"Deficits in social cognition and metacognition in schizophrenics makes it difficult for them to understand the speech, facial expressions and hence emotion and intention of others, as well as allowing little insight into their own mental state. These deficits are associated with poor social skills, fewer social relationships, and are predictive of poorer performance in a work setting. Social cognition and metacognition in schizophrenia reviews recent research advances focusing on the precise nature of these deficits, when and how they manifest themselves, what their effect is on the course of schizophrenia, and how each can be treated. These deficits may themselves be why schizophrenia is so difficult to resolve, by focusing on the deficits, recovery may be quicker and long lasting.This book discusses such deficits in early onset, first episode, and prolonged schizophrenia, how the deficits relate to each other and to other forms of psychopathology, how the deficits affect social, psychological, and vocational functioning, and how best to treat the deficits in either individual or group settings."

"Malay medicine is one of complementary and alternative medicines in preventing and treating many diseases. However, scientific observation on Malay medicine in treating several non-infectious diseases, including obesity and cancer has not been fully documented and may be obsoleted. Thus, this review compiled several data on the potential of Malay medicine practice by consumption of Gelam honey and herb named Tinospora crispa in controlling obesity and treating cancer. In obesity study, findings revealed Gelam honey, and T. crispa significantly decreased body weight, total cholesterol, triglycerides and the glucose level compared to controls. Meanwhile, in several cancer studies, both Gelam honey and T. crispa were found inhibited colon, breast, liver and lung cancer cell growth. Although the results were at the early stage, the reported studies revealed the potential of Gelam honey and T. crispa, which are applied in Malay medicine to control obesity and treat cancers effectively in the future. The data is also useful to conserve both native natural products and to promote a significant application of Malay medicine until to date."

"In the past decade, the relationship between patient choice and clinical decision making has been seen as increasingly significant by healthcare systems around the globe. This 3rd edition of Shared Decision Making in Health Care addresses important developments in this area, including the placing of shared decision making (SDM) at the centre of the US 2009 Affordable Care Act by Obamacare. This resource examines what makes an effective decision-making process from both theoretical and practical viewpoints, and the benefits and obstacles arising in shared patient-clinician decision making. It begins by putting shared decision making in a real-world context, examining its role in customized rather than commercialized healthcare, and in the achievement of allocative efficiency in health systems. It then provides theoretical and practical information for clinicians on the inclusion of patients in decision making and teaching SDM. Research is presented using systematic reviews and case studies to provide an understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects of preparing for, developing, and implementing SDM. The resource then relates SDM to broader issues such as health inequalities and quality improvement, and ends by examining ways in which SDM can be promoted by different population groups."

"Evidence-based Clinical Practice (EBCP) is the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best external evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients. In neurology, practice has shifted from a rich, descriptive discipline to one of increasingly diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. Providing a comprehensive review of the current best evidence, Neurology : an evidence-based approach presents this type of evidence in a concise, user-friendly and easily accessible manner. The three co-editors of this important volume are linked in their passion for evidence-based clinical practice in the clinical neurological sciences, connected to a common historical origin at the University of Western Ontario (UWO), London, Ontario Canada and influenced directly by evidence-based medicine teachings of McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario Cananda. The book is organized in three sections: Basics of Evidence-Based Clinical Practice, with an introduction to the topic, a chapter on the evolution of the hierarchy of evidence, and another chapter on guidelines for rating the quality of evidence and grading the strength of recommendation. The second section, Neurological Diseases, provides an illuminating overview of evidence-based care in ten of the most common areas in neurologic practice. The final, third section provides an outstanding roadmap for teaching evidence-based neurology with a chapter on the evidence-based curriculum. "
