Pain is ubiquitous to human experience. When pain becomes chronically persistent after acute injuries are repaired or as diseases progress, health systems are challenged to reduce pain's negative impact on an individual patient's life trajectory and chronic pain's collective impact on public health. Pain Management in Vulnerable Populations presents a diverse set of chapters that examine this challenge through the lens of vulnerability. There are special considerations for patients who are considered pain-vulnerable with respect to assessment and treatment and the variability of their access to good care. Medicine's practices, while increasingly being guided by evidence-based algorithms from large data, are also becoming more personalized and tailored to individual patient needs. Each vulnerable group demands a unique approach - this book reveals the details behind the history, examination, and therapeutic options for vulnerable patients in pain. Individual chapters explore conceptual models of vulnerability to pain across the lifespan, beginning in infancy, and in specific clinical populations defined by age, gender, sexual orientation, clinical condition, and healthcare setting. Topics examined range from genomics to sociomedical contexts affecting care such as medical ethics, racial disparities, adverse childhood experiences, disability and workers'compensation, incarceration, torture, military, youth sport, and LGBTQ identity. Challenges to the management of the trajectory of pain are considered in settings ranging from emergency room, palliative and end-of-life care, and nursing homes, prisons, the battlefield, and developing nations. Chapters on illnesses such as sickle cell disease, substance use and mental illness, dental disease, obesity, suicide, HIV, COVID-19, and GI disease discuss personalized treatment plans for each patient's unique needs. Pain Management in Vulnerable Populations serves as an invaluable resource for pain physicians and will also appeal to primary care physicians as pain is one of the most frequently stated reasons for seeing a primary care physician.

Despite tremendous gains in medical knowledge, most conditions are managed, rather than cured, by medications. As a result, countless patients seek supplemental modes of care to better control their symptoms and conditions to improve their overall wellbeing. This reality spotlights the need for adjuvant medical procedures. Adjuvant medical care refers to any supportive therapy that enhances the outcome of medical measures already in place. Adjuvant care does not replace primary or traditional treatments, but instead serves as add-on care to the initial medical treatment plan prescribed by a health care provider. The addition of one or more non-prescription therapies (e.g., nutritional support, over-the-counter remedies, home care, dietary measures, supplements, etc.) to the primary medical management regimen has become increasingly popular and mainstream thanks to scientific studies that have documented favorable outcomes for many patients. The verifiable scientific merit of these additional medical options demonstrates their usefulness in the treatment of many medical conditions. The purpose of this handbook is to provide support to doctors and patients who are interested in safe and effective non-prescription and non-pharmacological medical therapies for specific conditions to minimize symptoms and optimize recovery and quality of life. • Helps doctors and patients discover additional therapies that can reduce pain, advance health outcomes, minimize complications and disability, and extend life.• Presents safe, reliable, and practical options that are available to reduce symptoms, maximize recovery, and positively augment the management of a variety of conditions. • Provides medical insight into less traditional, yet often effective, supportive options for enhancing and optimizing patient response to care.This book is a valuable resource for both doctors and patients who are committed to achieving the best possible medical outcomes through a variety of coordinated approaches.

In this book volume-2 proposal has been classified into Part IV: Models for SARS-CoV-2 and Part V: Treatment Strategies for SARS-CoV-2. With the emergence of new coronavirus variants, epidemiology, different host tropism permits a thorough analysis of their evolution and acquired adaptability to their host which need different animal models and treatment approaches. No studies are complete without animal models closely related to human physiology to replicate the disease and observe the pathology conditions as in human cases. Such animal models play a vital role in virus pathogenesis and prepare a therapeutic immune response. Here describe bio-engineered transgenic mouse model inserting with specific genes, or CRISPR-Case9 gene-editing tool has been used previously for SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV. The chapter will deal with culture techniques or cell lines for COVID-19—also histopathology of COVID-19, essential proteins that up or down-regulate SARS-CoV-2. The last chapter of this part will describe other diseases having similar signs and symptoms and their differentiation. There is no specific treatment available to date, just symptomatic therapy. However, scientists will elucidate effective antiviral drugs in clinical trials, phytochemicals, photomedicine such as ultraviolet A & B, homemade remedies, blood plasma transfusion, stem cell therapy, and computational approaches in vivo and in vitro trials. This book will appear as a baseline for academicians, scientists, and health professionals as still, research is going to overcome this outbreak of COVID-19, the novelty of best animal models, and find an effective treatment. However, just a single book proposal like this wouldn't have flourished without enthusiasm and determined publishers'and investigators'strength to take time from their busy schedule and subsidize on time. We thank the whole investigators who contributed, directly and indirectly, to bring it to reality.
