The authors present a measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element V[sub cb] based on a sample of about 53,700 [bar B][sup 0] --> D*[sup +][ell][sup -][bar [nu]][sub [ell]] = (4.90 [+-] 0.07(stat.)[sub -0.35][sup +0.36](syst.))%. They measure the differential decay rate as a function of w, the relativistic boost [gamma] of the D*[sup +] in the [bar B][sup 0] rest frame. By extrapolating d[Gamma]/dw to the kinematic limit w [yields] 1, the authors extract the product of V[sub cb] and the axial form factor A[sub 1](w = 1) to determine V[sub cb] = (38.7 [+-] 0.3(stat.) [+-] 1.7(syst.)[sub -1.3][sup +1.5](theory)) x 10[sup -3].

Clinical Case Studies for the Family Nurse Practitioner is a key resource for advanced practice nurses and graduate students seeking to test their skills in assessing, diagnosing, and managing cases in family and primary care. Composed of more than 70 cases ranging from common to unique, the book compiles years of experience from experts in the field. It is organized chronologically, presenting cases from neonatal to geriatric care in a standard approach built on the SOAP format. This includes differential diagnosis and a series of critical thinking questions ideal for self-assessment or classroom use.

Generalized hypermobility has been known since ancient times, and a clinical description of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is said to have first been recorded by Hippocrates in 400 BC. Hypermobility syndromes occur frequently, but the wide spectrum of possible symptoms, coupled with a relative lack of awareness and recognition, are the reason that they are frequently not recognized, or remain undiagnosed. This book is an international, multidisciplinary guide to hypermobility syndromes, and EDS in particular. It aims to create better awareness of hypermobility syndromes among health professionals, including medical specialists, and to be a guide to the management of such syndromes for patients and practitioners. It is intended for use in daily clinical practice rather than as a reference book for research or the latest developments, and has been written to be understandable for any healthcare worker or educated patient without compromise to the scientific content. The book is organized as follows: chapters on classifications and genetics are followed by chapters on individual types, organ (system) manifestations and complications, and finally ethics and therapeutic strategies, with an appendix on surgery and the precautions which should attend it. A special effort has been made to take account of the perspective of the patient; two of the editors have EDS. The book will be of interest to patients with hypermobility syndromes and their families, as well as to all those healthcare practitioners who may encounter such syndromes in the course of their work.
