Medical Qigong Exercise Prescriptions
Medical qigong is one of the four main branches of Chinese medicine, and it is the energetic foundation upon which the others (acupuncture, herbal medicine, and medical massage) are based. Medical qigong and tai chi exercises are becoming more popular, but there are few books that discuss how they can be used to help address specific disorders. This book is the first medical qigong book that does not simply introduce a set of exercises that are a part of a general qigong routine. Rather, the exercises provided are those prescribed to patients at qigong hospitals in China. Medical qigong doctors and Chinese medicine hospitals have used these exercises for hundreds of years and yet they are relatively unknown in this country. The first half of the book introduces medical qigong theory from a modern Western scientific perspective as well as from the traditional Daoist and Chinese medicine perspectives, so that the reader will understand why and how medical qigong exercises work. The second half is practical exercises for self-healing. The book introduces guidelines for selecting appropriate exercises, and then the exercises themselves. There are general tonification (strengthening), purgation (sedating), and regulation exercises for health maintenance, followed by sections on specific organ and health disorders. This book targets health care practitioners as well as "patients," meaning anyone interested in taking an active role in the healing process.

Acupressure and Meridian Massage Second Edition
Acupressure is so much more than simply pressing on a point. It is a comprehensive system for treating the body as a whole. When clients come to us with pain in a specific region, more often than not we focus on the part and forget about the whole. Most therapists treat shoulder pain by working just on the shoulder, which makes sense, but through the lens of acupressure and meridian massage, we see there often is more to a successful treatment than that. Seen through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the body is an interconnected whole. Understanding how it is connected, both physically and energetically, and being familiar with the pathways of connection, is fundamental. Acupressure and Meridian Massage guides practitioners through the connections of the body by combining ancient wisdom and modern science to provide a comprehensive system of assessment and treatment leading to long-lasting and improved results.

Eacvi Handbook of Cardiovascular CT
Since its clinical introduction almost 20 years ago, cardiac CT has been embraced as an indispensable noninvasive cardiac imaging modality and an important first-line test for coronary artery disease. Beyond coronary artery disease, the potential of cardiac CT has become evident for diagnosis and guidance of treatment in a variety of other cardiac pathologies, including valvular disease, atrial fibrillation and other arrhythmias, endocarditis, cardiac masses, cardiomyopathies, and others.The European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI) has declared as one of their foremost priorities to facilitate education and training in cardiovascular CT through teaching courses, congresses, and a structured certification program. This handbook represents an important step towards dissemination of skills and knowledge in cardiovascular CT. It is a concise and practical companion, to benefit students, trainees or advanced users; cardiologists, radiologists, cardiac surgeons or technicians, in their everyday practice. Four broad sections cover technical aspects and physical background, coronary indications (e.g. coronary CT angiography, atherosclerosis imaging, stents & bypasses, functional CT imaging, etc.), non-coronary indications (CT for valve disease, infective endocarditis, CT of the left atrium, congenital heart disease, cardiac masses, extracardiac findings, etc.), and finally training and competence in cardiac CT. The handbook features short chapters, enriched with illustrations, tables and condensed summaries, facilitating rapid and intuitive access.
Pathway to a Profession
A fascinating and informative narrative with a pictorial record identifying the genealogy of the Australian trained chiropractor and osteopath dating from the founders of the first colleges in Australia in the late 1920's to the present.The major part of this book records for the first time an original and authoritative account of the foundation and development of the Sydney College of Chiropractic with its contribution and osteopathic education in Australia.Despite opposition from political medicine and conflict within the professions the College played an integral part in the drive for legislation of chiropractors and osteopaths and a pivotal role in the development and recognition of these professions.The SCC emerged to establish its reputation of excellence in the education of chiropractors and osteopaths in Australia which eventually led to its amalgamation with Macquarie University. This was a world first which provided for the Master of Chiropractic Degree to be instituted, the highest level of pre-professional chiropractic education in Australia.This achievement contributed to the unification of the two major chiropractic associations which enhanced the standing of the profession in the community.

Eat Fat And Grow Slim
Dr. Richard Mackarness book exposed the "calorie fallacy" and proposed a non-carbohydrate "Stone Age" diet of protein and fat with no restriction as to the amount eaten. OBESITY IS always fatiguing and always a great strain on the body. It is not due to greed but, as Dr. Mackarness so clearly explains in this book, to a little-understood difficulty in the economy of the body which makes it turn sugars and starches into fat instead of promptly using them to give energy, as do the people who remain normal in weight.
Tales and Remedies of the Other Medicine
When we are not healthy, we often feel a sense of guilt. We analyse what could be the cause of our discomfort, perhaps what we have eaten, or we have not done something right. The answer could be that we have forgotten to do good prevention. In fact, by the time we realise a certain problem, it is already too late. It would be better if we thought about it a moment earlier, precisely prevention. So this is what iridology can be used for. By analysing the iris one can understand, in some cases, the cause of the discomfort or get an idea of the general state of psychophysical health. This book will give you an idea of the potential of this type of investigation. But not only that, in this book I have collected many lesser-known stories, anecdotes and curiosities about health. It is neither a history book nor a handbook of natural remedies, but an attempt to shed some light on unconventional medicine and make some suggestions. How many mysteries auricolo-therapy and acupressure still hide. What about longevity?

Transradial Access in Interventional Radiology
This book provides how-to recommendations and detailed guides for using transradial access in interventional radiology. A relatively new and growing technique, transradial access is most commonly found within interventional cardiology. This book approaches those cardiac uses of transradial access while extending its use to other body sites and disease states. The book details the interventional radiologist's transition to using transradial access across a broad spectrum of clinical applications, allowing them to better introduce it into their practice and to their patients. The text is divided into three sections: overview, clinical applications, and novel applications and techniques. The first section covers the history of transradial access, the initial patient assessment, and how to prepare for a procedure. The second section is divided into different diseases and interventional situations where transradial access could be considered, including subclavian artery stenosis and endovascular neurosurgery. The third section includes coverage of how to perform the latest techniques and projections for future procedures. This guide provides a manual of operations to assist in the setup of the practice, from office visit to procedure room to recovery across a variety of service lines and patient populations. Key take home points and equipment summaries accompany each chapter, allowing the user to easily navigate the book to accelerate his or her practice. This is an ideal guide for interventional radiologists.

In this must-read book for any practitioner, carer or patient, Eleanor Oyston shares her story of bringing oncology massage to Australia.

Very quickly, she witnessed the amazing benefits and knew she wanted to spread the word. This is Eleanor's story of determination, passion, commitment and vision to give others the gift of compassionate, mindful touch. 'Cancer is rough. Cancer treatments are brutal. I can't tell you how much oncology massage has helped with my pain and fatigue. I feel less anxious and depressed, and it has improved the quality of the time I have left. As far as I'm concerned, oncology massage is value for money, no argument. Just don't take all the appointment slots!' Client at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Melbourne, 2020
Mining Gold and Manufacturing Ignorance
This open access book charts how South Africa's gold mines have systematically suppressed evidence of hazardous work practices and the risks associated with mining.For most of the twentieth century, South Africa was the world's largest producer of gold. Although the country enjoyed a reputation for leading the world in occupational health legislation, the mining companies developed a system of medical surveillance and workers' compensation which compromised the health of black gold miners, facilitated the spread of tuberculosis, and ravaged the communities and economies of labour-sending states. The culmination of two decades of meticulous archival research, this book exposes the making, contesting, and unravelling of the companies' capacity to shape - and corrupt - medical knowledge.

The myriad details and interrelationships are easily recognized in simple and natural ways by the innovative arrangement of the muscle information on each page and from page-to-page. The reader comfortably stays aware of the bigger picture while studying any one item, easily compares and contrasts related features and facts, and is enabled to structure study time to play to strengths or to eliminate weaknesses.Over 170 muscles are covered, as well as all bones, bony landmarks, joints, ligaments, and other related structures. Anatomy and kinesiology concepts and terminology are clearly presented.
