The Leukemias
This is the first comprehensive summary of the etiology of the various leukemias organized by cell type. Focusing on the four major subtypes--acute lymphocytic leukaemia, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, acute non-lymphocytic leukaemia, and chronic myelocytic leukaemia--the author presents both descriptive characteristics and a systematic examination of suspected aetiological agents, with hundreds of references to epidemiologic and clinical studies. Epidemiologists and oncologists in particular will benefit from the discussion of genetic and familial facotrs, the critical review of reported leukaemia clusters, and the extensive presentation of the relationship between orther malignancies, their treatments, and subsequent development of leukaemia.
Cancer Epidemiology and Prevention
Drawing widely from international sources, the new edition of this reference work on cancer causes, incidence, mortality a survival patterns, also includes chapters on social class, obesity, physical activity and chemoprevention plus other related topics in the field.
The Economics of Health and Health Care
For courses in Health Economics, U.S. Health Policy/Systems, or Public Health, taken by health services students or practitioners, the text makes economic concepts the backbone of its health care coverage. Folland, Goodman and Stano's book is the bestselling Health Care Economics text that teaches through core economic themes, rather than concepts unique to the health care economy. This edition contains revised and updated data tables, where applicable. The advent of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) in 2010 has also led to changes in many chapters , most notably in the organization and focus of Chapter 16.
Is Breast Best?
“Wolf offers a powerful and important cultural critique...this is an insightful and eye-opening book that will be of interest to sociologists of gender, medical sociologists, and science studies scholars.”—American Journal of Sociology “Wolf notes the 'insular and unidimensional zealotry' of breastfeeding campaigners and skillfully uncovers elements of racism and elitism in their behavior toward working women who do not have the luxury to breastfeed.”—Choice “Beautifully written, powerfully argued. . . . Challenges the science prescription that all infants must be breastfed.”—Linda Blum, author of At the Breast: Ideologies of Breastfeeding and Motherhood in the Contemporary...
Colonoscopy
To publish a book on colonoscopy suitable for an international medical audience, drawing upon the expertise and talents of many outstanding world-wide clinicians, is a daunting task. New developments in videocolonoscope instruments, procedural technique, patient selection and preparation, and moderate sedation and monitoring are being made and reported daily in both the medical and the lay press. Just as over the last several decades colonoscopy has largely supplanted the use of barium enema x-ray study of the colon, new developments in gastrointestinal imaging such as computerized tomographic colonography and video transmitted capsule study of the colonic lumen and new discoveries in cellular and molecular biology that may facilitate the early detection of colon cancer, colon polyps and other gastrointestinal pathology threaten to relegate the role of screening colonoscopy to the side lines of medical practice. This book draws on the talents of renowned physicians who convey a sense of the history, the present state-of-the art and ongoing confronting issues, and the predicted future of this discipline.
