This book is a scientific compendium documenting the state of the art in the discovery and development of vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, and enzymes for the treatment of Substance Use Disorders (SUDs). The book gives detailed consideration to some of the most cutting edge topics in addiction medicine, including vaccines for nicotine, cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine dependence; monoclonal antibodies against cocaine, methamphetamine, and phencyclidine; and the enzymes butyrylcholinesterase and cocaine esterase. In addition, the text covers a wide range of new strategies designed to optimize the development and efficacy of biologics. Unlike any other resource, this book reviews how biologics offer exciting new therapeutic opportunities for various psychiatric conditions. Written by experts in the field, Biologics to Treat Substance Use Disorders is as an authoritative reference for psychiatrists, psychologists, and all other medical professionals working with patients suffering from Substance Use Disorders.

Advanced Radiation Shielding Materials: Radiation and Radiological Protection provides an in-depth evaluation of the different types of radiation (x-rays, gamma rays, neutron, UV and EMI) and the development of radiation shielding materials that can be exploited for designing and use in multiple applications. The book also presents a review of the process parameters necessary to develop radiation shielding materials which will assist in the ongoing research to optimize and enhance processes such as the use of 3D orienting and CVD to create efficient radiation shielding material. This book will play a pivotal role and opens new avenues for global research and development by providing an under...
This book reviews important topics in osteoporosis, with the emphasis on both clinical management and basic research of the disease. From the clinical perspective, topics covering pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of osteoporosis are extensively elaborated. Several more chapters complement clinical overview of osteoporosis, that discuss the effects of nutrition and exercise to bone health, the application of biochemical markers in osteoporosis diagnosis, novel potential drug targets for osteoporosis treatment, and osteoporosis in males and in children. As the prevalence of osteoporosis now reaches epidemiological levels, epidemiology and social impacts of osteoporosis is also reviewed in the book. Basic research on osteoporosis is also highlighted in the book, with a number of chapters dedicated to the review of genetics of osteoporosis, animal models for osteoporosis, and statistical methods in osteoporosis study.
The 3rd supplement continues the updating of the original 20 volumes on boron compounds published between 1974 and 1979. The first supplement consisting of 3 volumes covered all the literature uniformly up to the end of 1977, whereas the two volumes of the 2nd supplement have extended the literature coverage of boron compounds to 1980 and the four volumes of the 3rd supplement to 1984. The present volume continues the description of boron compounds with halogens, presenting those with chlorine, bromine and iodine. The compounds with chalcogens are completed here along with those of boron with S, Se, Te and Po. The final chapter on carboranes contains the carboranes themselves, together with metallacarboranes, and in the last section a description of carborane-containing polymers, mostly derived from the three isomeric dicarbadodecarboranes. Volume 4 of the 3rd supplement brings this supplement series to an end. It will be supplemented by a separately appearing index volume, which contains all the boron compounds dealt with in volumes 1 - 4 of this supplement series.
