In this final chapter of European Pain Management the editors summarize what has been learned from taking stock of the experiences in the 37 countries. There are common issues, such as the need to keep pace with the change in demand as demographics change, the requirements for creating specialty status in pain management, and the need to update and innovate with new methods and new science, and the challenges of working within different policy requirements, especially in regard to the control of medicines. There are examples of innovation in practice in all countries. Finally, we discuss the need for greater planning across Europe in order to innovate novel, sustainable models of the organization and delivery of care.

The final chapter describes future research and technology for curation. Personal archives will continue to grow as new types of personal data and systems play even greater roles in our everyday lives. As a result, we believe that users will confront even greater challenges of organizing their personal information. The chapter first assesses emerging technology, including lifelogging and machine learning, as well as automatic organization of personal information. It outlines requirements for new PIM theory and new methods.

Insight Into

With the emergence of nanotechnology, new methods have been developed for engineering various nanoparticles for biomedical applications. Nanotheranostics is a burgeoning research field with tremendous prospects for the improvement of diagnosis and treatment of various cancers. However, the development of biocompatible and efficient drug/gene delivery theranostic systems still remains a challenge. Green synthetic approach of nanoparticles with low capital and operating expenses, reduced environmental pollution and better biocompatibility and stability is a latest and novel field, which is advantageous over chemical or physical nanoparticle synthesis methods. In this article, we summarize the recent research progresses related to green synthesized nanoparticles for cancer theranostic applications, and we also conclude with a look at the current challenges and insight into the future directions based on recent developments in these areas.

New Perspective

Multisensory interactions in perception are pervasive and fundamental, as we have documented throughout this book. In this final chapter, we propose that contemporary work on multisensory processing is a paradigm shift in perception science, calling for a radical reconsideration of empirical and theoretical questions within an entirely new perspective. In making our case, we emphasize that multisensory perception is the norm, not the exception, and we remark that multisensory interactions can occur early in sensory processing. We reiterate the key notions that multisensory interactions come in different kinds and that principles of multisensory processing must be considered when tackling multisensory daily-life problems. We discuss the role of unisensory processing in a multisensory world, and we conclude by suggesting future directions for the multisensory field.

Biomedical Treatment

Patients with advanced disease commonly report pain as one of their most feared and distressing symptoms. A biomedical treatment approach that focuses solely on biological factors can be helpful but often fails to adequately address important psychological, social, and spiritual factors that can contribute to pain. Behavioural and psychosocial approaches to understanding and treating pain in patients with advanced disease can be quite helpful in this context. These approaches not only have the potential to reduce pain but also improve patients’ overall adjustment to life-limiting disease. This chapter provides an overview of these approaches. It is divided into four sections, including a summary of the prevalence and undertreatment of pain in patients with advanced disease, a rationale for behavioural and psychosocial approaches to pain management, an overview of the most common and effective behavioural and psychosocial approaches, and clinical considerations and future directions.

Academic Study

Pain takes a significant toll on individuals, on families, and on society. In part that damage is mediated by the loss of occupation, and the unwelcome distortion of roles, of financial capability, and of purpose. We judged that the effects of work on pain, and equally of pain on work, are becoming invisible. There is too little serious academic study on what are major drivers of modern society and well-being. This book draws together leaders in their field to teach us how we can re-conceptualize our response to the current challenges in the field of pain and work. Our final chapter comprises a conceptual and analytical map of the forces of change in work, occupation, and pain management. We use this to suggest directions for research and policy and how we can innovate, as we find better solutions for managing one of the most significant health burdens of our age.

Previous chapters in this book have been dedicated to exploring the use of the Unified Protocol for the Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders (UP) with a variety of emotional disorders, and those chapters present compelling evidence for the efficacy of the UP across the range of these disorders. This evidence has now inspired further research efforts to better understand the contribution of individual treatment components, as well as to evaluate new methods of treatment delivery with the goal of furthering dissemination. The purpose of this chapter is to describe future directions and projects related to the UP, including dismantling studies, dissemination efforts, and the development of an Internet-delivered form of the intervention. Further, we discuss how these projects will enhance our understanding of the UP and how these endeavors will further a clinician’s ability to provide efficient, effective care.

Camera trapping in wildlife management and research is a growing global phenomenon. The technology is advancing very quickly, providing unique opportunities for collecting new biological knowledge. In order for fellow camera trap researchers and managers to share their knowledge and experience, the First International Camera Trapping Colloquium in Wildlife Management and Research was held in Sydney, Australia. Camera Trapping brings together papers from a selection of the presentations at the colloquium and provides a benchmark of the international developments and uses of camera traps for monitoring wildlife for research and management. Four major themes are presented: case studies demonstrating camera trapping for monitoring; the constraints and pitfalls of camera technologies; design standards and protocols for camera trapping surveys; and the identification, management and analyses of the myriad images that derive from camera trapping studies. The final chapter provides future directions for research using camera traps. Remarkable photographs are included, showing interesting, enlightening and entertaining images of animals 'doing their thing', making it an ideal reference for wildlife managers, conservation organisations, students and academics, pest animal researchers, private and public land managers, wildlife photographers and recreational hunters.
