Summary:

This continuing series gathers and presents original research results on the leading edge of medicine and biology. Each article has been carefully selected in an attempt to present substantial topical data across a broad spectrum. This book discusses research on the future direction and evolution of zinc based biomaterials in dental and skeletal applications; the effects of drugs on verbal fluency in aphasia; a study of psoriasis as a multi-system inflammatory disease; new therapeutic anti-glaucoma medicines; treating OCD using computer-based treatments; a review of breastfeeding versus formula-feeding in adult obesity; monitoring of adverse drug reactions; the relationship of emerging adulthood and substance abuse; and promoting nursing accountability in today's evidence-based healthcare system and developments in influenza vaccines
