Category : Cardiology
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the United States-and the world. Every 40 seconds, one American dies from cardiovascular disease, which claims more lives than all forms of cancer combined. Yet, most of us are only vaguely familiar with the amazing organ inside our chests that sends 2,000 gallons of blood throughout our bodies every single day. Dr. Aarush Manchanda has been in the trenches battling heart disease for 12 years. His philosophy of cardiology practice is rooted in his belief that patients aren't just a set of symptoms in a study-and caring for them involves more than following one-size-fits-all instructions. Using his Artisan's Approach(TM), he's developed a new language, his Heart House analogy, for communicating with patients about heart health and empowering them to be involved in their own care. In this book, you'll discover... The difference between a heart attack and cardiac arrest How plaque can erupt-like a volcano-in your heart The six parts of your heart house Causes, diagnoses, and treatment of heart issues Lifestyle tips for a healthy heart and more "Your Heart House: An Artisan's Approach(TM) to Understanding Heart Health"

Virtual You
Author: Peter Coveney
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691223408
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
The visionary science behind the digital human twins that will enhance our health and our future Virtual You is a panoramic account of efforts by scientists around the world to build digital twins of human beings, from cells and tissues to organs and whole bodies. These virtual copies will usher in a new era of personalized medicine, one in which your digital twin can help predict your risk of disease, participate in virtual drug trials, shed light on the diet and lifestyle changes that are best for you, and help identify therapies to enhance your well-being and extend your lifespan—but thorny challenges remain. In this deeply illuminating book, Peter Coveney and Roger Highfield reveal what it will take to build a virtual, functional copy of a person in five steps. Along the way, they take you on a fantastic voyage through the complexity of the human body, describing the latest scientific and technological advances—from multiscale modeling to extraordinary new forms of computing—that will make “virtual you” a reality, while also considering the ethical questions inherent to realizing truly predictive medicine. With an incisive foreword by Nobel Prize–winning biologist Venki Ramakrishnan, Virtual You is science at its most astounding, showing how our virtual twins and even whole populations of virtual humans promise to transform our health and our lives in the coming decades.

We all thought we were safe. Until the war spilled over into Western Europe, swamping the streets with violence and chaos. London has become the target for her enemies, seeking hostages and retribution. The military is thousands of miles away, fighting in wars we have long ceased caring about. There is nowhere to turn, no way of fighting back, and no one to help. Conceived in the Ghost Room, and forged in the deserts of Utah, the solution is violent and controversial. For killing has consequences. But what option do you have when there are no options? But then, how do you control something you have designed to be unstoppable?

Book Description
For Annalise Marony, taking her vows as a Handmaiden isn’t a matter of faith –it’s a matter of the heart. Betrothed to her childhood companion Jacquin, Annalise finds herself facing a lifetime of marriage to a man she loves – but who can never be a true husband to her. Determined that neither of them shall face that fate, Annalise concocts a plan. She will enter the Order of Solace just long enough for their previous arrangement to be sundered, giving them both the out they desire. What Annalise does not expect is to find something more important to her than escape in her lessons of service at the Order. Cassian Toquin is a man of secrets, a carrier of lies. As Annalise’s teacher in the Order, he also becomes her formidable foe…and, perhaps, the only man to fulfill her destiny. When love and faith collide, there can be only one path to absolute solace – if only Annalise and Cassian can bring themselves to walk it.

Discovering Precision Health
Author: Lloyd Minor
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119672686
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
Today we are on the brink of a much-needed transformative moment for health care. The U.S. health care system is designed to be reactive instead of preventive. The result is diagnoses that are too late and outcomes that are far worse than our level of spending should deliver. In recent years, U.S. life expectancy has been declining. Fundamental to realizing better health, and a more effective health care system, is advancing the disruptive thinking that has spawned innovation in Silicon Valley and throughout the world. That's exactly what Stanford Medicine has done by proposing a new vision for health and health care. In Discovering Precision Health, Lloyd Minor and Matthew Rees describe a holistic approach that will set health care on the right track: keep people healthy by preventing disease before it starts and personalize the treatment of individuals precisely, based on their specific profile. With descriptions of the pioneering work undertaken at Stanford Medicine, complemented by fascinating case studies of innovations from entities including the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub, GRAIL, and Impossible Foods, Minor and Rees present a dynamic vision for the future of individual health and health care. Youll see how tools from smartphone technology to genome sequencing to routine blood tests are helping avert illness and promote health. And you'll learn about the promising progress already underway in bringing greater precision to the process of predicting, preventing, and treating a range of conditions, including allergies, mental illness, preterm birth, cancer, stroke, and autism. The book highlights how biomedical advances are dramatically improving our ability to treat and cure complex diseases, while emphasizing the need to devote more attention to social, behavioral, and environmental factors that are often the primary determinants of health. The authors explore thought-provoking topics including: The unlikely role of Google Glass in treating autism How gene editing can advance precision in treating disease What medicine can learn from aviation liHow digital tools can contribute to health and innovation Discovering Precision Health showcases entirely new ways of thinking about health and health care and can help empower us to lead healthier lives.

Book Description
The basic teachings of Buddhism as they relate to everyday life—presented by the esteemed Tibetan meditation master In The Heart of the Buddha, Chögyam Trungpa examines the basic teachings of Buddhism and places them within the context of daily life. Divided into three parts, the book begins with a discussion about the open, inquisitive, and good-humored qualities of the “heart of the Buddha”—an “enlightened gene” that everyone possesses. Next, Chögyam Trungpa moves to the stages of the Buddhist path, presenting the three vehicles—Hinayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana—that carry the Buddhist practitioner toward enlightenment. Finally, he describes the direct application of Buddhist teachings to topics as varied as relationships, drinking, children, and money. The Heart of the Buddha reflects Trungpa’s great appreciation for Western culture and deep understanding of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, which enabled him to teach Westerners in an effective, contemporary way.

The Lens Within the Heart

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 526
Book Description
Presenting a revised edition with a new preface of this important work, previously available only in hardback. It has long been assumed that Japan's closed country policy meant that Japan was isolated from the influence of the outside, and in particular the Western, world. However, this study of 18th century Japan, using sources wholly unstudied since their writing, reveals the profound influence that the introduction of Western technology and scientific instruments including glass, lenses and mirrors had on Japanese notions of sight, and how this change in perception was reflected most clearly in popular culture. Screech goes to the core of later eighteenth century thought through popular objects and the propositions which many considered groundbreaking on the book's first publication in 1996 have yet to be substantially challenged.
