Rehabilitation and Health Assessment: Applying ICF Guidelines [Hardcover] - Elias Mpofu PhD (Editor), Thomas Oakland PhD (Editor). Instructor's Guide Available to Qualified Instructors! The World Health Organization's ICF (International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health) has undergone dramatic changes in the past decade, requiring that disability be understood in light of contextual, social, and personal factors. This examination of ICF guidelines provides a comprehensive survey of assessment tools, emerging technologies, and procedures necessary for personalizing rehabilitation and health care interventions. Editors Mpofu and Oakland have gathered an international team of experts to set forth this masterful volume-dedicated to helping students, researchers, and practitioners advance their understanding of test use, assessment, and measurement, using the framework and philosophy presented in the ICF model. With this book, readers will learn how to apply ICF guidelines effectively, by expanding their knowledge of: Professional issues, such as ethical quandaries, cultural and diversity considerations, and working with children and youth.  Cutting-edge assessment technologies, such as virtual world tools, functional magnetic resonance imaging, and pre-scored health status instruments. 


Cancer Risk Assessment: Chemical Carcinogenesis, Hazard Evaluation, and Risk Quantification

Cancer Risk Assessment 
Cancer Risk Assessment: Chemical Carcinogenesis, Hazard Evaluation, and Risk Quantification [Hardcover] - Ching-Hung Hsu (Editor), Todd Stedeford (Editor). With a weight-of-the-evidence approach, cancer risk assessment indentifies hazards, determines dose-response relationships, and assesses exposure to characterize the true risk. This book focuses on the quantitative methods for conducting chemical cancer risk assessments for solvents, metals, mixtures, and nanoparticles. It links these to the basic toxicology and biology of cancer, along with the impacts on regulatory guidelines and standards. By providing insightful perspective, Cancer Risk Assessment helps researchers develop a discriminate eye when it comes to interpreting data accurately and separating relevant information from erroneous. The book begins with an overview of cancer risk assessment, science policy, and the regulatory framework for industrial chemicals and biocides. Next, all the core concepts, skills, and methods needed to perform cancer risk assessments are covered in detail. Each chapter of this contributed work has been written by one or more leading international experts. Their contributions integrate a comprehensive review of the scientific literature with their own personal hands-on experience as well as their knowledge of current regulations and testing guidelines.
