Book Description:
Currently, there is no comprehensive source of information available to non-specialist physicians and nurses providing end-of-life care for advanced cancer patients at a level between specialist oncology texts and nursing texts. Two eminent physicians from one of the world's foremost cancer centers have drawn together a remarkable team to provide a handbook which covers the full range of problems non-specialists will encounter. This highly accessible text covers general principles in oncology, each of the primary tumors, and management of specific symptoms and syndromes.

Beyond Genetics: The User’s Guide to DNA

Book Publisher: Harper Paperbacks (09 November, 2004)
ISBN: 0060008016
Book author: Glenn Mcgee
Amazon Rating: 5.0

Book Description:
Genetic science is about to radically alter our lives. Sooner than you can imagine, human beings will be capable of diagnosing their own illnesses, designating the sex of their children, even designing the food they eat — all as easily as using a cell phone. Now is the time for every one of us to take control of our DNA, and one man is uniquely qualified to show us how: Glenn McGee, bioethicist at the University of Pennsylvania, pioneer in the study of "home genetics," and the acknowledged wunderkind of the exciting world found at the nexus of life science and computer technology.
One of the most respected authorities in the field of genomics — the study of the genetic "software" inside plants, animals, and us — McGee takes us on an eye-opening journey behind the headlines and into the heart of this formidable cutting-edge science. Probing the far-ranging ethical and legal implications of genomic research, McGee tackles its most controversial and hotly debated aspects — from patenting your DNA to genetic engineering at the supermarket — and explodes unnecessary fears about this wondrous new knowledge.
We live in a brave new world. Beyond Genetics provides us with the knowledge we need to take the right steps forward into tomorrow … and beyond.

Healing Back Pain

Posted: 12 Feb 2008 05:43 AM CST


Product Details
Book Publisher: Grand Central Publishing (01 February, 1991)
ISBN: 0446392308
Book author: John E. Sarno
Amazon Rating: 4.5

Book Description:
Healing Back Pain promises permanent elimination of back pain without drugs, surgery, or exercise. It should have been titled Understanding TMS Pain, because it discusses one particular cause of back pain–Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS)–and isn't really a program for self-treatment, with only five pages of action plan (and many more pages telling why conventional methods don't work). According to John E. Sarno, M.D., TMS is the major cause of pain in the back, neck, shoulders, buttocks, and limbs–and it is caused not by structural abnormalities but by the mind's effort to repress emotions. He's not saying that your pain is all in your head; rather, he's saying that the battle going on in your mind results in a real physical disorder that may affect muscles, nerves, tendons, or ligaments. An injury may have triggered the disorder, but is not the cause of the amount or intensity of the resulting pain. According to Sarno, the mind tricks you into not facing repressed emotion by making you focus on pain in the body. When this realization sinks in ("and it must sink in, for mere intellectual appreciation of the process is not enough"), the trick doesn't work any more, and there's no need for the pain. (Healing Back Pain should not be used for self-diagnosis. Always consult a physician for chronic or acute back pain.) –Joan Price

Book Description:
This book addresses the most common gynecological problems encountered in childhood medicine, including endocrinological and surgical aspects. It begins with a detailed description of infant and adolescent gynecological examination and then covers the advantages of imaging methods, with an emphasis on sonography. Several chapters are devoted to the various pathologies encountered in prepubertal and adolescent girls, including contemporary social issues (e.g., sexual abuse, sexually transmitted diseases, contraception for teenagers and teenage pregnancy). The gynecological problems encountered in children and adolescents are often both medically and psychologically complex and thus require a highly skilled and coherent approach. One of the practical advantages of this book is that it presents a clear plan for clinical management and treatment in this patient population.Providing practical information for dealing with frequently encountered problems in prepubertal and adolescent girls,

Chemical Warfare Agents: Toxicology and Treatment

Posted: 12 Feb 2008 05:39 AM CST


Product Details
Book Publisher: Wiley (18 May, 2007)
ISBN: 0470013591
Book author: Timothy C. Marrs, Robert L. Maynard, Frederick Sidell
Amazon Rating: 5.0

Book Description:
Chemical Warfare Agents, Second Edition has been totally revised since the successful first edition and expanded to about three times the length, with many new chapters and much more in-depth consideration of all the topics. The chapters have been written by distinguished international experts in various aspects of chemical warfare agents and edited by an experienced team to produce a clear review of the field.
The book now contains a wealth of material on the mechanisms of action of the major chemical warfare agents, including the nerve agent cyclosarin, formally considered to be of secondary importance, as well as ricin and abrin. Chemical Warfare Agents, Second Edition discusses the physico-chemical properties of chemical warfare agents, their dispersion and fate in the environment, their toxicology and management of their effects on humans, decontamination and protective equipment. New chapters cover the experience gained after the use of sarin to attack travellers on the Tokyo subway and how to deal with the outcome of the deployment of riot control agents such as CS gas.
This book provides a comprehensive review of chemical warfare agents, assessing all available evidence regarding the medical, technical and legal aspects of their use. It is an invaluable reference work for physicians, public health planners, regulators and any other professionals involved in this field.
Review of the First Edition:
"What more appropriate time for a title of this scope than in the post 9/11 era? …a timely, scholarly, and well-written volume which offers much information of immense current and…future benefit."
—VETERINARY AND HUMAN TOXICOLOGY
