"Few studies have evaluated efficacy of psychotherapies for pathological gambling. Pathological gamblers (N 􏰀 231) were randomly assigned to (a) referral to Gamblers Anonymous (GA), (b) GA referral plus a cognitive?behavioral (CB) workbook, or (c) GA referral plus 8 sessions of individual CB therapy. Gambling and related problems were assessed at baseline, 1 month later, posttreatment, and at 6- and 12-month follow-ups. CB treatment reduced gambling relative to GA referral alone during the treatment period and resulted in clinically significant improvements, with some effects maintained throughout follow-up ( ps 􏰄 .05). Individual CB therapy improved some outcomes compared with the CB workbook. Attendance at GA and number of CB therapy sessions or workbook exercises completed were associated with gambling abstinence. These data suggest the efficacy of this CB therapy approach."

"This book presents a comprehensive picture of ischemic heart disease for practitioners, students, and investigators dealing with the varied facets of this complex subject. Individual chapters introduce the anatomy of the coronary blood vessels and cardiac development, while others consider current imaging modalities utilized for ischemic heart disease, including stress echo, nuclear diagnostic tests, non-invasive coronary artery imaging, and coronary angiography. Imaging chapters provide key clinical information on techniques and indications, and include examples of both normal and abnormal patterns. The principle thrust of the book concerns coronary atherosclerosis, the pathology of which is presented in conjunction with the results of anatomic, non-invasive imaging and angiographic studies. Related chapters cover atherogenesis, presenting new insights into the pathophysiology of the vulnerable plaque, the role of progenitor cells in vascular injury, inflammation and atherogenesis, and the genomics of vascular remodeling. Additional topics covered include angina pectoris, acute coronary syndromes, healed myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure, catheter-based and surgical revascularization, and surgical treatment of myocardial infarction and its sequelae. With contributions from a diverse group of internationally-known physicians with broad experience in the diagnosis and treatment of coronary heart disease."

"ABSTRAKHandmaid rsquo;s Tale 2017 adalah adaptasi serial dari novel 1985 dengan nama yang sama karya Margaret Atwood yang mengikuti kehidupan seorang Handmaid - seorang pembawa anak yang diritualkan - di Amerika Serikat pasca-kudeta teokratis yang telah mengganti namanya menjadi Republik Gilead . Serial ini mengeksplorasi kehidupan yang keras di bawah rezim tersebut melalui sudut pandang Offred, seorang Handmaid yang baru-baru ini direkrut paksa. Serial ini bisa dilihat sebagai kritik terhadap struktur kekuasaan yang beroperasi di bawah kerja biopolitik. Literatur mengenai novel-novel Atwood sudah berlimpah Brackins, 2014; Jacob, 2015 , terutama yang berurusan dengan feminisme dan keibuan. Namun, serial ini belum pernah dibahas, khususnya dalam kaitannya dengan biopolitik. Dengan memanfaatkan Pendekatan Althusser tentang aparatur negara dan pemikiran Foucault tentang biopower, artikel ini bertujuan untuk menemukan penindasan yang dilakukan oleh aktor negara maupun non-negara serta saling keterlibatan yang kemudian dihasilkan dan ketahanan dari subjeknya. Dengan menganalisis struktur naratif dari elemen visual dan audio dari musim pertama serial ini 2017 , makalah ini mengkaji implikasi biopolitik dalam tingkat sistemik maupun individu, khususnya melalui sudut pandang perempuan-perempuan yang terpinggirkan. Makalah ini mencerminkan bagaimana serial ini berhubungan dengan konteks sosio-politik Amerika Serikat abad 21.

ABSTRACTHandmaid rsquo;s Tale 2017 is a serial adaptation of the 1985 novel of the same name by Margaret Atwood which follows the life of a handmaid ndash; a ritualized child bearer ndash; in a post-coup theocratic United States of America USA which renamed itself ldquo;Republic of Gilead rdquo;. This series explores the harsh life under the regime through the viewpoint of Offred, a recently indicted handmaid. This series could be seen as a critique of power structure operating underneath the working of biopolitics. Scholarship on Atwood rsquo;s novel are abound Brackins, 2014; Jacob, 2015 , especially dealing with feminism and motherhood. However, the series has not been discussed, in particular in relations to biopolitics. By utilising Althusser rsquo;s approach on state apparatuses and Foucault rsquo;s thought on biopower, this article aims to discover the repression perpetrated by both state and non-state actors along with the resulting complicity and resistance of the subjects. By analysing the narrative structure of the series visual and audio elements of the first season 2017 , this paper examines the implications of biopolitics in both systemic and individual level, specifically through the viewpoint marginalized women. The paper reflects how the series relate to the socio-political context of 21st century USA."

"In Thailand, from the beginning of this century, policies on aging, health promotion reform toward enlightening the public, and administrative decentralization have been taking place, leading to the reinforcement of biopolitics in elderly care. “Community” became a useful locus and tool to carry out governance of health and elderly care. At the same time, within state-initiated programs there is local agency at work, which mobilizes existing social networks while allowing the formation of new connections based on the old. Drawing upon observations from fieldwork in a suburban district in Chiang Mai Province, I argue that biosocial communality emerges from the interaction between the administration and local agents, and demonstrate how this operates by acting on the interface of the family and the community. I first look into how policies of health and elderly care have made use of the community or the discourse thereof. Then I introduce the case of a specific subdistrict to see how such top-down governance actually operates on the ground, how local networks can be reactivated, and, ultimately, how we find, among the participating elderly and caregivers, emerging biosocial communality at the interface of the family and community."

"This book discusses recent advances in biology, chemistry, and pharmacology at both the preclinical and clinical stage of transient receptor potential vanilloid subtype 1 (TRPV1) drug discovery research. Chapters explore the impact and drug targeting of TRPV1 in inflammation, migraine, arthritis, and cancer; as well as the development of analgesic drugs. The TRPV1 receptor is not limited to pain only, and the book covers its role in chronic cough, bladder disorders, and asthma. The book features data relevant to the therapeutic potential of TRPV1 and the medicinal chemistry involved in designing TRPV1 antagonists."
