Challenging a number of myths about living long term with or after cancer, this book offers new insights by delving into areas that are not usually spoken about. Written from a dual perspective- that of a psychologist who had breast cancer and who copes with the long-term effects of treatment - the book contests the assumption that the afflicted person will simply 'get better' or 'move through' to a better situation. Emotional and physical side-effects can worsen over time and people living beyond or with cancer often endure a mismatch between expectations and reality, because they have been told that life would be easier than it actually is. This can leave both those suffering longer term a...
Langzeitfolgen von Krebs überleben und bewältigen Bei rund 492.000 Deutschen wird jährlich erstmalig eine Krebserkrankung diagnostiziert. 64% der Betroffenen leben noch nach fünf Jahren und werden als «Cancer Survivors» bezeichnet. Ihnen ist dieses Buch gewidmet, verfasst von der selbst an Brustkrebs erkrankten und beratend tätigen Psychologin Cordelia Galgut.

Tehran 2012. Tre generationer med olika minnen och erfarenheter av stadens historia. En mormor och hennes dotterson vars relation är mer kärleksfull i handling än i ord. Men för ett ovant öga är kanske till och med handlingarna svåra att tyda. Båda två har i alla fall svårt för resten av släkten. Och så döttrarna som var med om en revolution för över trettio år sedan och som försöker gå vidare med sina liv. De röker och dricker och snackar skit om sin mamma och får ångest och går på yoga och lever som många andra medelålders medelklasskvinnor. Men de bor i Tehran och inte i Trelleborg. Sedan har vi barnbarnen som en gång i tiden stod varandra väldigt nära men so...

The Great Game in West Asia examines the strategic competition between Iran and Turkey for power and influence in the South Caucasus. These neighbouring Middle East powers have vied for supremacy and influence throughout the region and especially in their immediate vicinity, while both contending with ethnic heterogeneity within their own territories and across their borders. Turkey has long conceived of itself as not just a bridge between Asia and Europe but in more substantive terms as a central player in regional and global affairs. If somewhat more modest in its public statements, Iran's parallel ambitions for strategic centrality and influence have only been masked by its own inarticulate foreign policy agendas and the repeated missteps of its revolutionary leaders. But both have sought to deepen their regional influence and power, and in the South Caucasus each has achieved a modicum of success. In fact, as the contributions to this volume demonstrate, as much of the world's attention has been diverted to conflicts and flashpoints near and far, a new great game has been unravelling between Iran and Turkey in the South Caucasus.
Given the prevalence of heart conditions in modern populations, new techniques for treating patients are highly warranted. This book will be required reading for researchers and healthcare practitioners, as it offers assessments of complications, the new transradial approach and an overview of drug-eluting stents. A special focus on percutaneous coronary interventions is evident, from chapters on pharmacotherapy, its relevance to 30-day mortality and the CANADA score, besides the treatment of patients with saphenous vein graft disease. Other treatment protocols addressed include therapeutic hypothermia and the drug-eluting balloon, cardiac postconditioning to limit cell death following myocardial infarction and rotablation in the drug-eluting Syent era. There is also a chapter on using contrast medium-induced nephropathy gram-iodine/GFR ratio to predict CIN.
