Biopsychosocial Medicine: An Integrated Approach to Understanding Illness $98.5 To what extent do social factors such as stress cause physical diseases? How do physical and social factors contribute to the healing process? The biopsychosocial model is an approach to medicine which stresses the importance of a holistic approach. It considers factors outside the biological process of illness when trying to understand health and disease. In this approach, a person’s social context and psychological wellbeing are key factors in their illness and recovery, along with their thoughts, beliefs and emotions. Biopsychosocial Medicine examines the concept and the utility of this approach from its history to its application, and from its philosophical underpinnings to the barriers to its implementation. It is severely critical of the failure of modern medicine to treat the patient not the disease, and its neglect of psychological and social factors in the treatment of the ill. Focusing on chronic disabling ill health, this book takes the examples of arthritis, cancer, diabetes, lower back pain, irritable bowel syndrome and depression to show how the biopsychosocial model can be used in practice. It questions why, even when the biopsychosocial approach has been proved to be more effective than traditional methods in overcoming these disorders, is not more routinely used, and how barriers to its implementation can be overcome. Controversial and challenging, Biopsychosocial Medicine will be essential reading for all those who feel the biomedical model is failing them and their patients. It will enable readers to understand the model and how it can be implemented, in order to enhance their confidence and success as health professionals. |

Cellular Signaling in Health and Disease $159 In today’s world, three great classes of non-infectious diseases – the metabolic syndromes (such as type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis), the cancers, and the neurodegenerative disorders – have risen to the fore. These diseases, all associated with increasing age of an individual, have proven to be remarkably complex and difficult to treat. This is because, in large measure, when the cellular signaling pathways responsible for maintaining homeostasis and health of the body become dysregulated, they generate equally stable disease states. As a result the body may respond positively to a drug, but only for a while and then revert back to the disease state. Cellular Signaling in Health and Disease summarizes our current understanding of these regulatory networks in the healthy and diseased states, showing which molecular components might be prime targets for drug interventions. This is accomplished by presenting models that explain in mechanistic, molecular detail how a particular part of the cellular signaling web operates properly in health and improperly in disease.The stability of the health- and disease-associated states is dynamic and supported by multiple feedback loops acting positively and negatively along with linkages between pathways. During the past few years an ongoing series of important discoveries have been made that advance our understanding of how the body works and may guide us on how to better deal with these diseases. These include the discovery of chronic inflammation as a causal factor in all of these disease classes, the appearance of reactive oxygen species as a messenger molecule that can act both positively and negatively, the propensity of proteins to misfold into aggregation- and disease-prone forms, and the rise of epigenetics including the emergence of small non-coding RNA with important regulatory functions out of the so-called junk RNA. Chapters are devoted to each of these classes of findings with additional |

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy For Chronic $48.98 The treatment of physical health problems is increasingly supplemented by psychological therapy, particularly in connection with long term treatment and the management of chronic or intractable problems. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is now recognised as the most effective approach for a wide range of mental and physical disorders, e.g. the treatment of anxiety/depressive disorders, management of pain and treatment of the psychological problems associated with cancer. Although there are other books available on CBT for mental health problems and some which focus more generally on psychological management aspects of medical problems, this is the first to provide a general introduction to the methods and clincial application of CBT for the problems experienced by patients with chronic pain, cardiac disorders, surgical problems, diabetes, cancer and skin problems. This book outlines how cognitive behavioural assessment, formulation and intervention strategies can be tailored to chronic medical problems. Formulation diagrams and extracts from treatment sessions are included. Professional and service development issues are covered in separate chapters. Some helpful self report measures are included as Appendices. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Chronic Medical Problems is a concise and accessible clinical text. It assumes some basic knowledge and practical experience of CBT and enables the reader to understand and tailor their practice to the needs of physically ill patients. “Dr White has written an exceptional book. With a solid theoretical basis, this clearly written and useful book does an impressive job of instructing the reader in formulating cases at a macro and micro level and in using this formulation to plan therapy and select interventions for patients with various chronic medical problems. Even clinicians that primarily do not treat medical patients will benefit from studying this book.” Dr Judith S. Beck, |

Depression and Heart Disease $49.5 In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the multiple interrelationships between depression and various physical diseases. The WPA is providing an update of currently available evidence on these interrelationships by the publication of three books, dealing with the comorbidity of depression with diabetes, heart disease and cancer.Many patients with cardiovascular disease also experience psychiatric symptoms and distress. Patients with psychiatric problems, particularly depression, may be more susceptible to cardiovascular disorders. The presence of depression aggravates the course of the disease and is associated with reduced compliance to prescribed medications and secondary prevention measures. Cardiologists and psychiatrists therefore need an awareness of these problems and to know how to assess their effect in a given patient, how to treat one disorder in the context of another and how to manage the whole patient, not isolated symptoms.Depression and Heart Disease is the first book devoted to the interaction between these common disorders. World leaders in cardiology and psychiatry synthesize current evidence, including some previously unpublished data, in a concise, easy-to-read format. They succinctly describe the epidemiology, pathogenesis (including cytokines and genetics) and risk factors of the comorbidity between depression and heart disease. The book also reviews the best pharmacological and psychotherapeutic approaches for people with this comorbidity.Its practical approach makes the book ideal for all those involved in the management of these patients: psychiatrists, psychologists, cardiologists, general practitioners, cardiology specialist nurses and mental health nurses. |

Every Person’s Guide To Antioxidants $18.95 "Smythies takes an extremely detailed and comprehensive look at the current scientific knowledge of the role of antioxidants in human health. A book for the educated layperson that's well balanced and free of the hype that often accompanies the topic of antioxidants!" –Balz Frei, editor of Natural Antioxidants in Human Health and Disease"Smythies clearly explains the basic science of antioxidants and then describes the actual studies supporting the importance of these nutrients to health promotion and disease prevention, providing a strong foundation for his practical advice about diet and supplements. It's a rare treat to see full citations provided for follow-up by the interested reader." –Jeffrey B. Blumberg, Chief, Antioxidants Research Laboratory, Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutritional Research Center on Aging, Tufts UniversityWhat are antioxidants? What do they do? Should you be taking them? How much is enough, or too much? Dr. John Smythies explores these and other questions you need to have answered about antioxidants in Every Person's Guide to Antioxidants. Oxidants are naturally occuring chemicals in our bodies that derive from oxygen to facilitate essential biochemical processes. However, most oxidants are potentially toxic molecules and the body contains a number of antioxidants for protection against these toxic effects. Overproduction of oxidants, or underproduction of antioxidants, leads to oxidative stress, which has been linked to a wide range of chronic diseases, including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's. Smythies thoroughly evaluates current scientific work on this subject and suggests that a high proportion of many of these diseases can be prevented, or their onset delayed, by proper intake of antioxidants. He examines the pros and cons of the debate over how this necessary intake should be achieved, by eating more fruits and vegetables or by taking supplements in pill form. Smythies |

Fatty Liver Disease Nash $209.95 Fatty liver disease, especially non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), is emerging as the most common form of liver disease – affecting at least 5% of the population of western countries with increasing incidence in developing economies in other continents (particularly Asia, South America and South Africa). NASH is the form of fatty liver disorder which can result in cirrhosis, particularly in those with diabetes or who are overweight, yet it is still not widely recognised despite its already high and increasing prevalence worldwide. This book explains what NASH is, why it happens, who gets it, how it can result in cirrhosis, when to think about it, how to select practical management between those with a minor abnormality from those who may have cirrhosis, and how to prevent and treat this ubiquitous condition.Fatty Liver Diseases: NASH and Related Disorders is an unusual book: it combines a practical approach for students and physicians concerned with the problem with a clear overview on the causative mechanisms. It should appeal to doctors and other health care workers who encounter this problem, as well as to pathologists and investigators interested in the field of liver disease. |

Food Combining for Health: Get Fit with Foods That Don’t Fight $0.99 Over 50 years ago, Dr. William Hay concluded that the body uses acids to digest proteins and alkalis to digest starches, and that mixing the two might lead to painful indigestion and more serious problems such as ulcers, allergies, and obesity. Though criticized at the time, the Hay System has been vindicated by modern research, and provides essentially the healthy, whole-food diet of mostly alkali-forming foods such as fruits, green vegetables, and salads advocated by many leading nutritionists today. Food Combining for Health shows how to separate incompatible foods.Explains how the Hay System can alleviate the symptoms of chronic diseases such as arthritis and diabetes, while increasing energy and well-being in those without specific health problems. Includes recipes and seasonal menu suggestions.Author of Your Daily Food, Doris Grant followed the Hay System for over 50 years following success in using it to treat her rheumatoid arthritis. Jean Joice has also been a proponent of the Hay System for many years. |

Food Wars: The Global Battle for Mouths, Minds and Markets $1.99 The growth of a single global market is having far-reaching and profound effects on what we eat, with corresponding implications for public health. This is the first full examination, by two of the world’s leading food policy experts, of these developments.From nutrition to antibiotics, from heart disease to food poisoning, what matters now is not just what we eat, but how it has been produced, distributed and processed. A new, global politics of food and health is emerging. In the North the linkages of trade, food and health have been apparent in the reactions to BSE in beef and GM crops. In many developing countries endemic problems of a ‘Western’ diet have been imported, so that coronary disease, food-related cancers, obesity and diabetes are found alongside food shortages. The policy responses continue to be contradictory, with health ministries trying to stem the rise of food-related disease, while trade ministers commit their food and agriculture industries to the policies that cause the problems. The authors show how public health cannot be regarded as a barrier to ‘free’ trade, under agreements that allow powerful corporations and rich consumers to treat the world as their larder. Giving it the importance it demands will require a new, ecological and population-based conception of public health. There are many signs that this is emerging as one of the main political agendas of the new century. The book will be essential and stimulating reading for everyone professionally or academically involved — or merely concerned — with health policy, agricultural and food policy and globalization issues. |

Geriatric Bioscience: The Link between Aging and Disease $47 It is increasingly important for physicians who treat older persons, and for researchers on aging, to understand how molecular biology informs clinical expressions of aging and age-related conditions such as osteoporosis, diabetes, osteoarthritis, frailty, cancer, and dementia. Dr. David Hamerman translates basic scientific concepts into precepts of clinical practice and sheds light on the links among biology, natural aging, longevity, and disease.Exploring the connections between disease and the science behind it, Geriatric Bioscience addresses how mechanisms of inflammation, cytokine expression, and stress responses influence disease and how preventive gerontology in the practice of medicine could compress morbidity. Hamerman also discusses cutting-edge therapies such as cyclo-oxygenases, bisphosphonates, statins, cytokine inhibitors, and hormone therapies.Examining the science of geriatrics and converting its concepts into clinical applications, this groundbreaking work provides clinicians and researchers with a solid foundation for a greater understanding of the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of age-related diseases as well as recommendations for promoting healthy aging. |

Inside Chronic Pain: An Intimate and Critical Account $9.95 With Lous Heshusius as a guide, pain patients can learn much about the perils of a modern health-care odyssey. Health professionals can learn how an articulate middle-class female white patient thinks (with all that thinking entails) when her world is irreversibly altered by pain. She does not promise happy endings. Chronic pain is like that. From the rare intersection in this text between patient narrative and physician response, however, readers may construct a dialogue on pain in our time that cannot fail to bring plentiful opportunities for personal insight and professional enlightenment.-from the Foreword by David B. MorrisChronic pain, which affects 70 million people in the United States alone-more than diabetes, cancer, and heart disease combined-is a major public health issue that remains poorly understood both within the health care system and by those closest to the people it afflicts. This book examines the experience of pain in ways that could significantly improve how patients and practitioners deal with pain. It is the first volume of a new collection of titles within the acclaimed Culture and Politics of Health Care Work series called How Patients Think, intended to give voice to the concerns of patients about their own medical care and the formulation of health policy.Since surviving a near-fatal car accident, Lous Heshusius has suffered from chronic pain for more than a decade, forcing her to give up her career as a professor of education. Inside Chronic Pain, based in part on the pain journal Heshusius keeps, is a stunning memoir of a life lived in constant pain as well as an insightful and often critical account of the inadequacies of the health care system-from physicians to hospitals and health insurance companies-to understand chronic pain and treat those who suffer from it. Through her own frequently frustrating experiences, she shows how health care providers often ignore, deny, or incorrectly treat chronic pain at immense cost to |

Making Chocolate 101 $1.99 If you love chocolate then you can’t miss this opportunity to…Discover How to Make Homemade Chocolate!Dear Friend,Do you love gourmet chocolate?Most people do! Fine chocolates are one of life’s greatest pleasures. Kings and princes have for centuries coveted chocolate. Did you know that chocolate used to be one of the expensive items in the world, almost as precious as gold? It’s true! Chocolate makers who mastered their craft went on to become very wealthy and famous, establishing some of the world’s most well known companies. People today still love chocolate. It is a part of many people’s daily life and also can be a wonderful treat and reward. Life without chocolate would truly be a sad and empty life.For some people though eating chocolate is fraught with hazards. If you’re watching your weight then one of the first things that experts tell you to do is cut out rich chocolate that is loaded with sugar and calories. Do you have special dietary restrictions that make it difficult for you to find chocolate that you can eat?For many people that suffer from conditions like diabetes limiting the amount of sugar that they eat it is necessary in order to be healthy. Diabetes is a very serious disease and controlling the amount of sugar that you eat if you’re diabetic is a very serious matter. It can be hard to find tasty chocolate treats that aren’t packed with sugar and are allowed on a diabetic diet. Or maybe you or someone in your family is a vegetarian or vegan so eating commercial chocolate made with dairy products is off limits.Other people have allergies to common ingredients that are found in chocolate like nuts and can’t eat commercially produced chocolate because it might trigger their allergies.

Methodological challenges in the evaluation of new tuberculosis treatment regimens. $49.99 Tuberculosis (TB) is the second-leading cause of death by infection. Novel treatment strategies are critically needed to shorten the duration of TB therapy and treat drug-resistant TB. However, several issues hamper the evaluation of new TB regimens and, thus, the TB drug development effort. First, clinical trials evaluating treatment success without relapse are necessarily lengthy, complex, and expensive. Appropriate trial design, trial sequencing, and dosing decisions are not straightforward and depend on the proposed role of the experimental drug or drugs in a multi-drug TB regimen. Second, there are few trial-level surrogate markers of TB treatment success; those in current use have important limitations. Third, statistical methodologies commonly employed in TB trials are not maximally efficient or informative. This thesis presents original research in the field of TB with a specific focus on the evaluation of new TB therapeutics. First, a phase I clinical trial of two new TB drugs in healthy volunteers is presented to demonstrate how pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) data can be used to inform and guide subsequent clinical trial design and dosing choices. Second, a longitudinal cohort study nested in a Phase II TB treatment trial is described. In this study, a new diagnostic test that may serve as a surrogate marker for TB treatment success without relapse is evaluated. The third study is a retrospective cohort study evaluating differences in TB treatment outcomes between patients with and without diabetes mellitus. The study illustrates the use of two different statistical techniques to evaluate sputum culture conversion, a common surrogate for relapse. In summary, this thesis presents one clinical trial, one longitudinal cohort study nested in a clinical trial, and a retrospective cohort study, which have been published or submitted for publication. These studies address methodological challenges related to the evaluation of new TB therapeutics, |

Restructuring Chronic Illness $61.13 Consider the facts. Healthcare providers spend more than three-quarters of each dollar on the care of chronically ill patients. Close to half the population suffers from some form of chronic illness, and with the graying of America this number will skyrocket.If healthcare organizations are to remain competitive, they must provide chronically ill patients quality care that is cost-effective.Restructuring Chronic Illness Management offers the most current information on how leaders of top clinical programs have implemented exemplary and cost-conscious programs to manage the care of such common chronic diseases as asthma, arthritis, diabetes, hypertension, and coronary artery disease. In this essential resource, the authors—experts from the nationally recognized Institute for Research and Education of HealthSystem Minnesota—outline a step-by-step program for healthcare executives and administrators who want to implement these best practices in their institutions.Grounded in research, the book introduces a model and practical tool that can be used by healthcare organizations to effectively treat chronically ill patients.

Stem Cell Research: Issues and Bibliography $19.95 Embryonic stem cells have the ability to develop into virtually any cell in the body, and may have the potential to treat medical conditions such as diabetes and Parkinson’s disease. In August 2001, President Bush announced that for the first time federal funds would be used to support research on human embryonic stem cells, but funding would be limited to “existing stem cell lines.” The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has established the Human Embryonic Stem Cell Registry which lists stem cell lines that are eligible for use in federally funded research. Although 78 cell lines are listed, 21 embryonic stem cell lines are currently available. Scientists are concerned about the quality, longevity, and availability of the eligible stem cell lines. For a variety of reasons, many believe research advancement requires new embryonic stem cell lines, and for certain applications, stem cells derived from cloned embryos may offer the best hope for progress in understanding and treating disease. A significant cohort of pro-life advocates support stem cell research; those opposed are concerned that the isolation of stem cells requires the destruction of embryos. Letters from Congress, one signed by 206 Members of the House and a second signed by 58 Senators, have been sent urging President Bush to expand the current federal policy concerning embryonic stem cell research. Some have argued that stem cell research be limited to adult stem cells obtained from tissues such as bone marrow. They argue that adult stem cells should be pursued instead of embryonic stem cells because they believe the derivation of stem cells from either embryos or aborted fetuses is ethically unacceptable. Otherscientists believe adult stem cells should not be the sole target of research because of important scientific and technical limitations. Groups make ethical distinctions in the debate on how to proceed with stem cell research based upon embryo protection, relief of suffering, viability, the |
