Cerebral palsy
Cerebral palsy is a lifelong condition that affects the individual, family, and immediate community. Therefore, the goal of allowing the individual with cerebral palsy to live life with the least impact of the disability requires c- plex attention to the individual and the family. Furthermore, society needs to be sensitive and to accommodate individuals with disabilities by limiting architectural impediments and providing accessible public transportation and communication. The educational system provides the key means for helping the individual prepare to function in society to his or her maximum ability. In many ways, the medical care system probably has the least sign- icant role in preparing the child with cerebral palsy to function optimally in society. However, the medical care system is the place where parents first learn that their child has developmental issues outside the expected norm. It is almost universally the place where parents also expect the child to be made normal in our modern society. In earlier times, the parents would expect healing to possibly come from the doctor, but also they would place hope for healing in religion. As this belief in spiritual or miraculous healing has - creased, a significant font of hope has decreased for parents of young ch- dren with disabilities.

Computational biology in drug discovery and repurposing
Takes an in-depth look at the emerging and prospective field of computational biology and bioinformatics, which possesses the ability to analyze large accumulated biological data collected from sequence analysis of proteins and genes and cell population with an aim to make new predictions pertaining to drug discovery and new biology. The book explains the basic methodology associated with a bioinformatics and computational approach in drug designing. It then goes on to cover the implementation of computational programming, bioinformatics, pharmacophore modeling, biotechnological techniques, and pharmaceutical chemistry in designing drugs. The major advantage of intervention of computer language or programming is to cut down the number of steps and costs in the field of drug designing, reducing the repeating steps and saving time in screening the potent component for drug or vaccine designin
