Largely reorganised and much expanded in this second edition, Practice and Procedures brings together in a single volume general methods of pain assessment and presents the wide range of therapies that can be provided by a range of health care disciplines. Authored by a multidisciplinary team of experts, chapters can stand alone for readers looking for a general overview of the methods of techniques for pain management available to them or work to complement chapters in the preceeding three volumes, providing practical procedures and applications in the management of acute, chronic and cancer pain. The book is divided into three parts. Part One covers the principles of measurement and diagnosis, including history taking and examination, the selection of pain measures, diagnostic tests and novel imaging techniques. Part Two discusses the full range of therapeutic protocols available, from pharmacological therapies, through psychological techniques, physical therapy and international procedures, to techniques specific to pain assessment and management in paediatric patients. Part Three provides information on planning, conducting, analysing and publishing clinical trials, with invaluable guidance on the techniques of systematic review and meta-analysis in pain research. Part Four considers the role of multidisciplinary pain management teams, their organization, their place within different health care systems, and how best to manage change when implementing such a service. Part Five concludes the volume, investigating the use of guidelines, standards and quality improvement initiatives in the management of post-operative pain, and discussing the expert medicolegal report.

William Campbell (1824-86) compiled this two-volume work for the Rolls Series between 1873 and 1877. It covers the first five years of the reign of Henry VII, following his accession to the throne after the Battle of Bosworth in 1485. The contemporary material is rich in information regarding Henry's governance and character, including his meticulous approach to financial matters and his penchant for splendour. Volume 1 brings together a variety of illustrative and carefully transcribed documents, presented in English, Latin and French. Covering the year 1485-6, it introduces the people who would come to shape Henry's reign. Revealing Henry's concern to reward his allies, the documents reflect the turbulence of the previous decades and the uneasy character of this period. This is a valuable resource for researchers of the early Tudors, providing insight into Henry's reign in its early, and most anxious, stages of development.

The Sensational link between Deadly Heart Disease and Chlorinated drinking water! Don't drink anther drop until you read this book! Dr. Joseph M. Price has long held that the chlorine in our drinking water - not the cholesterol in our food - is the major cause of coronary disease. In his courageous book he challenges the medical establishment with his own well documented theory directly linking deadly heart disease with the deadly poison chlorine. After reading this book, you'll never drink 'tap water' again. Dr. Price demonstrates, with fact after fact, proof after proof, that you can eat the foods you want to eat, and avoid heart disease by simply following his guidelines for avoiding chlorinated drinking water. "One of the top ten nutrition books of the 20th Century...an amazingly original toxicology book vital to every living soul on this planet" Dr. William Campbell Douglass II, M.D. www.drdouglass.com

You know the old saying about death and taxes - the two things in this life we can be sure of. But for American men age 50 and over, I must, unfortunately, add another certainty: prostate problems. This caveat about prostate problems is meant only to make you aware of the potential difficulties all men face. For most men, the problems will be minor-an increased need to urinate or an increased urge to urinate. For others, the problem may involve a decline in sexual performance. I'm not making light of this problem, but it certainly isn't cancer. Unfortunately, for some prostate cancer is a fatal disease. But in most cases the cancer is not as serious as it sounds. The majority of men with prostate cancer are older-in their late 70s or early 80s. Fortunately, the cancer is usually slow-growing, so that most men die of natural causes well before the prostate cancer becomes a medical problem. Dr. Douglass offers you safe, simple, and effective relief. Don't be frightened into surgery or drugs you may not need. First, get the facts about prostate problems... know all your options, so you can make the best decisions. This fully documented report explains the dangers of conventional treatments, and gives you alternatives that could save you more than just money! - William Campbell Douglass II, MD
