Download or read book ERCP and EUS written by Linda S. Lee and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-06-13 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text provides a comprehensive review of ERCP and EUS and the clinical conditions for which they are employed. Presented in a case-based format with accompanying videos, it will serve as a valuable practical clinical resource for gastroenterologists with an interest in ERCP and EUS. The text highlights major techniques involved in ERCP, reviews complications and recent data on preventing post-ERCP pancreatitis, and discusses important issues in training in ERCP including use of endoscopic simulators and assessment of competency as emphasized in the new ACGME guidelines. For biliary diseases, new techniques for managing biliary stones, novel technologies for diagnosing indeterminate biliary strictures, and new devices for treating benign and malignant strictures are also highlighted. For pancreatic diseases, advances in minimally invasive endoscopic techniques for pancreatic stones and strictures, and management of the complications of pancreatitis are reviewed. Furthermore, ERCP is not limited by age, pregnancy or history of abdominal surgeries and special considerations particular to these patient populations are also discussed. The EUS chapters review the breadth of equipment available for performing EUS and EUS-FNA, detail the technique of performing EUS-FNA, and explore pertinent issues with training and assessing competency analogous to ERCP training. Valuable insights on the basics of cytopathology relevant to the endosonographer are summarized. The classic indication for EUS of staging luminal cancers is examined in detail while pancreaticobiliary indications are discussed highlighting newer adjunctive technologies including elastography and contrast-enhanced EUS. Although in its infancy, the brave new world of therapeutic EUS is explored with a focus on endoscopic necrosectomy, EUS-guided biliary and pancreatic access as well as the exciting possibilities of EUS-guided radiofrequency ablation and injection of anti-tumor agents. ERCP and EUS: A Case Based Approach will serve as a very useful resource for physicians who perform or refer patients for ERCP and EUS. It provides a concise yet comprehensive summary of the current status of ERCP and EUS that will help guide patient management and stimulate clinical research. ​

Download or read book Predisposed written by John R. Hibbing and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-23 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buried in many people and operating largely outside the realm of conscious thought are forces inclining us toward liberal or conservative political convictions. Our biology predisposes us to see and understand the world in different ways, not always reason and the careful consideration of facts. These predispositions are in turn responsible for a significant portion of the political and ideological conflict that marks human history. With verve and wit, renowned social scientists John Hibbing, Kevin Smith, and John Alford—pioneers in the field of biopolitics—present overwhelming evidence that people differ politically not just because they grew up in different cultures or were presented with different information. Despite the oft-heard longing for consensus, unity, and peace, the universal rift between conservatives and liberals endures because people have diverse psychological, physiological, and genetic traits. These biological differences influence much of what makes people who they are, including their orientations to politics. Political disputes typically spring from the assumption that those who do not agree with us are shallow, misguided, uninformed, and ignorant. Predisposed suggests instead that political opponents simply experience, process, and respond to the world differently. It follows, then, that the key to getting along politically is not the ability of one side to persuade the other side to see the error of its ways but rather the ability of each side to see that the other is different, not just politically, but physically. Predisposed will change the way you think about politics and partisan conflict. As a bonus, the book includes a "Left/Right 20 Questions" game to test whether your predispositions lean liberal or conservative.

Download or read book Musicophilia written by Oliver Sacks and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2010-02-05 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What goes on in human beings when they make or listen to music? What is it about music, what gives it such peculiar power over us, power delectable and beneficent for the most part, but also capable of uncontrollable and sometimes destructive force? Music has no concepts, it lacks images; it has no power of representation, it has no relation to the world. And yet it is evident in all of us–we tap our feet, we keep time, hum, sing, conduct music, mirror the melodic contours and feelings of what we hear in our movements and expressions. In this book, Oliver Sacks explores the power music wields over us–a power that sometimes we control and at other times don’t. He explores, in his inimitable fashion, how it can provide access to otherwise unreachable emotional states, how it can revivify neurological avenues that have been frozen, evoke memories of earlier, lost events or states or bring those with neurological disorders back to a time when the world was much richer. This is a book that explores, like no other, the myriad dimensions of our experience of and with music.

I, THE LITERATURE WRITER HAD TO BECOME A SPIRITUAL SCIENTIST AND CONTINUE CARL JUNG'S WORK BECAUSE BESIDES BEING THE BEST EXISTENT THERAPY FOR ALL MENTAL ILLNESSES AND EVEN PHYSICAL DISEASES, THE UNCONSCIOUS GUIDANCE IN DREAMS HAS A VERY IMPORTANT RELIGIOUS MEANING.THE UNCONSCIOUS WISDOM HELPS US ELIMINATE ALL SINS AND BEGIN A NEW LIFE, FAR FROM WICKEDNESS. MY SCIENTIFIC STUDIES SIMPLY COMPLETED THE RESEARCH I WAS MAKING THROUGH LITERATURE AND PHILOSOPHY FROM THE TIME I LEARNED HOW TO THINK AND I STARTED WRITING MY FIRST POEMS, STORIES, AND PHILOSOPHICAL CONCLUSIONS. MY WRITINGS WERE INSPIRED BY THE UNCONSCIOUS MIND, WHICH ALSO GIVES US ARTISTIC TALENTS, AND METAPHYSICAL OVER RELIGIOUS AND PHILOSOPHICAL INCLINATIONS, BESIDES PRODUCING OUR DREAMS. SCIENCE GIVES US SO MANY EXPLANATIONS ABOUT OUR REALITY THAT IT IS CONSIDERED AS A SOURCE THAT PROVIDES US WITH THE BEST PROOF WE COULD HAVE ABOUT THE VERACITY OF OUR CONCLUSIONS. YOU STILL NEED RELIGION, PHILOSOPHY, AND ART IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND YOUR COMPLEX REALITY. SCIENCE IS NOT ENOUGH; IT CANNOT SHOW YOU EVERYTHING YOU MUST KNOW IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THE MULTIDIMENSIONAL TRUTH OF OUR UNIVERSE, MULTIVERSE, METAVERSE, XENOVERSE, OMNIVERSE, ALPHAVERSE, AND OMEGAVERSE. THIS MEANS THAT THE MATERIALISTIC MINDSET OF THE CURRENT CIVILIZATION DOESN'T HELP YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR REALITY. THE UNCONSCIOUS MIND THAT PRODUCES YOUR DREAMS IS THE GOD YOU FIRST MET IN YOUR FIRST RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCES. SOME PEOPLE STILL ONLY BELIEVE WHAT THEY WERE TAUGHT IN SUNDAY SCHOOL AND CHURCH IN AMERICA. PLEASE JOIN US IN THE ASCENSION CENTER OF THE ASCENSION AGE OF 2012 & BEYOND IN OUR BECOMING MORE FOR THE HEALTH AND PROSPERITY FOR ALL. WE NOW SHARE SUSTAINABILITY OF OUR PLANET AND SPECIES TOGETHER AS ONE GLOBAL BRAIN.

Download or read book Human Errors written by Nathan H. Lents and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biology professor’s “funny, fascinating” tour of the physical imperfections—from faulty knees to junk DNA—that make us human (Discover). We humans like to think of ourselves as highly evolved creatures. But if we are supposedly evolution’s greatest creation, why do we have such bad knees? Why do we catch head colds so often—two hundred times more often than a dog does? How come our wrists have so many useless bones? Why is the vast majority of our genetic code pointless? And are we really supposed to swallow and breathe through the same narrow tube? Surely there’s been some kind of mistake? As professor of biology Nathan H. Lents explains in Human Errors, our evolutionary history is indeed nothing if not a litany of mistakes, each more entertaining and enlightening than the last. The human body is one big pile of compromises. But that is also a testament to our greatness: as Lents shows, humans have so many design flaws precisely because we are very, very good at getting around them. A rollicking, deeply informative tour of humans’ four-billion-year-and-counting evolutionary saga, Human Errors both celebrates our imperfections and offers an unconventional accounting of the cost of our success. “An insightful and entertaining romp through the myriad ways in which the human body falls short of an engineering ideal—and the often-surprising reasons why.” —Ian Tattersall, author of The Monkey in the Mirror
