"This book is the brilliant and long needed corrective that we have waited for, since the first time we stuffed a box of pads into a three-ply paper bag and slunk out of a pharmacy. Never again." --Samantha Bee New York Times bestselling author of The Menopause Manifesto and "the world's most famous and outspoken gynecologist" (The Guardian) fights myths and fearmongering with real science, inclusive facts, and shame-free advice on the topic that impacts more than 72 million Americans every month: menstruation. Most people who menstruate can expect to have hundreds of periods in a lifetime. So why is real information so hard to find? Despite its significance, most education about menstruation focuses either on increasing the chances of pregnancy or preventing it. And while both are important for many people, those who menstruate deserve to know more about their bodies than just what happens in service to reproduction. At a time when charlatans, politicians, and social media are succeeding in propagating damaging misinformation with real and devastating consequences, Dr. Jen provides the antidote with science, myth busting, and no-nonsense facts, along with answers all your period-related questions, plus essential information about topics such as: * The fascinating biology of menstruation* Menstrual migraines, PMS, and period diarrhea (yes, it's a thing, unfortunately)*Vaccines and menstruation*Legitimate menstrual products, and the facts behind toxic shock syndrome*Painful periods and endometriosis*Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)*Debunking social media disinformation about contraceptionBlood is about much more than biology. It's an all-in-one, revolutionary guide that will change the way we think about, talk about--and don't talk about--our bodies and our well-being."Funny, erudite, compassionate, and righteous--sometimes all in a single sentence--Jen Gunter is the period expert we need right now." --Emily Nagoski, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of Come Together "Gunter deftly shovels away the patriarchal BS that's piled up around menstruation and digs into the most effective ways to live with and manage it, treat conditions related to it, and move past the myths concocted about it. An essential resource for anyone who menstruates or thinks menstruation is a mystery." -Emily Willingham, PhD, Author of Phallacy

Cancer Immunotherapy and Nanobiotechnology: An Interdisciplinary Approach
Struck Down by the Gods
Black and White VersionThis book describes the different types of strokes; their cause, and the medical conditions often confused with stroke. Although primarily intended for the non-medical person who wants to know how to prevent stroke (and heart attacks), there is much that would be of benefit to all health care professionals. Atherosclerosis, the cause of virtually all heart attacks and a major cause of stroke, is the progressive accumulation throughout life of cholesterol beneath the inner lining of the hardened walls of our arteries. The book challenges the long-held belief that smoking, obesity, high cholesterol, diabetes, and high blood pressure are the cause of atherosclerosis. Although they make it worse, they cannot be the cause, simply because atherosclerosis occurs in the absence of these risk factors and based on irrefutable autopsy evidence, commences decades before these risk factors appear, in some of us before we are born. Many other reasons for challenging these beliefs are revealed. The book contains interesting historical facts on the evolution of knowledge throughout the centuries since ancient times, explains the difference between absolute and relative risk and benefit, and the real cause of atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries). It explains what we as individuals can do to prevent stroke (and heart attack). It discusses the risk factors that identify those of us who are at increased risk of suffering a stroke (and heart attack), in particular smoking and obesity (and the obesogenic environment we live in), that greatly increase the risk. It makes a plea to the regulatory authorities to alter the way industry funded research is conducted to provide greater certainty, in particular appointing independent data and safety monitoring committees and not allowing the industry to claim confidentiality over the study data. Finally, it makes a plea to publishers to have a clear statement on the front page stating that this study is/is not funded by industry, to ensure that all papers discuss relative (the benefit to society) and absolute (the benefit to us as an individual) risk increase and reduction, the numbers needed to treat and an economic analysis of the cost benefit. A controversial recommendation is that when a known treatment exists, any new treatment to be compared to that treatment and not to a placebo. The reasons behind these pleas are discussed in the book

How to Make Your Brain Your Best Friend
Your brain is the most remarkable thing in the known universe. 'Fun, but still deeply, rigorously researched.' - Professor Neil Shyminsky 'A true masterpiece. Rachel Barr has done a phenomenal job breaking down the complexities of the human mind.' - Jeffrey Meltzer, LMHC 'Insightful and relatable psychoeducation that demystifies the brain . . . it's a resource I'll proudly keep on my shelf as a therapist.' - Joshua Fletcher, anxiety therapistAlways trying to mend itself, and always trying to protect you, it's in a constant state of flux -- adapting, reconfiguring, finding new pathways . . . And it has an astonishing capacity for recovery. Only it doesn't always get it right. Rachel Barr struggled through years of devastating loss, heartache, and uncertainty until neuroscience gave her the first spark of self-belief she had felt in her adult life -- and proof that, because of the brain's near-infinite potential for neuroplastic change, it's never too late to carve out neural pathways to form new habits, new skills, and new ways of thinking.

The Vermiform Appendix
This book deals with all the aspects related to such an organ. The appendix has been considered a vestigial remnant until the recent discoveries about its active immunologic function. It is particularly important for people living in poor areas of the world to restore the bacterial flora after infections. In addition, the appendix seems to exert an effect in the development of immune-related diseases spreading in developed countries, according to the theory of the safe house. The book is divided in three parts: The first is dedicated to embryology, anatomy and physiology. The second and third ones are dedicated to diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory and neoplastic diseases.

Catatonia
Catatonia is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by motor, affective and cognitive-behavioral symptoms, presenting significant challenges for both psychiatrists and neurologists. It occurs in 5-18% of patients in inpatient psychiatric units and in 3.3% of those in neurology or neuropsychiatric tertiary care inpatient settings. Despite its relatively high prevalence, catatonia is often underdiagnosed and inadequately treated, which can lead to substantial disadvantages for patients and may be associated with potentially life-threatening conditions. This comprehensive guide is designed to assist clinicians, researchers, and students in understanding and treating catatonia. It navigates through the history of the condition, exploring its phenomenology, clinical manifestations and pathophysiology, before delving into effective treatment strategies. By providing a clear and thorough overview, this guide simplifies the recognition of catatonia and promotes prompt and accurate treatment, encouraging future research endeavours in catatonia.
The Drosophila Model in Cancer
This volume brings together a series of review articles that highlight new advances in using the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, to study a wide range of cancer-related topics. Building on the foundation of Volume I, the articles demonstrate how research in Drosophila continues to uncover important developmental, cellular, and molecular mechanisms underlying tumor growth, progression, and systemic interactions. Readers will appreciate how the fly's simple genetics and powerful experimental tools make it a flexible and effective model for studying cancer. Drosophila offers unique opportunities to answer key questions about how uncontrolled cell proliferation begins and progresses into cancer--questions that can be very difficult to explore in other systems. This book is a valuable resource for researchers interested in using the Drosophila model to better understand cancer biology and to help find new strategies to combat this disease.
