Cervical Cancer (Deadly Diseases and Epidemics)

Cervical Cancer (Deadly Diseases and Epidemics)
Juliet Spencer | 2007-01-01 00:00:00 | Chelsea House Publications | 128 | Medicine
Cervical cancer starts in a woman's cervix, the lower, narrow part of the uterus. It is the second most common cancer in the world. Because it develops slowly, regular Pap test screenings can help doctors detect the disease early, when it is most easily treated. Although infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) correlates strongly with cervical cancer, there are many factorsâ€”from lifestyle to nutrition to geneticsâ€”that contribute to its development. This concise volume explains the causes, symptoms, progress, and treatment of cervical cancer.

Myocardial Protection

Myocardial Protection
Tomas A.Salerno, Marco Ricci | 2004-01-01 00:00:00 | Blackwell Publishing | 338 | Medicine
Cardiac surgery has undergone major changes in the recent past. With changes came new knowledge, technology and progress, all aimed at providing better care to our patients. Fundamentally, however, cardiac surgery "is myocardial protection," the realization that no matter how perfect the reparative surgery, myocardial function has to be preserved for a short and long-term successful outcome. The pace of technological advancements has accelerated over the last five years, allowing surgeons to perform cardiac surgery differently and more comfortably. For each procedure, there is the need for different technology, such as devices, valves, suture materials, stabilizers, shunts, blowers, and others. One factor, however, has remained constant, i.e. the need for individualization for a specific method of myocardial protection tailored to each operation.

Implanted Antennas in Medical Wireless Communications

Implanted Antennas in Medical Wireless Communications
Yahya Rahmat-Samii and Jaehoon Kim | 2006-01-01 00:00:00 | Morgan & Claypool | 82 | Medicine
The demand to utilize radio frequency antennas inside/outside a human body has risen for
biomedical applications. Most of the research on antennas for medical applications has
focused on producing hyperthermia for medical treatments and monitoring various physiological
parameters. Antennas used to elevate the temperature of cancer tissues are located inside
or outside of the patientâ€™s body, and the shapes of antennas used depend on their locations.
For instance, waveguide or low-profile antennas are externally positioned, and monopole or
dipole antennas transformed from a coaxial cable are designed for internal use [1]. In addition
to medical therapy and diagnosis, telecommunications are regarded as important functions for
implantable medical devices (pacemakers, defibrillators, etc.) which need to transmit diagnostic
information. In contrast to the number of research accomplishments related to hyperthermia,
work on antennas used to build the communication links between implanted devices and exterior
instrument for biotelemetry are not widely reported.

Gut Flora, Nutrition, Immunity and Health

Gut Flora, Nutrition, Immunity and Health
Roy Fuller, Gabriela Perdigon | 2003-01-01 00:00:00 | Blackwell Publishing | 290 | Medicine
It is a self-evident truth that food is essential for the growth and survival of the consumer. However, there are foods which, as well as contributing essential nutrients, also contain additional components which improve disease resistance and general health status over and above that induced by ingestion of conventional foods. The importance of this concept is reflected in the recent development of the so-called functional foods. These can occur naturally or be produced by addition or by modification. They exemplify the relationship that exists between nutrition, gut flora, immunology and health. Some have the capacity to modify the composition or activity of the gut microflora. This, in turn, can modulate the immune system of the gut which has very significant consequences because it accounts for a large proportion of the total immune system of the body. These beneficial effects on the immune response may be manifest as an increase in activity which suppresses pathogens or they may be responsible for down-regulation of the response which will prevent allergic and inflammatory reactions.
