The disability-adjusted life year (DALY) is a generic measure of health effect that can be used in cost-effectiveness analysis as an alternative to the quality-adjusted life year (QALY).

More than 100 years ago, Dr Casimir Funk suggested the existence of a family of organic substances that are essential for life and thus introduced the concept of "e;vital amines"e; as essential nutrients with a specific action, requiring only minute amount with the power to cure a specific disease.

In Cannabis Is Medicine, medical cannabis specialist Bonni Goldstein, MD, explains the science behind the use of this amazingly therapeutic plant and describes in easy-to-understand detail the recently discovered endocannabinoid system, involved in almost every human physiological process.

Through the contributions of global experts, this book meets the growing need to understand the implementation and development of pharmaceutical care.

The recent surge of interest in recombinant DNA research is understandable considering that biologists from all disciplines, using recently developed mo- lecular techniques, can now study with great precision the structure and regulation of specific genes.

Our motivation for putting together this book was the need for a single source reference that could be used as an introduction to cell-mediated cytotoxicity for newcomers to this field, such as students and fellows beginning work in our laboratories.
