Momentum Press Diseases That Are Preventable by Vaccination: Polio, Tetanus, Measles, and Mumps
Book SynopsisVaccinations provide an effective way to prevent fatal diseases or reduce their symptoms. This book highlights four infectious diseases: polio, tetanus, measles, and mumps. These four diseases are very harmful to human health and are difficult to treat after the infection because they are caused by a toxin or pathogenic virus. In all four cases, the disease exhibits different modes of transmission and progression of symptoms, which require unique treatment regimens. However, all cases can be prevented by vaccinations administered prior to infection.This book summarizes the symptoms and disease progression of all the four diseases and provides information about the toxin or virus that causes each disease. The ability to harness our immune system through vaccination is discussed in the context of disease prevention. Minor and infrequent risks associated with vaccination are also described, but the very dangerous misconception that vaccines cause autism or other major illnesses is strongly refuted.

Cmo matar de hambre al cncer Una historia real de
Book SynopsisJane McLelland tenía solo 30 años cuando le diagnosticaron cáncer. Unos años más tarde estaba en fase 4 (o terminal) y se había extendido a sus pulmones. Le dieron una esperanza de vida de doce semanas, pero se negó a creer que no existieran medicamentos o terapias eficaces. Su formación científica le permitió examinar y asimilar cientos de artículos de investigación y la conclusión a la que llegó la dejó asombrada. Habría una nueva forma de tratar el cáncer entre la extrema toxicidad de la quimioterapia de dosis alta y las terapias alternativas? Una que pudiera sacar lo mejor de la medicina convencional, así como de la complementaria? Sería posible encontrar un tratamiento que privara a las células cancerosas de los nutrientes que necesitan como combustible? Existía la posibilidad de que ?algo? matara de hambre al cáncer, pero no a ella?Diecisiete años después, Jane está viva, llena de energía, salud, libre de cáncer y luchando para cambiar la forma en que se trata a los pacientes

Oxford University Press, USA Shattered Nerves Doctors Patients and Depression in Victorian England
Book SynopsisJanet Oppenheim''s book explores an illness that figures in nearly every volume of Victorian autobiography, memoirs, diaries, letters, and more than a few novels. Variously described as shattered nerves, nervous collapse, neurasthenia, or nervous breakdown, the illness was the focus of extensive medical discussion during the Victorian and Edwardian decades. Few doctors could decide whether nervous breakdown was a physiological disorder, to be cured by medication, or a moral weakness for which the patient needed psychiatric care.Oppenheim uses the letters, diaries, and autobiographies of men and women who suffered breakdowns, examines medical archives, published scientific sources, and contemporary fiction, in which the `nervous type'' was so familiar as to border on caricature. Shattered Nerves places a puzzling medical problem in its full social, cultural, and intellectual context.Trade Review`Throughout, this is a remarkeable example of traditional scholarly writing and publishing. No misprints, no theorizing; instead, plain English and knowledgable pragmatism ... must become the standard survey of its subject.' History`Professor Oppenheim writes with agreeable gusto. With a historian's skills she masters the intricacies of psychiatric thinking admirably ... serious, stimulating, and entertaining.' The Lancet'Janet Oppenheim is Professor of History at the American University, Washington, DC. She spent nigh on a decade writing this admirable book, which combines scholarship with wit and clarity of writing. This is a great source book for any who are interested in the origins of our ideas about depression. It illuminates the present, as it illuminates the past. I recommend it thoroughly.' Paul Bebbington, Insitute of Psychiatry, London, International Review of Psychiatry (1992)John Reddick has written a substantial and compelling book on Georg Büchner. John Reddick communicates his sense of wonder at Büchner's achievement, which he describes using terms applied to the plays of Molière - "une transcription physique". This is a good book, and long overdue. * Forum for Modern Language Studies. Vol. XXXIII, No. 4 '97 *
