Preemie Voices
The birth of a very premature baby is a shock for parents. The immediate anxiety about whether their infant will survive quickly leads to concerns about their child's future quality of life. In this inspiring and informative book, young people who were born weighing less than two pounds, three ounces provide candid and personal stories about their lives, challenges and accomplishments. Now in their thirties, these men and women were cared for at McMaster University Hospital in Hamilton, Ontario, soon after the introduction of newborn intensive care. Dr. Saroj Saigal, a renowned and award-winning neonatologist at McMaster, adds several chapters that outline the history of neonatology, describes recent medical and technological innovations, and explains how many extremely premature babies go on to enjoy fulfilling lives. Her chapters give the answer of a caring specialist to the inevitable question, "What next?" Written for a lay audience, Preemie Voices will move you to tears of admiration and amazement at the remarkable resilience of these tiny survivors. This unique collection of stories will not only provide encouragement and hope for parents who have given birth to a tiny preemie, but will inspire others who will be in awe at the achievements of these infants - both with and without disabilities - who were born too early.

Understanding Stroke - The Biological Approach
Stroke is a critical medical emergency and a leading cause of disability and death worldwide. Within minutes of the stroke or interruption of the blood supply, the affected cells begin to die, potentially leading to devastating neurological consequences. Understanding Stroke: The Biological Approach explores the science behind stroke, its causes, mechanisms, and management, discussing the biological processes that govern cerebral circulation and mechanisms for repair and recovery potential. The book provides an in-depth look at the biological approach to stroke management, including cellular and molecular mechanisms to understand stroke pathophysiology, from energy failure and excitotoxicity to immune responses and neurodegeneration. Understanding Stroke comprehensively discusses the role of neuropeptides, growth factors, and other biologically active molecules that may aid in brain repair and functional recovery. It also highlights the physiotherapeutic and regenerative strategies, emphasizing the importance of neurorehabilitation techniques, including physiotherapy, brain stimulation, and emerging regenerative medicine approaches to enhance recovery. Next, a post-stroke recovery and rehabilitation chapter examines strategies to maximize neurological function, including dietary interventions, physical activity, cognitive therapy, and assistive technologies. Beyond traditional treatment, Understanding Stroke presents how cutting-edge therapies, including stem cell research, neuroplasticity training, and personalized medicine, transform post-stroke care. With advances in neuroscience and regenerative medicine, there is renewed hope for stroke survivors to regain lost function and improve their quality of life. This book offers an insightful and scientifically backed resource on the biological mechanisms of stroke and the latest advancements in management and rehabilitation.

EaseLife Protocols Volume 1
In this book, Dr. Sujala Ainapure shares protocols for treating several health issues using Acupressure, Acupuncture and Sujok techniques. The protocols were identified during Dr. Ainapure's practice in treating many patients in the long tenure. She was highly impressed and sometimes astonished to see magical results from these protocols. As an allopathic doctor, she has seen patients mainly treated through drugs, diet, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and surgery. However, there are limitations to this approach. All the intricacies of body-mind and health are still not fully understood by Medical Science. As a doctor, she was eager to help all her ailing patients coming with hope. This prompted her to explore other alternate therapies such as Acupressure, Acupuncture and Sujok Therapy. Dr Sujala Ainapure is an eminent allopathic MD doctor with 35+ years of experience. Her broad-minded approach prompts her to explore several alternate and natural ways to heal ailments and promote health. This book is an example of the same. Shilpa Abhyankar is a holistic health and life coach for the last 15 years. She is certified in several natural therapies. Her passion is to guide, treat and empower people in their journey from "Suffering to Smile" combining techniques of Sujok Therapy, Acupressure, Yoga-Meditation, Hypnotherapy, and Ayurvedic Nutrition.
