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 *

OUP USA The Scleroderma Book
Book SynopsisScleroderma means hardening of the skin, due to a malfunction of the vascular and immune system resulting in the overproduction of collagen (a protein substance found in the body''s connective tissue). In this second edition of The Scleroderma Book, Dr Maureen Mayes - the leading authority in the field - draws on her extensive experience treating scleroderma to provide up-to-date, practical information that will help patients manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.Scleroderma can be localized (small patches of hardened skin, which tend to clear up over time), but may become systemic with excess collagen building up in various organs such as the oesophagus, kidneys, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, heart skin, and peripheral nervous system. The disorder most commonly occurs in women between the ages of 20 and 40. However, men and children can be affected as well. The disease is not contagious and is not thought to be inherited and currently, there is no known cure.WritingTrade Review"Dr. Mayes' book is the ultimate resource for patients and their families seeking to gain a better understanding of this complex disease. Her compassion and dedication for her patients is evident throughout the book, from her easy-to-understand description of scleroderma and its manifestations, to more personal subjects such as depression, lifestyle changes, and patient-physician relationships. She promotes further understanding by the use of case studies that patients can easily relate to. If education is the key to alleviating anxiety, making patients more effective partners in their care, and providing a more positive way of coping with scleroderma, then every patient, family member, caregiver, and friend needs this book." --Carolyn Weller, RN, Vice President Education & Research, Scleroderma Foundation "This is a comprehensive but easy-to-read book that I would recommend for all people with scleroderma and their families to read, and then use as a reference. Dr. Mayes has provided a thorough description of the multiple aspects of scleroderma and addresses questions about symptoms, investigations, treatment, and coping with scleroderma. I rate it a 10 out of 10!" --Dr. Janet Pope, MD, MPH, FRCPC, Professor of Medicine, Rheumatologist, Epidemiologist and Scleroderma Specialist, St. Joseph's Health Care, University of Western Ontario, London, Canada "This easily understandable book describes the background of scleroderma and how scleroderma can affect a person. It is of great value to patients who have been recently diagnosed with the disease and also to those who have suffered longer. The last section, on coping with scleroderma, although short, should be particularly useful for patients learning to live with scleroderma." --Daniel E. Furst, MD, Carl M. Pearson Professor of Rheumatology, Director of Clinical Research, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA "Dr. Mayes' book is the ultimate resource for patients and their families seeking to gain a better understanding of this complex disease.
