Book Description
Te Regalo la Experiencia de mi Lucha, mi Fuerza y mi Fe entre la Realidad y los Sueños. En esta obra me he propuesto narrar mi experiencia vivida con el Cáncer y además proponer caminos que mitiguen su crueldad. Encontraras el dolor de un corazón y el grito de un alma herida por un diagnostico devastador. Una historia donde se enfrentan los sentimientos y se descubre que hay una vida por salvar: La nuestra. Donde se narra una experiencia llena de obstáculos y retos de los cuales nosotros los pacientes de cáncer pasamos, dejándonos una cicatriz que arde como un ligero recordatorio. No solamente donde comprendemos que no solo tenemos que luchar contra los siguientes tres monstros: el cáncer, sus desbastadoras terapias y sus efectos secundarios. Pero también enfrentarnos los enemigos de esta enfermedad que afectan: lo emocional, lo físico y lo social en nuestras vidas. Es un relato corporal al igual que espiritual al cual usted querido lector le podrá sacar beneficios. Encontraras un popurrí de las técnicas de la medicina convencional, la medicina alternativa, la fortaleza corporal, una fantasía encantadora y la fe necesaria para poder luchar contra esta enfermedad. Obtendrás conciencia de tus apegos, debilidades y logras liberarte de ellos. Conseguirás una visión positiva, un deseo de armarnos con una gran fuerza, determinación, fervor y tenacidad listos para luchar contra el cáncer. Un entendimiento que el cáncer en muchos casos se cura. Entre la realidad y los sueños podrás trazar unas nuevas metas en un futuro lleno de amor, ilusiones, aceptación y bendiciones..

The Yellow World
Author: Albert Espinosa
Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0345538110
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
A sensational memoir with all the emotional power of The Fault in Our Stars, The Yellow World is the story of cancer and survival that has moved and inspired readers around the world. My heroes don’t wear red capes. They wear red bands. Albert Espinosa never wanted to write a book about cancer—so he didn’t. Instead, he shares his most touching, funny, tragic, and happy memories in the hopes that others, healthy and sick alike, can draw the same strength and vitality from them. At thirteen, Espinosa was diagnosed with cancer, and he spent the next ten years in and out of hospitals, undergoing one daunting procedure after another, starting with the amputation of his left leg. After going on to lose a lung and half of his liver, he was finally declared cancer-free. Only then did he realize that the one thing sadder than dying is not knowing how to live. In this rich and rewarding book, Espinosa takes us into what he calls “the yellow world,” a place where fear loses its meaning; where strangers become, for a moment, your greatest allies; and where the lessons you learn will nourish you for the rest of your life. U.K. praise for The Yellow World “With its uplifting message and simple philosophy, [The Yellow World] has the makings of a spiritual classic.”—The Sunday Times “[An] energetic rush of a book . . . that shines with comedy and grace.”—The Independent “Heartwarming . . . the book everyone’s talking about.”—Mail on Sunday

Pages : 212
Book Description
In Lucha Corpis story, "Hollow Point at the Synapses," her unique narrator, a bullet, describes the instant before killing a young Peruvian woman: "I feel the pull of the hammer. The pressure mounts. I am now in place. The moment is upon me. Swiftly and efficiently, I will do what I must, what I was created for. In an instant, I am off, traveling at a speed reserved only for death." This groundbreaking anthology of short fiction by Latino mystery writers, Hit List: The Best of Latino Mystery, features an intriguing and unpredictable cast of sleuths, murderers and crime victims. Reflecting the authors and societys preoccupation with identity, self, and territory, the stories run the gamut of the mystery genre, from traditional to noir, from the private investigator to the police procedural, and even a "chick lit" mystery. "The Right Profile" features a Miami private investigator who goes undercover to prove a deadbeat father can pay child support, and she delights in testifying against him in court. In "The Skull of Pancho Villa," someone has stolen the family heirloom and its up to Gus Corral to get it back. And in "A New York Chicano," a successful bachelor from El Paso a graduate of NYU working for Merrill Lynch in Manhattan gets his revenge against a xenophobic newscaster. Hit List collects for the first time short fiction by many of the Latino authors who have been pioneers in the mystery genre, using it to showcase their unique cultures, neighborhoods and realities. Contributors include award-winning writers such as Carolina García-Aguilera, Alicia Gaspar de Alba, Rolando Hinojosa, Manuel Ramos and Sergio Troncoso, as well as emerging writers who deserve more recognition.

Genome Stability
Author: Igor Kovalchuk
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 0323856802
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 762
Book Description
Genome Stability: From Virus to Human Application, Second Edition, a volume in the Translational Epigenetics series, explores how various species maintain genome stability and genome diversification in response to environmental factors. Here, across thirty-eight chapters, leading researchers provide a deep analysis of genome stability in DNA/RNA viruses, prokaryotes, single cell eukaryotes, lower multicellular eukaryotes, and mammals, examining how epigenetic factors contribute to genome stability and how these species pass memories of encounters to progeny. Topics also include major DNA repair mechanisms, the role of chromatin in genome stability, human diseases associated with genome instability, and genome stability in response to aging. This second edition has been fully revised to address evolving research trends, including CRISPRs/Cas9 genome editing; conventional versus transgenic genome instability; breeding and genetic diseases associated with abnormal DNA repair; RNA and extrachromosomal DNA; cloning, stem cells, and embryo development; programmed genome instability; and conserved and divergent features of repair. This volume is an essential resource for geneticists, epigeneticists, and molecular biologists who are looking to gain a deeper understanding of this rapidly expanding field, and can also be of great use to advanced students who are looking to gain additional expertise in genome stability. - A deep analysis of genome stability research from various kingdoms, including epigenetics and transgenerational effects - Provides comprehensive coverage of mechanisms utilized by different organisms to maintain genomic stability - Contains applications of genome instability research and outcomes for human disease - Features all-new chapters on evolving areas of genome stability research, including CRISPRs/Cas9 genome editing, RNA and extrachromosomal DNA, programmed genome instability, and conserved and divergent features of repair

Contrast-Enhanced Mammography
Author: Marc Lobbes
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 303011063X
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
This book is a comprehensive guide to contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM), a novel advanced mammography technique using dual-energy mammography in combination with intravenous contrast administration in order to increase the diagnostic performance of digital mammography. Readers will find helpful information on the principles of CEM and indications for the technique. Detailed attention is devoted to image interpretation, with presentation of case examples and highlighting of pitfalls and artifacts. Other topics to be addressed include the establishment of a CEM program, the comparative merits of CEM and MRI, and the roles of CEM in screening populations and monitoring of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. CEM became commercially available in 2011 and is increasingly being used in clinical practice owing to its superiority over full-field digital mammography. This book will be an ideal source of knowledge and guidance for all who wish to start using the technique or to learn more about it.

Book Description
This is the original text of Nobel Prize Laureate Dr. Otto Warburg's classic, "The Metabolism of Tumours." In this book Dr. Warburg, MD, PhD, and distinguished scientists demonstrate, through empirical evidence that: “Cancer, above all other diseases, has countless secondary causes. But, even for cancer, there is only one prime cause. Summarized in a few words, the prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by fermentation of sugar.” All the experiments, in their original text, are included in this book.
