Parental responsibility in the context of neuroscience and genetics
2017
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat) abstract
Should parents aim to make their children as normal as possible to increase their chances to "fit in"? Are neurological and mental health conditions a part of children's identity and if so, should parents aim to remove or treat these? Should they aim to instill self-control in their children? Should prospective parents take steps to insure that, of all the children they could have, they choose the ones with the best likely start in life?This volume explores all of these questions and more. Against the background of recent findings and expected advances in neuroscience and genetics, the extent and limits of parental responsibility are increasingly unclear. Awareness of the effects of parental choices on children's wellbeing, as well as evolving norms about the moral status of children, have further increased expectations from (prospective) parents to take up and act on their changing responsibilities. The contributors discuss conceptual issues such as the meaning and sources of moral responsibility, normality, treatment, and identity. They also explore more practical issues such as how responsibility for children is practiced in Yoruba culture in Nigeria or how parents and health professionals in Belgium perceive the dilemmas generated by prenatal diagnosis.

Cancer cytogenetics : Chromosomal and Molecular Genetic Aberrations of Tumor Cells
2015. - 4th
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat) abstract
The first three editions of this acclaimed book presented a much-needed conceptual synthesis of this rapidly moving field. Now, Cancer Cytogenetics, Fourth Edition, offers a comprehensive, expanded, and up-to-date review of recent dramatic advances in this area, incorporating a vast amount of new data from the latest basic and clinical investigations. New contributors reflecting broader international authorship and even greater expertise. Greater emphasis throughout on the clinical importance and application of information about cytogenetic and molecular aberrations. Includes a complete coverage of chromosome aberrations in cancer based on an assessment of the 60,000 neoplasms cytogenetically investigated to date. Now produced in full color for enhanced clarity. Covers how molecular genetic data (PCR-based and sequencing information) are collated with the cytogenetic data where pertinent. Discusses how molecular cytogenetic data (based on studies using FISH, CGH, SNP, etc) are fused with karyotyping data to enable an as comprehensive understanding of cancer cytogenetics as is currently possible.

World Health Organization Classification of Tumours. Pathology and Genetics of Tumours of Soft Tissue and Bone
2002
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt) abstract
"Pathology and Genetics of Tumours of Soft Tissue and Bone" is the fifth volume in the new WHO series on histological and genetic typing of human tumours. It covers tumours of soft tissue and bone including inherited tumour syndromes. Each entity is extensively discussed with information on clinicopathological, epidemiological, immunophenotypic and genetic aspects of these diseases. Diagnostic criteria, pathological features and associated genetic alterations are described in a strictly disease-oriented manner. Sections on all recognized neoplasms and their variants include new ICD-O codes, incidence, age and sex distribution, location, clinical signs and symptoms, pathology, genetics and predictive factors. This book is an authoritative, concise reference, prepared by 147 authors from 28 countries. It contains more than 900 colour photographs, numerous MRIs, ultrasound images, CT scans, charts and approx. 2000 references.
