Coping with Alzheimer's is filled with sympathetic and constructive suggestions for dealing with the emotional devastation this disease can cause caregivers.

Understanding Alzheimer's offers similar emotional help as well as practical support ideas and state-of-the-art information on diagnosis, treatment, and management.

Random House Inc, 1995 Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine, bright pages. Price inside dustcover: $25.00. NO writing, marks or tears. 413 pages. Illustrated. Synopsis At least five scientists have been proclaimed "the father of the Pill." We learn here that the credit for its conception belongs to two women who "stand by themselves as the indisputable mothers of the Pill." One of them, Margaret Sanger, was already famous - to many, notorious. The other, Katharine McCormick, didn't even rate an obituary in the nation's leading newspapers. Here is a spellbinding tale of visions and blindness, testing and trials, setbacks and triumphs; of quirky scientists who turned to deciphering nature, and drug companies who turned away. It takes us into the hushed halls of the Vatican, where celibates gingerly stepped around the Pill, pondering what it was, how it worked, and what it meant - until they came to the verge of approving it; and from there to the raucous explosion in college dorms of "sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll" - and some surprising conclusions about the supposed causes of the sexual revolution. Annotation With as many twists and turns as a thriller, this biography of the birth control pill tells the story of the committed people--Margaret Sanger, Katharine McCormick, and Dr. Gregory Pincus, among others--who pioneered the its development, as well as the two scientists who defied the law to advance its research..

Simon & Schuster, 1995 Near-fine condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $22.00. Dustcover shows light wear (NO tears). Tight spine, bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Synopsis Two and a half million Americans - fifty-five million people worldwide - stutter. Though their baffling malady has been subjected to endless analysis for over 2,500 years, most endure it without hope of a cure. The very anticipation of stuttering can dominate a victim's social and emotional life. If the majority suffer in anonymity, famous figures down through the ages - Moses, Charles I, Lewis Carroll, Henry James, W. Somerset Maugham, Winston Churchill, and Marilyn Monroe among them - have also known the isolation and trauma of living with knotted tongues. Indeed, Charles Dickens once aptly described stuttering as "a barrier by which the sufferer feels that the world without is separated from the world within." In this fascinating and original social history, which combines literary scholarship with historical research, Benson Bobrick explores one of the great conundrums of medical history, its impact on the lives of the afflicted, and the astonishing therapeutic practices it has spawned. Demosthenes was obliged to labor up steep inclines with lead plates strapped to his chest and to declaim over the roar of the ocean with pebbles in his mouth; one 16th-century Italian physician prescribed nosedrops combining beetroot and coriander to help "dehumidify" the brain; and a Native American tribe had stutterers spit through a hole in a board "to get the devil out of their throats." At one time or another, stuttering has been popularly traced to childhood trauma; sibling rivalry; suppressed anger; infantile sexual fixations; deformations of the tongue, lips, or jaw; chemical imbalance; strict upbringing; vicious habit; guilt; approach-avoidance conflicts; and so on, and has been treated by hypnosis, drugs, conditioning, electric shock, and of course, psychoanalysis. Mounting clinical evidence today, however, indicates that stuttering is a neurological problem, possibly involving anomalies of sound transmission through the skull. Genetic research suggests a familial Publishers Weekly A former stutterer, Bobrick (Labyrinths of Iron) here offers his perspective on the condition as well as an interesting history of how physicians have treated it. Stuttering, or stammering (the terms are interchangeable clinically), occurs four times more frequently in males and ranges from mild hesitation in speech to severe disability. Hot irons were applied to stutterers' lips in the Middle Ages, and in the mid-19th century, risky tongue operations were performed in failed attempts to effect a cure. Bobrick discusses famous stutterers-Charles Darwin, Henry James, Winston Churchill, Jimmy Stewart-and describes the adverse impact of their condition on their lives. In this century, psychological trauma has often been cited as the cause of stuttering, but recent evidence points to a genetic disorder involving a disturbed auditory function. Therapeutic practices differ, but the author credits a voice feedback system with bringing his condition under control.. Hard Cover. Near-Fine/Near-Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. more information

Santa Ana, CA, U.S.A.: Seven Locks Press, 2001 When the production, distribution, and use of marijuana for medical purposes became legal in California the response of the government and law enforcement community was not one of cooperation. Instead there has been an attitude of resistance and noncompliance. Alan Bock has been following this confrontation between two equally passionate groups. One group believes the use of marijuana for medical reasons is not only harmless but humane; the other is a government convinced that medical marijuana is a clever ruse devised by evil drug lords..

Tight spine - Bright pages. 320 pages. - NO writing, marks or tears inside book - From The Critics Publishers Weekly Starting with the 1989 rape and grisly muder of a young, pregnant Bellevue Hospital doctor, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for the Wall Street Journal Bogdanich dramatizes the crime and appalling conditions in our hospitals during the 1980s. Reporting that scandal-ridden managements systematically concealed incidents of professional malpractice and accidents in unavailable or falsified records and mortality-rate reports, the author also charges corrupt physicians with favoring profit-making procedures for an increasingly sick, poor, aging and uninsured population. While praising the legions of dedicated and overworked hospital staff members across the country, Bogdanich decries bloated, diagnostic-based Medicare rates and the lack of a comprehensive national health care policy. He asserts that the federal Medicare program ``could reform hospitals virtually overnight'' if it would emulate local corporate groups that supervise quality of care and efficiency of client hospitals. (Nov.) Library Journal Hospitals, argues award-winning Wall Street Journal reporter Bogdanich, are accountable only to themselves. He claims that they ignore the life-and-death consequences of their actions, exploiting patients, manipulating government, and colluding with doctors. Bogdanich stitches together the details of 16 true stories of hospital malpractice and malfeasance, offering them as accepted (if not standard) behavior rather than as exceptions to the rule. He relates how hospitals provide kickbacks to doctors who refer patients to them; he describes how they record false diagnoses in order to defraud the medicare system; he details how hospital pharmacies dispense wrong medications, endangering the lives of patients; and he tells how nursing agencies send unqualified and low-paid nurses to understaffed hospitals. Whether the hospitals have a systemic disease--as the author insists--or are just suffering symptoms of overwork, this is a searing indictment of our most important healthcare institution.-- Jack Forman, Mesa Coll. Lib., San Diego Kirkus Reviews Hospital care is a crapshoot for most Americans, according to Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Bogdanich of The Wall Street Journal, who says here that the myth that all hospitals are equally good and deserving of our trust is medicine's "great white lie." Bogdanich pulls no punches, naming hospitals, administrators, professional associations, doctors, nurses, technicians, and others in his thoroughly documented expos‚. The problems are manifold—reliance on unqualified temporary help; improper training and supervision of pharmacy and lab technicians; life-threatening patient-discharge policies; and fraudulent billing practices. Competition among hospitals has even pushed some to bribe doctors for patients and to offer bonuses for meeting surgery quotas. Bogdanich cites the failure of the medical establishment to regulate hospitals, and faults the government for relying on such self-regulation. The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, which rarely denies a hospital accreditation, comes in for some sharp criticism, as does the US Department of Health and Human Services, which Bogdanich asserts has recently been headed by people without will or vision. Although Medicare—the nation's largest buyer of hospital services—could dramatically reform care by reimbursing only those hospitals able to demonstrate high quality, prospects for change are poor. One solution Bogdanich explores is an effort by corporations in Cleveland, concerned about rising medical-insurance costs, to direct employees to the highest-quality, low-cost hospitals. In this instance, hospitals and businesses are working together to define and measure quality and by 1992will be distributing information on quality and costs to employees. Meanwhile, Bogdanich counsels, if there's hospital care in your future, scrutinize it as carefully as you would any other prospective purchase. Hard-hitting and fact-filled indictment of a system overdue for reform. (Includes extensive source notes.) . Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. more information

Synopsis Transplant Infections is designed to be a practical reference covering the common and more unusual infections following bone marrow/stem cell and solid organ transplant. It provides a comprehensive review of epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of opportunistic infections and focuses on the clinical concerns of the practitioner. Annotation Daniel C. Brennan This monograph is structured according to infectious agent rather than to bone marrow or specific organ transplant. This provides a comparison and contrast between the two types of transplantation that I found to be extremely helpful and complementary. The purpose is to offer a comprehensive review of epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of opportunistic infections in bone marrow or solid organ transplant patients. This book is written for the medical community at large, not only for transplant physicians and surgeons but for primary care physicians as well. The treatment of viral disease in transplantation is particularly comprehensive and up-to-date. The unique feature is the dedication to transplantation that provides solid recommendations for dose and duration of treatment. This differentiates it from other texts that have treated infections disease in all immunocompromised hosts, including HIV patients, and made it more difficult to obtain specific recommendations for organ transplant recipients who have infections. The specificity of the recommendations make it quite useful for those who are not infectious disease specialists or do not primarily treat transplant recipients. The discussion of the basic bacteriology or virology of each infectious agent is somewhat limited. However, I find this is not a primary shortcoming; in fact, it allows for a more practical focus. If there were any shortcomings, perhaps the discussion of atypical mycobacteria and fungal infections is a bit limited for my own desires given my perception of the increasing incidence of these types of infections in transplant recipients under current immunosuppressive regimens. This is a very useful andreadable treatment of infectious disease in bone marrow and solid organ transplant recipients. I was able to read it cover-to-cover and I found much practical information and very little duplication. I strongly recommend it for anyone who treats or follows bone marrow or solid organ transplant recipients.
