The analysis of the protein content of the Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) is a central tool in the diagnosis of a number of diseases, including Multiple Sclerosis and Encephalitis. This book is a complete revision of the first edition published 16 years ago and reflects the advances in the field in that period. Containing the most comprehensive reference list available today with over 1300 references cross-indexed according to topics, it also includes many classical works that cannot be easily found through the public literature database (like PubMed). This book covers new areas of research such as the use of the analysis of protein content in the CSF to guide the prognosis of patients with severe head injury and/or stroke (currently being tested using technology which can be applied at the bedside to yield results within 15 minutes). With many new or completely revised illustrations, this book serves as not only a reference on the topic, but also a lab manual for bench work with recipes, and a clinical reference on individual diseases. This book introduces the Eastern blotting, the technique considered the 'gold standard' by the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for the demonstration of IgG by immunofixation following isoelectric focusing. It provides numerous tables for ease-of-use. It is extensively cross-referenced with over 1300 references.

Che si tratti di prendersi cura degli altri e dei loro problemi, di gestire collaboratori o di lavorare in team, tutto dipende dalla propria abilità di rapportarsi efficacemente con gli altri. Occorre quindi sviluppare una più matura consapevolezza delle dinamiche che intervengono quando si lavora con le persone e arricchire il proprio bagaglio di competenze nelle relazioni interpersonali. Nel volume viene spiegato come potenziare la propria efficacia personale, gestendo al meglio il tempo lavorativo, valorizzando doti personali e creatività e contrastando lo stress. Vengono poi presentate le varie modalità di interazione con gli altri, che devono essere conosciute e potenziate per generare rapporti di lavoro efficaci. Infine ci si occupa dei processi di lavoro, e quindi delle abilità e dei metodi necessari - soprattutto agli operatori sociali - per affrontare i problemi individuati. In questa nuova edizione, l'autore propone dunque una guida ampliata e aggiornata sulle conoscenze e le competenze essenziali per lavorare con successo con e per gli altri. Scritto in maniera accessibile e ricco di esempi, consigli ed esercizi pratici, il libro è una risorsa per operatori sociali e sanitari, studenti, coordinatori, manager e in generale per chiunque lavori con le persone.
