Decoded - What Happens...

Samantha Blake

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
What if your thoughts could send a text, learn a language, or relive a memory in perfect detail—all without lifting a finger?
Neuralink Decoded is a mind-expanding journey into the next era of human evolution, where science fiction meets real-world innovation. Written in Samantha Blake’s signature style—clear, compelling, and emotionally gripping—this book takes readers beyond the headlines and hype to explore how brain-computer interfaces are reshaping medicine, identity, work, and the future of the human race.
This isn’t just about Elon Musk or a coin-sized chip. It’s about what comes after. What happens when the brain becomes programmable? When your mind can connect directly to the internet—or to another human?
From the early roots of Neuralink’s experimental technology to the awe-inspiring possibilities of enhanced cognition, digital telepathy, and memory backups, this book offers a front-row seat to a revolution that will challenge everything we know about thought, privacy, and being alive.
Through human stories, real science, and bold predictions, Neuralink Decoded explores how this breakthrough could help the paralyzed walk again, treat disorders like Parkinson’s and depression, and eventually allow us to transcend biology altogether. But it also wrestles with the big questions: Who owns your thoughts? Can consciousness be hacked? And what does it mean to stay human in a world where machines may understand your mind better than you do?
Whether you're a curious reader, a tech enthusiast, or someone wondering how to prepare for a future that’s arriving faster than expected, this book is your roadmap.
This is not just the story of a chip. It’s the story of us—and what we’re about to become.

The Study of Mental Health - The...

Steven Johnson

We wrote this book, Statistics for Psychology, specifically to serve as a resource for schooling and instruction. After spending several decades as a teacher of behavioural statistics, the author, who became widely known for his pedagogical prowess, intended to create a textbook that would apply the most effective classroom approaches to the written page. He did this by combining the textbook with the most effective classroom approaches. To achieve this, this book employs a variety of tactics, including timely pointing and highlighting devices, strategic reviews and reminders, a focus on the most pertinent content, and timely anticipating of the student's perspective. Additionally, Evans' technique emphasizes underlying logic and intuitive conceptions rather than sophisticated mathematical formulas and proofs, and it does so within the context of an engaging writing style. This contrasts other methods, which emphasize both of these aspects. One can say that there is a healthy balance between conceptual and computational aspects across the entirety of the object. This work is suitable for students taking their first course in behavioural statistics. After experiencing this subject, the reader will be better prepared for advanced courses and direct applications. We also provide internet links to complimentary additional supplements at www.ebookslimited.com to enhance your reading experience. Teachers of behavioural statistics and their students are the intended beneficiaries of these supplements.

If P Then Q - Why Philosophy Can...

Russell Hasan

This short paper on logic argues that logic and science can go hand in hand, and that, by taking observations of perceptions and sensations, and applying logical analysis to them, you have the power to build conceptual models and frameworks that you can use in order to predict what you should do in the future and to reason how to solve the problems in your life. Examples from hard science, and examples of the use of science and logic in the courtroom to understand legal arguments, are presented, as well examples of how to figure out the answers to the mundane ordinary problems that we humans have in our lives. 
Mandatory must-read for anyone who wants to think and live using logic.
