TANG C: Pocket Radiation Oncology

Pocket Radiation Oncology

Time wants you dead. Not just you, but your friends, family, pets - everyone you've ever met...

'A beautifully written book about life and death: busts myths, explores the stories of science and history, and ultimately is rich and uplifting.' Dr Adam Rutherford

With over 17,000 known diseases affecting humans, and countless poisons, carcinogens and toxins in our environment, it's a miracle that our bodies manage to keep us alive. And that is, of course, if they don't betray us themselves, whether through cancers or autoimmune conditions.

Biomedical researcher Professor John Tregoning tells the unlikely story of how, against all odds, we manage to stay alive. Taking an organ-by-organ tour of the human body, Tregoning embarks on his own experimental quest, testing 'life-extending' diets and exercise regimes to separate fact from fad. Exploring the multitude of ways our bodies can kill us, from inherited genetic conditions, through heart attacks, arrythmias and angina, onto the delicate workings of the brain, Live Forever?&nbsp;offers compelling insight into how our bodies work, how we can best look after them - and ultimately live longer, healthier lives.

***

'I heartily recommend this deep dive into wellness... It turns out that none of us are getting out of here alive, but John has bravely put his mind and body on the line to discover the secrets of staying healthy and happy as we get older. A funny, fascinating and educative book.' Ben Willbond, co-creator of Ghosts

'The idea that a book about death and dying could be a delightful read seems ridiculous, and yet John Tregoning has pulled off this trick with humour, flair and elegance.' Nessa Carey, author of The Epigenetics Revolution

'An enjoyable and entertaining mixture of scientific facts about ageing and completely unscientific self-experimentation... recognizing that although none of us will live forever, there are ways we can improve our chances of living well while we are still around.' Dame Sarah Gilbert

A Curious Scientist’s Guide to Wellness, Ageing and Death

Diagnostic Imaging: Cardiovascular

Rare Diseases of the Immune System

<div>
Epigenetics, as well as all -omics fields of study, such as transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics, have caused a revolution in all branches of medicine in recent years. This book provides a detailed evidence-based overview of the latest developments in how the recent acquisitions on the human genome and epigenome is relevant, and how it impacts our understanding of rare diseases of the immune system. The first part features the evolving thread from genetics to epigenetics, their molecular basis, endocrine disruptors, as well as chapters devoted to the fetal programming hypothesis and functional basis of neurodevelopment, and the placenta as originating element. Successive chapters include contributions on the impact of epigenetics on cancer, as well as a comprehensive array of disorders as autoimmune disorders, allergic and metabolic diseases, systemic vasculitis, aging and inflammatory diseases, neurological and psychiatric conditions. The overview closes with considerations on the "-Omics" revolution and precision medicine, and the reflection of epigenetics on the microbiome.
By providing guidance on how the latest information can be applied by the medical practitioner in day-to-day clinical practice, and collating the latest developments in rare diseases treatments to the "omics" that are relevant for the clinician while advocating for a patient-centered approach, Epigenetics and Rare Diseases will be a valued resource for clinicians, healthcare professionals, and patient associations.</div>

Epigenetics and Rare Diseases

This work is intended to be a guide for cardiologists unfamiliar with artificial intelligence, as well as for engineers and data scientists unfamiliar with cardiology. To the best of our knowledge, there is currently a lack of similar work presenting the current state of the art on the use of artificial intelligence-based models in cardiology. Similarly, there is a paucity of texts that thoroughly discuss the pros and cons of using this cutting-edge technology in the field of cardiology, both in routine clinical practice and in the context of research.This volume will be of interest to all those interested in the application of artificial intelligence in the medical field, and specifically in cardiology.

Will we still need cardiologists?

Diagnostic Imaging: Spine

This second edition provides updated recommendations for ultrasound examination of the whole urogenital system. Most of the chapters is updated, with new images and video clips; others are completely rewritten according to recent developments and guidelines. New chapters are added, mainly about in contrast-enhanced ultrasound, fusion transperineal prostate biopsy, focal ablation in prostate cancer, microultrasound and multiparametric US, bladder outlet obstruction, and computerized analysis of ultrasound through artificial neural networks. Coverage includes the role of ultrasound in imaging disorders of the kidneys, urinary tract of the prostate, seminal vesicles, bladder, testicles, and penis, including male infertility disorders. Detailed consideration is given to intraoperative and interventional ultrasound and recently developed ultrasound techniques. Each chapter defines the purpose and indications for ultrasound; identifies its benefits and limitations; specifies technology standards for devices; outlines performance of investigation; establishes the expected accuracy of the differential diagnosis; and indicates the reporting method. Most recommendations are based on literature review; precedent recommendations; and the opinions of the recognized experts, of the Section of Urological Imaging (ESUI), of the European Society of Urology (EAU), of the Italian Society of Integrated Diagnostics in Urology, Andrology, and Nephrology (SIEUN), of the Italian Society of Urology (SIU) and Nephrology (SIN). This book can be of support both to those taking their first steps in the field of ultrasound, and to subject expert and ultrasound experts, who want to clarify some aspects in the field of urinary tract and male genitalia.

Diagnostic Imaging: Genitourinary

The first book to focus on pediatric oncology for pharmacists comes to its second edition. This edition brings updates to include new drugs, approaches, and techniques, as well as new chapters, such as "Post-Pandemic Pediatric Oncology Pharmacy," "Cardiotoxicity in Pediatric Oncohematology," and "Pediatric Oncological and Hematological Treatment of Children in Hormone Therapy for Gender Dysphoria."
 
Publications on chemotherapy in children are still scarce, and pharmacists often struggle to find the information they need because it is spread across many articles, not published, or dispersed among clinical information aimed at other professionals. Pediatric Oncologic Pharmacy is an area where increasingly specific knowledge is required in daily practice. Oncopediatric books do not address topics unique to pharmacy — such as the handling of cytotoxic drugs for children, analysis of oncopediatric prescriptions, clinical pharmacy in oncopediatrics, pharmaceutical care in the oncopediatric area, and other subjects that are of exclusive interest to these professionals, but no less essential for excellent therapy. Addressing this need, the purpose of this second edition is to be an updated guideline for all subjects that pediatric oncology pharmacists need to know to work in this area. 
 
It is an essential guide for pediatric oncology pharmacists, clinical pharmacists, pharmaceutical residents who work with drug therapy in children, and pharmaceutical researchers. It is a handbook to assist in daily practice and is essential to Pediatric Oncology/Hematology Institutions.
