CREEPING CADENCE ----This text covers a time during which I was losing my sanity, but expresses an important idealism and sense of aesthetic, some of which has remained with me... Largely the text accounts of how schizophrenia might be an intellectual ailment... What is expressed is as much a search for complexity as it is a search for organization---- CADENCE CONTINUES... ===The second document was formed on an intuition that my mental state had changed, around the period of my attempt at college ... and initial diagnosis... The very end of this material, before the post-script, occurred after my diagnosis... The poetry journal / diary occurs during a period of unmedicated schizophrenia; Some thoughts are concatenated, others seem to meet up with some kind of tension or pain; But the poems occasionally reach the power I intend to imbibe them with===

Rick and Brenda's lives were changed forever when Rick went to the doctor to get a prescription refill. The doctor unexpectedly decided to perform a prostate exam. When he did, he felt a suspicious lump. Weeks later, a biopsy confirmed that Rick had prostate cancer. As a couple, they found their lives changed in unexpected ways following robotic surgery. They decided to share an intimate glimpse into their lives after surgery so other couples would be more prepared than they were. If you are thinking about surgery, or if you just had surgery, you will want to read about their experiences and the life lessons they learned along the way.

The National Institutes of Health Publication 09-4016, "Your Guide to Diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2," addresses diabetes and how you can learn how to take care of your diabetes and how to prevent some of the serious problems that diabetes can cause. You may want to share this booklet with your family and friends so they too will understand more about diabetes and how they can help you live a healthy life. And remember, you can always ask your health care team any questions you might have. Diabetes means your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. Your blood always has some glucose in it because your body needs glucose for energy to keep you going. But too much glucose in the blood isn't good for your health. Glucose comes from the food you eat and is also made in your liver and muscles. Your blood carries the glucose to all the cells in your body. Insulin is a chemical, also called a hormone, made by the pancreas. The pancreas releases insulin into the blood. Insulin helps the glucose from food get into your cells. If your body doesn't make enough insulin, or if the insulin doesn't work the way it should, glucose can't get into your cells. It stays in your blood instead. Your blood glucose level then gets too high, causing prediabetes or diabetes. This book will help you to learn the things you can do each day and during each year to stay healthy and prevent diabetes problems.

Uncommon gastrointestinal diseases are a worrisome and challenging problem for gastroenterologists and GI Pathologists. In this book, the authors present research in the study of the epidemiology, management and prevention of uncommon gastrointestinal diseases (eg: isolated gastroduodenal Crohn's disease, primary lymphangiectasis of intestine, microscopic colitis, eosinophilic gastroenteritis, solitary rectal ulcer syndrome and primary splenic epithelial cysts). This book is definitely useful for gastroenterologists and GI pathologists for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of these uncommon conditions.

Health information technology is providing patients, clinicians, and researchers with access to data that will enable novel approaches to science and medicine. Digital health records (DHRs) are capable of being shared across different health care settings for the examination of possible trends and long-term changes in a patient's disease progression or status as well as the effectiveness of the health care delivery system. While prevalence of paper records remains high, there has been a rapid trend toward the digitalization of medical and health records in many countries. DHRs are widely viewed as essential for improving health, reducing medical errors, and lowering costs. However, given that these databases have the potential to house the complete medical and health information of individuals, the potential misuse, de-identification or breaching of this data may have serious implications. On July 20, 2015, the Institute of Medicine's Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders held a public session at the 2015 Alzheimer's Association International Conference to assess the impact of DHRs on Alzheimer's disease (AD) research. An estimated 46.8 million people worldwide are currently living with dementia, and the prevalence is expected to double every year for the next 20 years. Given the few therapies currently available to treat the symptoms of AD, compared to other central nervous system disorders, participants explored how DHRs may be used to help improve clinical trial design and methodology for AD research. This report summarizes the presentations and discussions from this workshop.

The National Institutes of Health Publication 11-2059, Taking Time: Support for People with Cancer, addresses the millions of Americans alive today who have a history of cancer. It addresses the feeling and concerns of people with cancer and their families. For them, cancer has become a chronic (on-going) health problem, like high blood pressure or diabetes. Just like everyone, people who have cancer must get regular checkups for the rest of their lives, even after treatment ends. But unlike other chronic health problems, if you have cancer you probably won't need to take medicine or eat special foods once you have finished treatment. If you have cancer, you may notice every ache, pain, or sign of illness. Even little aches may make you worry. You may even think about dying. While it's normal to think these thoughts, it's also important to focus on living. Although some people do die of it, many with the disease are treated successfully. Others will live a long time before dying from it. So, try to make the most of each day while living with cancer and its treatment. This book was written to help you learn from other people with cancer. Many people have helped write this book-patients, their family members, and friends. You will see their comments in all sections of the book. Finding out how others respond to cancer might help you understand your own feelings. And learning how others manage the special problems that cancer brings might help you find ways to cope with the problems that come along for you.
