Cardiac CT
Over the past few decades there have been major advances in computed tomography (CT) to improve the performance of cardiac imaging. Thanks to the improved scanning speed, power boost tubes, and increased-width detectors, the latest CT technology delivers greater coverage, better spatial and temporal resolution, and functional information on cardiac diseases. Focusing on cardiac CT imaging, this book offers case-based information on cardiac diseases, presents the current technical status, and highlights applications, helping readers systematically understand how cardiac CTs are performed and interpreted in clinical practice. Divided into six chapters, it broadly discusses the characteristics of CT imaging and its applications to coronary artery disease (CAD); non-atherosclerotic coronary artery disease; congenital heart disease; cardiac neoplasms; cardiomyopathy and aortic diseases.
The Min Jie Formulary Companion
Are you ready to explore the relationships between temperature and category in Chinese herbal medicine?The Min Jie Formulary Companion Series One Volume Three is the place to begin!There are many gems in the Chinese pharmacopoeia that are hidden in plain view. One of the best ways to grasp these hidden gems is by systematically deconstructing the entire pharmacopoeia and going through a process of discovering how this extraordinary material can organically reassemble itself into different forms.The Min Jie Formulary Companion series is a systematic deconstruction of the Chinese pharmacopoeia based on Category, Taste, Temperature, Territory, Internal Relationships and Number. The first series, of which this is the third part, focuses on the deconstruction and reconstruction of category. This volume focuses on the deconstruction and reconstruction of temperature by category.The Min Jie Formulary Companion is useful precisely because the Chinese pharmacopoeia is so gigantic and detailed. This enormity can prevent us from getting to the core of what we seek in the intensity of the clinical moment.The structure of The Min Jie Formulary Companion may break some taboos in the world of traditional Chinese medicine, but putting our pharmacopoeia into a series of new, systematic and coherent forms helps us to locate what we need in that critical clinical moment. It also helps us to make meaningful comparisons between herbs in our process of differentiation when we're prescribing. Moreover, it helps us to make connections between herbs and their functions that we might never arrive at without physically seeing them arranged in a variety of ways. Beyond that, novel organization patterns also help us to undergo a more systematic process of assessing, diagnosing, treating and prescribing with our patients.The current popular structure of the Chinese pharmacopoeia has a definite systemic coherence. Yet it's so complex and esoteric that very few practitioners truly understand or appreciate how it was designed, even though they might use it every working day. One of the main purposes of these deconstructions is to begin to bring to light many of the invisible secrets that are built into the organization of the Chinese pharmacopoeia. It's been my experience that this process can help us to value and respect this information more completely, and ultimately become better practitioners of our medicine.
Mitigation of Cancer Therapy Side-Effects with Light
'Light' from low level laser therapy, through a process called photobiomodulation (PBM), has been in existence in supportive care in cancer, in particular in the management of oral mucositis (OM) in patients undergoing chemotherapy, radiation therapy and haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In this book the authors attempt to portray the current status of the supportive care interventions that are possible with PBM using low level laser therapy (LLLT) in patients undergoing cancer treatment for solid tumours, harmatological malignancies, and head and neck cancers.
Electromagnetics in Magnetic Resonance Imaging
In the past few decades, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has become an indispensable tool in modern medicine, with MRI systems now available at every major hospital in the developed world. But for all its utility and prevalence, it is much less commonly understood and less readily explained than other common medical imaging techniques. Unlike optical, ultrasonic, X-ray (including CT), and nuclear medicine-based imaging, MRI does not rely primarily on simple transmission and/or reflection of energy, and the highest achievable resolution in MRI is orders of magnitude smaller that the smallest wavelength involved. In this book, MRI will be explained with emphasis on the magnetic fields required, their generation, their concomitant electric fields, the various interactions of all these fields with the subject being imaged, and the implications of these interactions to image quality and patient safety. Classical electromagnetics will be used to describe aspects from the fundamental phenomenon of nuclear precession through signal detection and MRI safety. Simple explanations and Illustrations combined with pertinent equations are designed to help the reader rapidly gain a fundamental understanding and an appreciation of this technology as it is used today, as well as ongoing advances that will increase its value in the future. Numerous references are included to facilitate further study with an emphasis on areas most directly related to electromagnetics.
Vitamin Politics
Millions of Americans are spending billions of dollars each year buying megavitamin supplements in an attempt to prevent or cure physical ailments from the common cold to cancer, avoid mental depression, and starve off the effects of old age. What they don't know is that not only are they wasting their money, but they may be endangering their lives. In Vitamin Politics, John Fried shows how we have been misled and manipulated by vitamin enthusiasts who preach megavitamin therapy for a host of common ills. Operating without a conclusive body of proof, they continue to promote massive doses of vitamins to a willing public that is more interested in miracle cures than in reasoned scientific skepticism and caution. Vitamins taken in megadoses are no longer vitamins--they are drugs. As drugs they can and do have dangerous side effects. Numerous cases have been documented describing the effects suffered by those on megavitamin regimens including lethargy, vomiting, loss of hair, enlarged livers and spleens, and abnormal skull growth. But, Fried found, megavitamin proponents are more interested in publicity than scientific investigation, and vitamin promoters are more involved in the economics of vitamin production than in determining the effects of vitamins taken in large quantities. Vitamin Politics, an update of Fried's classic The Vitamin Conspiracy, combines the misinformation of vitamin faddists and offers a well-reasoned, thoroughly researched report of the facts.

Atlas of Lymphoscintigraphy and Sentinel Node Mapping
The main goal of the second edition of this book is to update the content on the rapidly growing field of lymphoscintigraphy, a radionuclide-based imaging procedure that provides information on the functional status of the lymphatic system. Although the technique was originally introduced to identify the cause of peripheral edema (i.e., blockage of the venous or lymphatic circulation), more recent and widespread applications include radioguided biopsy of the sentinel lymph node in patients with solid cancers. This procedure is crucial for the adequate planning of oncologic surgery in a growing number of cancers, most notably breast cancer, cutaneous melanoma, head and neck cancers, penile cancer, and cervical cancer.The book focuses on the latest advances in lymphoscintigraphy techniques, including both novel tracers recently approved for clinical use (especially in the field of sentinel lymph node mapping) and the expanding role of hybrid imaging with SPECT/CT - and in sentinel node detection using hybrid tracers (radiolabeled and fluorescent) for dual-signature guidance. Each chapter addresses the clinical application of lymphoscintigraphy in different anatomic areas or disease conditions. After an introductory section concerning the pathophysiology of the specific site/disease, the clinical relevance and impact of lymphoscintigraphy is demonstrated by a collection of richly illustrated teaching cases describing the lymphoscintigraphic patterns most commonly observed, as well as anatomic variants and technical pitfalls. Emphasis is placed on tomographic multimodality imaging. The book gathers contributions by experts in nuclear oncology, who have revised their chapters by updating the didactic material and adding clinical cases. Regarding sentinel lymph node biopsy in particular, a major distinction of this text is the incorporation of the staging guidelines of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (8th edition) into the didactic material.

A Bigger Picture
Discover the story of how a licensed psychologist discovered another way to help himself and his clients to change. Excerpt; Dear reader, I'm Daniel Burow. I'm a highly educated psychologist who had already been in practice for 15 years when I first made contact with Master Hypnotist Society founder Scott McFall back in 2005.That experience was confusing, irritating...and profoundly awesome, in the truest sense of the word. When my own practice started to flail in my growing lack of confidence and uncertainty, I came back-long after he'd forgotten who I was - and asked him to show me the pieces I was missing. This is a story about the human capacity to change even the most deeply rooted coping mechanisms, and the people who patiently shone light from every angle to guide me as I excavated myself from...myself.

Liver Intra-Arterial Prrt with 111in-Octreotide
This book describes in detail a clinical project that reveals the tumoricidal efficacy of Auger and internal conversion electrons, emitted from n.c.a. 111In and implemented in oncology as a treating armamentarium for peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT), targeting small size (繪 The keen interest in n.c.a. 111In began when it was observed that its Auger electron emission could be highly radiotoxic, due to its high LET when it decayed in the vicinity of cellular DNA. The somatostatin analog octreotide, labeled with [111In-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA0-D-Phe1)] is an established diagnostic agent for the imaging of somatostatin receptor-positive neuro- (or non-neuro) endocrine tumors. It relies on receptor-mediated binding, internalization and installation in the lysosomes in the proximity of the nucleus; administered in large doses, loco-regionally, via the feeding artery of solid tumors, can be highly radiotoxic if they over-express somatostatin receptors, mainly of the sst2 histotype.The book compares the results between i.v. and i.a. implementation in more than 80 patients after over 800 i.a. infusions in neuroendocrine tumors, meningiomas, paragangliomas and colorectal carcinomas in a single Institute (Aretaieion University Hospital) and encourages the i.a. way, leading to "tumor melting", while minimizing the toxicity to healthy peritumoral liver tissue and critical organs (kidneys and bone marrow).The volume is an invaluable tool for nuclear medicine physicians, interventional radiologists and oncologists dealing with radiopeptide therapies.
