The Strange Death of Medical England
When Nigel Lawson said in 1992 "the NHS is the closest thing the English people have to a religion" he was correct. The government at that time, and subsequent governments, wished to bring about fundamental changes to the NHS. But one thing above all stood in their way. The doctors.To push the changes through the traditional political power of the medical profession had to be neutralised. Through a combination of stealth, carrot-and-stick combined with the startlingly mediocre leadership of the medical profession governments were eventually able to have their way. This book tells you how it happened.

High-Performance Concrete
Over the past three decades, high-performance concrete (HPC) and ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) have emerged as transformative materials in civil engineering and construction. Characterized by their exceptional compressive strength (often exceeding 150 MPa for UHPC), high ductility (strain-hardening behavior under tension), and superior durability, these materials represent a paradigm shift from conventional concrete. The versatility of HPC/UHPC has enabled its adoption in cutting-edge engineering applications. In 3D-printed construction, their rheological properties-tailored through precise control of viscosity and thixotropy-allow for layer-by-layer extrusion without slump deformation, enabling complex geometries unachievable with ordinary concrete. For dry concrete construction, HPC/UHPC's rapid hardening and low water-to-binder ratio minimize curing time and reduce shrinkage cracks, which is critical for prefabricated modular systems. In protective engineering, UHPC's high fracture toughness and energy absorption capacity make it ideal for blast-resistant structures, seismic retrofitting, and coastal defenses exposed to chloride ingress. Emerging applications further underscore its transformative potential. Despite the growing body of research focused on HPC/UHPC, numerous challenges and unresolved research gaps persist, necessitating further innovative exploration.

The research particularly examines the clinical characteristics of headaches during interictal, prodromal, ictal, and postictal periods, making it an invaluable resource for neurologists, epileptologists, and healthcare providers seeking to enhance their diagnostic and treatment approaches for patients experiencing both conditions.
Implant Failure and Complications
Dental implants are a valuable treatment option for better oral health and quality of life. However dental implants can fail at different points in time, starting from the time when they are inserted.Despite a higher rate of success, however there remains a significant no. of patients who develop peri implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. The definition of success for implants extends beyond merely implant survival.High survival rates and low complication rates of the prostheses are an important prerequisite for the general success of treatment, as failures of the prosthesis may result in failures of the entire implant rehabilitation. One of the most important strategies to reduce the risk of failure is a comprehensive pretreatment diagnostic work-up followed by the decision to fabricate either a fixed or a removable implant prosthesis.Therefore, while dental implants are increasingly becoming the choice of replacement for missing teeth, the complications associated with them are progressively emerging too.
Shadow in Perpetuity
Cancer has in recent times acquired an eerie omnipresence in the minds of our countrymen as they see all kinds of personalities, big and small go down with the disease. Many of those affected, particularly those with financial muscle run abroad for treatment unreferred, by and large deluding themselves that that way they are outpacing the witty crab. Some jump from one practitioner to another, and from one centre to another in search of the solution. They are at the centre of the universe and must shake off the 'little dirt' sprinkled on them by the crab. One thing they are oblivious of is that cancer therapy is a long haul and cures are rare after four weeks of treatment abroad. The talks of 'we have cured you' are mere traps meant to entice more numbers. There are also those who resort to alternative therapies in the hope of avoiding conventional treatments for fear of their associated side effects, which is misinformed.
The Role of Resveratrol in the Prevention and Treatment of Cataracts
Non-surgical approaches to delay or prevent cataract formation have gained increasing interest in recent years. Among the numerous pharmacological candidates, resveratrol, a natural polyphenolic compound with potent antioxidant properties, has been extensively studied for its therapeutic potential. This book evaluates the available evidence supporting the use of resveratrol in preventing or delaying cataract development. Resveratrol holds significant promise as a non-surgical pharmacological agent for cataract prevention, particularly through its antioxidant and gene-regulatory functions. Combining pirenoxine (Catalin) with resveratrol and potentially with agents like taurine, N-acetyl cysteine or lipoic acid represents a rational, multi-targeted approach to delay cataractogenesis. Given the complementary mechanisms, particularly in oxidative stress modulation, protein protection, and cellular repair. This strategy could lead to more effective non-surgical management of cataract, especially in high-risk groups such as the elderly and diabetics.
Psychodynamic Psychiatry
Psycho-dynamic psychiatry combines psychoanalytic principles with DSM-5 operational thinking. Major psychiatric disorders and personality dis-harmonies are presented psycho-dynamically, with an emphasis on intrapsychic functioning, on conflictuality, Freudian and neo-Freudian principles. The therapeutic framework as a landmark in the mind of the specialist is the reference to which psychiatric thinking appeals. The concepts of transference and counter-transference are essential, the relationship being healing through the power of containment of the specialist's mind, by referring to significant imago and to the stress-diary relationship. The psychoanalytic concepts of narcissism, symbiosis, twinning, false self, projection, projective identification, cleavage, dissociation are related to psychotic, neurotic, borderline, perverse functioning, in psycho-dynamic vision, but keeping the reference of international psychiatric diagnostic classifications. The book represents an interface between psychiatry and psychoanalysis, showing that the psychiatric patient is in a living dynamic, "an organism" whose history is written and rewritten according to the doctor-patient dynamic.
Motor Learning and Recovery
Motor learning involves the acquisition and refinement of movement patterns through practice, leading to lasting improvements in functional abilities. Key theories like Dynamic Systems Theory emphasize the interaction between the individual, environment, and task to drive recovery.For neurological conditions (e.g., stroke), approaches such as: Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT): Forces use of the affected limb to counteract "learned nonuse."Task-Oriented Training: Focuses on meaningful, real-world activities to enhance motor control.Robotics & Virtual Reality: Provide guided, repetitive practice to promote neuroplasticity.Bilateral Training: Uses simultaneous limb movements to stimulate neural recovery.Evidence supports these methods for improving motor function, particularly when tailored to individual goals and contexts. Emerging technologies and occupation-based strategies further optimize outcomes in rehabilitation.
Wound Man
A spectacularly illustrated history of an enigmatic surgical diagram The Wound Man--a medical diagram depicting a figure fantastically pierced by weapons and ravaged by injuries and diseases--was reproduced widely across the medieval and early modern globe. In this panoramic book, Jack Hartnell charts the emergence and endurance of this striking image, used as a visual guide to the treatment of many ailments. Taking readers on a remarkable journey from medieval Europe to eighteenth-century Japan, Hartnell explains the historic popularity of this gruesome image and why the Wound Man continues to intrigue us today. Drawing on a wealth of original research, Hartnell traces the many lives of the Wound Man, from its origins in late medieval Bohemia to its vivid reincarnations in hundreds of manuscripts and printed books over more than three hundred years. Transporting readers beyond the specifics of bodily injury, Hartnell demonstrates how the Wound Man's body was at once an encyclopedic repository of surgical knowledge, a fantastic literary and religious muse, a catalyst for shifting media landscapes, and a cross-cultural artistic feat that reached diverse audiences around the world. The Wound Man, we discover, held profound importance not only for healers and patients but also for scribes, students, nuns, monks, printmakers, and poets. Marvelously illustrated, Wound Man sheds light on the entwined histories of art and medicine, showing how premodern medical diagrams represent a unique site of contact between sickness, cure, painting, and print.

Pharmacological reversal of cataract
Cataracts, a major cause of serious visual impairment, have been treated since ancient times, beginning with rudimentary methods like couching. Surgical techniques evolved significantly over centuries. Non-surgical approaches to delay or prevent cataract formation have been increasingly a focus of research. The study in this book aims to summarize and critically evaluate the existing evidence on the efficacy and mechanisms of pirenoxine in the management of cataract and related ocular conditions. Pirenoxine exhibits multiple pharmacological actions that may delay cataractogenesis. While promising, its global clinical use is limited due to the lack of large-scale randomized controlled trials. While Pirenoxine (Catalin) eye drops offer a pharmacological approach to delaying cataract progression via local ocular mechanisms, growing evidence suggests that systemic antioxidant supplementation may offer synergistic benefits.
