From Perception to Pleasure
Why do we love music? What enables us to create it, perceive it, and enjoy it? In From Perception to Pleasure, Robert Zatorre provides answers to these questions from the perspective of cognitive neuroscience, explaining how we get from perception of sound patterns to pleasurable responses. The book is organized around a central thesis: that pleasure in music arises from interactions between cortical loops that enable processing of sound patterns, and subcortical circuits responsible for reward and valuation. This model integrates knowledge derived from basic neuroscience of the auditory system and of reward mechanisms with the concept that perception and pleasure depend on mechanisms of prediction, anticipation, and valuation. The first part of the book describes the pathways to and from the auditory cortex that generate internal representations of musical structure at different levels of abstraction, which then interact with memory, sensory-motor, and other cognitive mechanisms that are essential to perceive and produce music. The second part of the book focuses on the functional anatomy of the dopaminergic reward system; its involvement in musical pleasure; the links between prediction, surprise, and complexity; and what happens when the system is disrupted. The book is richly illustrated to help the reader follow the scientific findings. Most of all, From Perception to Pleasure provides an integrative model for a large body of scientific knowledge that explains how patterns of abstract sounds can generate profoundly moving hedonic experiences.

Realist Trials and Systematic Reviews
This book describes an innovative approach to the evaluation of complex health interventions, assessing what interventions work, how and for whom. Rejecting the stalemate between trials and realist evaluation, it draws on the best of both. Randomised controlled trials and systematic reviews offer the least biased means of assessing intervention effects but tell us little scientifically about how interventions work. Policy-makers and practitioners are also not supported to decide which interventions are likely to achieve most benefits in their local contexts. Realists use other forms of evaluation and evidence synthesis exploring how intervention mechanisms interact with context to generate outcomes. But these approaches lack rigour in assessing causality. This book proposes how realist evaluation methods may be incorporated within randomised controlled trials and systematic reviews. This enables evaluations and evidence synthesis to benefit from the more nuanced questions posed within realist enquiry while maintaining rigour in assessing causality.
Blind Vision
An investigation of the effects of blindness and other types of visual deficit on cognitive abilities. Can a blind person see? The very idea seems paradoxical. And yet, if we conceive of "seeing" as the ability to generate internal mental representations that may contain visual details, the idea of blind vision becomes a concept subject to investigation. In this book, Zaira Cattaneo and Tomaso Vecchi examine the effects of blindness and other types of visual deficit on the development and functioning of the human cognitive system. Drawing on behavioral and neurophysiological data, Cattaneo and Vecchi analyze research on mental imagery, spatial cognition, and compensatory mechanisms at the sensorial, cognitive, and cortical levels in individuals with complete or profound visual impairment. They find that our brain does not need our eyes to "see." Cattaneo and Vecchi address critical questions of broad importance: the relationship of visual perception to imagery and working memory and the extent to which mental imagery depends on normal vision; the functional and neural relationships between vision and the other senses; the specific aspects of the visual experience that are crucial to cognitive development or specific cognitive mechanisms; and the extraordinary plasticity of the brain--as illustrated by the way that, in the blind, the visual cortex may be reorganized to support other perceptual or cognitive funtions. In the absence of vision, the other senses work as functional substitutes and are often improved. With Blind Vision, Cattaneo and Vecchi take on the "tyranny of the visual," pointing to the importance of the other senses in cognition.
The Healing Power of Resilience
A revolutionary, science-backed approach to living well from ABC News chief medical correspondent and cardiologist Dr. Tara Narula, that bridges the gap between our physical and mental health to show how resilience is the key to both. As the number one leading cause of death in the United States, heart disease has several common prescriptions from cardiologists, such as medication, surgery, diet, and exercise. There is, however, one treatment that is consistently overlooked: resilience. We need resilience to get us to face new diagnoses, to show up to doctor's appointments, to take those medications, to make it through surgery (and to recover from it), and to stick to that diet or new workout plan. That's where this paradigm-shifting book comes in, connecting the worlds of medicine and psychology. Its application goes beyond heart disease to other difficult diagnoses and traumatic health events, and overall well-being. Over the course of her decades-long career as a board-certified cardiologist and journalist, Dr. Narula noticed there was something missing in patient care: the need to address mental health alongside physical health. To thrive when faced with a medical challenge, a patient must be mentally prepared to face it. This realization transformed Dr. Narula's career and led her down an eye-opening path, studying landmark medical trials and the latest advancements in the field as well as interviewing patients, doctors, researchers, and thought leaders. The Healing Power of Resilience is the culmination of this work, offering practical tools to build your resilience, which Dr. Narula calls the "Resilience Response." Challenging situations can lead to a stress reaction in the body. Learning to practice the "Resilience Response" when that happens can mitigate it, and therefore help prevent disease, promote healing, and improve quality of life. This set of tools leads you to the following: an acceptance of your situation; a flexible mindset; a change in lifestyle; an ability to face fears; a pursuit of purpose; a hopeful outlook on the future; a commitment to seeking connection; embracing a love of self and others. Through scientific research, pioneering medical journalism, and personal stories, this book presents a revolutionary new approach to living well--whether you're facing a health challenge or simply striving for a healthier life at any age.

Breathing Lessons
Every day, our lungs circulate 11,000 liters of air, provide us with life-sustaining oxygen, and allow us to speak, sing, and smell. It's no secret that our lungs are one of our most vital organs, and yet most of us pay them little attention. The COVID-19 pandemic, however, has reminded us of the importance of our lungs, and sparked interest in their function and the risks they face.In Breathing Lessons, leading pulmonologist and national spokesperson for the American Lung Association Dr. MeiLan K. Han takes readers on a fascinating tour of this neglected yet crucial organ. Han explains the wonder of breathing and reveals how the lungs serve as the body's first line of defense. She provides a timely overview of the latest scientific thinking about the leading respiratory risks--including indoor and outdoor pollution, smoking and vaping, wildfire smoke, and viruses like SARS-CoV-2--and offers practical advice on how to protect the lungs at each stage of our lives, beginning in the womb. She outlines the major categories of chronic lung disease and demystifies the process lung doctors go through in making a diagnosis and recommending treatments. With authority as both practitioner and medical researcher, Han argues powerfully for social policies that make preserving lung health a national priority. Breathing Lessons is a rallying cry for lung health and an urgent call to start giving our lungs the attention they deserve.

Gastric Bypass Diet
Did you know that, based on the data released by the CDC National Center for Health Statistics, 42.4% of Americans are obese?Unfortunately, this condition is associated with several health risks, such as end-stage renal disease, coronary heart disease, stroke, some cancers, and type 2 diabetes.Why do people become obese anyway?According to the US National Institutes of Health, intrinsic (i.e. genetics and health condition) and extrinsic (i.e. environment, food, physical activity, medications, stress, poor sleep, emotions) factors may lead to obesity. Eventually, posing risks to one's health.In most cases, obesity can be reverted through intense diet planning and lifestyle modification such as controlling food portions, renewing dietary habits, and engaging in more physical activities.However, when more serious health risks arise that cannot be managed by diet and exercise alone, you can opt for gastric bypass surgery which will help you lose weight faster. This surgery will make your stomach smaller, making you full faster with less food intake.Gastric bypass surgery involves modifying your stomach and small intestine. This means that you will not be able to absorb everything you ingest, which is why it is important for you to follow a pre-op and post-op diet.The pre-operative diet will prepare the patient for the surgery and will develop habits that he/she will need to survive the adjustment period after the surgery. Whereas, the post-operative diet is meant to help the patient recover and reintroduce food.If you have plans on doing this surgery, you have come to the right place! In this guide, you will discover the following: What the gastric bypass surgery is all about.Different diet phases before and after the surgery.Free meal plans to help you visualize your supposed eating pattern.Lifestyle changes to expect and do when the surgery is over.
Living and Loving with Parkinson's Disease
Annie and Rolf Lulloff were entering an exciting stage of life in 1976 when the first signs of health issues that lie ahead for Annie began to emerge. A sudden loss of sense of smell, severe anxiety attacks, vision issues, and other neurological challenges piled up, eventually culminating in a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease on New Year's Eve, 1989.But the Lulloffs were not about to let Parkinson's get the best of them. They cultivated a special relationship as care partners while enjoying life to its fullest over the next thirty-one years. Their commitment to experiencing all that life has to offer strengthened their bond and established them as examples for others going through similar journeys.Living and Loving with Parkinson's Disease is part love story and part how-to guide for all participants in a care partnership. Care persons, their spouses, and extended family and friends will benefit from the tips and care suggestions Rolf has compiled from his front-row seat to the ever-changing road that is a Parkinson's disease journey."The sense of despair that often accompanies the loss of control from Parkinson's can be overwhelming. Rolf and Annie Lulloff are great examples of how focusing on love and resilience makes it possible to enjoy a fulfilling quality of life."-Ann McKee, MD, director of the Boston University CTE Center and UNITE brain bank
Overcoming Chronic Digestive Conditions
A holistic approach for healing trauma stored in the gut - Explains how and why emotions and trauma are stored in the gut, causing digestive issues and visceral tensions - Presents recent research that enriches our understanding of the gut as a center of emotional and spiritual growth - Shares a hands-on process of listening to the gut layer by layer to help heal gut issues, renew the microbiome, and release intergenerational trauma A healthy gut is fundamental to a healthy life. Embedded within our digestive system is the enteric nervous system, our "second brain," which serves to protect us from the external world of adversity, including not only viruses and bacteria but also traumatic events. As Nikki Kenward, CST-D, MCSS, explains, past challenges and traumas, whether emotional or physical, are held in the enteric nervous system in many ways, including fascial tension, cellular changes, and unhelpful "default settings." Exploring in depth what she calls the "Post-Traumatic Gut," Kenward describes the anatomy and physiology of the enteric nervous system, including the polyvagal system, and the many ways that our emotional history and current emotional state can impact our digestive system. Sharing recent research, she describes the science behind the emotional gut and how to apply it to chronic digestive issues like IBS and Crohn's disease as well as mental health issues such as anorexia, bulimia, anxiety, and depression. She explains how and why the digestive gut absorbs emotions and what you can do to heal its functions by addressing psychosomatic stressors, rather than just nutrition. Presenting case studies from her 25 years in clinical practice as well as her own healing journey, she reveals the synchronicity between digestive/metabolic functions and psychological/perceptual insight and how allowing the cells to "speak" through bodywork such as CranioSacral Therapy and SomatoEmotional Release can help renew the microbiome of the second brain, release intergenerational trauma and illness, and restore one's psychospiritual life. Sharing visualization exercises and a hands-on process of listening to the gut layer by layer, the author helps readers unwind stagnant cellular patterns, discover the dynamic intelligence in every cell, and transform Post-Traumatic Gut into Post-Traumatic growth.
Beyond Carrots

Anxiety and Dysautonomia
What causes anxiety to be so prevalent in so many people? How is it best prevented and treated? What can patients and physicians do to better understand this common medical issue? Anxiety is a component of many physical and mental disorders, from depression to PTSD. Unfortunately, not many patients find relief in the associated therapies and medications, and simply adding more of the same often causes other disorders. Additionally, many who suffer from anxiety may in fact have other, anxiety-like conditions, such as the frequently misdiagnosed postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), which can make any attempt at treatment futile. But now, with Anxiety and Dysautonomia: Do I Have POTS or Autonomic Dysfunction?, Donald J. Parker and physicians Joseph Colombo and Nicholas L. DePace aim to show, with a simplified analysis and discussion focusing on this common patient complaint and how best to treat it, that no longer does anxiety need to be merely managed with the forced lifestyle changes that are often required. Topics covered include: ​ Parasympathetic and Sympathetic (P&S) dysfunctions that lead to anxiety-like conditions, plus clear concepts of anxiety and anxiety-like symptoms, the six-pronged Mind-Body Wellness Program, and the P&S nervous systems. How many of these anxiety-like conditions are actually caused by a lack of proper blood flow to the brain, which may cause mild symptoms of depression, fatigue, malaise, brain fog, and cognitive and memory difficulties, sleep difficulties, and more. The way these issues, when exacerbated, may trigger "adrenaline storms" that cycle the anxiety-like symptoms. Treatments that in many cases enable a return to a "normal" (as defined by the patient) quality of life, including natural therapies to relieve symptoms and promote wellness. Presenting discussions with patients and doctors side-by-side to help physicians see how to present information to their patients and patients to learn what physicians need to know to tailor therapy to their individual needs, Anxiety and Dysautonomia is an essential resource for anyone concerned with anxiety and anxiety-like disorders, from medical professionals to patients to family and friends.

Healthcare Service Quality and Patient Satisfaction in Omani Public Hospitals Throughout Covid-19 Era
Healthcare quality (HQ) became eminent during the COVID-19 crisis. Despite the efforts made by the Ministry of Health in Oman, the country faced several challenges, such as a lack of available funds and patients perceived in a negative manner which hindered their treatment experience. The study examines factors affecting HQ using the SERVQUAL model; patient satisfaction in Omani public hospitals, including healthcare quality, resources availability (RA), and healthcare facility preparedness (HFP); and the moderation effect of the perceived risk of COVID-19 pandemic. This research uses a mixed method with a sample size of 387 patients (quantitatively) selected using probability random sampling of 8 patients (qualitatively) who visited public hospitals The findings from the quantitative analysis reveals that the tangibility and RA had insignificant effect on the HQ. The moderation effect of perceived risk of COVID-19 between HQ, RA, HFP and patient satisfaction was insignificant. The results of the qualitative analysis indicated other factors that affected patient satisfaction, including communication, helpfulness, compassion, physician professionalism, patient-doctor contact, waiting time, atmosphere, and cleanliness. The study proposed a strategy for technical categories that include professional skills, service outcomes and concrete quality aspects, and functional categories. The study has also recommended implications for further investigation.
