The Expressive Use of Masks Across Cultures and Healing Arts explores the interplay between masks and culture and their therapeutic use in the healing arts such as music, art, dance/movement, drama, play, bibliotherapy, and intermodal.Each section of the book focuses on a different context, including viewing masks through a cultural lens, masks at play, their role in identity formation (persona and alter ego), healing the wounds from negative life experiences, from the protection of medical masks to helping the healing process, and from expressions of grief to celebrating life stories. Additionally, the importance of cultural sensitivity, including the differences between cultural appreciation and appropriation, is explored. Chapters are written by credentialed therapists to provide unique perspectives on the personal and professional use of masks in the treatment of diverse populations in a variety of settings. A range of experiences are explored, from undergraduate and graduate students to early professionals and seasoned therapists.The reader will be able to adapt and incorporate techniques and directives presented in these chapters. Readers are encouraged to explore their own cultural heritage, to find their authentic voice, as well as learn how to work with clients who have different life experiences.

Menopause is a period of life, just like infancy, puberty, and sexual maturity. During menopause, the amount of follicles in the ovariesdecreases and with that estrogen production decreases. Over time, estrogen production ceases and the ovaries shrink. Accordingly, the menstrual cycle is interrupted and reproductive ability is lost. The word menopause derives from the Greek words mens (month) and pause (stop). The World Health Organization defines menopause as the permanent cessation of the menstrual cycle as a result of the ovaries losing their activity. This book provides an up-to-date perspective on the management of clinical conditions that can occur in the premenopausal and postmenopausal period. The clinical symptoms that affect all body systems during this period in the woman's life and the possible concerns about how to face it, as well as clinical approaches are discussed. It aims to better understand these clinical situations and to offer correct solutions in approaching these problems. It also focuses on the potential impact of preventive medicine on improving women's health and quality of life. It covers a wide range of topics such as fertility, climacteric and menopausal symptoms, breast disease, psychosomatic conditions, genitourinary health, bone health, and the physiopathology and treatments of many clinical conditions, especially in premenopausal and premenopausal women. This book, which covers all aspects of menopause and aims to provide up-to-date information on its management, will be an invaluable resource for gynecologists, endocrinologists and doctors.

Because lithium is the least dense elemental metal, materials scientists and engineers have been working for decades to develop a commercially viable aluminum-lithium (Al-Li) alloy that would be even lighter and stiffer than other aluminum alloys. The first two generations of Al-Li alloys tended to suffer from several problems, including poor ductility and fracture toughness; unreliable properties, fatigue and fracture resistance; and unreliable corrosion resistance. Now, new third generation Al-Li alloys with significantly reduced lithium content and other improvements are promising a revival for Al-Li applications in modern aircraft and aerospace vehicles. Over the last few years, these newer Al-Li alloys have attracted increasing global interest for widespread applications in the aerospace industry largely because of soaring fuel costs and the development of a new generation of civil and military aircraft. This contributed book, featuring many of the top researchers in the field, is the first up-to-date international reference for Al-Li material research, alloy development, structural design and aerospace systems engineering. - Provides a complete treatment of the new generation of low-density AL-Li alloys, including microstructure, mechanical behavoir, processing and applications - Covers the history of earlier generation AL-Li alloys, their basic problems, why they were never widely used, and why the new third generation Al-Li alloys could eventually replace not only traditional aluminum alloys but more expensive composite materials - Contains two full chapters devoted to applications in the aircraft and aerospace fields, where the lighter, stronger Al-Li alloys mean better performing, more fuel-efficient aircraft

The book provides a comprehensive assessment of the multiple contributions of disparities in energy balance and how they affect cancer. this volume should constitute a valuable resource to disparity focused investigators at all levels and serves an important guide to professionals that deal with these issues, especially those who determine and implement policy.

The Journey Through Cancer is an essential guide for all cancer patients, their families, and their loved ones. As a board-certified oncologist, with more than ten years of experience serving as physician, guide, mentor, coach, and friend to thousands of cancer patients and their families, Dr. Jeremy Geffen has learned how cancer often challenges the mind, heart, and spirit of patients and their families as deeply --- if not more deeply --- than it challenges the physical body. Yet this simple truth is often overlooked by Western medicine as it aggressively pursues the best ways to diagnose and treat cancer. Too often physicians focus almost exclusively on the physical dimensions of the disease, rather than caring for the whole person who has the disease. Dr. Geffen presents a groundbreaking seven-level program, used at his cancer center in Florida, that addresses every dimension of the person with cancer--physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual: Education and Information, giving patients answers to questions about their disease and their treatment options.Psychosocial Support, focusing on the need for and benefits of a strong support network.The Body as Garden, exploring the vast array of alternative and complementary therapies.Emotional Healing, helping patients and families deal with the often overwhelming emotional challenges of cancer.The Nature of Mind, exploring how patients'thoughts and beliefs profoundly influence their journey.Life Assessment, showing patients how to discover their life's deepest meaning and purpose.The Nature of Spirit, connecting patients to the profoundly healing spiritual aspect of life we all share.In The Journey Through Cancer, Dr. Geffen presents a revolutionary model of healing based on the best treatments available from every culture and paradigm of medicine, one that respects and explores every possible avenue and resource for healing and transformation, blending East and West, body and mind, heart and technology, science and spirit.

Desde el año1986, la Comisión de la Especialidad de Aparato Digestivo de nuestro país, a instancias de la Asociación Española de Ecografía Digestiva(AEED) estableció la obligatoriedad de la ecografía en el programa de formación del residente de Aparato Digestivo. Aunque no está concretado el tiempo necesario derotación por la Unidad de Ecografía, parece evidente que al ser una técnica muy explorador dependiente, con una curva de aprendizaje relativamente lenta, este tiempo no debería ser inferior a los seis meses. La importancia de una buena formación ecográfica es fundamental para el gastroenterólogo. La disponibilidad y fiabilidad que implica el que el mismo especialista de aparato digestivo realice la exploración ecográfica de sus enfermos cuyos síntomas conoce en detalle, ofrece una capacidad diagnóstica probablemente superior a la que puedaofrecer otro profesional que lógicamente no tiene los mismos conocimientos clínicos de nuestra especialidad. La elaboración de este Tratado surgió de estanecesidad de formación y actualización ecográfica, que constituye la esencia yel sentido de existir de la AEED y de la conciencia clara de que no existía una publicación que recogiera los diferentes aspectos ecográficos necesarios para un desarrollo integral de nuestra especialidad. El tratado ha sido coordinado en sus diferentes partes por los miembros de la Junta Directiva de la AEED.El Tratado fue concebido con la suficiente amplitud para que sirva como librode aprendizaje o libro de texto y con una distribución que permite su uso como libro de consulta en la práctica diaria.Consta de una parte diagnóstica de ecografía en modo B, en la que nos parecióobligado incluir dos capítulos generales de ecografía urológica y ginecológica, cuyo conocimiento permite al gastroenterólogo evitar consultas ecográficas la mayor parte de las veces innecesarias a otros especialistas. Un tercer capítulo sobre ecografía pediátrica, pretende informar al gastroenterólogo sobre aspectos especiales de la edad pediátrica, aspectos que nos plantean dudas en lapráctica diaria. La segunda parte referida a ecografía Doppler, incluidas uaplicación en el trasplante hepático, se trata con extensión en seis capítulos. La ecografía intervensionista percutánea, se desarrolla en la tercera partedel tratado de una forma eminentemente práctica y comprensible, La última parte del tratado se ha dedicado a la Ultrasonografía endoscópica, cada vez con más auge y trascendencia en nuestra especialidad. Se han incluido en esta parteaspectos novedosos de diagnóstico con minisondas, y un capítulo sobre elastografía ecoendoscópica, técnica que ha demostrado su importancia en el diagnóstico diferencial incruento entre patología inflamatoria y tumoral pancreática, yque sin duda tendrá un importante desarrollo en el futuro.INDICE RESUMIDO: Principio físicos de Ecografía. Anatomía Ecográfica y seccional del abdomen. Lesiones focales hepáticas. Ecografía de la vesícula y las vías biliares. Ecografía del páncreas y su patología.

This four-volume reference work builds upon the success of past editions of Elsevier's Corrosion title (by Shreir, Jarman, and Burstein), covering the range of innovations and applications that have emerged in the years since its publication. Developed in partnership with experts from the Corrosion and Protection Centre at the University of Manchester, Shreir's Corrosion meets the research and productivity needs of engineers, consultants, and researchers alike. - Incorporates coverage of all aspects of the corrosion phenomenon, from the science behind corrosion of metallic and non-metallic materials in liquids and gases to the management of corrosion in specific industries and applications - Features cutting-edge topics such as medical applications, metal matrix composites, and corrosion modeling - Covers the benefits and limitations of techniques from scanning probes to electrochemical noise and impedance spectroscopy

Not long ago, a cancer diagnosis was regarded as an automatic death sentence; today there are ten million survivors. Equally impressive is the growing number of clinicians and researchers dedicated to improving the quality of survivors'lives and care. Yet despite this encouraging picture, there has never been a reliable central source for relevant clinical information – till now. The Handbook on Cancer Survivorship responds to the diverse needs of survivors and their support communities by comprehensively addressing the major issues in the field, from the burden of survivorship to secondary prevention. Editor Michael Feuerstein, himself a cancer survivor, and sixty other top scientist-practitioners analyze in depth how survivors meet and manage the challenges of life after cancer, and what clinicians, researchers, and public health systems can do to ease the transition. The Handbook's 27 comprehensive chapters include the latest research and practice related to: Survivors'quality of life, and how it can be assessed; Managing everyday and chronic stress; Depression, anxiety, pain disorders, and cognitive changesCoping, adaptation, and resilience; Behavior change strategies – exercise, weight control, smoking cessation; Cancer survivorship centers and other models for follow-up care; Survivor, clinician, and international perspectives; New frontiers in practice, research, and policy. Such wide-ranging coverage benefits everyone involved in cancer survival: primary care providers, oncologists; behavioral health specialists; physical and occupational therapists; nutritionists; epidemiologists; health systems professionals and policymakers; and, of course, survivors themselves and their families.

Nutritional oncology is an increasingly active interdisciplinary field where cancer is investigated as both a systemic and local disease originating with the changes in the genome and progressing through a multi-step process which may be influenced at many points in its natural history by nutritional factors that could impact the prevention of cancer, the quality of life of cancer patients, and the risk of cancer recurrence in the rapidly increasing population of cancer survivors.Since the first edition of this book was published in 1999, the idea that there is a single gene pathway or single drug will provide a cure for cancer has given way to the general view that dietary/environmental factors impact the progression of genetic and cellular changes in common forms of cancer. This broad concept can now be investigated within a basic and clinical research context for specific types of cancer. This book attempts to cover the current available knowledge in this new field of nutritional oncology written by invited experts. This book attempts to provide not only the theoretical and research basis for nutritional oncology, but will offer the medical oncologist and other members of multidisciplinary groups treating cancer patients practical information on nutrition assessment and nutritional regimens, including micronutrient and phytochemical supplementation. The editors hope that this volume will stimulate increased research, education and patient application of the principles of nutritional oncology.NEW TO THIS EDITION:• Covers hot new topics of nutrigenomics and nutrigenetics in cancer cell growth • Includes new chapters on metabolic networks in cancer cell growth, nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics• Presents substantially revised chapters on breast cancer and nutrition, prostate cancer and nutrition, and colon cancer and nutrition• Includes new illustrations throughout the text, especially in the breast cancer chapter• Includes integrated insights into the unanswered questions and clearly defined objectives of research in nutritional oncology • Offers practical guidelines for clinicians advising malnourished cancer patients and cancer survivors on diet, nutrition, and lifestyle • Provides information on the role of bioactive substances, dietary supplements, phytochemicals and botanicals in cancer prevention and treatment

“..it is increasingly clear that cancer is also a disease of inertia. In this book, a broadly multidisciplinary group presents the evidence and provides the recommendations. … The antidote to diseases of inertia is movement — let's move!” John Potter, M.D.,Ph.D., from the Foreword The American Cancer Society estimates that a third of all cancer deaths could be prevented through avoidance of obesity and the rejection of sedentary lifestyles. The World Health Organization also supports this claim. Additionally, these and other organizations now recognize the role that activity can play in improving the quality of life for cancer patients. Cancer Prevention and Management through Exercise and Weight Control provides us with the support necessary to make a call to action. It brings together the contributions of world-class researchers to lay out the evidence and a plan of attack for coping with this crisis. The text begins by focusing on the research methods used in assessing the complex associations between activity, energy balance, and risk and prognosis. In comprehensive literature reviews, the authors consider the role of physical activity in the incidence of individual cancers, then explore the mechanisms that might explain this connection. They continue with a look at the relation between weight and cancer incidence, including a consideration of genetics. Research is also provided linking physical activity and weight control to a cancer patient's quality of life and prognosis. The work concludes with ideas on how a plan of action might be implemented at the individual, clinical, and public health levels. It also provides guidance on incorporating exercise and diet recommendations into clinical oncology practice.

Increase your survival odds by creating and following an exercise program that counteracts the side effects of your treatment, speeds your recovery, and reduces your risk of recurrence. Most cancer patients and survivors think that'rest'will decrease their fatigue and speed their recovery. But in fact, rest can make patients weak and debilitated during treatment and may prolong hospitalization. Based on Dr. Anna Schwartz's research and her life's work as a nurse and a coach, Cancer Fitness offers cancer patients and survivors comprehensive advice and an easy step-by-step program to begin improving their physical and emotional health and reclaiming their lives beyond cancer. Through exercise, patients will regain some control over their body, manage side effects more successfully, and increase their body's ability to heal. Cancer Fitness provides clear directions to safely start an exercise program, and the tools to make exercise a long-lasting lifestyle change to heal body and soul.
