Cervical Laminoplasty
Author: K. Nakamura
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9784431703044
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
Cervical laminoplasty for the treatment of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament was developed and refined in Japan during the 1970s. Since that time, various cervical laminoplasty techniques have been further analyzed and modified, and have proven to be clinically successful. Until now cervical laminoplasty has been practiced primarily in Japan, and surgeons outside Japan had only limited access to the detailed English literature needed to make full use of the procedures. This book fills that gap in English information and provides a detailed, up-to-date guide to performing safe and effective cervical laminoplasty. Drawing on the latest knowledge from Japan, the book covers the history of cervical laminoplasty, surgical anatomy, basic procedures, modified procedures, possible complications, and perspectives on the future of expansive laminoplasty. This volume by leaders in the field is an excellent guide for all surgeons interested in laminoplasty.

Chronic Postsurgical Pain
Author: Gérard Mick
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3319043226
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 175
Book Description
Primum non nocere... The fact that a surgical procedure can leave any kind of pain casts a shadow over this tenet, which is seen as the basis of medical practice and anchor of its principle ethic... It is all the more surprising in that medicine has only paid attention to this paradoxical chronic pain situation for the past few years. Clarifying the knowledge acquired in this field has become all the more urgent for any care-giver today confronted by a legitimate request from patients: Why and how can a surgical procedure, which is supposed to bring relief, leave behind an unacceptable sequela? This is the approach which the contributors to this new subject of major clinical interest invite you to follow as you work your way through this book.

Bordering Fires
Author: Cristina Garcia
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307482405
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
As the descendants of Mexican immigrants have settled throughout the United States, a great literature has emerged, but its correspondances with the literature of Mexico have gone largely unobserved. In Bordering Fires, the first anthology to combine writing from both sides of the Mexican-U.S. border, Cristina Garc’a presents a richly diverse cross-cultural conversation. Beginning with Mexican masters such as Alfonso Reyes and Juan Rulfo, Garc’a highlights historic voices such as “the godfather of Chicano literature” Rudolfo Anaya, and Gloria Anzaldœa, who made a powerful case for language that reflects bicultural experience. From the fierce evocations of Chicano reality in Jimmy Santiago Baca’s Poem IX to the breathtaking images of identity in Coral Bracho’s poem “Fish of Fleeting Skin,” from the work of Carlos Fuentes to Sandra Cisneros, Ana Castillo to Octavio Paz, this landmark collection of fiction, essays, and poetry offers an exhilarating new vantage point on our continent–and on the best of contemporary literature. From the Trade Paperback edition.

The Tenderness of Jesus
Author: Rob Reimer
Publisher: Carpenter's Son Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
The world is a broken place marred by evil, and evil’s influence impacts us all. It is often difficult for people to grasp what God is like in a world such as ours. Jesus shows us the heart of God in a world of heartache. He is the most beautiful, compelling, tender person who has lived. Jesus is the radiance of God’s glory. He shines forth what God is like; He is a beacon of light that cuts through the darkness of evil and radiates the goodness of God. He is the exact representation of God the Father. If you want to know what God is like, look to Jesus. Don’t look through the lens of evil or the lenses of either the church or religion. Look to Jesus. That is why He came. The world is not an exact representation of God. The church is not an exact representation of God. Jesus is. He came to freshly present what the Father is like to those of us who are spiritually impaired by a world of suffering. The Tenderness of Jesus, in many ways, is my most personal book to date. I invite you to listen in as I write to my four young adult children about the tenderness of Jesus Christ. Come sit with us around the dinner table. May this fresh glimpse of Jesus heal your broken heart and reignite your spiritual fervor.

A New York Times Bestseller • A Read with Jenna Today Show Book Club Pick! Named a Best Book of the Year by The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post, People, Entertainment Weekly, USA Today, TIME, The A.V. Club, Buzzfeed, and PopSugar “I can’t believe how good this book is.... It’s wholly original. It’s also perfect.... Wilson writes with such a light touch.... The brilliance of the novel [is] that it distracts you with these weirdo characters and mesmerizing and funny sentences and then hits you in a way you didn’t see coming. You’re laughing so hard you don’t even realize that you’ve suddenly caught fire.” —Taffy Brodesser-Akner, author of Fleishman is in Trouble, New York Times Book Review From the New York Times bestselling author of The Family Fang, a moving and uproarious novel about a woman who finds meaning in her life when she begins caring for two children with a remarkable ability. Lillian and Madison were unlikely roommates and yet inseparable friends at their elite boarding school. But then Lillian had to leave the school unexpectedly in the wake of a scandal and they’ve barely spoken since. Until now, when Lillian gets a letter from Madison pleading for her help. Madison’s twin stepkids are moving in with her family and she wants Lillian to be their caretaker. However, there’s a catch: the twins spontaneously combust when they get agitated, flames igniting from their skin in a startling but beautiful way. Lillian is convinced Madison is pulling her leg, but it’s the truth. Thinking of her dead-end life at home, the life that has consistently disappointed her, Lillian figures she has nothing to lose. Over the course of one humid, demanding summer, Lillian and the twins learn to trust each other—and stay cool—while also staying out of the way of Madison’s buttoned-up politician husband. Surprised by her own ingenuity yet unused to the intense feelings of protectiveness she feels for them, Lillian ultimately begins to accept that she needs these strange children as much as they need her—urgently and fiercely. Couldn’t this be the start of the amazing life she’d always hoped for? With white-hot wit and a big, tender heart, Kevin Wilson has written his best book yet—a most unusual story of parental love.

All disease begins in the gut. —HIPPOCRATES, The Father of Medicine) ARE YOU ONE OF 45 MILLION AMERICANS SUFFERING WITH A TRIAD OF DIGESTIVE SYMPTOMS? • Abdominal pain/discomfort, • Abdominal bloating, distention/enlargement, flatulence, and/or noisy sounds, and • Bowel dysfunction (constipation, diarrhea, or both) DO YOU HAVE ONE OR MORE OF THE DIAGNOSES IN THE BOOK SUBTITLE? DO YOU ALSO SUFFER WITH OTHER SYMPTOMS? • Sleep disturbance • Chronic pain • Anxiety • Depression • Low energy/fatigue and/or • Brain fog The gut isn't like Las Vegas. What happens in the gut doesn't stay in the gut. —ALESSIO FASANO, renowned Harvard pediatric gastroenterologist DO YOU WANT TO BE HEALTHY? For those who consult with medical professionals, diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is usually made in the absence of “red flag” concerning features. Treatment is unsatisfactory, quality of life usually impaired, ability to function and work often compromised, and unnecessary health care utilization and costs result. IMPORTANTLY, INITIAL DIAGNOSIS OF IBS IS A MISTAKE, BECAUSE EFFECTIVE TREATMENT DEPENDS UPON ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS! IBS is a Disorder of Gut-Brain Interaction, which can be treated. The problem isn't "all in the head," a psychosomatic disorder, or directly caused by stress. However, there are 6 other common and specifically treatable causes that either mimic IBS or occur with it. These can be identified with blood, stool, and breath testing. Colonoscopy usually isn't necessary! THERE ARE THREE REALITIES MOST PEOPLE AND DOCTORS DON'T UNDERSTAND: • Impaired function or dysfunction of gut-brain interaction has a lot to do with the cause of chronic GI disorders. • The resident microbes (gut microbiome) are very important for both gut and whole health. • We’re all in an epidemic of chronic illness and disease. A root cause, operating at the microscopic cellular level, links them. BOTH PATIENTS AND MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS ARE FRUSTRATED AND DISSATISFIED. Integrative gastroenterologist WILLIAM B. SALT II, MD, takes you on a journey where you’ll learn how fire in the gut leads to fire in the body. He’ll show you how to put out the fire, heal, and discover whole health. You’re on Fire includes nearly 250 illustrations prepared by Dr Salt.
