Head Injury
"Every year around 1.4 million people in England and Wales will attend hospital as a result of a head injury, and of these, 150,000 people will be admitted. Thanks to advances in medical technology, the outlook for those who suffer a head injury is much improved. Most will have a normal life expectancy, but many will experience problems associated with the injury they have sustained. It can be a stressful experience, not just for the individual affected, but also for those around them." "Head Injury: The Facts explains how the brain is affected when a head injury occurs, the physical, cognitive, and emotional problems that can arise as a result, and how to cope in the weeks, months, and - potentially - years after the accident. It offers practical advice on coping strategies, emphasising that knowledge and support are key to overcoming a head injury as a family. It also includes a frequently asked questions' section written especially for children who know someone who has been injured."--BOOK JACKET.
Dwarfism
This landmark volume is the first to trace the exciting developments in the field of dwarfism research and treatment over the past century—particularly during the past fifty years. Dr. Betty M. Adelson, a psychologist, has unearthed and synthesized the most significant information about dwarfing conditions, from articles written a century ago to current books and specialized databases. Highlighting the outstanding contributions of Dr. Victor McKusick and several of his colleagues, Dr. Adelson reveals how dwarfism specialists have helped redefine the nature of medical care—transforming it from an authoritarian enterprise into a holistic, collaborative venture among physicians, affected individuals, and their families. The parent of an adult dwarf daughter, Adelson examines the social forces that affect the dwarfism community. She offers personal descriptions of the day-to-day challenges dwarf individuals face and portrays their accomplishments. Insightful and accessible, this work will prove a valuable resource for affected individuals, their families, and medical professionals—physicians, nurses, genetic counselors, social workers, psychologists, and medical students.

This is the first book of its kind to include the personal accounts of people who have survived injury to the brain, along with professional therapists' reports of their progress through rehabilitation. The paintings and stories of survivors combine with experts' discussions of the theory and practice of brain injury rehabilitation to illustrate the ups and downs that survivors encounter in their journey from pre-injury status to insult and post-injury rehabilitation. Wilson, Winegardner and Ashworth's focus on the survivors' perspective shows how rehabilitation is an interactive process between people with brain injury, health care staff, and others, and gives the survivors the chance to te...

Collection and Use of Cancer Family History in Primary Care
This systematic review was undertaken to: (1) evaluate the accuracy of patient reporting of cancer family history; (2) identify and evaluate tools designed to capture cancer family history that are applicable to the primary care setting; and (3) identify and evaluate risk assessment tools (RATs) in promoting appropriate management of familial cancer risk in primary care settings. For family history tools (FHxTs) and RATs, studies were limited to those applicable to primary care settings. Conclusions: Informants reporting their cancer family history have greater accuracy for relatives free of cancer than those with cancer. Reporting accuracy may vary among different cancer types.
