Regaining intimacy accelerates the path to regaining health and this book is an insightful, powerful guide to doing exactly that. -- Bill Frist, MD, former U.S. Senate Majority LeaderSex and cancer, two topics each of which are difficult to discuss by alone. Combine them and the anxiety they cause may be insurmountable. Finally, there is a resource that is compassionate and practical for both the person coping with cancer and their loved one. This is a book that you will immediately find useful and refer back to on your cancer journey. Sex and Cancer has my highest recommendation. -- Stan Goldberg, PhD, author of Loving, Supporting, and Caring for the Cancer PatientA diagnosis of cancer changes everything. Not only does cancer affect the body, but the disease and the treatments for it can take a toll on our most intimate relationships. Kudos to Saketh Guntapalli for shining a light on this important topic--for explaining the physiological underpinnings of these effects and for providing solutions that are often surprisingly simple to implement. -- Claudia Cornwall, PhD, author of Battling Melanoma: One Couple's Struggle from Diagnosis to Cure and Catching Cancer: The Quest for its Viral and Bacterial CausesThis book contains critical information, too often omitted from doctor-patient discussions. It will be exceedingly helpful to any woman with gynecological cancer. -- Carol L.

Book SynopsisUnlike conventional single daily observations, time lapse technology provides hundreds of images, which allows pinpointing of key events in the embryo's in vitro development as well as the detection of brief but significant critical changes. This information is beneficial in selecting the most viable embryos from a cohort and increases the chances of a positive outcome.The Atlas of Time Lapse Embryology describes in detail the technology and techniques surrounding time lapse embryology. The book also covers the clinical aspects of time lapse imaging, morphokinetic timings, implantation data, fertilization, compaction, blastulation, irregular cleavages, multinucleation, vacuolation, zona defects, and other topics. The book is easy to read, practical, and illustrated with dozens of images and video clips to help explain a variety of concepts. It will help practitioners to better understand how time lapse monitoring may dramatically increase flTrade Review"A very impressive addition to the library of books and resources available for embryologists in training and in practice… The combined format of the text, pictures, and the online supplements in a simple accessible format make this a great book… A very useful book for trainers on and students training in clinical embryology." - (Highly Commended, Obstetrics & Gynecology, BMA Medical Book Awards 2016)Table of ContentsEquipment Required for Time Lapse Observations in In Vitro Fertilization.

Book SynopsisThe average physician and even cancer care-givers are not knowledgeable about the effects of cancer treatment on sex and reproductive life. They are even less aware of the options available for treatment of such patients. Cancer and Sexual Health fills a great need for a reference work devoted to the link between cancer and human sexuality. The volume is designed to give a comprehensive and state-of-the-art review of the sexual and reproductive consequences of cancer diagnosis and treatment. It will prove an invaluable resource for those clinicians caring for cancer patients as well as acting as a reference text for the sexual medicine clinician who may not see a large number of cancer patients.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“Nearly 100 internationally recognised contributors … collected an impressive amount of information useful for sexual medicine clinicians, urologists and oncologists. The book is divided into five parts. … All pharmacological, nutritional, surgical and psychological strategies were exhaustively considered including current and future options. This outstanding textbook succeeded in its aim and we recommend this as a reference to clinicians involved in cancer management or in urology-andrology for them to obtain valuable information which can be useful in clinical practice.” (European Eurology Today, October/November, 2011)“Cover the issues of sexual function before, during, and after cancer treatment. … appeal to primary care practitioners, surgeons, urologists, gynecologists, psychologists, psychiatrists, endocrinologists, social workers, and lay people. … chapters are so well written and illustrated that a person without a medical background could understand it. … This book should be an important part of the library of every clinician … . an excellent resource and has very broad appeal to numerous specialists, clinicians, and even lay people.

Book SynopsisGrowing numbers of women who experience pregnancy loss of all kinds - from early spontaneous miscarriage to stillbirth - seek help from practitioners of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in their recovery and preparation for future pregnancy. However, CAM is largely unregulated, and can be an unfamiliar and confusing area for mainstream health professionals. Many of these also have questions about the efficacy and safety of complementary or alternative treatments, and what they may be able to offer. Meanwhile, CAM practitioners may be unaware of the medical investigations and treatments available for conditions such as miscarriage, ectopics, gestational trophoblastic disease, preterm labour, foetal reduction, intrauterine death and stillbirth, and other less common complications. This book, written by an experienced CAM practitioner, aims primarily to provide medical professionals with the knowledge and confidence to advise women seeking complementary or alternative treatments. The author draws on her experience as a CAM practitioner to illustrate key areas where integrating sound and professional CAM into standard practice can offer women benefits, including improved psychological recovery from pregnancy loss. It also gives CAM practitioners greater insight into conventional medicine, and aids them to better understand, respect and care for women experiencing pregnancy loss. This book will be essential reading for all those who work with women who have experienced pregnancy loss, including health visitors, midwives, GPs, practice nurses, counsellors, psychotherapists, and CAM practitioners of all kinds.Table of ContentsPregnancy of loss defined. Causes and risk factors. Multiple pregnancy and infertility. Investigations, treatment and management. Psychological issues in pregnancy loss. Preparing for the next pregnancy. Complementary and alternative medicine in context. Professional issues.

Book SynopsisMany of the issues that relate to women's health from period pain to infertility, can be self-treated with Chinese medicine approaches, and this clear and practical guide explains how to assess symptoms and choose the most effective form of treatment. Written for women interested in taking a more active role in their own health and well-being, the book covers health issues of the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and post-partum, menopause, fertility, and fibrocystic breast disease amongst others.Taking a holistic approach that includes the traditional Chinese approach that food is medicine, appropriate recipes are included along with other treatment suggestions. The author provides an overview of the history of Chinese medicine and a clear and simple explanation of the principles of its theoretical basis, including the 5 vital substances, organ theory, channel (meridian theory) and the nature of Yin and Yang, thus providing a context for understanding symptoms from a Chinese perspective, and treatments that can be undertaken at home.Trade ReviewEddie is one of Ireland's leading practitioners of Chinese Medicine. His book gives a very informative overview of a very debilitating issue for many women; it gives a wonderful understanding of how Chinese medicine can help an area of women's health that is often under-treated with modern medicine. It shows how Chinese medicine has a role in the age of synthetic drugs and can complement modern medicine. -- Eamonn Brady (MPharm, MPSI) Pharmacist and owner of Whelehans Pharmacy, Pearse St and Clonmore Mullingar, Co WestmeathTable of Contents1.
