Synopsis

Women bring special issues to drug and alcohol addiction and treatment. Although women traditionally have been less represented than men in surveys of drug and alcohol use, the gap has been narrowing in the last decade. Women in substance abuse treatment are more likely to be diagnosed with a mental heath disorder than men and issues of domestic violence and sexual abuse, eating disorders, child care and home responsibilities, as well as social acceptance and access to care, present greater burdens for women in treatment. This book presents leading edge research on this topic from around the globe.

About this title

Synopsis

Neuroblastoma is a cancer that develops from nerve cells found in several areas of the body. Neuroblastoma most commonly affects children age 5 or younger, though it may rarely occur in older children and adults. Neuroblastoma is the most common cancer in babies. Neuroblastoma develops in tissue that makes up the sympathetic nervous system - the system of nerves that automatically regulates your heart rate, blood pressure and digestion. Neuroblastoma most commonly arises in and around the adrenal glands, which sit atop the kidneys. However, neuroblastoma can also develop in other areas of the abdomen and in the chest, neck and pelvis. This book presents important new research in this field of research.
