Basic Books The Illness Narratives: Suffering, Healing, And
Book SynopsisWestern medicine treats sick patients like broken machines -- figure out what is physically wrong, fix it, and send the patient on their way. But humans are not machines. When we are ill, we experience our illness: we become scared, distressed, tired, weary. Our illnesses are not just biological conditions, but human ones.It was Arthur Kleinman, a Harvard psychiatrist and anthropologist, who saw this truth when most of his fellow doctors did not. Based on decades of clinical experience studying and treating chronic illness, The Illness Narratives makes a case for interpreting the illness experience of patients as a core feature of doctoring.Before Being Mortal or The Body Keeps the Score, there was The Illness Narratives. It remains today a prescient and passionate case for bridging the gap between patient and practitioner.

Oxford University Press Oxford Clinical Guidelines Newly Qualified Doctor
Book SynopsisMedical practice in the modern age requires familiarity with clinical guidelines and standards, which are often published separately in long and discursive documents. This new addition to the Oxford Medical Publications summarises the key clinical practice guidelines which all final year medical students and Foundation Year 1 and 2 doctors should know when managing common conditions. Logically organised by medical specialty, the reader can quickly familiarise themselves with the key principles of diagnosis and management at the appropriate level for beginning a new rotation on the wards. Each guideline summary is tailored to the education level expected of doctors in their first two years of training, with clear instructions for when a more senior colleague should be called upon to help. Written by a team of junior doctors under the supervision of senior clinicians, this is the first resource to distil a range of guidelines from different locations (such as NICE, SIGN, and more) into aTrade ReviewIncredibly thorough and really well thought out. This [book] would be incredibly helpful both in clinical practice day to day and as a tool to prepare for exams * Foundation Year 1 doctor (newly qualified doctor), Croydon University Hospital, UK *Perfectly pitched to its target audience. I wish I had this book when I started as a medical trainee * ST1 Radiology Trainee, University Hospital Southampton, UK *Clear, informative, and full of detail * Internal medical trainee stage 2 (qualified doctor for 4 years), County Durham and Darlington Foundation Trust, UK *The book will be a valuable resource for students and trainees seeing patients in the clinic or hospital. It will also be beneficial for more experienced general practice doctors, as a refresher for infrequently seen conditions. The book can serve as a reference text in a medical school library, as it provides an overview of topics likely to be on in-training tests.

This book is comprehensive but accessible, and it is clear the authors have tried hard to make it un-intimidating. I think they have succeeded! There are a great many of us who are unsure where to start with POCUS – FUSIC is a well-known, beautifully packaged programme for most. This book is small enough to put in your bag and will undoubtedly help you improve your practice, even if a mentor is not around. The author list is a veritable rogues gallery of ultrascoundrels. Names such as Marcus Peck and Ashley Miller (co-chairs of the FUSIC committee) and Manni Waraich (neuro POCUS guru) reassure the reader that this is an absolute treasure trove of expert knowledge (in fact, many of the FUSIC committee are included in the list). There are over 40 contributors listed, each one bringing a career’s worth of expertise. A highly useful book which has something for everyone, from beginner to advanced. One of the most comprehensive guides to all elements of critical care POCUS.... Even though there is a wealth of online material covering POCUS, sometimes there’s nothing like a book to refer to. I expect this will be a regular in my work bag." CriticalCareNorthampton.com'Point-of-Care Ultrasound in Critical Care is a delightful review of the constantly evolving realm of point-of-care ultrasound, or POCUS, as it has been colloquially referred. With over 41 contributors, 28 chapters, and 350 pages, the book covers a variety of important point-of-care topics, with early chapters dedicated to the familiar examinations, including echocardiography and lung, abdominal, and vascular ultrasound. These topics are broken into multiple chapters, with early chapters dedicated to view acquisition and later chapters dedicated to assessment and clinical judgement of normal physiology and pathology. As one of the first attempts to encompass a young and everexpanding field, Point-of-Care Ultrasound in Critical Care is an excellent guide to the discipline. For readers across all specialties and experiences, this book will provide a thorough but unintimidating approach to a skillset that will continue to guide the practice of medicine in years to come.' British Journal of Anaesthesia 17/1/2023A must buy for ICU POCUS enthusiasts 'An excellent book with chapters from some of the best sonographers around. Something for beginners and experts and a great collection of images and video clips. Would highly recommend!' Amazon review 'Such a great book. Can’t wait to try out my new POCUS knowledge on the ward! An essential for all medical libraries.' Amazon reviewState of the Art 'The most current literature in this field. I recommend it to everyone working in this field. Even an experienced sonographer will get some pearls for clinical practice.' Amazon review Useful for my ITU rotation ‘Very useful for applying USS skills in Critical Care.' Amazon reviewer If, like me, you are yet to fully master your ultrasound skills, then ‘Point of Care Ultrasound in Critical Care’ edited by Flower and Madhivathan is worth your precious time and cash. Kudos to these editors, and to each of contributing ultrasound gurus: they have ably summarized what ‘luddites’, like me, need…. If your ultrasound skills can be described with the same words that a Francophone colleague used to summarize my French language skills – namely ‘enthusiastic but modest’ – then you are, like me, this book’s target audience. I can happily report that I am now, if not ultrasound fluent, then at least more able to get around… The authors and publishers deserve further kudos because this 28-chapter book is Goldilocks-long (340 pages), and affordably priced... -- Peter Brindley * Journal of Intensive Care Society *Table of ContentsAn introduction to ultrasound 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Is This Autism
Book SynopsisThis companion guide to Is This Autism? A Guide for Clinicians and Everyone Else shows clinicians how to assess for the possibility of autism in clients of all ages. Understanding of autism has greatly expanded in recent years, and many clinicians feel ill-equipped or confused about how to incorporate this knowledge into their diagnostic process. As a result, countless unidentified autistic people do not have reasonable access to proper identification or support. This book describes current assessment methods, including interviewing, rating scales, self-report measures, social cognition tests, and behavioral observations. It also provides guidance regarding cultural considerations, common mistakes, and how to communicate with and support clients through the diagnostic process. This very practical clinical guide provides a clear and neurodiversity-affirmative approach to autism assessment, particularly for autistic individuals who have previously beTrade Review"The two-volume set, Is This Autism? A Guide for Clinicians and Everyone Else and Is This Autism? A Companion Guide for Diagnosing, is a towering accomplishment, bringing together the state of the art of scientific and clinical insights into autism with the lived experience and perspectives of autistic people. Sensitively written, meticulously observed, and profoundly compassionate, this book will transform your understanding of autism, whether you're a clinician, a family member, or an autistic person yourself." — Steve Silberman, author of NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity"Is This Autism? is just brilliant —genuinely two of the best books I have ever read! Drs. Henderson, Wayland, and White embrace Neuro-Affirming practice, bringing together their clinical and life experience to give a richness that is much needed within the medical and therapeutic field of autism. — Barb Cook, M.Aut., Dip.HSc., Developmental Educator, Director NeuroEmploy Pty Ltd & NeuroDiversity Hub, Founder Spectrum Women"Is This Autism? integrates the voices of autistic people and the latest research to provide a readable, empowering and comprehensive resource for clinicians of all kinds." — Lauren Kenworthy, Ph.D., Pediatric Neuropsychologist, Director, Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders, Children’s National Hospital "This book presents a respectful, rich, and expansive description of what Autism really looks like across individuals. It provides an invaluable resource to help clinicians move past the often inaccurate, restricted, and stereotypical expectations that have historically limited an appreciation for the full "spectrum" of this diagnosis. It is a must read for all neuropsychologists as we all work with this population whether we know it or not." — Kira Armstrong, Pediatric Neuropsychologist, co-editor of The Clinical Neuropsychologist’s Special Issue: Assessment and Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders"I LOVE EVERYTHING in this book - its organization/structure, the rich autistic voices, the FAQs, etc. I’ve learned so much. I believe this book will be essential for any clinicians working with this population — there is no other book of this caliber as far as I am aware." — Meng-Chuan Lai, autism researcher"The strength of the book comes from the fact that the authors sought explicit feedback, collaborating deeply with multiple autistic contributors, who guided the direction of the book… Finally, our shared experiences are elevated to a space where their capacity to teach professionals, family members, peers, and everyone else is celebrated and maximized." — Dena Gassner, M.S.W., Ph.D.(c), Autistic scholar, Adjunct Professor, Towson University"These important books by Donna Henderson, Sarah Wayland, and Jamell White are easily, I might even say enjoyably, read and provide professionals giving the diagnosis a well-researched way of thinking about Autism. Considering Autism, especially with the upsurge in incidence, I ask, ‘How do we stay curious?’ The answer is to read these books. The expertise conveyed is crucial for anyone interested in autism. The books are a necessary resource for clinicians, researchers and diagnosticians. Without hesitation, I rate them, to date, the most important work in the field." — Rachelle K. Sheely, Ph.D., President RDI"Lived experiences, professional expertise, and research are carefully woven together in Is this Autism — a must read for ALL clinicians to enable them to recognize and better serve the often unseen and unheard autistic clients that come into their offices." — Kim Clairy, OTR/L, Autistic Occupational Therapist "Is This Autism? is revolutionary in its empowering messages for clinicians and for individuals with autistic brains, alike. Drs. Henderson and Wayland are clearly changing the conversation about how autism is understood and diagnosed, and the world is a better place for it. If you have any interest in autism (and even if you don’t!), this book is truly a must-read! I assure you: You have never read another one like it." — Karin Varblow, MD, Pediatrician"Is This Autism? presents current autism research and relevant clinical guidance within an affirming, easy-to-understand framework." — Jeremy Sharp, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist and host of The Testing Psychologist podcast"This amazing book is an indispensable tool for helping clinicians and parents understand and identify the less obvious presentations of autism. It is filled with practical wisdom rooted in the authors’ personal and clinical experience, as well as their enormous respect for neurodiversity. I’ve learned a ton that will make me a better psychologist!" — William Stixrud, Ph.D., Clinical Neuropsychologist and co-author, The Self-Driven Child and What Do You Say?"Do you know what autism looks like in your neighbor, teacher, coworker, or aunt? An abundance of quotes and real life examples bring neurodiversity to life in this exceptional book that does not disappoint." — Theresa M. Regan, Ph.D., author of Understanding Autism in Adults and Aging Adults"Is This Autism? takes you on a personally guided tour into the hearts and souls of autistics. With the knowledge that Donna Henderson, Sarah Wayland, and Jamell White have harvested from decades of personal and professional work, they convey the many twists and turns of the developmental journey of autistics. One phrase stuck with me in particular: "A sense of belonging." This desire to be validated for who we are — no matter how we show up in the world — lies at the deepest core of every human’s longing. Henderson, Wayland, and White show us — with compassion and inclusivity — not only how to be informed about autistics, but how to be wise as well. With solid research, practical suggestions, and moving narratives from the experts who live the neurodivergent journey, we are invited to understand that only by knowing what is on the inside, can we — as professionals and family members — help on the outside. This book will become an essential guide for those of us committed to creating a world that adapts to and celebrates the unique experiences of autistics." — Rick Silver, M.D., Psychiatrist, Founder and Director, The THRIVE Center"This groundbreaking book will revolutionize the way we think about autism. Well researched and well organized, Drs. Henderson and Wayland have created a definitive text that specifies and widens the lens through which we understand autism.

Chelsea Green Publishing Co Holistic Cancer Medicine: Integrative Strategies
Book SynopsisA groundbreaking, comprehensive guide for managing, treating and preventing cancer. It’s a sad truth of our times that one in three people will experience cancer in their lifetime. By 2040, the probability will rise to one in two. Holistic Cancer Medicine is for cancer patients – from newly diagnosed to the late stage – as well as a comprehensive guide on how to reduce the risk of cancer in the first place. Dr Henning Saupe’s programme focusses on how those affected by cancer can carry out treatment to cure or control the disease while maintaining quality of life. As the founder and director of Germany’s leading complementary cancer clinic, Dr Saupe offers Holistic Cancer Medicine as the culmination of twenty-five years of experience treating the disease. Dr Saupe complements standard treatment models with less burdensome, less invasive and more natural methods. Dr Saupe identifies The Holistic Model of the Twelve Vital Fields, describing the dynamic interplay between, nutrition, circulation, the microbiome, mitochondrial health, acid-base balance, chronic infections and more. He shares innovative treatments that address specific imbalances in the twelve vital fields, as well as specific tumour-killing methods, such as insulin potentiation therapy (IPT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), local and whole-body hyperthermia and pulsating electromagnetic frequency therapy (PEMF). He also details inner-life training (ILT) and affirmations for both physical and emotional pain, as well as tools for palliative care. Holistic Cancer Medicine is not just for cancer patients, but relatives, friends and colleagues supporting loved ones through the stages of cancer. It is also for people seeking to prevent the disease. An essential read during a critical time of life, this is a groundbreaking book on cancer care with an essential and compassionate message – that a diagnosis of cancer and living a full, vibrant life are not mutually exclusive.Trade Review“Dr. Saupe’s comprehensive new book shows that there is so much a person can do to treat and prevent cancer in addition to conventional medicine. If you want to gain a thorough understanding of cancer cells and the immune system, I highly recommend Holistic Cancer Medicine.” —Kelly A. Turner, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of Radical Hope and Radical Remission“We need a new path forward in the realm of cancer; not only for the way we think about the formation of this devastating process but also in its treatment. Dr. Henning Saupe’s new book accomplishes both of those things by reworking the very foundation of cancer science, making this a ‘must read’ for anyone serious about understanding how cancer begins and what we can do about it.” —Dr. Chris Chlebowski, author of The Virus and The Host“Dr Saupe is one of the few medical professionals who truly understands the meaning of ‘holistic’ in the context of treating cancer. In Holistic Cancer Medicine, Dr. Saupe not only covers specific treatment strategies that can be key to recovery and healing, he also addresses the limitations of certain treatment and diagnostic approaches, and how to incorporate them effectively. Dr. Saupe tackles delicate and complex discussions in a highly approachable, humble, and practical way without being overwhelming or dogmatic, and the scientific rationale he offers will leave you in awe of both the simplicity and complexity of the human body—and what it truly means to heal and recover.” —Patricia Daly, coauthor of The Ketogenic Kitchen“As a clinical oncologist, I cannot over-emphasize the value of Holistic Cancer Medicine. In it, Dr. Henning Saupe covers authentic and scientifically proven holistic treatments for cancer, with profound potential to change how we view and respond to a cancer diagnosis. Determining root causes and changing mindsets with simple interventions and lifestyle modifications, holistic cancer treatment can be a game changer for our patients’ prognoses and quality of life, under the supervision of a trained holistic or integrative doctor. Let the healing begin!” —Dr. Wafaa Abdel-Hadi, clinical oncologist; founder, AWARE clinic“The integrative oncology community is a small and diverse mix of practitioners from all over the globe. Though we may differ on philosophy and approach, we align at the core: that there is much more to be done to support the patient dealing with a cancerous process than the standard of care alone can offer. I have traveled the world to observe and study with many practitioners—from standard-of-care, state-of-the-art hospitals to shamans in remote villages—and I always learn something new! No one person has all the answers. Just as there are unique fingerprints, there are unique perspectives and approaches to tend to the terrain of the individual. Having had the honor of visiting Dr. Saupe’s beautiful clinic, spending time with his patients, and presenting together at some international conferences, it is clear we resonate deeply in how we think about and care for the patient. Dr. Saupe’s personal and professional experience offer insights to invoke the curiosity and commitment of the patient into taking a more comprehensive look and approach to their cancer care process.” —Dr. Nasha Winters, founder and CEO, drnasha.com; coauthor of The Metabolic Approach to Cancer and Mistletoe and the Emerging Future of Integrative Oncology“Holistic Cancer Medicine is a fascinating and important book written by a highly knowledgeable doctor. Dr. Henning Saupe shares his experience and passion in this essential read. A must-read for anyone who wants to empower themselves.” —Sophie Trew, cofounder, Trew Fields Festival; cancer survivor and cancer coach“Holistic Cancer Medicine is a must-read for everyone—doctors, nurses, patients, family members, and anyone who wants to prevent cancer. Not only does the book inform you about the twelve vital fields involved in healing cancer; it also teaches you how to prevent cancer in the first place by creating balance and well-being in the body.” —Katie Deming, MD, radiation oncologist

Book SynopsisAutism presents in a multitude of different and highly nuanced ways - particularly as it intersects with variance in class, gender, race and age. Misunderstanding and misinformation around variant and differing presentations means that misdiagnosed individuals and those who do not receive a diagnosis at all are often failed by medical, education, social care and criminal justice systems. They are detained in inappropriate settings; don't receive beneficial therapeutic input; have their families accused of fabricated or induced illness (FII); are kept in prison or youth offending institutions longer than their original tariffs, and shockingly their life expectancy is often curtailed as a result. This comprehensive resource will help multidisciplinary professions to understand, contextualise, and better identify diverse autistic presentations. It includes an overview of the autism diagnostic process, an exploration of controversial and commonly confused diagnoses such as PDA, ODD, CD, ASPD, and BPD; discussions of best practice for investigating FII; and analysis of the specific challenges of autism diagnosis in relation to women and girls, BAME communities, schools, and the criminal justice system.Trade ReviewDr Eaton's wealth of knowledge and vast experience flows through this book which is full of excellent clinical insights and very valuable lessons learned along the way over her two decades of rich and varied clinical practice. Patients' compelling personal stories are weaved into the book, bringing the clinical information to life and providing priceless context. This book is essential to help any professional working with autistic people to avoid their being missed or misdiagnosed. -- Dr Gloria Dura-Vila, NHS and private Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist and author of The Amazing Autistic Brain Cards, the Panda on PDA, Me and my PDA and My Autism Book.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Diagnostic Genetic Testing: Core Concepts and the
Book SynopsisOver the last decade, technical advances have allowed genomic testing which provides a great opportunity for diagnosis but also an increased chance of uncertain or unexpected findings. This book addresses many of the questions that arise in this context and summarizes the essential concepts in diagnostic genetic testing in an easy-to-read manner. It also covers some broad context for the practical and ethical implications of examining human DNA sequences. The book starts with a general introduction to the field, providing enough background to allow readers without any previous education in genetics to comprehend the material in the subsequent chapters. The main part explores differing aspects of human genetics and the wider implications of testing in these areas. The author covers not only single gene inheritance, but also genetic testing of cancers and how testing benefits the patients. Special emphasis is also given to the questions of genetics and identity. The concluding part then draws the main themes together and summarises the wider significance of genetics. It also explores the gap between promises made for the impact of advances in genetics, and the actual benefits to patients. The book is written for everyone interested to learn about the process of genetic testing and the broader implications. Moreover, it is aimed at health professionals with an interest in genetics, at students or scientific trainees looking for an introduction to diagnostic genetics, and at professionals in health policy or health journalism.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Genetic testing, some themes and some basics· Brief introduction to genetic testing. · Themes o Complexity o Risk and uncertainty o DNA and identities o Future promises and limitations · Genetic basics o Information storage and copying o Chromosomes and inheritance patterns o Genes in genomes (nuclear and mitochondrial) o Transcription, translation and the genetic code o Mutation · Basic techniques of genetic testing o DNA extraction o Hybridisation o PCR and DNA amplification o Electrophoresis o DNA sequencing Chapter 2: Huntington disease, a severe autosomal recessive disorder · Huntington disease (HD) · Mutation mechanism and gain of function · Trinucleotide repeat expansions · Penetrance and genotype/phenotype correlation · Anticipation · Testing for HD and test metrics · Rationales for testing · Laboratory error · Ethical problems (sharing information) Chapter 3: Autosomal recessive inheritance and cystic fibrosis · Cystic fibrosis (CF) · Spectrum of mutations · Recessive disorders in populations (founder effect) · Testing for CF · Rationales for testing including neonatal screening · Prenatal diagnosis and ethical issues · Genetics and therapy for CF · Risk and uncertainty Chapter 4: X-linked inheritance: a question of gender · Chromosome number / balance (XX vs. XY) and X-inactivation · DNA methylation and epigenetics · DMD/BMD (genotype/phenotype correlation) · Mosaicism · Sharing genetic information · Androgen receptor gene and different phenotypes · Genetics and gender Chapter 5: Cancer genetics: acquired and inherited mutations · Cancer as a genetic disease · Tumour suppressors and oncogenes in the control of growth · Somatic/germline distinction · Genetic stratification and cancer treatment · Uncertainties and predictive testing · Future possibilities: liquid biopsy / ctDNA Chapter 6: Genes and identity · Forensic and laboratory identity testing · Uses of short tandem repeat markers in diagnostic genetics · DNA as a measure of identity · Relationships within and outside humanity · Problems with the concept of personal identity Chapter 7: Genome scale testing · Development of methods from chromosome analysis to next generation sequencing · Testing strategies (whole genome, whole exome, gene panels) · Utility of genome testing (many genes examined simultaneously, new causes identified, NIPD, cancer testing, de novo changes) · Assigning pathogenicity · Polygenic / multifactorial inheritance · Limitations and the ethics of inflated claims Chapter 8: DNA testing- pulling the strands together · Fundamentals of genetic testing and access to testing · Consent · Autonomy · Avoiding harm · Uncertainty, risk and biases · Benefits of genetics · The language of genetics (in the genetic code and in everyday language) Appendix: List of technical terms with page references to a definition in the text

Aeon Books Ltd Practical Iridology: Using the Eye as a Guide to
Book SynopsisHow to use the iris of the eye as a diagnostic medical tool The human iris provides a unique window into our bodies, offering clues to our past, present, and future health. Its related science—iridology—allows us to assess our wellbeing and provides pathways to follow to ensure we remain physically and emotionally fit. Iridologist and herbalist Peter Jackson-Main demonstrates just how easy it is for readers to make use of this diagnostic tool. With just a small flashlight and a mirror, you can begin to compare your eyes with the dozens shown in this book, learning about your constitution and how you can avoid potential health problems In this revised and expanded edition, Practical Iridology also explains what the colours and markings of your eyes reveal; details dietary and exercise routines for different iris types; provides a visual glossary of the different iris signs; and offers guidance in preparing remedies.Trade Review“Peter’s work on iridology is just the way I like it: commonsense, simple, and practical. After all, what good is any clinical tool if the end result is not the patient learning more about themselves, so they can adjust their lifestyle to get more quality and quantity out of life. Peter’s work helps the patient learn more about themselves, so they can fine-tune their lifestyle and make better choices, to get the most out of life.” Dr. Richard Schulze, ND, founder of Natural Healing Clinic and Dr. Schulze’s Herbal Products Company “Through his extensive experience, as both an iridology practitioner and a gifted teacher, Peter has skilfully reorganised the teachings of past masters into a contemporary framework. With thoughtful diagnostic questions and practical recommendations, he eloquently explains that once we grasp the true essence of the iris, it can serve as a profound insight into both the inner reality of a person and the external manifestation of bodily ailments. Practical Iridology represents a milestone in the field of iridology. Readers will undoubtedly find themselves captivated by the transformative potential of this ancient art and science.” Toni Miller, ND, DHM, MII, CCII, Fellow Ir, leading iridology teacher, researcher, lecturer, and author of The Integrated Iridology Textbook “Practical Iridology, revised and expanded, distils Peter Jackson-Main’s extensive clinical and teaching experience over forty-five years.
