Excerpt: Miles Dewey Davis III (May 26, 1926 September 28, 1991) was an American trumpeter, bandleader, and composer. Widely considered one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, Miles Davis was, with his musical groups, at the forefront of several major developments in jazz music, including bebop, cool jazz, hard bop, modal jazz, and jazz fusion. Many well-known musicians rose to prominence as members of Davis' ensembles, including saxophonists Gerry Mulligan, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, George Coleman, Wayne Shorter, and Kenny Garrett; trombonist J. J. Johnson; pianists Horace Silver, Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock, Joe Zawinul, Chick Corea, and Keith Jarrett; guitarists John McLaughlin, John Scofield and Mike Stern; bassists Paul Chambers, Ron Carter, Marcus Miller and Dave Holland; and drummers Philly Joe Jones, Tony Williams, Billy Cobham and Jack DeJohnette. On October 7, 2008, his album Kind of Blue, released in 1959, received its fourth platinum certification from the RIAA, signifying sales of 4 million copies. Miles Davis was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. Davis was noted as "one of the key figures in the history of jazz". On November 5, 2009, Rep. John Conyers of Michigan sponsored a measure in the US House of Representatives to recognize and commemorate the album Kind of Blue on its 50th anniversary. The measure also affirms jazz as a national treasure and "encourages the United States government to preserve and advance the art form of jazz music." It passed, unanimously, with a vote of 4090 on December 15, 2009. Miles Davis was born on May 26, 1926, to a relatively affluent family in Alt...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=20405 ... Read more

From the author: This program evaluated the effectiveness of a sickle cell disease (SCD) education program for teachers of students with SCD in their classroom. Teachers with students in a remediation program for students participated in an educational program consisting of four domains: Inheritance and Prevalence, Common Complications, Strokes, and Individual Education Plans (IEP). A 30- to 45-minute presentation was given with a pretest and posttest. Eighty-one teachers who taught grades K-12 completed the program. Most teachers understood the complications offerer and pain, risks of strokes occurring at any age, and the purpose of IEPs. Overall the rate of correct answers increased from 72.5% to 83.1%, p = 0.0001. Teachers improved their understanding of heredity (32% vs. 66%, p = 0.0001), prevalence (81% vs. 94%, p = 0.039), silent stroke diagnosis (21% vs. 80%, p = 0.0001) and overt stroke therapy (40% vs. 75%, p = 0.0001). No significant impact on teacher knowledge occurred for the contents of IEPs (80% vs. 87%, p = 0.227). Teachers of students with SCD increased knowledge about SCD following the program.

Product Description
Sickle cell disease is best known as an inherited hemolytic disorder of defective hemoglobin that distorts red blood cell morphology, function and lifespan. It is less well known as a disease that targets the microvasculature, characterized by increased expression of cell adhesion molecules, enhanced production of reactive oxygen species, abnormal blood cell-endothelial cell interactions inpostcapillary venules and altered vasomotor responses in arterioles.These microvascular responses are crucial to the initiation and progression of vasoocclusive crises, the disease¿s criticalpathophysiological event that leads to pain crises, organ injury and early mortality.This work considers sickle cell disease vascular pathology in terms of the cellular, molecular and biochemical players that participate in the evolution,progression and resolution of vasoocclusive crises. The work provides a comprehensive overview of the complex pathophysiology of sickle cell disease and is an ideal reference source for professionals in the medical and scientific community. ...
