Upward mobility through the path of higher education has been an article of faith for generations of working-class, low-income, and immigrant college students. While we know this path usually entails financial sacrifices and hard work, very little attention has been paid to the deep personal compromises such students have to make as they enter worlds vastly different from their own. Measuring the true cost of higher education for those from disadvantaged backgrounds, this book looks at the ethical dilemmas of upward mobility—the broken ties with family and friends, the severed connections with former communities, and the loss of identity—faced by students as they strive to earn a successful place in society. The book reframes the college experience, factoring in not just educational and career opportunities but also essential relationships with family, friends, and community. Finding that student strivers tend to give up the latter for the former, negating their sense of self, the book seeks to reverse this course. It urges educators to empower students with a new narrative of upward mobility—one that honestly situates ethical costs in historical, social, and economic contexts and that allows students to make informed decisions for themselves. The book paves a hopeful road so that students might achieve social mobility while retaining their best selves.

Наследственный ангиоотек (НАО) с дефицитом С1ингибитора (С1ИНГ) представляет собой редкое заболевание, которое оказывает сильное воздействие на жизнь пациентов как физически, так и эмоционально. Непредсказуемость атак влияет на повседневную жизнь, выбор профессии, социальную активность. Кроме того, страх перед развитием отека, а также связанными с ним болью и риском смерти приводит к депрессивным расстройствам, характерным для хронических, в особенности жизнеугрожающих заболеваний. Появление современных патогенетических препаратов способно минимизировать влияние НАО и улучшить качество жизни больных. В основе терапии НАО лежат долгосрочная профилактика, краткосрочная профилактика и купирование острых атак. В данной статье речь пойдет о долгосрочной профилактике.Hereditary angioedema (HAE) due to of C1inhibitor deficiency is a rare disease, which causes a strong physical and psychological impact on patients lives. HAE affects daily life, career opportunities, and social activity. In addition, fear of the edema development, as well as the associated with it pain and risk of death leads to depressive disorders specific for chronic (especially lifethreatening) diseases. The emergence of modern pathogenetic drugs can minimize the effect of HAE and improve the patients quality of life. There are three different therapeutic strategies that are used for HAE treatment: longterm prophylaxis, shortterm and ondemand therapy for acute attacks. This article focuses on longterm prophylaxis.
