Notices
Knowledge and best practice in this field are constantly changing. As new research and experience broaden our understand-
ing, changes in research methods, professional practices, or medical treatment may become necessary.
Practitioners and researchers must always rely on their own experience and knowledge in evaluating and using any informa-
tion, methods, compounds, or experiments described herein. In using such information or methods they should be mindful
of their own safety and the safety of others, including parties for whom they have a professional responsibility.
With respect to any drug or pharmaceutical products identified, readers are advised to check the most current information
provided (i) on procedures featured or (ii) by the manufacturer of each product to be administered, to verify the recom-
mended dose or formula, the method and duration of administration, and contraindications. It is the responsibility of
practitioners, relying on their own experience and knowledge of their patients, to make diagnoses, to determine dosages
and the best treatment for each individual patient, and to take all appropriate safety precautions.
To the fullest extent of the law, neither the Publisher nor the authors, contributors, or editors, assume any liability for any
