An exploration and analysis of the 'age development' that all humans must traverse, from young adulthood to old age. The emotional and psychological stages that aging produces in all of us are documented using literature, history, myth, psycho-social research, and case studies for a broad perspective and understanding of the maturation process.Also included are two, extensive life simulation exercises to allow you to see what would happen if you had made different life choices ( if you could live your life over again).

". . . the second volume in a three-volume series focusing on the three phases of laboratory testing-preanalytical (Volume 1), analytical (Volume 2), and postanalytical (Volume 3). With leading experts in their specialty areas as contributing authors, this series is truly one of a kind and the first to consider the entire testing process under one publication series. This three-volume series is designed to provide the laboratory community with the latest information on advances and developments in the handling of specimens prior to testing, in workstation consolidation, and in new methodologies and analytical systems as well as the expansion of point-of-care testing and the explosion of information technology. It presents the challenges and innovations that should be expected as the technology and our healthcare delivery systems evolve.

<li>Volume 1 provides the reader with a comprehensive overview of healthcare and its impact on diagnostic services, the evolution of technology and testing services, workflow analysis, critical pathways and specimen processing, preanalytical laboratory information systems, and preanalytical instrumentation. </li>
<li>Volume 2 focuses on the use of technology, quality, and basic principles of instrumentation. Techniques and automated systems of all laboratory testing areas are presented, including total laboratory automation and point of care </li>
<li>Volume 3, tentatively scheduled to be published in July 2006, will address quality assurance and quality control issues, verification and reporting of results, postanalytical laboratory information systems and telemedicine, biosensors, the virtual clinical laboratory and artificial intelligence, and clinical laboratories in the 21st century.</li>

Clinical Diagnostic Technology - The Total Testing Process, Volume 1: The Preanalytical Phase

Allied Health Professions

In the 1960's marked changes occurred throughout the world in philosophies and policies related to man's role in life. These changes, prompted predominantly by extensive increases in knowledge and popula tion density, have produced increased pleasures as well as problems. The rising number of people and improved methods of communication and transportation have caused more relationships among people, with their pleasures, competitions, jealousies, conflicts of interest, oppressions, and crimes. Large assortments of drugs have been developed and are easily obtained. There are drugs to speed us up, slow us down, make us sleep, change our perspectives on life, promote propagation of life or prevent it, prolong life or terminate it, and modify the course of life in many ways. Also, numerous mechanical devices have been developed that influence the propagation of life, the termination of life, and the manner in which we live. Many people have changed their overall goals in life, and in par ticular have experienced major changes in attitudes and policies applying to sexual activity, marriage, birth control, abortion, welfare, children, old people, criminals, economics, social status, careers, education, euthanasia, and suicide. There also has been marked enlightenment concerning the effect of the chemical and physical status of the brain upon normal and abnormal thinking and behavior.
