The medical consequences of low-dose, low-rate exposures to ionizing radiation have been overestimated in numerous scientific publications. Jargin analyses and exposes the biases and hidden conflicts of such publications and exposes the detrimental motivations behind them.
This book analyzes bias and conflicts of interest in papers exaggerating the dangers of low-dose radiation. It argues antinuclear sentiment has been exploited to strangle nuclear energy, boosting fossil fuel prices and serving the interests of fossil fuel vendors.
This book provides the philosophical basis for person-centred healthcare. Drawing on phenomenology, it offers clinicians a practical guide to improving care and promoting autonomy in patients with chronic illness.
Explore the interplay between oral health and respiratory well-being. This groundbreaking book unveils the significance of biomarkers in diagnosing and managing periodontal and respiratory diseases, bridging the gap between periodontology and respiratory medicine.
The Proceedings of the 18th Annual History of Medicine Days Conference 2009
This peer-reviewed volume collects papers from the History of Medicine Days conference, exploring topics from Ancient Medicine to Eugenics, Military Medicine, and Surgery. The book features the keynote address on the misuse of genetics by Dr. Garland E. Allen.
The Proceedings of the 20th Anniversary History of Medicine Days Conference 2011
This volume from the History of Medicine Days conference comprises insights into the histories of Women, Health and Reproduction; Institutes and Deinstitutionalization; and the Brain, Mind, and Mindlessness. It includes Dr. George Weisz’s keynote on chronic disease.
Deriving from a medicine history conference, this set of proceedings comprises topics from areas such as the history of health care systems, medical sciences and public health. It is also well-illustrated with diagrams and images pertaining to the history of medicine.
Despite its key role in medicine, epidemiology is faltering. No other specialty can track diseases in populations, assess health risks, or evaluate medical care. A lesson from COVID-19 is that enhancing this work is crucial for public health. This volume shows how.
This book pioneers automated control systems in mining, introducing the first mathematical models of Lamb wave propagation and ultrasound attenuation in randomly heterogeneous media.
The use of glycated haemoglobin was a major step in antidiabetic treatment and led to the identification of cell receptors. The aim of this study is to explore how one such cell receptor, RAGE, offers new therapeutic possibilities for diabetes, ageing, and Alzheimer’s disease.
This book highlights the diagnostic power of inspecting the human face. Meticulous observation can provide valuable clues, revealing underlying systemic and genetic diseases. This very illustrative book is an essential guide for medical and nursing students and technicians.
The first deep dive into how social determinants of health fuel disparities for people with epilepsy. Through ground-breaking research into low-income communities, this book exposes the social and economic roots of inequity and charts a path toward health justice.
Essential reading for anyone who is presented with the problem of identifying and dealing with negative spirit influence, this monograph presents a complementary approach that is built upon the theoretical concepts and experimental methods of Frederic Myers.
This book challenges conventional views of infection, arguing that epidemics are irrevocably linked to culture, class, and power. Experts from diverse fields present a collaborative approach to find solutions that may determine whether people live or die.
This book proposes that the physiological motif of plastocyanin dimorphism is a hallmark of higher plants. It also serves as a methodological guide to photosynthesis, offering various methods for the study of proteins.
The Success Rates and Limits of Reproductive Medicine
More couples are leaving children until later, not realising “later” can be “too late”. While many trust in reproductive medicine, the biological clock cannot be turned back. This book explains the medical facts: what fertility treatments can achieve, and what they cannot.
This book highlights the usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for lung and thoracic tumors. Economical and with no radiation exposure, MRI offers advantages over CT and PET-CT, allowing for qualitative analysis of disease and early assessment of therapeutic effects.
This book describes experiments for modifying clinically used anticoagulants. It establishes the structure of the synthesized products through X-ray analysis, identifies unexpected new structures, and highlights their usefulness through biological and pharmacological experiments.
This book is the first to summarise the ultrastructure of pathogenic bacteria under different conditions. Presenting results from extensive studies, it describes similar morphological changes across species, suggesting universal adaptation mechanisms to changing environments.
This book explores the medicinal use of selected African plants. It details each species’ botanical characteristics, traditional medical use, and biological activity, while also proposing unique and original medical usages. An essential reference for medical practitioners.
