She is passionate about teaching patients, families and providers about the practical aspects of transitioning care.
Audience: This book was written for the Primary care provider (physician, physician assistant, nurse practitioner) who works with pediatric patients. However, pediatric specialists will find it extremely useful as well. Transition of care from pediatric to adult centered medical care has become a topic of intense interest in the last few years, and many publications describe the ideal process in generalities. However, there are few places for busy practitioners to turn for practical knowledge. This book is written for the post graduate medical faculty, whether in a private practice or academic setting. Professionals in related fields of occupational therapy, physical therapy, social work, psychology, nutrition, education, who work with children and adolescents will find this information useful as well.

The readers will find new properties of their target phenomena, for example, a bio-sensor can show different responses according to human intent; a specific chemical reaction system reacts easily against human intent; structure(s) in living-body is important to react against human intent. In industries of development of Tera Hz devices, innovators and researchers will have interest in weak radiation from human body. Nonprofessional people will have interest in history of parapsychological study in Japan and China. They will found various studies executed by Japanese and Chinese. Also, they will be interesting to a new fact that a layer-structure is detected around a human body in experiments; which layer-structure has been claimed by the mystic and the healer as “bio-energy field”.
