Sommario/riassunto

The essays in this book shed interdisciplinary and multicultural light on a hypothesis that helps to account for such an unexpected convergence of enlightenment and religion in our times: Religion has re-entered the public sphere because it puts into question the relation between God and the concept of political sovereignty.

Sommario/riassunto

These original essays show how the US government repeatedly aided certain regimes as they planned and then carried out crimes against humanity and genocide. What makes the collection unique—and chilling—is the inclusion of declassified documents generated by the US



government at the time: memoranda, telegrams, letters, talking points, cables, discussion papers, and situation reports. In his introduction, Totten offers a critical assessment of US foreign policy as it pertains to genocide and crimes against humanity, and discusses the differences between those two terms. In the chapters that follow, each author presents a detailed analysis of a particular case of crimes against humanity or genocide by a foreign government against its own citizens, and discusses why and how the United States government was complicit.

Sommario/riassunto

Ectodermal Dysplasias (ED) are a diverse group of genetic disorders characterized by congenital defects of two or more ectodermal structures (e.g., sweat gland, tooth, nail, hair), that count about 100 different manifestations. Therefore, the multidisciplinary aspect is a novel but crucial approach to correctly diagnose and treat this kind of diseases and eventually direct patients to specialized centers. A new classification has been proposed as well as new therapeutic options, such as the first prenatal protein replacement therapy for a genetic disease, X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. The chapters of this book address all relevant topics, starting with epidemiology and embryology, disease classification, molecular biology, EDA1-associated ED, WNT10A-related ED, and p63-related ED. A chapter on ED caused by defects of structural proteins is included and one specifically devoted to differential diagnoses. Specific chapters describe diagnostic assessments and treatment: odontostomatological signs and therapy, ophthalmological or otorhinolaringoiatric signs, other organ involvement, neurological and neuropsychological issues. The final part is dedicated to the most recent developments in molecular therapy and the extremely important role of parents' and patients' associations. Written by internationally renowned experts, this handy resource will be of valuable help for a variety of specialists who deal with ectodermal dysplasias in their daily clinical work, e.g., pediatricians, dermatologists, ENT-specialists, dentists.
