Product Description:

The liberalization of markets has lead to record levels of international investments. Icon Group Ltd.’s primary mission is to assist international managers to better plan and implement strategies in a global economy. It does so by providing various specialized industry reports, data bases, publications and services to its clients. This report is one of many published by Icon Group Ltd. to assist executives and planners in monitoring and analyzing world markets. In addition to industry-specific studies, Icon Group Ltd.’s reports cover human resources management, export strategies, investment strategies, entry & marketing strategies, political and economic risk assessments and legal trends (e.g., intellectual property, criminal justice, search & seizure). This reports concisely compiles a variety of official and proprietary information in a format that allows the reader to quickly benchmark a country vis-à-vis its region and the world as a whole. While attention has been made to provide the most recent information available, the reader should consult with local authorities concerning any recent changes. In addition to Icon Group’s propriety sources, the information presented in our reports is compiled from various government agencies (e.g. local ministries), international organizations (e.g., the World Bank, the United Nations), and national authorities (e.g. the Central Intelligence Agency, the U.S. Department of State or Commerce).

This report covers the world outlook for government public health activities across 235 countries. For each year reported, the estimates are given for the latent demand for the country in question. Icon Group uses a number of proprietary econometric models which project economic changes within each country and across countries. From there, market potential estimates are created. The units used in this report are: US $ mln.

As shown in the report, the market potential for government public health activities is expected to reach $267,996.77 million by 2005. The distribution of the world market, however, will not be evenly distributed across regions. Europe will be the largest market with $94,257.92 million or 35.17 percent, followed by North America & the Caribbean with $80,456.85 million or 30.02 percent, and then Asia with $56,472.23 million or 21.07 percent of the world market. In essence, if a firm targets these top 3 regions, they cover come 86.26 percent of the world wide demand for government public health activities.

Summary: Great tool
Rating: 5

I have all three sets of the cards. I think they are outstanding tool for the review. They have just the right amount of info, are super easy to use even on the go. You can just take a certain part of them and review for example on the train, bus while commuting. They are organized by disciplines so I used them after each reading from the book. I liked them a lot and they helped me a lot thanks to their question and answer format.

Summary: excellent condition. very useful cards
Rating: 5

it took a while for the cards to get to me. i guess it was the fault of the post office because it was shipped on time. but other than that, excellent service

Summary: Do not order books from Amazon
Rating: 1

Does anyone have similar problem just found it was delivered to me missing one card
I hated ordering from Amazon but this time it will be my last
Do not order books from Amazon

Summary: flashcard review
Rating: 1

I tried using the fashcards for my preparation for step 2. I found that these flashcards didnt help me at all. Obviously the questions are not written the way the flashcards are, and besides, the questions on these cards are pretty elemental, meaning that the question on the actual exam are way much more complicated. So overall, i did not find these cards usefull.

# Pages: 57

Synopsis
In the 20th century, we witnessed the most dramatic improvements in women’s health in human history. At every level, the quality of women’s health care was enhanced and strengthened through advances in research, behavioral patterns, diet, pre- and post-natal care, new drug and surgical treatments, immunizations, and the general commitment of millions of Americans to lead healthier lives.

While there is no single accomplishment that stands out more than any other, perhaps the most important is the simple recognition that men and women have some fundamentally different health needs and that women’s health needs should be pursued in their own right. Socioeconomic concerns, such as poverty and issues related to violence, factor into our approach to women’s health. And we have come to see that extending life is not, in itself, sufficient: the longer women live, the more threatened they are by such conditions as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Duration of life and quality of life go hand in hand, which makes preventive care, more effective and immediate treatments, and access to health care all the more important. By the turn of the next century, the challenges facing women in the arena of medicine will likely be different from those we are dealing with now. Technologies will have changed dramatically even as knowledge has increased substantially. My encouragement to those who might read this ten decades from now is to learn from the past, even as we are seeking to do now.

Consider the lessons learned, and taught, by previous generations. Ethical principles and enduring moral convictions transcend time. The passing of a century will not alter them.

Summary: Terrific resource with a personal touch!
Rating: 5

I gave copies of The Healthy Woman to my mom and sister and several friends. All of them are thrilled with it! They like the topics covered, the clear format, and the illustrations. My mom is bringing it to her doctor to discuss the recommended screenings and immunizations. The personal stories which accompany each chapter help bring the information into human terms. I highly recommend this book - it was my most successful holiday gift this year!

Summary: Terrific resource with a personal touch!
Rating: 5

I gave copies of The Healthy Woman to my mom and sister and several friends. All of them are thrilled with it! They like the topics covered, the clear format, and the illustrations. My mom is bringing it to her doctor to discuss the recommended screenings and immunizations. The personal stories which accompany each chapter help bring the information into human terms. I highly recommend this book - it was my most successful holiday gift this year!

BRS Behavioral Science (Board Review Series)
By Barbara Fadem

Publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Number Of Pages: 216
Publication Date: 2008-10-01
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0781782570
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780781782579

Product Description:

The Board Review Series (BRS) is aimed at providing basic knowledge as it relates to clinical situations and is used primarily by medical students studying for the United States Medical Licensing Examinations (USMLE). BRS Behavioral Science, Fifth Edition covers material on this subject that is addressed on USMLE Step 1, written in outline format to provide an efficient method of studying behavioral science for USMLE. The book includes at least 500 USMLE-style questions with accompanying annotated answers. An exam follows each chapter and a Comprehensive Exam is included at the end of the book. A companion Website will offer the fully searchable text and an interactive question bank.

Summary: just OK
Rating: 3

this book is not a bad study guide. it has a lot of MCQs to help your review. personally, i preferred the rapid review behavioral science

Summary: What makes it so great?
Rating: 5

Taking this class in medical school was a breeze with this book. I read it cover to cover easily. The author is very good about keeping each individual chapter only a handful of pages long, but the text doesn’t become too wordy or detailed. Diagrams are very well done, and it would be worth it to have this book for these alone. However, this book isn’t the perfect reference. It is a little long for a review before the boards, especially since this is a low yield topic. Though I highly recommend using it during class. If you want to slim the book down even more, the high-yield series has one that is equally as good.

Summary: All you need for Boards
Rating: 5

Great charts - all I needed for my Psychopatholgy course and definitely all that’s needed for Boards.

Summary: Great Book
Rating: 5

I’ve had the privelege of having the author be my professor at UMDNJ. Knowing Dr. Fadem personally, I can see the kind of care she puts into teaching students. It is with this same care that this book is written. This book is a great review of the material and is very useful for the Behavioral Science shelf exam (and Step 1 review)

Medical Care Output and Productivity (National Bureau of Economic Research Studies in Income and Wealth)
By David M. Cutler, Ernst R. Berndt

Publisher: University Of Chicago Press
Number Of Pages: 544
Publication Date: 2001-04-01
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0226132269
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780226132266

Product Description:

With the United States and other developed nations spending as much as 14 percent of their GDP on medical care, economists and policy analysts are asking what these countries are getting in return. Yet it remains frustrating and difficult to measure the productivity of the medical care service industries.

This volume takes aim at that problem, while taking stock of where we are in our attempts to solve it. Much of this analysis focuses on the capacity to measure the value of technological change and other health care innovations. A key finding suggests that growth in health care spending has coincided with an increase in products and services that together reduce mortality rates and promote additional health gains. Concerns over the apparent increase in unit prices of medical care may thus understate positive impacts on consumer welfare. When appropriately adjusted for such quality improvements, health care prices may actually have fallen. Provocative and compelling, this volume not only clarifies one of the more nebulous issues in health care analysis, but in so doing addresses an area of pressing public policy concern.

Stalking: Psychiatric Perspectives and Practical Approaches

Stalking: Psychiatric Perspectives and Practical Approaches
By Debra A. Pinals

Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
Number Of Pages: 384
Publication Date: 2007-06-25
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0195189841
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780195189841

Product Description:

Over the last two decades, stalking has received increasingly widespread attention. The establishment of anti-stalking legislation has helped to spur interest in stalking research and the forensic assessment of stalkers. Popular representations of stalking have made the public more aware of this phenomenon. It has long been the responsibility of mental health professionals to provide assessments of and treatment for stalkers and their victims, and as criminal cases involving defendants charged with stalking become more common, it is now also the responsibility of legal professionals to be knowledgeable about psychiatric aspects of stalking behavior and the risks that so often must be minimized through legal action or a combination of clinical and legal interventions. This volume provides a thorough overview of current scientific and clinical research about stalking, along with practical guidance and original commentary from the Psychiatry and the Law Committee of the Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry, an organization recognized for its contributions to mental health literature. In addition to covering the most widely discussed scientific topics related to stalking, including classification of stalking behaviors, risk assessment and risk management of stalkers, and the stalking experience from the perspective of victims, this book examines celebrity and special target stalking, cyberstalking, forensic assessment, and juvenile and adolescent stalking. Stalking: Psychiatric Perspectives and Practical Approaches provides a novel and comprehensive contribution to a field in need of an up-to-date text, written from the vantage point of forensic psychiatrists who encounter stalkers and their victims in their distinct roles as treatment providers and forensic evaluators. The prism of stalking and the risks involved continue to fascinate and frighten. In pursuit of rounded coverage, the authors have incorporated findings from numerous studies and analyzed these findings from several theoretical perspectives. Every chapter has been written from the vantage point of a committee of nationally recognized forensic psychiatrists who offer their perspectives on this fascinating but complex topic. Mental health professionals, members of the judiciary, law enforcement professionals, media personnel, and the public will no doubt find this text to be an informative and useful resource.

Summary: A Tour De Force on the Subject of Stalking
Rating: 5

As one of the 17 co-authors of this text, it is appropriate for me to focus on how the text has been received by psychiatric peers.

This textbook has been highly praised by the psychiatric community. Among others, two comments that have been made about the text include:

"This is an exemplary review of what is known about stalking by a superb coterie of psychiatric scholars and clinicians." — J. Reid Meloy, PhD, ABPP, Chairman, Forensis, Inc., Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, University of California, San Diego School of Medicine

and

"This comprehensive monograph covers a frightening topic from empirical research and classification to practical victim protective strategies, from risk assessment to courtroom tactics. Drawing on recognized authorities, this book will clearly become he most useful current treatise in the field." — Thomas G. Gutheil, MD, Professor of Psychiatry and Co-Founder, Program in Psychiatry and the Law, BIDMC, Harvard Medical School

The textbook was co-authored by 17 of the world’s eminent forensic psychiatrists, including (in alphabetical order) Kenneth L. Apppelbaum, MD, Peter Ash, MD, John R. Cooke, MD, JD, Todd Elwyn, JD, MD, Deborah Giorgi-Guarnieri, JD, MD, Graham D. Glancy, MB, ChB, FRC Psych., FRCP (C), David J. Kapley, JD, MD, James Knoll, MD, Douglas Mossman, MD, Alan W. Newman, MD, Michael, A. Norko, MD, Robert T. M. Phillips, MD, PhD, DFAPA, Debra A. Pinals, MD, Mordecai N. Potash, MD, Phillip J. Resnick, MD, Charles L. Scott, MD, and John Tennison, MD.

Body Matters: A Phenomenology of Sickness, Disease, and Illness

Publisher: Lexington Books

Publication Date: 2008-06-28
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0739126989
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780739126981

Product Description:

Written in a jargon-free way, Body Matters provides a clear and accessible phenomenological critique of core assumptions in mainstream biomedicine and explores ways in which health and illness are experienced and interpreted differently in various socio-historical situations. By drawing on the disciplines of literature, cultural anthropology, sociology, medical history, and philosophy, the authors attempt to dismantle common presuppositions we have about human afflictions and examine how the methods of phenomenology open up new ways to interpret the body and to re-envision therapy.

Product Description:

Written in a jargon-free way, Body Matters provides a clear and accessible phenomenological critique of core assumptions in mainstream biomedicine and explores ways in which health and illness are experienced and interpreted differently in various socio-historical situations. By drawing on the disciplines of literature, cultural anthropology, sociology, medical history, and philosophy, the authors attempt to dismantle common presuppositions we have about human afflictions and examine how the methods of phenomenology open up new ways to interpret the body and to re-envision therapy.

Bioterror: Anthrax, Influenza, and the Future of Public Health Security
By R. William Johnstone

Publisher: Praeger
Number Of Pages: 232
Publication Date: 2008-09-30
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0275993264
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780275993269

Product Description:

This book uses the 2001 anthrax attacks as its point of departure for an analysis of the past, present, and future of America’s preparedness to deal with major challenges to public health, including bioterrorism and pandemic flu. The study identified the strength and weaknesses of the system while making recommendations for improvements. This allows the U.S. to be better prepared if faced with a larger or different biological threat. This book looks for linkages not only between bioterrorists and pandemic defenses, but also between public health security and the wider field of homeland security. Johnstone highlights some key foundation plans and strategies that are to serve as a basis for public health security. Failure to address these crucial issues not only creates unfounded mandates but also inhibits priority setting, leadership, and accountablity.

Bioterror: Anthrax, Influenza, and the Future of Public Health Security utilizes a large number of sources from within both the public health and public policy communities to document how each sector responded to the anthrax attacks and re-emergent infectious diseases, and how those responses have evolved to the present day, As with other areas of homeland security, sustained progress in public health security is not likely until basic questions about funding priorities and leadership are successfully addressed. In the response to the only mass casualty event in the United States since 2001, Hurricane Katrina, and in various emergency simulation exercises such as TOPOFF series, major performance deficiencies have been observed. This book brings together a variety of sources, the best available evidence on the status of the public health security system at three distinct points: before 2001; during and immediately after the anthrax attacks; and in the period from 2004 to the present.

Pandemic Influenza Preparedness, Response, And Recovery Guide For Critical Infrastructure And Key Resources
Publisher: The U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Published: September 2006
Pages: 84
Topics: Health, Medicine, Disaster and Recovery, Care Givers, Civil Emergencies, Business Responsibilities

Synopsis
Successful pandemic preparedness demands full participation from private sector businesses of all types and sizes. Businesses know best which activities and personnel in their operations are most critical. They know what priorities and choices they need to consider in maintaining essential levels of service and how advance planning and preparedness can help sustain their critical infrastructure. While the government continues to make progress in pandemic planning, it still has work to do to ensure all CI/KR sectors are planning, as well. Private sector planning must be well coordinated across our interdependent critical infrastructures and between all appropriate public and private entities. The Pandemic Influenza Preparedness, Response, and Recovery Guide is a positive first step toward achieving this essential outcome

Ophthalmology: Journal of The American Academy of Ophthalmology - Volume 116, Number 5, May 2009
Volume 116, Issue 5, Pages A1-A40, 821-1020 (May 2009)
ISSN: 0161-6420

Ophthalmology, the official journal of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, publishes original, peer-reviewed reports of research in ophthalmology, including basic science investigations and clinical studies. Topics include new diagnostic and surgical techniques, treatment methods, instrument updates, the latest drug findings, results of clinical trials, and research findings. Ophthalmology also publishes major reviews of specific topics by acknowledged authorities.

The objective of the American Academy of Ophthalmology in publishing Ophthalmology is to provide opportunities for the free exchange of ideas and information.

This Issue at a Glance:
24-Hour Assessment of Intraocular Pressure
in Glaucoma Patients
In the first study to evaluate optic disc appearance in relation to 24-hour
intraocular pressure (IOP), Deokule et al (p. 833) found that untreated
glaucoma patients with a concentric optic disc enlargement demonstrate
higher mean IOP and a greater number of IOP peaks in the nocturnal
period compared with those with non-concentric optic disc appearance.
This study involved 75 eyes of 45 patients with primary open angle
glaucoma whose IOP was assessed for 24 hours in a sleep laboratory. The
optic disc appearance for each eye was classified as either concentric or
non-concentric. The mean nocturnal IOP was significantly greater in the
concentric group (24.03.8 mmHg) compared with the non-concentric
group (21.91.9 mmHg). The majority of IOP peaks in patients with the
concentric optic disc appearance occurred overnight compared with the
diurnal period of patients with the non-concentric optic disc appearance.
The authors conclude measuring IOP only during office hours may lead
to an underestimation of IOP.
Maintaining Corneal Epithelial Homeostasis
in Absence of Limbal Epithelial Stem Cells
It is widely believed that the limbus plays a key role in maintaining
the central corneal epithelium and that damage to it results in abnormal
corneal epithelium. In this case series of 5 patients (8 eyes) with
clinically diagnosed total stem cell deficiency, where the central
corneal epithelium was preserved over a long period of time, Dua et
al (p. 856) present evidence raising questions about the role of the
limbus in normal corneal epithelial homeostasis. Patients presented
with total limbal stem cell deficiency in one or both eyes, with a
central area of normal corneal epithelial cells. Clinical slit lamp
examination and in vivo confocal microscopy over a mean of 60
months revealed the existence and survival of a healthy sheet of
corneal epithelial cells in the presence of a clinically apparent total
limbal stem cell deficiency. The authors conclude that these findings
support the hypothesis that physiological corneal epithelial homeostasis
can be maintained in the absence of clinically detectable limbal
epithelial stem cells.
Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocyte Immunotherapy
for Recurrent, Metastatic Melanoma
Yeh et al (p. 981) describe the course of a 35-year-old Caucasian man
who, after successful eradication of metastatic melanoma with adoptive
cell transfer (ACT) therapy, developed chronic bilateral panuveitis that
was not responsive to local immunosuppressive therapy. The patient
underwent ACT of ex vivo expanded, autologous tumorreactive
tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes plus interleukin-2 therapy,
after a lymphodepleting regimen of cyclophosphamide and fludarabine,
which resulted in a complete remission. However, the patient
subsequently developed bilateral panuveitis, hearing loss, vitiligo, poliosis,
and alopecia requiring local ophthalmic immunosuppressive therapy.
Although the patient did not present with the typical features of acute
Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome, his “sunset-glow” fundus resembled
the convalescent ophthalmic phase observed in patients with the
chronic form of VKH disease. The high percentage of tumor-reactive
T-cells obtained from the aqueous fluid was indicative of a breakdown of
the blood-ocular barrier, loss of immune-privilege, and T-cell homing to
melanocytes within the iris, ciliary body, and choroidal tissues. This
patient’s course highlights the fine balance between tumor-specific immunity
and loss of self-tolerance.
Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Expression in
Giant Cell Arteritis
Giant cell arteritis (GCA), a granulomatous form of vasculitis, produces
a variety of symptoms including blindness, jaw claudication, headaches,
stroke, and aortic arch syndrome. The disease is treated with corticosteroids
or immunomodulating agents. Seeking a non-corticosteroid treatment
alternative, Dimitrijevic et al (p. 990) focused this study on angiotensin
II, a vasoactive peptide involved in vessel inflammation during
atherosclerosis. Angiotensin II receptor inhibitors have proven effective
in preventing atherosclerosis. The authors conducted an immunohistochemical
study of temporal arteries using archival formalin-fixed,
paraffin-embedded tissue of 10 patients withGCAand 10 control patients
clinically suspected of having GCA but diagnosed as not having GCA.
Their results showed that angiotensin type 1 (AT1) receptors played a role
in the development of GCA. High levels of AT1 receptor expression were
found in the vascular smooth muscle cells and inflammatory cells in the
temporal arteries of patients with GCA. They conclude that inhibiting
the renin-angiotensin system may serve as a non-corticosteroid alternative
for the treatment of GCA inflammation.
FL-41 Tint Provides Benefit in Benign
Essential Blepharospasm
Blackburn et al (p. 997) found that FL-41 lenses provide a significant
benefit to patients with benign essential blepharospasm (BEB). The
FL-41 is a rose-colored tint that blocks visible light at the green-to-blue
end of the spectrum. The authors conducted 2 studies. The first study was
a randomized crossover study comparing the perceived improvement in
light sensitivity and activities of daily living provided by FL-41 lenses in
30 patients with BEB. The second study used surface electromyography
to evaluate the effects of FL-41 on blink frequency, duration, and force in
26 patients with BEB and 26 controls. Most participants observed improvement
with both FL-41 and gray-tinted lenses. However, FL-41
lenses provided superior improvement in reading, fluorescent light
sensitivity, overall light sensitivity, blepharospasm frequency, and blepharospasm
severity. In addition, FL-41 lenses reduced mean blink rate,
compared with both rose- and gray-tinted lenses, and reduced eyelid
contraction force compared with rose-tinted lenses. The authors conclude
that FL-41 tinted spectacles represent a viable option to help patients
improve BEB symptoms.

Summary: Awsome Magazine
Rating: 5

I love this magazine, it’s chocked full of to the point info. i’m excited to always get the next issue, best mag by far.

Summary: Same Old Stuff
Rating: 1

500 pages filled with 400 pages of advertisements, and 100 pages of the same old routines with different faces. Flip through 20 pages of ads to find an article. And, most ads look like articles.

Summary: bodybuilding the way it’s meant to be
Rating: 5

The magazine is made exclusively for hardcore bodybuilders. If you’re into fitness, this magazine ain’t for you. However, if you’re into BODYBUILDING - HARDCORE, then this is the magazine for you. It is jam-packed with muscle upon muscle of some of the most hardcore bodybuilders in the business.

Summary: Poor Performance
Rating: 1

I ordered this magazine as a gift, and, so far, the first two issues have been sent to me rather than to the intended gift recipient. There must be a better way to handle gift subscriptions. I supplied the address of the gift recipient when I placed this order. The same thing happened last year, and I do not intend to order gifts from Amazon again.

Summary: No Bull, no sissy GQ type workout, no Girly men
Rating: 5

Sorry, if you are looking for fitness models, look at mens fitness or the "new" format of Muscle and Fitness "the GQ of Fitness magazines".

This is in your face, hardcore professional bodybuilding at it most pure.
If you don’t like frank discussions of real bodybuilding, buy something else.
Unfortunately, now that the "National Inquirer" has bought Weider productions, there are very few real bodybuilding magazines available.

IE, if you’ve never puked, or almost puked, after a heavy leg day, you probably just won’t get it. Buy "Men’s Health" and worry about what cologne you’re wearing to the gym instead.

If you’re really into it, this ones gotta be on the list with Int’l Musclemag and the "occasional" good copy of Flex.

ISBN-10 / ASIN: 8847007216
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9788847007215

Product Description:

Incisional hernia surgery has witnessed an important progress over the last years, not only as far as the pathophysiological and etiopathogenetic aspects are concerned, but also from a technical point of view.

Thanks to the recent findings on genetical disorders of the collagen, incisional hernia is today considered a true "disease of the abdominal wall". Surgeons need to be aware of all the different repairing techniques, in order to make an elective choice and to keep side effects and recidives under control. Today, on the basis of the most recent research on synthesis of collagen and collagenolysis, the treatment of the incisional hernia should not disregard the use of synthetic prostheses and of biomaterials, both in the routinal surgical practice and in the most complex clinical cases.

Surgeons, surgical residents, and medical students will find this volume very useful in their daily practice.

Product Description:

The study of infectious diseases has undergone major changes since its infancy when it was largely a documentation of epidemics. It has now evolved into a dynamic phenomenon involving the ecology of the infectious agent, pathogenesis in the host, reservoirs and vetors, as well as the complex mechanisms concerned in the spread of infection and the extent to which this spread occurs. Rapid globalization has led to unprecedented interest in infectious diseases worldwide and their effect on complex population dynamics including migration, famine, fire, war, and terrorism. It is now essential for public health officials to understand the basic science behind infectious disease and, likewise, students studying ID must have a broader understanding of the implications of infectious disease in a public health context as well as clinical presentation and prevention. The clear demand for an integrated approach has led to the publication of this text.

Product Description:

In 2005, the National Academies released the report "Guidelines for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research", which offered a common set of ethical standards for a field that, due to the absence of comprehensive federal funding, was lacking national standards for research. In order to keep the guidelines up to date, given the rapid pace of scientific developments in the field of stem cell research, the Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research Advisory Committee was established in 2006 with support from The Ellison Medical Foundation, The Greenwall Foundation, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. As it did in 2007, the Committee identified issues that warranted revision, and this book addresses those issues in a second set of amendments. Most importantly, this book addresses new scientific developments in reprogramming of somatic cells to pluripotency by adding a new section and revising other relevant sections of the guidelines.

Publication Date: 2006-03-28
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1578068673
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781578068678

Product Description:

Herpes simplex viruses are capable of causing a wide variety of infections, including genital herpes, which is so common a sexually transmitted disease that it affects one in five people in the United States. Understanding Herpes is an accessible sourcebook about the virus, its various strains, the ways in which it is transmitted, its symptoms, and the most effective treatments for fighting infection and aftereffects. The book also details how the virus can manifest itself in AIDS patients, pregnant women, and newborns, and discusses the emotional problems that can be caused by herpes infections.

Revised chapters provide:

* New information regarding the diagnosis and treatment of genital herpes

* New breakthroughs and discoveries in antiviral therapy

* New data about the connection between genital herpes and an increased risk of acquiring and transmitting HIV

* Additional steps people can take to reduce the spread of genital herpes between sexual partners

* New information about how drug treatments can reduce the likelihood of spreading the infection to sexual partners

* Updated information about the use of antiviral drugs during pregnancy

A chapter on vaccines includes new information about topical microbicides that may prove effective in preventing genital herpes in women. In plain, informative language this book is ideal for the patient and for loved ones.

Summary: A colleague’s perspective
Rating: 5

This book is accurate, easy to read, and written by a very well respected HSV researcher. It is slightly varied from most herpes books because is told from the perspective of a pediatrician. The size makes it approachable and easy to read in a short time, too.

Summary: Medically Useful, Personally Dry
Rating: 4

* In general, this book helped me and my partner to understand the basic clinical facts and some lesser known clinical information about herpes, transmission, symptoms, treatment, etc. * Re: transmission: The author offers perspectives which surprisingly contradict some commonly held ideas about what is "safe" and "not safe", which makes this book particularly useful, if not a bit scarey. * Re: legal issues: The section on disease transmission and the ethics of disclosure is also well done and important. The author cites a case where someone who was lied to about a partner’s STD status was awarded $600,000 in damages for pain and suffering, given the lifetime effects of herpes transmitted without honest disclosure. * Re: approach and tone: The book’s appeal would have been increased with a more personal tone, with the author’s voice addressed to us folks out here grappling with these difficult issues, and often at risk from partial knowledge and word-of-mouth guidelines. As it is the book is rather dispassionate, as if the busy physician author had transcribed a series of medical school lectures. * Re: also needed: Colored photographs of what typical outbreaks look like would have been very useful, as an addition to his useful black & white line drawings of virus transmission details. A good bit more could also have been provided about details of "safer sex" and relationship issues since we most need that out here in the real world. * Re: bottom line: As a clinical medical fact source it is an excellent and useful book.

Product Description:

Alternative medicine, once an anti-establishment outsider, has enjoyed such growing popularity in recent years that it has generated a new medical industry, complete with adherents, practitioners, researchers, lobbyists, and regulations. As it has grown, alternative medicine has gradually assumed a different position in the provision of health care. Combining ethnographic study with quantitative data, Judith Fadlon explains the popularity of alternative medicine, as well as the ease with which individuals now move between conventional and alternative medicine and between different alternative modalities. She concludes that alternative medicine has been undergoing domestication, a process by which the foreign is rendered familiar. Although the focus of the study is urban Israel, it is argued that domestication is a major force at work in a number of Western countries.

Summary: From Russia, with Love and Healing
Rating: 5

"It is snowing outside right now and I am writing a book review for a wonderful volume that I can highly recommend.. It is called Mama’s Home Remedies, and is written by Svetlana Konnikova, formerly a journalist in the Soviet Union.

It is a How-to-Autobiography that recounts not only a wide variety of natural remedies, but how they were learned at the feet of her mother and grandmother, with a wonderful potpourri of folk and fairy tales, and modern and ancient natural science interspersed between.

Most books like this, when something is wrong, you go into them, find the subject in the index, and then look up the suggestions for helping alleviate it. This book does that too, but in addition, when life is stressful and you are looking for relief, you can open this book and escape into the fairy tales, folk stories and life’s adventures of Svetlana and her family, along with fascinating explorations of such things as ancient Druid beliefs about trees or the instincts animals have for healing themselves that we can learn to emulate in our lives as well.

Mama’s Home Remedies is so well organized, with everything arranged in bullitted boxes, numbered lists, (also boxed,) and boxed sidebars containing the stories, that everything is ridiculously easy to find. Usually you have to dig through a book to find a fact remembered but not bookmarked. Not so here. All you need to do is remember the topic, or chapter. Once there, a quick thumbing through the pages will take you directly to the right box, and there you are. It is a model for the way I am going to lay out my upcoming books.

In the few short weeks I have had the book, it has earned a place on the bookshelf right next to my computer, so that when I need a break, it is right at hand. It is a marvelous vehicle for stress relief. She has a whole chapter on stress, but nowhere does she mention picking up her book and reading a few pages as one of the ways. She should. "

Summary: Mother Nature Knows Best
Rating: 5

Despite the mantra of the 1950’s when Father Knew Best, we all know Mama’s the one holding the apron strings. The wisdom of mothers’ hands has been passed down from one generation to the next, through food, spices, herbs and home-made medicines better than any pharmaceutical solution. If you’ve ever tasted my mother-in-law’s homemade chicken soup when you’ve had the ickiest cold since time memorial, you’ll know -Mama really does know best.

Mama’s Home Remedies: Discover Time-Tested Secrets of Good Health and the Pleasures of Natural Living is a tribute to the old wives’ wisdom that transcends modernity. It will inspire you to reach for your vegetable pantry before you head for the pharmacy. Among other things, the instrinsic magic of beets, potatoes, and wine grape leaves are revealed in these pages. Written by Svetlana Konnikova who grew up in the vineyards of Moldova, this book tells us to return to our roots - literally.

Part natural living guide, part naturopathic treatise, Mama’s Home Remedies offers all kinds of advice women used to glean at the kitchen table as they nourished their families’ hearts, bodies and souls. Cabbage leaves applied to the forehead can alleviate headaches. Inhaling the steam from potato water drains your sinuses. My all-time favorite for the winter blues: pomegranate juice.

As we speed along in our rapid-fire lifestyles, we’re lucky to have Ms. Konnikova’s immense knowledge wrapped in Mama’s Home Remedies’ 314 pages. The next time I’m faced with a health challenge, I will seek a gentler solution straight from Mother Nature, the world’s first and only true healer.

ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0521870542

Product Description:

This book is a new clinical resource in the field of emergency radiology and comprehensively covers both the technical applications and interpretation of all imaging studies utilized in the emergency room, including x-rays, MRI, CT, and contrast angiography. The full spectrum of conditions diagnosed within each modality is covered in detail, and examples of normal radiologic anatomy, patterns, and anomalies are also included. Clinical Emergency Radiology is designed to be a standard reference for emergency physicians and contains over 2,000 images to comprehensively cover every aspect of radiology in the emergency room.

Summary: Great text!
Rating: 5

A must have reference for emergency clinicians. This text provides a complete pictorial catalog of relevant emergency imaging and the accompanying well written text makes learning straightforward. Whether you are reviewing plain radiographs, CT, MRI or ultrasound this text is for you.
Kudos to Dr. Chris Fox and colleagues for authoring this comprehensive and relevant emergency reference.

Summary: Finally, a radiology text for the practicing emergency physician
Rating: 5

Phenomenal book. This book will help you improve your skills in the rapid evaluation of emergent pathology across all of the imaging modalities. An absolute must for the practicing EP who wishes to rapidly recognize clinically significant injuries, avoid missing occult injuries, and speak intelligently with colleagues regarding our patients. A 4 year radiology residency jam packed in one book, minus all of the fluff and clinically insignificant findings that fail to influence the practice of the emergency medicine.

Summary: Outstanding reference
Rating: 5

A great reference for the emergency department. In a field where we are expected to understand and incorporate a multitude of imaging modalities, many of which we must read ourselves, there is a surprising lack of reference material. This book fills that gap.

Summary: Must have textbook for emergency physicians
Rating: 5

This book is loaded with CT, ultrasound, MRI, and plain radiograph images. It’s a great reference book to have in the department. I’d say this is an essential text for both junior and senior emergency residents learning how to read CTs, plain films, and MRIs. It’s edited by Chris Fox, one of the most famous people around in emergency ultrasound. This is an outstanding book.

Product Description:

As a result of advances in modern medicine and public health, adults with neurologic disabilities are living longer and often very productive lives.

The chapters have been selected based on the most common medical problems and health care issues that clinicians face daily, with each covering basic information about pertinent anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, patient assessment, and practical treatment advice. With an emphasis on algorithms, clinical pearls, and guidelines, this concise and portable book is an essential means of quick reference for all physicians managing patients aging with neurologic disabilities. Special features of this unique handbook include alphabetically-listed chapters, facilitating quick reference; discussion of management strategies for each medical issue, including pharmacological, non-pharmacological and surgical options, inclusion of pediatric issues where appropriate, contributions from the diverse fields of neurology, PM&R, orthopedics, psychiatry, and internal medicine, an emphasis on patient education and patient safety throughout all chapters.

Some topics inside Living with a Below-Knee Amputation include amputation surgery, pain, postoperative care, therapy, purpose and design, fittings, maintenance and hygiene, integration of the prosthesis, child amputees, and recreation and sports.

The unique perspective used by the author helps physical therapists, occupational therapists, physicians, orthopedic surgeons, and rehabilitation professionals better identify and relate to their patients. By understanding the amputee’s emotions and expectations, the professional can cohesively work together with their patients to identify ways for reintegration into their lifestyle.

Product Description:

Clinical Management Notes and Case Histories in Cardiopulmonary Physical Therapy is a dynamic resource that provides an interactive learning approach to cardiopulmonary care. A succinct guide on evidence-based assessment and management skills, learners and clinicians will learn meaningful skills in clinically relevant manner. The two primary components presented in Clinical Management Notes and Case Histories in Cardiopulmonary Physical Therapy are notes on cardiopulmonary assessment and management, and case histories involving respiratory and cardiovascular conditions commonly viewed by physical therapists. Accompanying the notes are thought-provoking questions and problems that enable the reader to establish a foundation of core concepts. The presentation of case histories further facilitates the development of integral skills and enables the reader to integrate those core concepts into a clinical setting. Also, questions and answer guides will accompany the patient profiles. A Few of the Cardiopulmonary Assessment Topics: Physical Examinations Chest Radiology Pulmonary Function Testing EKG Interpretation A Few of the Cardiopulmonary Management Topics: Clinical Decision Making and Setting Treatment Goals Mobilization and Exercise Training Oxygen Therapy Medical and Surgical Intervention Case Histories Include: Brief history Description of physical presentation Arterial blood values, chest x-rays, EKG results and/or pulmonary function report The two-fold learning approach offered in Clinical Management Notes and Case Histories in Cardiopulmonary Physical Therapy allows for a more engaging experience. Readers are able to learn and develop skills to prepare them for their professional transition and clinicians can use the book as a reference tool.

Summary: Good for quick review
Rating: 3

If you need a book for a quick review on topics without the in depth reference (e.g. chest radiology) then I would recommend this book. What I found most useful were the case histories, which is why I purchased the book. The case histories are evidence based, which is how this field is structured now.This book is a good supplement for other in depth books like the Acute Care Handbook or Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Physical Therapy

Parkinsons disease is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease and is characterized by the irreversible loss of dopamine neurons. Despite its high prevalence in society and many decades of research, the origin of the pathogenesis and the molecular determinants involved in the disorder has remained elusive. Confounding this issue is the lack of experimental models that completely recapitulate the disease state. The identification of a number of genes thought to play a role in the cell death, and development of both toxin and genetic models to explore the function of the genes both in unaffected and diseased cells are now providing new insights into the molecular basis of the neurodegeneration, as well as therapeutic approaches. In this book, the advances and the advantages that various invertebrates, cell culture, rodents, and mammals provide in the identification of the molecular components and mechanisms involved in the cell death will be described, as well as the opportunities that these systems provide in drug discovery.

Product Description:

Electroconvlusive therapy (ECT) is a psychiatric treatment involving the induction of a seizure through the transmission of electricity into the brain. In the early eighties, ECT was replaced by far more effective psychopharmacologic medications as a primary treatment modality. Much of the decline in use of ECT at that time was also ascribable to the number of complications associated with the technique. Because of recent refinements and a far better understanding of the scientific mechanisms underpinning ECT, this treatment modality has lately seen a resurgence in use in clinical practice. This book is the new definitive reference on electroconvulsive and neuromodulation therapy. It comprehensively covers both the scientific basis and clinical practice of ECT, as well as providing readers with administrative perspectives for the training and management of this modality in clinical practice. The newer forms of non-convulsive electrical and magnetic brain stimulation therapy are also covered in detail and presented as a separate section.

Product Description:

It has been known for over a century that there is an afferent(body-to-brain), as well as an efferent(brain-to-body), component to the visceral-atonomic nervous system. Despite the fundamental importance of bodily afferent information- sometimes called interoception- to central nervous system control of visceral organ function, emotional-motivational processes, and dysfunction of these processes, including psychosomatic disorders, its role did not receive much attention until quite recently. This is the first comprehensive review of this topic and it covers both neurobiological and psychobiological aspects. The author first defines the issue and gives an historical background starting with the James-Lange theory of emotion, and addresses learning and motivation, roots in Pavlovian conditioning research, and operant conditioning of visceral function. In the second section he reviews recent scientific findings in the neural basis of visceral perception and studies in cardiovascular-respiratory and alimentary interoception. Finally, he discusses several related areas of research and theory including drug state issues, interoception and psychiatric disorders, and bodily consciousness, and suggests directions for future investigation. The book will be of interest to scientists in neurobiology, psychology, and brain imaging, to indivuals in related clinical fields such as psychiatry, neurology, cardiology, gastroenterology, and clinical psychology, and to their students and trainees.

Summary: Helpful resource
Rating: 5

My 83-year-old father was diagnosed with Parkinson’s four years ago. He lives 900 miles away, and this has been a helpful guide for us to refer to across the miles. I bought each of us a copy. He’s not comfortable with the Internet, so it’s been nice to have something we can both look at. He doesn’t read much any more but eagerly consumed this book.

Just what I needed! I had planned to read and pass along to my brothers. I learned so much from it, I’m going to get them their own copy.

Summary: Took Two Times
Rating: 3

It took two times for Amazon to get me the book I ordered in "LARGE PRINT". I’m not sure what the problem was. I ended up buying a used book. The book was in new condition. Just frustrating to receive wrong items.

Summary: Excellent Guide
Rating: 5

I have Parkinson’s, and this is the most comprehensive, up-to-date book on the subject I’ve seen. If you are buying one book on this topic, this is the book to get.

Summary: Must have
Rating: 5

If you have PD or care for someone or know someone with it you will find this book helpful in any of those situations. I learned many things from this book. Including that some things my husband, who has early onset PD, was going through that turned out were symptoms and not just random events. I thank those that wrote this for helping me care for him and being informed. Also, they section on young onset PD really helped because i was beginning to feel he had intermediate PD when really it was signs and symptoms from his Y.O.P.D. It lifted a heavy weight knowing he wasn’t that far into the disease (intermediate stage). I was able to rely many things to his nuerologist that he was experiencing based upon my reading so he can get better care. Thank you.

Product Description
Traditionally the International Congress of Parkinson’s Disease and Related disorders (ICPD) is reflected in publishing its proceedings. This is to (1) sum up the current knowledge in this particular spectrum disorder and (2) to remind clinicians and basic researchers on the development and progress made overtime with respect to etiology, pathology, genetics, endogenous vulnerability factors, models, drug treatment strategies, e.g. levodopa, neuroprotective drugs, new developments in neurotherapeutics, neurosurgery, plasticity of nerve cell structures and clinical issues (e.g. staging, early diagnosis, differential diagnostic aspects, clinico-pathological correlations, new scales etc.). All these topics that have been brought forward at the 16. ICPD congress 2005, Berlin, are now available in a subsumed version in supplementum 70 of Journal Neural Transmission. This book gives a comprehensive overview on current clinical and basic research issues related to Parkinson’s disease and its related disorders and is suitable for neurologists, psychiatrists, neurosurgeons, basic researchers, geneticists and patients as well as their relatives.

The History of Modern Epilepsy: The Beginning, 1865-1914 (Contributions in Medical Studies)

Product Description:

Although the history of epilepsy, one of the most common serious neurological disorders, can easily be traced back to ancient times, the modern understanding of the disease only began in the middle of the 19th century. This history of the first fifty years of modern epileptology reflects the thinking, accomplishments, and failures of physicians between 1865 and 1914. This epoch presented a very bleak clinical picture: diagnosis was difficult and often arbitrary; treatment was poor and, at times, worse than the disease; and patients, who were usually viewed as having a progressive dementing condition, were shunned by society.

Summary: The History of Epilepsy Can Be Exciting
Rating: 5

I never thought the history of epilepsy could be exciting….but Dr. Friedlander’s well-written book brings a dynamic essence to a mysterious and poorly understood disease. His research is painstaking and thorough, yet his verbage is far from dry and academic. He weaves a true story into a telling masterpiece of medical history. A must-read for any history buff who wants to understand how society views itself as it struggles to bring to light with one of humankind’s great mysteries, that of epilepsy.

Product Description:

Medical visits are often less effective and satisfying than they would be if doctors and patients better understood the communication most needed for attainment of mutual health goals. The verbal and nonverbal exchanges that take place between doctor and patient affect both participants, and can result in a range of positive or negative psychological reactions-including comfort, alarm, irritation, or resolve. "Talk," on both verbal and non-verbal levels, is shown by extensive research to have far-reaching impact. This updated edition of a widely popular book helps us understand this vital issue, and facilitate communications that will mean more effective medical care and happier, healthier consumers. Roter and Hall set out specific principles and recommendations for improving doctor-patient relationships. They describe the process of communication, analyze social and psychological factors that color doctor-patient exchanges, and detail changes that can benefit both parties. Here are needed encouragement and principles of action vital to doctors and patients alike. far-reaching impact.

Product Description:

Bioethics has paid surprisingly little attention to the special problems faced by women and to feminist analyses of current health care issues other than reproduction. Feminism & Bioethics: Beyond Reproduction aims to counterbalance this one-sided approach. A breakthrough volume of original essays authored by leading figures in bioethics and feminist theory, it moves beyond reproduction and nursing, taking bioethics into new territory. The book starts with an investigation of the relationship between feminism and bioethics and introduces different approaches to the problem. Chapters stress the importance of liberal feminism which prefers feminist over feminine analysis, integrate the experience of women of color, draw from the women’s self-help movement, and apply feminist standpoint theory. In the second part of the book, contributors view various bioethical problems from a feminist perspective: euthanasia, AIDS, the definition of health, doctor-patient communication, the Human Genome Project, the conduct of biomedical research, and health care reform. They examine the pros and cons of the application of gender and feminism to bioethics. This provocative volume is bound to change and broaden the way bioethicists, students, patients, and the public consider bioethical issues.

Comprehensive Handbook of Iodine: Nutritional, Biochemical, Pathological and Therapeutic Aspects

Comprehensive Handbook of Iodine: Nutritional, Biochemical, Pathological and Therapeutic Aspects
By Victor R. Preedy

Publisher: Academic Press
Number Of Pages: 1328
Publication Date: 2009-01-29
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0123741351
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780123741356

Product Description:

Over two billion people worldwide are at risk for the spectrum of disorders known as "The Iodine Deficiency Disorders." 1-10% will suffer cretinism; 5-30% will have some sort of brain damage or neurological impairment and 30-70% will be hypothyroid.

The causes of iodine deficiencies can be considered from both simplistic and more complex perspectives: From the leaching of iodine from soil resulting in crops with low iodine content to malnutrition resulting in impaired iodine absorption. Poor dietary diversification and impoverished socio-economic development can also lead to iodine deficiencies.

Although it is possible to diagnose and treat deficiencies, there is still an ongoing dialogue regarding the detailed molecular pathology of iodine homeostatis, how hypothyroidism impacts the body tissues, and efficient diagnosis and treatment of the Iodine Deficiency Disorders.

This Handbook provides a resource of information on the various pathways and processes based on different countries or diseases. Because there is a constant flow of new information on iodine and related disorders, the goal of this Handbook is to provide a base of scientific information upon which additional knowledge can be applied.

Key Features:
*Provides important information on one of the most common micro-nutrient deficiencies in the world, the most important "single nutrient-multiple consequences" paradigm today
*Includes information on iodine-related diseases, including those that are common, preventable and treatable
*Provides insight from a broad perspective of viewpoints — from subcellular transports to economic impact

Product Description:

This publication serves as a guide and a reference for trained members of the Armed Forces Medical Services and other medically qualified personnel on the recognition and treatment of biological warfare agent casualties. Information contained in this publication may also be relevant for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with naturally acquired diseases or illnesses due to pathogens with BW potential.

This publication: (1) Classifies and describes potential BW agents. (2) Provides procedures for collecting, handling and labeling, shipping, and identifying potential BW agents. (3) Describes procedures for medical diagnosing, treating, and management of BW casualties. (4) Describes medical management and treatment in BW operations.

The treatment modalities contained in this manual differ from standard textbooks in that they apply to BW agent exposures. The method of exposure for most BW agents is by inhalation; whereas, the endemic disease exposure (if applicable) is by other means. Some are by ingestion, some by arthropod bites, and others by dermal contact with the agent. This does not preclude service members becoming BW casualties by these means.

Deadly Karate Blows: The Medical Implications (Unique Literary Books of the World)

Deadly Karate Blows: The Medical Implications (Unique Literary Books of the World)

How many times have you told a student to do a combination and not known what the result of their actions will be.How many off us know what dammage we can do.This book covers max to minimum dammage, in a well illusrated and easy to follow book.

Summary: Could have been a lot better!
Rating: 3

The subject of vital/vulnerable points and how to strike them is a very serious matter and one that should never be taken lightly. I personally am very leery about teaching people about them and usually only give a generalized description of them. There are two books that attempt to tackle this subject, both of which I currently have in my own personal library. One of them is Brian Adam’s, "Deadly Karate Blows."

Now before I get started on writing the actual review of this book, I am going to take this opportunity to give you a bit of insight into my reviewing process. I will rarely if ever give a bad review. This isn’t meant to imply that I think that everything is good, it’s just that if I don’t care for a particular book or DVD that I have, I simply will not do a review on it. What I primarily look for in an instructional book or DVD is its ability to teach me solid relevant information on the particular topic being addressed, which should be the primary focus of the material being presented. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case.

Now depending upon your own personal knowledge on the subject, and your own personal perspective, you will either love this book or revile it. While I myself readily question some of the material presented in this book, I do find a lot of it to be very informative in both a positive and a negative way. Rather than dwelling on the negative aspects, I will instead focus on the positive aspects of this book.

The basic format for this book starts out with two to three photographs with captions and two subjects demonstrating a particular technique whose attack is focused on a particular vital/vulnerable point. This is followed by some pretty good illustrations and really basic descriptions of the various possible injuries that can accompany a blow to the particular vital/vulnerable point being discussed. Each section starts out with the weapon used, the target (vital/vulnerable point) attacked, and the possible medical implications of an effective attack. The only real detractor to this is that it should be updated to provide more current and relevant information.

One could easily argue that a lot of the information provided is sketchy at best and not very detailed at all. This is a legitimate point. However, and this is just my opinion, I think the author was just trying to give the reader an overview of the subject, rather than a detailed analysis.

During the introduction to this book, the author is adamant about making it clear that, "…I have just barely scratched the surface of a subject that will continue to regain its status in the martial arts." The author also makes it very clear that, "One must remember that whenever the human element is involved, there is no such thing as absolute perfection. This is why in many of the sections it is indicated that there is more than one possible result, because the blow may be slightly off target or because of other existing conditions which might be hindered by unforeseen circumstances."

Although this book is definitely not an "authoritative" piece, it still holds value especially when combined with another book called, "Gray’s Anatomy."

Summary: Good reference
Rating: 4

You need to know more about what you’re doing if you seriously plan on using anything you learn down at the dojo in self-defense situations. It’s also good to know what isn’t true, such as the drive the nose into the brain from a well placed palm heel strick nonsense. This is a pretty good, concise, clearly written place to get that kind of information. I’m not an MD, so I can’t vouch for the absolute accuracy of all information contained in the book. The things I’ve learned from other sources are supported here. It’s a good read too.

Summary: Pathetic
Rating: 1

This doesn’t have much deadly karate but it certainly does blow…

What a huge disappointment! This premise holds much promise but the breadth and depth of this particular rendering is very shallow indeed. It’s only 117 pages and mostly pictures. The illustrations unfortunately are marginally well done and the photos have very bad contrast so between these two shortcomings the techniques are not well illuminated. Since the text is not very descriptive either, the total package is very incomplete for the few applications they actually cover. There are hundreds of traditional karate techniques that are not covered at all.

I have no idea why the practitioners in the photos have their shirts off. It is not helpful in showing what they are doing technique-wise. Neither model has much physique to speak of so I can’t imagine they’re trying to show off what great shape they are in. You’d think a book about karate would at least show folks wearing traditional karate uniforms yet only one of the two has gi-style pants (with no obi) while the other wears half a tracksuit. Both wear shoes. Since they are not really doing karate techniques in every case, I guess this is irrelevant but I do find it annoying.

As mentioned previoiusly, there are a huge number of techniques not discussed at all (such as locks or chokes along with several types of strikes). Furthermore, many that are discussed have significant errors. For example, when it comes to an eye strike the author shows fingertip rakes across and into the eye describing the effects as a collapsed "bulb of the eye" or a lacerated eyelid. That’s okay so far as it goes, I suppose, but a "torn eyelid from the effect of a sharp finger nail piercing an eyelid that has blinked at the last instant before it has struck" is sheer nonsense and not truly a medical implication. I don’t remember reading the term "bulb of the eye" in any medical textbooks either, come to think of it.

In real life, the most common eye attack is a rake. The second most common is a gouge. The gouge is almost never successfully performed with the fingers. Instead, it is performed with the thumb while the fingers contour the side of the head, which is why that version is the most common bunkai. It works best when the opponent’s head is supported against the ground, a wall, or with your other hand. When you do that the eyeball is displaced and popped out rather than collapsed or crushed. The book not only does not talk about displacements at all, but it also focuses on ruptures, something that is virtually impossible to do with an unsupported finger jab as shown in the text.

I really don’t know why the set-ups for the various techniques were chosen in the way they were. For example, the groin strike shows the defender caught in a two handed choke with the attacker’s thumbs pressing into his throat before the counterattack. Get real! You’ll never be "caught" in a two handed front choke. Unless you are completely oblivious no one is going to walk up and choke you, at least not upright when you are both standing. Perhaps you’d slap the attacker’s hands aside and react with a groin kick when he tries to choke you but that’s about it. I’ve witnessed, interceded in, stopped, or prevented more than 300 real-life fights and I’ve never seen anyone trying this silliness on the street let alone successfully applying it. Chokes require significant disruption before you can successfully apply them. Oh, and the author doesn’t even describe the medical implications of chokes either… lame, lame, lame. Speaking of lame, the eight pages on "principles of first aid and pain reduction" appear to be a last minute filler. I was expecting first aid for each technique shown but it is just some general first aid 101 stuff.

All in all I’m hugely disappointed in this book. This is a great topic and I’d really like to see someone with a medical degree do it well. The execution in this book, unfortunately, isn’t at all what I was looking for. It is a pathetic, misguided attempt to cover an important topic.

Don’t waste your money.

Summary: Not a how-to book, but very useful knowledge nonetheless
Rating: 4

Although the title says "…Karate…", this book can be used by anyone involved in any striking art. This is not a how-to book, instead it gives a brief description of a move (to make sure the reader understands what’s happening) with one or two photos, then goes on to describe what is the likely outcome to the person getting hit. It’s a good book because it reminds you (especially if you’re relatively inexperienced) that your moves can paralyze or kill, which the law may not agree with in the realm of self-defense. It is a good book and I do recommend.

Summary: Authentic
Rating: 5

The author went to great lengths to analyze the effects of common karate blows. This has implications for appreciating "soft" forms of self defense as compared with those forms most ameniable to full contact with protection gear. The book in effect documents the effects "soft" (low inertia) blows can have on vital points. The forward to the book is well written also by a professional educator, enthusiast, and instructor (Chris Town.)

Chesley’s Hypertensive Disorders in Pregnancy, Third Edition

Chesley’s Hypertensive Disorders in Pregnancy, Third Edition
By Marshall D. Lindheimer MD FACP

Publisher: Academic Press
Number Of Pages: 450
Publication Date: 2009-05-15
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0123742137
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780123742131

Product Description:

Hypertensive disorders remain one the major causes of maternal and fetal morbidity and death. It is also a leading cause of preterm birth now known to be a risk factor in remote cardiovascular disease. Despite this the hypertensive disorders remain marginally studied and management is often controversial. Chesley’s Hypertensive Disorders in Pregnancy, remains one of the beacons to guide this field, recognized for its uniqueness and utility. The Third Edition continues this tradition, focusing on prediction, prevention, and management for clinicians, and is an essential reference text for clinical and basic investigators alike. Differing from other texts devoted to preeclampsia, it covers the whole gamut of high blood pressure, and not just preeclampsia.

NEW TO THE THIRD EDITION:
* New chapters focusing on recent discoveries in angiogenesis, auto-antibodies and other recent immunological findings, imaging in eclampsa, animal models - where considerable progress has emerged since the previous edition
* Extensive updates to chapters on epidemiology, etiological considerations, pathophysiology, prediction, prevention, and management
* Systematic reviews and metanalysis of trials regarding prediction and antihypertensive treatment
* Discussions on the emerging roles of metabolic syndrome and obesity and the increasing incidence of preeclampsia
* Epodemiological coverage of preeclampsia as a risk factor for future metabolic and cardiovascular disease that permits early intervention and life style changes

Summary: An outstanding reference book
Rating: 4

Chesley’s Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy is the seminal textbook on the subject. It is really strong on the epidemiology of the hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. It is a little weak on the basic science side, with chapters written by investigators highlighting their own research, not a broad enough scope of the field in my opinion. That being said, it is the best that is out there, and a "must have" for clinicians and researchers interested in hypertension in pregnancy in all of its forms.

Summary: methyldopa-pheochromocytoma-pregnacy
Rating: 4

As a cardiologist that has been involved recently in dealing with hypertension and pregnacy I found this book very useful, but with surprise I notice that in Chapter 19, Chronic Hypertension and Pregnacy by P. August and M. Lindheimer there isn’t any mention about the interference that can produce methyldopa in the laboratory diagnostic of pheocromocytoma.

Product Description:

No strict diets, no scary guidelines–just the essential nutrition expectant moms need to start their babies on the road to lifelong health

All parents know that kids need nutritious foods as they grow. But new research confirms that what you eats during pregnancy can also profoundly affect the health of your baby when that baby becomes an adult–for better or for worse. Endorsed by the Harvard Medical School and written by one of the world’s leading experts in nutrition for pregnant women and babies, this guide offers more solid information and medically sound advice on prenatal nutrition than any other book on the market.

Summary: Same old "SAD" (Standard American Diet) Advice
Rating: 3

Yes, there are some good things in this book, you probably already know them.

Avoid refined grains during pregnancy
Avoid smoking during pregnancy
Avoid alcohol during pregnancy

The typical diet advice seems to be parroted everywhere including this book.

*Low fat diet
*Pasteurized dairy only
*Eat lots of grains

This is a diet designed to create weak and poorly nourished children. While it is better than eating junk food, it isn’t going to be nourishing.

The chapter about how prenatal nutrition is vital is definitely interesting, but the nutritional guidelines laid forth are not going to accomplish the best results. The author talks about mercury in fish being a concern and sites FDA evidence that 8 percent of women have high levels of mercury in their blood. But are we to believe this is from them eating pounds of tuna every week? Or is this from mercury laden drugs, pollution, food additives and fillings as the cause? Huge studies such as one recently published in Lancet, have shown that naturally occurring mercury in fish, even if it raises the mercury in the mother’s blood stream, shows NO DANGER for pregnancy.

People need healthy fats from whole foods to be healthy. Pregnant women get essential vitamins from healthy fats, that’s why even this book recommends fish, and eggs for pregnancy. But then it goes on to say that saturated fats are unhealthy, which doesn’t make sense.

Diets of indigenous groups across the planet, who had healthy babies, and uncomplicated births knew what to eat during pregnancy. Special foods included raw grassfed dairy, sea foods which included the organs, and fatty foods from the land and sea. Healthy people never had refined flour, or "organic" breakfast cereals or soy milk. By returning to a whole foods diet based upon generations of healthy people, we can reclaim our pregnancy health. Learn how to do it in Healing Our Children: Because Your New Baby Matters! Sacred Wisdom for Preconception, Pregnancy, Birth and Parenting (ages 0-6).

Summary: Very informative
Rating: 4

I found this book full with tips and information on what to expect through pregnancy. I think it’s worth the read to understand exactly why you need to eat healthy throug pregnancy.

Summary: Great Book
Rating: 5

I liked this book because it was the only book I could find with real information about artificial sweeteners. It seemed to be up to date and it gave the info understood from the most current research.

Summary: Good Source
Rating: 4

I read this book cover to cover and to be honest, I don’t think I learned anything new. In fact there is surprisingly little time devoted to actually how/what to eat! It seems like most of the book is devoted to the idea that how you eat during pregnancy will affect your child’s health later in life. So if you need motivation to reach for the veggies everyday, this would be a great book to read. But overall it’s the same tips about what to avoid, eat from the food pyramid, etc. Having said that, I gave it four stars because even though the information isn’t new, it feels good to get it from a reputable source since half the stuff you read, it’s hard to tell if you can trust it. Additionally, there are some wonderful, easy, healthy recipes at the end of the book!

Summary: The bottom line: Get ready for baby!
Rating: 5

Kudos to Dr. Walker on the second publication (although I wish I had this one first!) on health and wellness for mothers and their babies.

This ‘easy-to-ingest’ book is an excellent resource for information on what to eat, what to avoid, and even includes tips on exercise and creative recipes for snack and mealtimes.

Take care of yourself, and take care of your baby!

Product Description:

An innovative approach to lowering blood pressure that builds on the national bestseller The Relaxation Response

For the 100 million people worldwide dealing with high blood pressure, bestselling author Dr. Herbert Benson and cardiac wellness expert Aggie Casey have created a proven plan for lowering blood pressure. Based on the groundbreaking work done at the Mind/Body Medical Institute, the authors’ program goes beyond advice about nutrition and exercise to incorporate a proven stress-management program–including the relaxation response.

Summary: Book is informative
Rating: 4

This book is good but the only draw back is that there was nothing in there that I didnt know.

Summary: 3-Step Process to lowering your blood pressure
Rating: 4

Let me begin by stating that the amount of knowledge that you already have regarding high blood pressure will greatly affect how much you gain from reading this book. Over half of this book covers very basic information regarding blood pressure; For example, what is blood pressure, what is a normal blood pressure reading, the difference between high blood pressure and hypertension, the co-relation between sodium consumption and blood pressure, etc. If you don’t have some or any of the information regarding these topics, then you will surely gain alot of knowledge and will really enjoy reading this book. If you know most or all of these topics already, then you will gain nothing from over half of the book.

Now, the other half of the book centers around concrete examples on how you can lower your blood pressure, using a three step approach. The three-step approach, as you would imagine, is composed of stress management, diet, and exercise. I personally gained a world of knowledge on the stress management section, since I already had alot of the knowledge regarding how diet and exercise affect blood pressure.

Although this review might sound like I didn’t like this book, that is not the case. I simply had done alot of research on my own, and found alot of the information that I already knew in this book. However, I did encounter plenty of information that will help me to continue to keep my blood pressure at regular levels. I especially reccommend this book for anyone that has recently been diagnosed with high blood pressure, especially as an initial research tool.

Summary: Good Advice on Blood Pressure Control
Rating: 5

This is an easily read guide to most of the basics on controlling blood pressure. In addition it has 34 pages of interesting healthy recipes. I recommend this book.

Product Description:

There’s no easier, faster, or more practical way to learn the really tough subjects

Medical Terminology Demystified covers all the basic terms of disease and injury, abnormal anatomy and physiology, surgical techniques, drugs, and other therapies–in the context of real, practical health issues. This self-teaching guide comes complete with key points, background information, quizzes at the end of each chapter, and even a final exam.

This book is for people who want to get acquainted with the basic concepts of
medical terminology without having to take a formal course. It can also serve as
a supplemental text in a classroom, tutored, or home-schooling environment. It
should also be useful for career changers who need to refresh their knowledge
of the subject. I recommend that you start at the beginning of this book and go
straight through.
There are 5 icons (cartoon pictures) that repeatedly appear in the page margins
of every chapter. Each icon takes the form of a “Memory Pill”—a key fact for
you to write down and remember in a “Memory Pillbox” (handy numbered
grid) at chapter end. An Anatomy icon indicates a key fact about normal body
structure. Conversely, a Physiology icon labels an important fact about normal
body function. Knowing some of these key structure-function facts in the normal
body helps you to understand their associated disease and disorders within the
abnormal body.
The medical terminology of the book provides key facts tagged as Disease
icons and other facts as Treatment/Therapy icons. Finally, there are numerous
Background and History icons that identify critical people and historical
events behind the development of medical terminology. A special icon is that of
Hippocrates (pronounced as hih-PAHK-rah-tees). Hippocrates was an ancient
Greek physician who is considered the Father of Modern Medicine. For this reason,
MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY DEMYSTIFIED is subtitled as “A Visit with
Hippocrates.” The Ghost of Hippocrates is our narrator, who guides us along
throughout the book. He is occasionally assisted by both Professor Joe, the Talking
Skeleton (from ANATOMY DEMYSTIFIED and PHYSIOLOGY DEMYSTIFIED),
and by Baby Heinie (his mischievous little sidekick). The goal is to provide
some meaningful “edu-tainment”—“education” plus “entertainment”—for
the reader.

Product Description:

In the last 35 years, declining deaths from heart disease have translated into 13 million lives saved and extended. Medical treatments and lifestyle changes have dealt successfully with the serious heart problems of Vice President Richard Cheney, talk show host David Letterman, Disney-ABC CEO Michael Eisner, and countless other less famous people. In the past, those with serious heart disease would have died young, but today can live a long and active life. Few families have not benefited from improvements in the way we treat and prevent heart problems. Yet, we often hear that poor lifestyles and the limitations of modern medicine threaten our health and well-being. Although room for improvement always remains, this book demonstrates the contrary - that we have made and continue to make tremendous progress in dealing with heart disease.

Summary: Documented prognosis for future battle against heart disease
Rating: 5

In the last 35 years declining deaths from heart disease have saved over 13 million lives, with new medical treatments blending into lifestyle changes for positive results. In Progress Against Heart Disease, Fred Pampel and Seth Pauley informatively review the progress made over these years, providing readers with both a methodical history of past efforts and a documented prognosis for future battle against heart disease.

Product Description:

HIV/AIDS continues to be the pandemic of our times. It is estimated that 36 to 45 million people including 2-3 million children already are infected worldwide and an additional 4-7 million more are infected each year.

There has not been a comprehensive medically based AIDS prevention book published in the last five years. Since that time many new program interventions have been tried and much has been learned through evidence-based research. HIV Prevention will place special focus on the array of interventions that have been proven effective through rigorous study. If there is one theme that has been learned to date it is that there is no one-size-fits-all prevention approach that will work in all the geographic, demographic and socio-cultural environments impacted by the worldwide AIDS pandemic.

* Discusses all aspects of AIDS prevention, from epidemiology, molecular immunology and virology to the principles of broad-based public health prevention interventions.

* Special focus on the array of interventions that have been proven effective through rigorous study

* Identifies new trends in HIV/AID epidemiology and their impact on creating and implementing prevention interventions

* Incorporates virology, biology, infectious diseases, vaccinology, microbicides and research methodologies into AIDS prevention

Product Description:

Pediatric Psychopharmacology: Principles and Practice is an authoritative and comprehensive text on the use of medication in the treatment of children and adolescents with serious neuropsychiatric disorders. This benchmark volume consists of 56 chapters written by internationally recognized leaders, and is divided into four interrelated sections. The first, Biological Bases of Pediatric Psychopharmacology, reviews key principles of neurobiology and the major psychiatric illnesses of childhood from a perspective rooted in developmental psychopathology. The second, Somatic Interventions, presents the major classes of psychiatric drugs, as well as complementary and alternative somatic interventions, such as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), and naturopathic approaches. The third and longest section, Assessment and Treatment,starts with clinical assessment, diagnostic evaluation, and comprehensive treatment planning, and goes on to cover the evidence-based analysis of drug treatments for the major disorders. Special populations (such as children with comorbid mental retardation, substance abuse or medical illness) are specifically discussed, and the coordination of their treatment with non-somatic therapies is explicitly addressed. The final section, Epidemiologic, Research, and Methodological Considerations, deals with broad population-relevant topics such as regulation and policy, pharmacoepidemiology, and the critical importance of sound ethical principles for clinical investigation. The book concludes with an appendix on generic and commercial drug name equivalencies, preparations, and available dosages.L This timely text is intended for child and adolescent psychiatrists, general and developmental pediatricians, family practitioners, general psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals who work with children and adolescents.

Summary: Worth it’s weight in Aripiprazole
Rating: 5

Just follow me for second here: Go back to the dawn of the Cenozoic Era, the Paleocene epoch, 65 million years ago, when the mammalian radiation happened. That was a big deal. And what was it all about? A couple small little animals changed made a major change in their life strategies (actually just the females of the species, the males remain reptilian), which was valuing quality over quantity. Instead of laying tons of eggs, let’s make less embryos. But nurture them. Nurture them with all our bodily resources. Let them lay parasitically within us while their brains and other organs mature. Think of it! The emergence of Parenting! Must have been a good idea, within just four million years, mammals radiated stunningly fast, filling the empty ecological niches left by dinosaurs, hoofed mammals achieving a glorious diversity (though still no larger than today’s dogs).

So what does that have to do with us? Glad you asked. Not too much until 57 million years ago when our family, the primates, was born. Let’s do this: Longer gestation, longer dependencies, bigger brains, better brains.

I’d love to linger on the details, but I have to get around to my point, and reviewing this wonderful, beautiful book. So let’s skip to the Pliocene, 5 million years ago, when hominids diverged from our cousins the chimpanzees and bonobos (oh those dirty, dirty bonobos). What made us unique at that point? Three things: 1) Bigger brains. 2) Even longer periods of dependency, with longer infancy, longer toddlerhood, longer latency. All necessary for brains that are too big to be fully developed at birth, with a wider capacity for learned behaviors relative to instinctual behaviors. This, more than ever, necessitates parenting, or at least some kind of nurturing from the older generation to the younger. Which then allows for a greater capacity for culture, shared communal behaviors and beliefs passed down through the generations. And probably helped contribute to uniqueness 3) tool use. Yes, I know other species use tools of a sort, but we’ve gotten more sophisticated than sticking pruned twigs into termite mounds.

So here we are, human beings. I will refrain from calling us the most evolved species on the planet, since technically everything alive today is equally evolved for its niche (my cat can jump, change directions in mid-air, catch a bird in his mouth. I can’t do that but I consistently beat him in backgammon). We are entitled to some species chauvinism, we certainly seem to have the most complex brains on the planet.

The things, then, that make us uniquely human, all converge in the modern medical sub-specialty of child and adolescent psychopharmacology. Using the most sophisticated tools our species have designed to date (psychoactive drugs), we help care for children, help cultivate the potential within the larger, more complex brains of the modern human children. Child Psychiatry is therefore both the leading edge, the ultimate extension of the trajectory of human evolution, as well as also being the most primitive, natural endeavor in medicine, motivated by the most instinctual elements of human character.

Having completed the transition to lower quantity, higher quality offspring, we have extended the dependency of children, and the need for nurturing to it’s extreme. So this is our duty, our obligation. Children are vulnerable, and therefore deserve the best efforts of the best among us to help protect and care for them.

This is why treating psychiatrically ill children is the single most intellectually challenging field in medicine. The most stamina-testing, the most ethically challenging, the most emotionally challenging. Children in crisis stir our paternal and/or maternal instincts, and working with them forces us to cultivate our own resilience and stability. There is no better or more important field in medicine right now. Oh sure, let the surgeons continue to preen about the hospital as if their butchery and carpentry skills gives them ownership of the entire field of medicine. Let these barely sublimated sadists have their glory, they certainly seem to need it. Meanwhile, we know who the real brain surgeons are.

So, if we are going to do this, let’s do armed and equipped with the best, most accessible information possible. That is why I strongly and unreservedly give this textbook my highest possible recommendation (which, on Amazon, consists of 5 stars, the same recommendation I gave to Blueberry poptarts… Oh well). Children are not just little adults. They have different brains. Different tracts have been myelinated, different nuclei have relatively different densities of receptors, the ratio of cytochrome P450 enzymes differ. Drugs, even when dosage is adjusted for size and metabolism, can have different side effect profiles for children then adults. For mostly obvious ethical and practical reasons, drugs cannot be tested on children as easily and systematically as in adult trials. So we should be very careful when medicating children. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do it. When diagnoses are made thoughtfully and accurately, medications can be tremendously helpful for children. It can give children their lives back. Some children, able to get their symptoms manageable, find their families interacting different, teachers interact with them different, and their self-confidence can begin to restore itself.

This is a great book, and as of this moment in time, I would say it is the single best comprehensive resource for doctors who are prescribing psychiatric medications to children or adolescents. I’d tell you more about the book but I’m already closing in on 1000 words just trying to convey my passion for the topic. But you get contributions from the best in the field, you have sections devoted to the biological bases of pediatric illness, different diagnoses and different somatic interventions, discussions on other somatic interventions such as complementary and alternative medicines and ECT, and plenty of chapters on assessment and treatment. There is a section on epidemiological, research, and methodological considerations and appendices with quick prescribing information "at a glance." It is a thorough text, worth the price. Even has decent discussions of special populations such as substance abusers, medically ill children, psychopharm during pregnancy, and individuals with MR. Trust me. If you are planning to do a fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry, or if you are in one of the all too numerous underserved areas where non-specialists find themselves prescribing psychoactive medications to children, you owe it to yourself and to the patients and families you treat to have a copy of this book.

Health planning in the United States selected policy issues

Committee of the Institute of Medicine

ISBN-13: 9780309578646
Year: 1981

Preface
In the few months since the Committee on Health Planning Goals and Standards met for the last time, there
have been substantial changes in the leadership of our country. There is a new President. There will be new
administrators of the program with which this report is concerned, and there are changes in the composition and
power centers of the Congress that will re-evaluate and determine the future of the health planning program.
These events increase the importance of this document. Certainly the timing is fortuitous as task forces and
individuals, yet unburdened by previous policies and commitments, cast a fresh eye on a variety of national
policies.

The health planning effort, though quite modest by any standard except local citizen involvement, is a
particularly vulnerable government program. First, its funds are not tied to any entitlement program. Its
elimination thus would give the appearance of saving money. Second, because it is a compromise program of
many interests and values in the health sector, it has no natural or defined constituency. Third, while its planning
mission is carried out locally by a citizen-dominated local advisory mechanism, the mission and its goals are
poorly understood especially in Washington. Understanding of that mission was not enhanced by the executive
branch’s efforts to redefine the program into one that was expected to carry out the federal government’s desire
for “cost containment” and efforts to reduce the number of hospital beds. Since some of the major
recommendations of this report are aimed at helping to sort out some of the misunderstandings and unrealistic
expectations of the planning program, and explaining about its unusual local citizen-controlled structure for
advising on health investments, the committee and I hope that those charged with responsibility for reviewing
and implementing the health planning Act will read this report and the commissioned papers with care.

This IOM document was produced by a group of citizens who gave their time and effort because of their
concern about health care and the problems that health planning is aimed at ameliorating, in particular, and about
government programs in general.

Excerpt:
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOOK AROUND ANY ONE OF YOUR CLASSES TO SEE THE
tre men dous vari a tions in peo ple. In your classes, stu dents are all of
sim i lar age, but their per son al i ties and be hav iors are so dif fer ent.
There is that boy who lit er ally falls apart if he has to get up in front of
the room and speak. And there is the class clown who loves the
at ten tion and dis rupts any thing and ev ery thing. Then there is the
short est boy in the class who acts so tough and walks with an
ex ag ger ated swag ger. Of course, your teacher is pretty fair to all, but
she cer tainly has her fa vor ites in class, and those she ob vi ously dis likes
and picks on most of the time.
Why does the teacher do that? Why is the boy so scared of his
own shadow? Does the class clown crave at ten tion? Does the short est
boy have a Na po le onic com plex? If you are con sis tently, rather
in sa tia bly cu ri ous about the whys of hu man be hav ior you have the
mak ings of a psy chi a trist.
To put it sim ply, what makes a per son tick en gages the
psy chi a trist. Psy chi a trists are med i cal doc tors who have ad di tional
train ing in the healthcare of the hu man mind. To psy chi a trists, the
complex ity of human behav ior is an attraction. A general practi tioner
makes de ci sions based on lab data, but the psy chi a trist con sid ers the
inter twining of the physical, mental, genetic, and envi ronment which
makes up the whole per son and in flu ences be hav ior and de ci sions
which peo ple make. The psy chi a trist treats the in di vid ual with a
com bi na tion of bi o log i cal in ter ven tions or med i cines, and forms of
ther apy.
Psy chi a trists try to un der stand the rea sons for hu man ac tions so
that they can help in di vid u als mod ify their be hav iors. They do this in a
wide range of en vi ron ments. Psy chi a trists work in pri vate prac tice,
ac a demic in sti tu tions, res i den tial treat ment cen ters and hos pi tals. They
con duct re search, do ther apy, and teach. They work with young
chil dren all the way through to ge ri at ric pa tients. Psy chi a trists work
with a very wide va ri ety of hu man chal lenges from ad dic tion, to
anx i ety, to an orexia.
This is a field which is very ex cit ing at this time in the his tory of
sci ence and healthcare. Through ge netic re search and new dis cov er ies
in the area of neu rol ogy, ideas about hu man be hav ior are rap idly
chang ing. This field is com pli cated, chal leng ing, and evolv ing.
While psy chi a trists work in many dif fer ent en vi ron ments, all
ex cept those en gaged in re search have sim i lar du ties.

Improving civilian medical response to chemical or biological terrorist incidents interim report on current capabilities

Introduction:
The bombing of the World Trade Center in New York in 1993 and the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in
Oklahoma City in 1995 have forced Americans to face the fact that terrorism is not simply something that
happens overseas, but the 1995 nerve gas attack on the Tokyo subway by an apocalyptic religious cult added a
new dimension to plans for coping with terrorism. Traditional military approaches to battlefield detection of
chemical and biological weapons and the protection and treatment of young healthy soldiers are not necessarily
suitable or easily adapted for use by civilian health providers dealing with a heterogeneous population of
casualties in an urban environment.
For these reasons, the Institute of Medicine (IOM), aided by the Commission on Life Sciences (CLS), has
been asked by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Emergency Preparedness (OEP) to:
(1) collect and assess existing research, development, and technology information on detecting potential
chemical and biological agents and protecting and treating both the targets of attack and health care
providers, and
(2) provide specific recommendations for priority research and development.
This interim report focuses on current civilian capabilities rather than ongoing and planned research and
development (R&D) programs, which will be addressed in the committee’s final report. The interim report thus
provides a baseline against which to evaluate the utility of technology and R&D programs. It identifies some
general areas in which innovative R&D is clearly needed, and in some cases is already underway. Assessment of
this work and its applicability to coping with domestic terrorism will constitute the second half of this study and
be the focus of the final report.

Executive Summary
Tuberculosis, a disease caused by infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium bovis, or
Mycobacterium avium, is contagious in humans and other mammals as well as in birds. The focus of this report,
Mycobacterium bovis, causes disease primarily in cattle but also in other mammals, including humans. Because
bovine tuberculosis poses a potent threat to animal and human health, its eradication has been sought in the
United States since 1917. Transmission of the disease from infected animals to the general human population
was effectively halted with the pasteurization of raw milk in the first quarter of the century. By 1985, federal and
state government campaigns had dramatically reduced the population of cattle exposed to–and so possibly
infected by–bovine tuberculosis from 5 percent of the nation’s cattle to fewer than 0.03 percent. However, as the
disease has persisted in livestock, it reduces productivity and presents a health threat to animal industry workers.

In the mid 1980s, eradication efforts appeared stymied even as new disease threats appeared. The
persistence of infection in large dairy herds in the southwest, the apparent rise in the number of infected Mexican
cattle imported into the United States, and the appearance of infected bison, elk, and deer in the rapidly growing
captive herds all contributed to the enhanced potential for spread of bovine tuberculosis. As a consequence, both
the feasibility of attaining the goal of eradication and the effectiveness of the cooperative state-federal
eradication strategy were called into question. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) requested that the National Research Council (NRC) evaluate the
prospects for eradication and the appropriateness of the existing strategy.

Evaluation of the U.S. Department of Defense Persian Gulf Comprehensive Clinical Evaluation Program

Evaluation of the U.S. Department of Defense Persian Gulf Comprehensive Clinical Evaluation Program

by

Committee on the DoD Persian Gulf Syndrome Comprehensive
Clinical Evaluation Program
Division of Health Promotion and Disease Prevention
INSTITUTE OF MEDICINE

ISBN-10: 0309571480
ISBN-13: 9780309571487
Year: 1996

In July 1994, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) asked the Institute of
Medicine (IOM) to establish a committee to evaluate its Comprehensive
Clinical Evaluation Program (CCEP). Since their return from service in the
Persian Gulf region during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, some
active-duty military personnel and veterans have reported a variety of health
problems that they perceived to be associated with their service in that region.
The DoD instituted the CCEP in June 1994 to evaluate and treat the health
problems of these active-duty personnel. The DoD then asked the IOM
committee to evaluate the protocol for the clinical evaluations and to comment
on the interpretation of the CCEP results that have been obtained so far. In
addition, the committee was asked to make recommendations relevant to the
conduct of the clinical evaluations in the future and to the broader program of
the DoD Persian Gulf health studies, if appropriate. The purpose of this report
on the CCEP is to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the major issues that
the committee has identified since its first meeting in October 1994.

The CCEP is a compassionate and comprehensive effort to address the
clinical needs of thousands of active-duty personnel who served in the Persian
Gulf War. The CCEP clinical protocol is a thorough, systematic approach to the
diagnosis of a wide spectrum of diseases. A specific medical diagnosis or
diagnoses can be reached for most patients by using the CCEP protocol. The
DoD has made conscientious efforts to build consistency and quality assurance
into this program at the many medical treatment facilities and regional medical
centers across the country. This nationwide effort was implemented relatively
quickly. The committee commends the DoD for its efforts to provide highquality
medical care in the CCEP and the success it has achieved to date in
developing the infrastructure necessary to efficiently contact, schedule, refer,
and track thousands of patients through the system.

Of the first 10,020 CCEP patients, 37% were diagnosed with a psychiatric
condition, most commonly depression or posttraumatic stress disorder. Many of
the psychiatric diseases found in the CCEP population have both physical and
psychological symptoms and manifestations. The IOM committee encourages
the DoD to emphasize in its future reports that psychosocial stressors can
produce physical and psychological effects that are as real and potentially
devastating as physical, chemical, or biological stressors. The committee also
encourages the DoD to emphasize that effective treatments exist for many of
these psychiatric disorders.

There is currently no clinical evidence in the CCEP for a previously
unknown, serious illness among Persian Gulf veterans. If there were a new or
unique illness or syndrome among Persian Gulf veterans that could cause
serious impairment in a high proportion of veterans at risk, it would probably be
detectable in the population of 10,020 CCEP patients. On the other hand, if an
unknown illness were mild or only affected a small proportion of veterans at
risk, it might not be detectable in a case series, no matter how large. The DoD
and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) are sponsoring several
large research studies that may provide more definitive answers as to whether
there is a new, unique Persian Gulf Syndrome.

The CCEP was not, however, designed to answer epidemiological
questions. Instead, it was designed as a medical evaluation and treatment
program. In a recent report on 10,020 patients, the DoD compares the
symptoms and diagnoses in the CCEP with the symptoms and diagnoses in
several community-based and clinically based populations. The committee
concludes that interpretations based on comparisons with other populations
should be made with great caution and only with the explicit recognition of the
limitations of the CCEP as a self-selected case series. The CCEP results do have
considerable clinical utility, and they could be used to address many important
questions from a descriptive perspective.

The results of the CCEP can and should be used for several purposes
including (1) educating Persian Gulf veterans and the physicians caring for
them, (2) improving the medical protocol itself, and (3) evaluating patient
outcomes. The medical findings of the CCEP should be distributed promptly to
all CCEP primary care physicians. The medical findings of the CCEP would
also be of considerable value and interest to physicians in the DVA system and
in the community.

The DoD should consider developing a comprehensive document for use
in the CCEP that describes the potential physical, chemical, biological, and
psychological stressors that were present in the Persian Gulf theater. If the
CCEP physicians could obtain a clearer picture of the possible range of
exposures, they might be able to counsel their patients more effectively.
Walter Reed Army Medical Center staff have developed the Specialized
Care Center (SCC) for the evaluation, treatment, and rehabilitation of a small,
select group of seriously impaired patients who have been referred from
regional medical centers. The committee’s review should be considered
preliminary because the program is still early in its development. The
committee believes that the DoD has taken a serious approach to the treatment
and rehabilitation of these impaired patients who have treatable, chronic
diseases. If the SCC program is successful in improving the health and
functional status of its patients, perhaps the elements that are most effective in
enabling the patients to cope with their symptoms could be identified. It might
then be possible to disseminate some of these elements to the DoD medical
treatment facilities, which are close to where the CCEP patients live and work.

Preface:
This is a good report. It may seem odd for the chairman of the committee that submitted the report to open
with that statement, but I feel justified in doing so, because I was an interested amateur. I suppose that is one
reason why I was chosen as chairman. I did not know enough about the subject to be biased, and as a former
medical school dean I had had some experience in chairing meetings attended by people with divergent views.

The committee heard testimony from a variety of individuals representing both public and private agencies,
and the staff explored the extent of the health services research enterprise among the various federal agencies. In
reviewing the evidence generated by these activities the committee became aware of two underlying and
recurring themes. The first was a sense of disappointment in the usefulness to policymakers of the product of
health services research, and the second was confusion about what constituted the field. Disappointment leads to
criticism and much of the criticism was directed at the National Center for Health Services Research. Why, for
example, could not the Center provide quick and easy answers to questions about health manpower or cost
containment that would be immediately applicable to federal policy? This in turn led to questions of
organization. Should the Center be expanded to control all research in the field, or should it be eliminated, or
simply reorganized again? Should control of health services research be centralized or decentralized, should
more be done intramurally or more extramurally, and, by the way, do we all agree on what should be labeled
health service research? The report deals with these complex issues and in my view makes some sensible
comments and recommendations, which include:

– Health services research has suffered because of unrealistic expectations of what it could provide in the
way of easy answers for policymakers in the health field. There are no quick fixes for problems of
health manpower and distribution or cost containment. This does not mean that health services research
is unimportant. On the contrary, it means that it is enormously important to know much more than we
do about the complex variety of factors affecting our health care system if we are to make sensible
policy decisions.

– We need to know what we are talking about, and for this reason the report gives a proper definition of
health services research. By “proper,” I mean a definition that is not so wide-ranging as to be
meaningless.

– Health services research is a field and not a discipline and this means that by its very nature it is
multidisciplinary. I use the word multidisciplinary rather than interdisciplinary, for although health
services research draws on such diverse disciplines as economics, epidemiology, and sociology, the
research may be done with or without the combined use of these different disciplines.

– The report strongly supports the continuation of the National Center for Health Services Research
without either reorganization or relocation. The Center is important because it is the only generalpurpose
health services research agency and is free from the constraints of directly administering other
health or health-related activities. This does not mean it should become a super-agency controlling all
health services research, but it could help in the coordination of research in operating agencies.

These are some of the things the report talks about, and it does so in a style which can be understood by the
non-expert. I learned from it and hope you will.

Diffusion MRI: From quantitative measurement to in-vivo neuroanatomy
by: Heidi Johansen-Berg

Diffusion MRI: From quantitative measurement to in-vivo neuroanatomy
By Heidi Johansen-Berg

Publisher: Academic Press
Number Of Pages: 576
Publication Date: 2009-05-15
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0123747090
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780123747099

Product Description:

Diffusion imaging is a non-invasive MR technique that is now being used in novel ways to study aspects of white matter anatomy that could never before be investigated in the living brain. The technique therefore has enormous potential for addressing novel research questions in both basic and clinical neuroscience.
This book aims to cover the field of diffusion imaging from the fundamental theory to its most cutting-edge applications. It contains sufficient detail to be a reference book for medical physicists, but will also cover fundamental aspects of experimental design and example applications that will be of interest to clinical and basic neuroscientists. Importantly, the book presents diffusion imaging in the context of well-established, classical experimental techniques, so that readers will be able to assess the scope and limitations of the new imaging technology with respect to techniques available previously.
Each section includes chapters on methodology (with the more advanced, mathematical material included in appendices for the interested reader), validation of the imaging technology, and application of diffusion imaging to the study of variation and development of normal brain anatomy, and disruption to the white matter in neurological disease or psychiatric disorder.
The aim of the book is to become an essential reference text for scientists designing or interpreting diffusion MR experiments.

Key Features

- The first comprehensive reference on a powerful technique in Brain Imaging
- Contributions from the key scientists in the field, including pioneers of the field Peter BAsser (NIH), Susumu Mori (Johns Hopkins University), and others
- Describes the physical foundations, methods for quantitative analysis, and how the technique is applied to the cutting edge analysis of connections in the brain
- Full color throughout, carefully edited for clarity in style

Product Description:

In Melanesia, rates of HIV infection are among the highest in the Pacific and increasing rapidly, with grave humanitarian, development, and political implications. There is a great need for social research on HIV/AIDS in the region to provide better insights into the sensitive issues surrounding HIV transmission. This collection, the first book on HIV and AIDS in the Pacific region, gathers together stunning and original accounts of the often surprising ways that people make sense of the AIDS epidemic in various parts of Melanesia. The volume addresses substantive issues concerning AIDS and contemporary sexualities, relations of power, and moralities - themes that provide a powerful backdrop for twenty-first century understandings of the tensions between sexuality, religion, and politics in many parts of the world.

ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1552380912

Product Description:

The stories told in this collection, though tragic for many, also illustrate the steadfast determination and courage of people in the face of misfortune and extreme distress. From the lesser-known weed outbreaks and tornadoes to the world-wide influenza outbreak in 1918 that devastated many Calgary families, these stories focus on the human side of these disasters. It may be a heroic individual or the collective response of a community, but what is truly remarkable in these stories is the human response to the world being turned upside down by famine and disease, by flood, fire, or rock slide, by wind and cold, by dynamite or gas explosions, or even by the seemingly mundane threat of weeds upon crops. It is the resolution to continue to fight and the persistence of the human spirit and its adaptability to challenges that is the true story of a century of development in western Canada.

Influenza Pandemic, Efforts to Forestall Onset Are Under Way, Identifying Countries at Greatest Risk Entails Challenges (2007)

Influenza Pandemic, Efforts to Forestall Onset Are Under Way, Identifying Countries at Greatest Risk Entails Challenges (2007)
Publisher: U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO)
Published: June 2007
Pages: 78

Why GAO Did This Study

Since 2003, a global epidemic of avian influenza has raised concern about the risk of an influenza pandemic among humans, which could cause millions of deaths. The United States and its international partners have begun implementing a strategy to forestall (prevent or delay) a pandemic and prepare to cope should one occur. Disease experts generally agree that the risk of a pandemic strain emerging from avian influenza in a given country varies with:

(1) environmental factors, such as disease presence and certain high-risk farming practices

(2) preparedness factors, such as a country’s capacity to control outbreaks.

This report describes:
(1) U.S. and international efforts to assess pandemic risk by country and prioritize countries for assistance

(2) steps that the United States and international partners have taken to improve the ability to forestall a pandemic. To address these objectives, we interviewed officials and analyzed data from U.S. agencies, international organizations, and nongovernmental experts. The U.S. and international agencies whose efforts we describe reviewed a draft of this report. In general, they concurred with our findings. Several provided technical comments, which we incorporated as appropriate

Product Description:

Hemodynamic monitoring is one of the major diagnostic tools available in the acute care setting to diagnose cardiovascular insufficiency and monitor changes over time in response to interventions. However, the rationale and efficacy of hemodynamic monitoring to affect outcome has come into question. We now have increasing evidence that outcome from critical illness can be improved by focused resuscitation based on existing hemodynamic monitoring, whereas non-specific aggressive resuscitation impairs survival. Thus, this book frames hemodynamic monitoring into a functional perspective wherein hemodynamic variables and physiology interact to derive performance and physiological reserve estimates that themselves drive treatment. This philosophy, as well as the limitations and applications of common and evolving hemodynamic measures and their focused use in the care of critically ill patients are discussed, relevant to one underlying truth: No monitoring device, no matter how simple or sophisticated, will improve patient-centered outcomes useless coupled to a treatment which, itself, improves outcome.

The roles of academic health centers in the 21st century. A workshop summary

The roles of academic health centers in the 21st century. A workshop summary
by Committee on the Roles of Academic Health Centers in the 21st Century ; Linda T. Kohn, editor

ISBN-10: 0309528976
ISBN-13: 9780309528979
Year: 2002

The statement of task to the Institute of Medicine Committee on the Roles of Academic
Health Centers (AHCs) in the 21st Century charges it to "examine the current role and status of
academic health centers in American society, anticipate intermediate and long-term opportunities
and challenges for these institutions, and recommend to the institutions themselves, to policy
makers, to the health professions, and to the public, scenarios that might be undertaken to
maximize the public good associated with these institutions. The committee will:

1) Assess the development, contribution and performance of AHCs in teaching, research and
technology development; patient care, including the provision of specialized care; and
community service, including caring for underserved populations.
2) Evaluate whether AHCs are prepared to meet societal needs and expectations over the
coming decades in the areas of: a) an educated and trained professional work force; b)
assessment of the value and cost effectiveness of new technologies and facilitation of their
dispersion; c) provision of health care services to populations dependent upon them (e.g.,
uninsured, poor); and d) provision of leadership in relation to ethical and social aspects of
health.
3) Assess the capacity of AHCs to carry out their multiple functions in an effective and efficient
manner.
4) Identify steps that can be taken by AHCs themselves, and by communities, policymakers, and
others to maintain and enhance the performance of AHCs.

The Committee sponsored a workshop on January 24-25, 2002, hearing testimony from
seventeen experts on the trends and developments in health care, changing health care needs, and
the implications and expectations for AHCs in how they carry out their roles in education,
research and patient care. These proceedings summarize the presentations and discussions held at
the workshop.

The agenda for the workshop was divided into three sections: 1) Changing Needs and
Trends in Health Care, 2) Creating a Vision for the Future, and 3) Creating an Environment to
Support Needed Changes. The format included brief presentations by one or more presenters,
followed by questions and comments from other participants at the workshop. After all questions
or comments had been raised during a discussion period, the presenters responded to the group of
questions or comments raised. This format permitted maximum participation by all workshop
participants. However, in reading these proceedings, it should be noted that questions may have
been raised during the discussion that were not directly answered at the workshop. The value to
the committee, however, was in hearing the types of concerns raised and the complexities
associated with many of the issues.

ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0597841144
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780597841149

Product Description:

This is a "must have" reference book for patients, parents, caregivers, and libraries with medical collections. This sourcebook is organized into three parts. Part I explores basic techniques to researching megalencephaly (e.g. finding guidelines on diagnosis, treatments, and prognosis), followed by a number of topics, including information on how to get in touch with organizations, associations, or other patient networks dedicated to megalencephaly. It also gives you sources of information that can help you find a doctor in your local area specializing in treating megalencephaly. Collectively, the material presented in Part I is a complete primer on basic research topics for patients with megalencephaly. Part II moves on to advanced research dedicated to megalencephaly. Part II is intended for those willing to invest many hours of hard work and study. It is here that we direct you to the latest scientific and applied research on megalencephaly. When possible, contact names, links via the Internet, and summaries are provided. In general, every attempt is made to recommend "free-to-use" options. Part III provides appendices of useful background reading for all patients with megalencephaly or related disorders. The appendices are dedicated to more pragmatic issues faced by many patients with megalencephaly. Accessing materials via medical libraries may be the only option for some readers, so a guide is provided for finding local medical libraries which are open to the public. Part III, therefore, focuses on advice that goes beyond the biological and scientific issues facing patients with megalencephaly.

A Cheap, Safe and Natural Medicine. Religion, Medicine and Culture in John Wesley’s Primitive Physic. (Clio Medica 83). (The Wellcome Series in the Hisotry of Medicine)

ISBN-10 / ASIN: 9042022744
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9789042022744

Product Description:

John Wesley’s Primitive Physic (1747) achieved twenty-three editions in his lifetime, ensuring its popular and controversial status in eighteenth-century medicine. This is the first full-length study to examine the theological, intellectual and cultural background to one of the period’s most successful medical texts. By exploring Wesley’s work in the context of his theology, ‘A Cheap, Safe and Natural Medicine’ extends the on-going reconfiguration of the relationship between religion and medicine. Wesley was on a theological mission to recover the primitive purity of the first Christians. Yet the remedies contained within Primitive Physic suggest a pragmatic thinker, whose concern for spiritual health did not prevent him from providing practical assistance to those who needed it. The evolution of Wesley’s thinking also demonstrates some of the struggles he faced as leader of the Methodist movement, such as the way he handled contemporary criticism of Primitive Physic when religious ‘enthusiasm’ was often conflated with medical ‘quackery’. ‘A Cheap, Safe and Natural Medicine’ will be of interest not only to medical and literary historians, but to anyone who is interested in the way religion influences medicine.

Coping With Braces and Other Orthodontic Work
By Jordan Lee, Carolyn Simpson

Publisher: Rosen Publishing Group
Number Of Pages: 95
Publication Date: 1998-07
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0823927210
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780823927210

Product Description:

Discusses why braces are needed, how to deal with dentists and orthodontists, the procedures behind orthodontic work, living with braces and after, and dealing with the emotional side of wearing braces.

About the Author

Jordan Lee is both a college instructor and freelance writer in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She contrasts her own experiences wearing braces in the late 1960s with her daughter’s experiences now in the ’90s. As she and her older daughter both suffer from TMJ, she has come to know a lot of dentists and orthodontists across the country. Born and raised in New England, Jordan Lee now resides with her family near Tulsa.

Acknowledgments

Special thanks to Dr. James S. Torchia, D.D.S., M.S.D., who graciously shared his knowledge and expertise for this book. Dr. Torchia is a board-certified orthodontist who practices in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In 1993 he was named Oklahoma Dentist of the Year. Thanks, also, to his staff of dental assistants: Sherrie Hermann, Jeanne Keller, Sandra Hill, Jenni Ingram, Ellen Reynolds, and Kellie Brewer, who allowed me to watch them work and answered all my questions.

In addition, I’m grateful to the many persons who described their experiences wearing braces and retainers. Thank you, Jessica Clarke (an eighth-grader from Buxton, Maine), who comes from a family of braces-wearers: both her mother and grandmother wore braces as adults. Thank you, Nellie Clarke, for your stories, and to Michal Simpson and Melissa Young for their experiences.

Finally, thanks to all my students who volunteered their stories about the pleasure (and misery) of wearing braces. My book is more complete because of them.

Publication Date: 2002-10
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0597830711
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780597830716

Product Description:

This book has been created for patients who have decided to make education and research an integral part of the treatment process. Although it also gives information useful to doctors, caregivers and other health professionals, it tells patients where and how to look for information covering virtually all topics related to hemifacial spasm (also ), from the essentials to the most advanced areas of research. The title of this book includes the word official. This reflects the fact that the sourcebook draws from public, academic, government, and peer-reviewed research. Selected readings from various agencies are reproduced to give you some of the latest official information available to date on hemifacial spasm. Given patients’ increasing sophistication in using the Internet, abundant references to reliable Internet-based resources are provided throughout this sourcebook. Where possible, guidance is provided on how to obtain free-of-charge, primary research results as well as more detailed information via the Internet. E-book and electronic versions of this sourcebook are fully interactive with each of the Internet sites mentioned (clicking on a hyperlink automatically opens your browser to the site indicated). Hard-copy users of this sourcebook can type cited Web addresses directly into their browsers to obtain access to the corresponding sites. In addition to extensive references accessible via the Internet, chapters include glossaries of technical or uncommon terms.

Summary: Outdated resource
Rating: 1

This book basically presents web sites related to hemifacial spasm, but in the internet age, a four-year-old resource is practicaly an antique. The book does not address the topic of microvascular decompression surgery, which was the primary reason I bought it.

If you need information about this rare disorder, I recommend a visit to the Hemifacial Spasm Association web site at http://www.hfs-assn.org/

Summary: I’ve read them all now
Rating: 3

Most of the reading population for GBS is limited to people like myself: those who’ve been struck with this rare disease and are searching for as much information as possible. By now you’ve all read "Bed Number Ten" and Joseph Heller’s "No Laughing Matter" and, if you’re wise, the best one out there which is Gareth Parry and Joel Steinberg’s "Guillain-Barre syndrome" published by the American Neurological Association. Theirs is the book to buy and study, not this one. If you’re like me and suffered through the disease and are now waiting patiently, as promised, for your life to return to normal, you’re looking for answers. This particular book-even with it’s interactive CDROM accompaniment offers no more than the typical thorough internet research you’ve already found. As far as the personal account books go, you’ve lived through that and though Susan Baier will help you to connect and feel less alone, even she begins to whine about "neglect" from medical staff-a common theme by the non-professional writers-because there is nothing that these medical professionals can do to make you feel better. You’re going to have to survive the coma, the hallucinations, the paralysis, the inability to breath on your own and then the painstaking work to regain the use of your body. Then, for an untold amount of years you will learn to live with the excrutiating pain and, worse in my opinion, what is laughably referred to as "fatigue." Yes, a large number of GBS patients return to their normal activities from prior to GBS, but not me-not yet, and I’m nearly three years out now. No one speaks about how you FEEL while you’re back to your old life. But something will always be different. This book and CD offer nothing more than you’ve already read. I promise you.

Microarrays in Inflammation (Progress in Inflammation Research)

Microarrays in Inflammation (Progress in Inflammation Research)
By Andreas Bosio, Bernhard Gerstmayer

Publisher: Birkhäuser Basel
Number Of Pages: 232
Publication Date: 2008-11
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 376438333X
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9783764383336

Product Description:

The book is of interest to academic and industrial researchers but also clinicians who are working on inflammation related topics and would like to extend their knowledge about microarrays and the application thereof. After reading the book a researcher or clinician should be in the position to plan, perform and analyse or to critically review microarray experiments related to inflammation research.

So far, non of the published books covers all aspects which need to be taken into account when planning and performing a microrray experiment in inflammation research. Normally, for a researcher or clinician doing a microarray experiment it is not enough to have knowledge about microarrays , as the experiment does not start with purified and quality controlled RNA and does not end with signal intensities. Things like appropriate cell sorting techniques, stabilisation and transport of RNA or cells, the knowledge how to deal with whole blood as well as options for automation are crucial for a successful application of microarrays. Moreover these aspects are the main obstacles for transferring microarray based inflammation analysis from bench to bedside and the limiting factors for higher through put as needed in multicenter studies.

ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780597841996

Product Description:

This is a "must have" reference book for patients, parents, caregivers, and libraries with medical collections. This sourcebook is organized into three parts. Part I explores basic techniques to researching small intestine cancer (e.g. finding guidelines on diagnosis, treatments, and prognosis), followed by a number of topics, including information on how to get in touch with organizations, associations, or other patient networks dedicated to small intestine cancer. It also gives you sources of information that can help you find a doctor in your local area specializing in treating small intestine cancer. Collectively, the material presented in Part I is a complete primer on basic research topics for patients with small intestine cancer. Part II moves on to advanced research dedicated to small intestine cancer. Part II is intended for those willing to invest many hours of hard work and study. It is here that we direct you to the latest scientific and applied research on small intestine cancer. When possible, contact names, links via the Internet, and summaries are provided. In general, every attempt is made to recommend "free-to-use" options. Part III provides appendices of useful background reading for all patients with small intestine cancer or related disorders. The appendices are dedicated to more pragmatic issues faced by many patients with small intestine cancer. Accessing materials via medical libraries may be the only option for some readers, so a guide is provided for finding local medical libraries which are open to the public. Part III, therefore, focuses on advice that goes beyond the biological and scientific issues facing patients with small intestine cancer.
