The book describes Dr. Sevelius' long career as medical scientist, pursuing specifically what can be learned from a radiocardiogram (RCG), the recording through the skin of the heart flow, the cardiac output (CO), the most fundamental of all body functions. The RCG has been slow in acceptance in clinical medicine. One worry has been the radiation. The radiation is approximately one-third that of a chest x-ray and should be of minor concern with proper education. Another difficulty is how to interpret the results. Other techniques for CO measurements have had similar problems, not because the techniques were wrong but because the interpretation was based on wrong premises with too wide a standard deviation for proper diagnosis in clinical work.Dr. Sevelius introduces two new assessments: hemodynamic and metabolic. With these interpretations the heart as a pump is first judged according to the size of simultaneously measured blood volume it has to pump and second, separately, as to how large a body the heart has to supply with oxygen. The hemodynamic evaluation of the heart flow is found to be a good predictor to a within six-month pending heart attack. This would make the RCG an exceptionally simple and useful tool for diagnosis in clinical medicine.This book collects Dr. Sevelius' work in digital format to make it easily available. It is Dr. Sevelius' hope that his work will inspire some young scientists to follow up his work because of its wide application in modern medicine.

I think I’m in love with my brother’s wife. What should I do? A collection of the weirdest and wildest questions sent to Slate’s longtime agony aunt, internet darling Daniel M.

Ok, you have just hit 30, or even 40 or 50, what's next? Do you simply accept that aging and becoming infirm is inevitable or do you get up off your backside and do something about it? For me, growing old and infirm has never been an option. I watched my grandparents; uncles & aunts and parents all suffer from declining health and loss of mobility due to inactivity. As an adult, reaching 30 and 40 years of age, I was shocked to discover that most of my former school mates had turned into old men and women. Not for me! I made the decision to stay active, healthy, fit and strong for as long as I possibly could and so the essence of this book was born.

Always wanted to know exactly what carrier oils are? What kind of oils, which are also called as base oils, are being used to dilute another type of oil that is called the essential oil? Why it is important to mix carrier oils with essential oils? And if done wrong the affects it could have on one's health! Did you know Carrier oils also require a specific method of growing since they have to be as pure as possible? You have to make sure that the carrier oils that you use are organically grown-not artificially grown wherein chemicals have already been applied-and cold pressed. Because carrier oils are being mixed with essential oils for aromatherapy (which of course involves the human skin) so they are going to be absorbed by the human body. Therefore, it is important that the oils you use are organic and pure so that there will not be any unwanted substances that will be absorbed by the skin along with these oils. |
