Sleep Medicine is a field that attracts physicians from a variety of clinical backgrounds. As a result, the majority of sleep specialists who interpret sleep studies (PSG) do not have specialized training in neurophysiology and electroencephalography (EEG) interpretation. Given this and the fact that PSGs usually are run at a third of the speed of EEGs and that they usually have a limited array of electrodes, waveforms frequently appear different on the PSGs compared to the EEGs. This can lead to challenges interpreting certain unusual looking activity that may or may not be pathological.

This Atlas of Electroencephalograpy in Sleep Medicine is extensively illustrated and provides an array of examples of normal waveforms commonly seen on PSG, in addition to normal variants, epileptiform and non-epileptiform abnormalities and common artifacts. This resource is divided into five main sections with a range of topics and chapters per section. The sections cover Normal Sleep Stages; Normal Variants; Epileptiform Abnormalities; Non-epileptiform Abnormalities; and Artifacts. Each example includes a brief description of each EEG together with its clinical significance, if any. Setting the book apart from others in the field is the following feature: Each EEG discussed consists of three views of the same page -- one at a full EEG montage with 30mm/sec paper speed, the same montage at 10mm/sec (PSG speed) and a third showing the same thing at 10 mm/sec, but with the abbreviated PSG montage.

Unique and the first resource of its kind in sleep medicine, the Atlas of Electroencephalograpy in Sleep Medicine will greatly assist those physicians and sleep specialists who read PSGs to identify common and unusual waveforms on EEG as they may appear during a sleep study and serve as a reference for them in that capacity.

Visology. The language of the face in health and illness. A complete guide to the reflexological connections between facial zones and internal organs and processes.

How does a person stay upbeat in life when she constantly fears death or other health catastrophes? This humorous, absurd, yet relatable story offers a glimpse into the antics of a hypochondriac; from the rapturous to the downright ugly. She endures dance recitals gone wrong, first love amid the glow of mini golf, living the college dream with waffle batter in her hair, the gut-wrenching loss of her parents, forging lasting love while clinging to a mountain, and starting her own family with a rash so bad she was declared a medical marvel; but shows it's possible to function, succeed and even have fun despite the craziness. About the Author: Kat Spitzer writes the blog, "The Happy Hypochondriac" (www.happyhypochondriac.com). She also writes nonfiction for magazines. The Happy Hypochondriac is her first book. She graduated from Vanderbilt University and Vermont Law School. The word "hypochondriac" appears in all of her medical files. She lives in Maryland, surrounded by her very patient and understanding friends and family.

Modern technology has given rise to electronic medical records, remote monitoring systems, and satellite-enabled real-time examinations in which patient and physician might be separated by thousands of miles. Yet, when it comes to diagnosing difficult cases, the clinician's strongest asset might just be one of the oldest tools of the medical profession-careful listening. True Medical Detective Stories is a fascinating compendium of nineteen true-life medical cases, each solved by clinical deduction and facilitated by careful listening. These accounts present puzzling low-tech cases-most of them serious, some humorous-that were solved either at the bedside or by epidemiological studies. Dr. Clifton Meador's book is a wonderful contribution to the genre of medical detective stories mastered by the legendary Berton Roueche. As a staff writer at The New Yorker from 1944 until his death fifty years later, Roueche popularized this form, which has provided source material for feature films and most recently supplied scenarios featured in medical television dramas, such as House. While Hollywood frequently oversimplifies and elides the real clinical situations, True Medical Detective Stories sets the record straight with a voice of authority and an engaging style rooted in the fact that most of the cases presented involve Dr. Meador's actual patients. Dr. Meador discovered Berton Roueche's writing as a teenager, when he first read Eleven Blue Men. In an astonishing twist of fate, Roueche, in later years, traveled to Nashville to meet with Dr. Meador and discuss one of his cases, with Roueche's account published posthumously under the title, The Man Who Grew Two Breasts. In a fitting tribute to Roueche, this perplexing case is revisited by Dr. Meador in the opening chapter of this highly enjoyable book. True Medical Detective Stories is a captivating read that will keep you marveling over the idiosyncrasies of the human body and the ingenuity of the human mind.

The purpose of the SANE/SAFE Forensic Workbook Series: Advanced-Level Adolescent and Adult Sexual Assault Assessment is to provide an opportunity for health care providers to learn, improve, and demonstrate competency in sexual assault evaluations of adolescents and adults. This workbook answers a pressing need for educational tools devoted to enabling those who work with sexual assault patients to recognise and understand anatomy and injury in sexual assault cases. The Advanced- Level Adolescent and Adult Sexual Assault Assessment can be used to document the competency of various health care providers, which include physicians and nurses from military, nursing, and medical schools. This is the ultimate self-study resource on sexual assault and is accredited through Saint Louis University's School of Medicine and School of Nursing to provide CME/CNE credit(s). Ten case studies help the student identify areas of weakness and strength, providing a roadmap for learning. Management will want to use Advanced-Level Adolescent and Adult Sexual Assault Assessment as a tool to evaluate competency in adolescent and adult sexual assault care for performance standards and evaluations. The workbook contains critical thinking activities and photographic references. The Advanced-Level Adolescent and Adult Sexual Assault Assessment will enhance learning for the novice and will also support the experienced examiner's skill set. Future workbooks will cover topics such as intimate partner violence, paediatric anatomy and sexual abuse, elder sexual assault, and more. All will be added to STM Learning's library in the near future as well.

Well illustrated pamphlet on the science revealing pathological and functional disorders in the human body by means of abnormal lines, spots, and discolorations in the iris of the eye.

1919. This is a text on using the eye as a diagnostic tool, with the belief that it reveals abnormal conditions and changes in every part and organ of the body. This science enables the diagnostician to ascertain, from the appearance of the iris, many of the patient's inherited or acquired tendencies toward health and toward disease, his condition in general, and the state of various organ's in particular. Reading Nature's records in the eye, he can predict many of the healing crises through which the patient will have to pass on the road to health. The author also contends that the diagnosis from the iris of the eye positively confirms Hahnemann's theory that acute diseases have a constitutional background of hereditary or acquired disease taints or systemic encumbrances.

"Praise for A Family's Guide to Tourette Syndrome"

"I am delighted to see the breadth and wealth of valuable clinical and scientific findings that have been gathered together in this comprehensive resource for families. The information provided in this book is testimony to the talent, abiding intellectual curiosity, and dedication to compassionate care and sheer persistence of each of the professionals who have contributed chapters. Their common goal was clear and selfless-to uncover sound medical and scientific data that could provide much needed answers to the baffling complexities of Tourette syndrome. A mere two decades ago, it was clear to all in the field that the prospect of obtaining sufficient funding to explore more deeply the intriguing preliminary findings uncovered about the disorder was all but non-existent. Simply put-other research funding priorities prevailed at the time. And so we can appreciate that the decision by each of them to dedicate their professional efforts to the study of Tourette syndrome is especially laudable. And for this we all owe the contributing authors a profound debt of gratitude." -Sue Levi-Pearl, Emeritus TSA Vice President, Medical and Scientific Programs
