• Un 95 por ciento de la población española sufre algún episodio de cefalea en algún momento de su vida, No obstante, a pesar de los avances tan significativos que se han producido, la realidad clínica todavía está muy lejos de lo deseable. De una parte, sigue habiendo un número importante de pacientes que no demandan ayuda médica y se automedican, con el consiguiente riesgo de complicaciones; entre ellas, la cefalea por abuso de medicación. Del otro lado, muchos de los que demandan asistencia médica no reciben una respuesta satisfactoria a sus necesidades, y esto se produce por desinterés, todavía hay médicos e incluso especialistas que consideran que la cefalea es una patología menor, o por desconocimiento. Este libro contribuirá a perfeccionar esos conocimientos en aquellos que ya los tienen y a conocer mejor e interesarles en la patología en aquellos que no los tenían.
• Valentín Mateos, Jefe del Servicio de Neurología del Centro Médico de Asturias, y antiguo coordinador del grupo de estudio de cefaleas de la Sociedad Española de Neurología, aborda este tema de forma monográfica para acercar las migrañas y resto de cefaleas habituales en la práctica clínica, a neurólogos, residentes de Neurología y especialistas en Medicina de Familia.
• La obra comienza con los aspectos epidemiológicos y fisiopatológicos, seguidos de una aproximación diagnóstica al paciente con cefalea, para ya pasar a los diferentes tipos de cefaleas. Los conceptos principales serán destacados en el texto en forma de tablas.
• Los temas han sido desarrollados por especialistas en sus respectivas áreas.

Migrating to the Cloud: Oracle Client/Server Modernization is a reference guide for migrating client/server applications to the Oracle cloud. Organized into 14 chapters, the book offers tips on planning, determining effort and budget, designing the Oracle cloud infrastructure, implementing the migration, and moving the Oracle cloud environment into production.
Aside from Oracle application and database cloud offerings, the book looks at various tools and technologies that can facilitate migration to the cloud. It includes useful code snippets and step-by-step instructions in database migration, along with four case studies that highlight service enablement of DOS-based applications, Sybase to Oracle, PowerBuilder to APEX, and Forms to Java EE. Finally, it considers current challenges and future trends in cloud computing and client/server migration.
This book will be useful to IT professionals, such as developers, architects, database administrators, IT project managers, and executives, in developing migration strategies and best practices, as well as finding appropriate solutions.

• Focuses on Oracle architecture, Middleware and COTS business applications
• Explains the tools and technologies necessary for your legacy migration
• Gives useful information about various strategies, migration methodologies and efficient plans for executing migration projects

Milestone Moments in Getting your PhDin Qualitative Research is a guide for research students completing higher degrees with a focus on the importance of language and terminology of the theoretical and practical requirements of a given research program. The book responds to a lack of preparedness among many entrants into higher-degrees in contemporary higher education. The need among non-traditional entrants into higher-degrees for a strong background in core academic principles is made pressing due to the lack of preparation many students undergo prior to enrolment. This book might be consulted by research students as they proceed through the various milestones that may form part of a higher-degree.

• Offers guidance to research students working through the stages of a higher degree
• Provides practical advice on terminology and language
• Give examples of methodologies, their advantages and disadvantages
• Grounded in real student experience to offer a practical edge

Understanding of the interactions of milk proteins in complex food systems continues to progress, resulting in specialized milk-protein based applications in functional foods, and in protein ingredients for specific health applications. Milk Proteins is the first and only presentation of the entire dairy food chain – from the source to the nutritional aspects affecting the consumer.

Mims' Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease is the landmark book in the field of infectious disease. The new, revised edition of this work provides a comprehensive, up-to-date description of the mechanisms of microbial infection and the pathogenesis of infectious disease. Presented in a clear, accessible style, it deals in an integrated manner with the spectrum of microorganisms, describing the factors common to all infectious diseases. Molecular biology, pathology, and immunology are brought together to explain the mechanisms for spread, immune response, and recovery.

• Describes the origin and molecular biology of pandemic influenza, HIV1, and HIV2 as well as the recent work on papillomaviruses, herpesviruses, BSE, and variant CJD
• Contains the latest data on tuberculosis, microbial evasion of immune defenses, and the spread of antibiotic resistance genes among bacteria
• Provides an update on vaccines, prions, immune evasion, and microbial ligands and receptors
• Gives an up-to-date picture of the global burden of infectious diseases

The second edition of Mindfulness-Based Treatment Approaches discusses the conceptual foundation, implementation, and evidence base for the four best-researched mindfulness treatments: mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Eastern spiritual traditions have long maintained that mindfulness meditation can improve well-being. More recently, mindfulness-based treatment approaches have been successfully utilized to treat anxiety, depressive relapse, eating disorders, psychosis, and borderline personality disorder.

All chapters in this new edition are written by researchers with extensive clinical experience. Each chapter includes the conceptual rationale for using a mindfulness-based treatment and a review of the relevant evidence base. A detailed case study illustrates how the intervention is implemented in "real life," exploring the clinical and practical issues that may arise and how they can be managed. This book will be of use to clinicians and researchers interested in understanding and implementing mindfulness based treatments.

• Covers anxiety, depression, eating, psychosis, personality disorders, stress, pain, relationships, and more
• Discusses a wide range of populations (children, adolescents, older adults, couples) and settings (outpatient, inpatient, medical, mental health, workplace)
• Clinically rich, illustrative case study in every chapter
• International perspectives represented by authors from the US, Canada, UK, and Sweden
