Male Reproductive Cancers

Male Reproductive Cancers ebook Description :

Knowledge about cancer genetics is rapidly expanding, and has implications for all aspects of cancer research and treatment, including molecular causation, diagnosis, prevention, screening, and treatment.



Additionally, while cancer genetics has traditionally focused on mutational events that have their primary effect within the cancer cell, recently the focus has widened, with evidence of the importance of epigenetic events and of cellular interactions in cancer development. The role of common genetic variation in determining the range of individual susceptibility within the population is increasingly recognized, and is now being widely addressed using information from the Human Genome Project. These new research directions will highlight determinants of cancer that lie outside the cancer cell, suggest new targets for intervention, and inform the design of strategies for prevention in groups at increased risk.

Today, the NCI is putting more and more money into research into the genetics of cancer. The very first of the NCI’s stated research priorities is a project called The Cancer Genome Atlas. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) is a comprehensive and coordinated effort to accelerate the understanding of the molecular basis of cancer through the application of genome analysis technologies, including large-scale genome sequencing. The NCI and the NHGRI (National Human Genome Research Institute, where the series editor is employed) have each committed $50 million over three years to the TCGA Pilot Project.



This book proposes cover the latest findings in the genetics of male reproductive cancers; specifically cancers of the prostate and testes. The volume will cover the epidemiology of these cancers; model systems, pathology, molecular genetics, and inherited susceptibility.

The Chicken Health Handbook

The Chicken Health Handbook ebook Description :

The editor of Rural Heritage has written a first-rate guide for the small producer interested in healthful meat and eggs as well as the exotic breed fancier raising birds for show.

Having published a number of general guides to backyard poultry, including one for children, Damerow here concentrates on everything that can go wrong: diseases; problems associated with keeping birds in close quarters or caging them; litter; cannibalism; vitamin deficiency, resulting in poor molting; incubators that are too hot or too cold; predators; and the invasions of rats. She stresses that the best preventative measures involve protecting one's flock against outside influences (such as wild birds or other chickens), careful culling, and balanced nutrition. Damerow is a good writer, carefully walking the line between insulting the reader's intelligence, a flaw with many books of this sort, and giving more technical information than growers need. Her discussion of how one keeps straight which chick came from which mating--which involves the injection of food dyes into fertilized eggs, and carefully marking the webbings of feet--is downright ingenious.

Emergency : This Book Will Save Your Life

Emergency : This Book Will Save Your Life ebook Description :

Terrorist attacks. Natural disasters. Domestic crackdowns. Economic collapse. Riots. Wars. Disease. Starvation. What can you do when it all hits the fan? You can learn to be self-sufficient and survive without the system. **I've started to look at the world through apocalypse eyes.** So begins Neil Strauss's harrowing new book: his first full-length worksince the international bestseller The Game, and one of the most original-and provocative-narratives of the year. After the last few years of violence and terror, of ethnic and religious hatred, of tsunamis and hurricanes–and now of world financial meltdown–Strauss, like most of his generation, came to the sobering realization that, even in America, anything can happen. But rather than watch helplessly, he decided to do something about it. And so he spent three years traveling through a country that's lost its sense of safety, equipping himself with the tools necessary to save himself and his loved ones from an uncertain future.

With the same quick wit and eye for cultural trends that marked The Game, The Dirt, and How to Make Love Like a Porn Star, Emergency traces Neil's white-knuckled journey through today's heart of darkness, as he sets out to move his life offshore, test his skills in the wild, and remake himself as a gun-toting, plane-flying, government-defying survivor. It\'s a tale of paranoid fantasies and crippling doubts, of shady lawyers and dangerous cult leaders, of billionaire gun nuts and survivalist superheroes, of weirdos, heroes, and ordinary citizens going off the grid. It's one man's story of a dangerous world–and how to stay alive in it. Before the next disaster strikes, you're going to want to read this book. And you'll want to do everything it suggests. Because tomorrow doesn't come with a guarantee...

Truth Lies and Public Health

Truth Lies and Public Health ebook Description :

The "politicalization" of research findings has become prevalent over the past two decades. Politics often prevents the implementation of policy supported by irrefutable science. Most of us understand something about how this is happening with stem cell research, but Cornell's Madelon Finkel delves deep into the subject to make the issues clear, also revealing how ideology and politics are distorting, diminishing, and destroying scientific research results regarding topics from needle exchange to medical marijuana use and HIV/AIDS prevention. When ideology--whether it is the ideology of scientists and clinicians or of politicians--distorts scientific findings and public health judgment, public welfare is endangered, potentially affecting every person in our nation. Finkel also discusses how research is funded and how ideology has influenced that process. Numerous examples are given to illustrate the consequences of co-opting the scientific integrity of a program in this way.

Public health policies traced back and discussed in this book include those focused on: BLContraception BLThe Global AIDS epidemic BLStem Cell research BLMarijuana as medicine BLNeedle exchange programs BLTuberculosis control BLDietary supplements BLSilicone breast implants BLObesity BLVaccination and disease prevention

Actualités en Rééducation des Maladies Neuro-Musculaires de L'adulte (French Edition)

Actualités en rééducation des maladies neuro ebook Description :

Les maladies neuro-musculaires constituent un champ extrêmement vaste qui concerne les pathologies congénitales ou acquises du muscle et du nerf périphérique. La recherche fondamentale a considérablement modifié le regard porté sur ces maladies au cours des dernières années en particulier au niveau du diagnostic des pathologies musculaires. Lâapproche thérapeutique sâest enrichie, en particulier dans la prise en charge des neuropathies. Tous ces progrès ne doivent pas cacher lâimportance de la prise en charge symptomatique de ces affections qui sâest structurée au cours des dernières années à partir dâéquipes pluridisciplinaires regroupées pour certaines au sein de centres de référence. Câest le panorama de la prise en charge du patient porteur dâune affection neuromusculaire que nous proposons dâaborder dans cet ouvrage.

En effet, à partir dâune consultation initiale, le patient doit pouvoir bénéficier de toutes les approches permises par la médecine physique et de réadaptation, non seulement la rééducation et lâapproche médico-sociale mais de façon plus spécialisée lâappareillage des membres et du tronc, lâentretien musculaire et la rééducation de lâéquilibre et des troubles vésico-sphinctériens, la prise en charge de la douleur et de la dysautonomie et, enfin, lâapproche chirurgicale du handicap locomoteur. Le propos de cet ouvrage est de réunir lâexpérience de praticiens impliqués dans des aspects très particuliers de la rééducation des affections neuro-musculaires de lâadulte. Ainsi, le lecteur pourra sâapproprier cette approche dans sa pratique quotidienne en adaptant les actes dont il est familier à une pathologie qui, bien que faisant partie des " maladies rares ", ne doit pas rester orpheline dâune prise en charge adaptée dont tous les acteurs, et les patients avant tout, reconnaissent le bien-fondé.
