Infection in the cancer patient is extremely common, either precipitated by the cancer itself or occuring as a consequence of cancer therapies. Virtually all cancer patients develop an infection during their illness, many of which are life-threatening and require urgent treatment. There are also the wider health implications of antibiotic resistance and hospital acquired infections. This book provides a practical guide to all the infections a practising clinician and members of the multi-disciplinary team will meet in their care of a cancer patient. An overview of the problem of infection in the cancer patient is provided, covering the immunology of cancer and the infection sequelae. This is then developed by site specific chapters, each describing the organisms responsible for the infection, its presentation, appropriate investigations, and finally management advice. Unique groups explored include viral infections such as HIV and infections in paediatrics. Infections in end of life care are specifically addressed. Written by an international team of contributors recognised in their field, this book is the first to concentrate on what is a major issue for anyone involved in the care of the oncology patient.

Want to make a trip to the World Cup? Then go to all of them with a passionate and plucky traveler. His go for broke style results in some unconventional dilemmas where a quick wit is the key to salvation. In foreign lands he embeds himself in the trenches of the black ticket market and sleeps in million dollar flats one night while the ensuing or previous one has sentenced him to a park bench. Other than the next game, there's no telling what will happen Mexico 1986- a young American plunges into a fanatical nation gripped by hysteria. The world's most popular sporting event, the World Cup, has taken over. From that journey is spawned the insatiable desire to travel the globe to watch the beautiful game. Intent on defying the odds; no tickets, no accommodations, and very little money sets the stage to abandon convention and creatively prevail in his single-minded purpose of attending the match of the day. Spontaneous trips to Rome, Korea, South Africa (amongst others) became the norm for this soccer junkie. Many tickets considered impossible to attain are acquired, sometimes even putting our hero on the field. Nearly a hundred matches in total: from Maradona's "Hand of God" to the 2010 thriller between the US and Algeria, he's seen them all. Evolving from a startling innocence into a pragmatic adventurer, our hero promises to entertain you with facts, feats, and levity while displaying adventurous escapism at its finest. "Two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." Robert Frost

When the President of the United States is among the thousands of pro-choice leaders killed in a tragic explosion at a Reproductive Rights Convention, the government begins a long-anticipated campaign to silence opponents of its agenda. Good men like David Jameson are in the cross-hairs. Their intolerance of abortion, physician-assisted suicide, and gay marriage are grounds for prosecution. They are a threat to national security. Preachers and pro-life activists are hunted like terrorists, forced into re-education classes, and persecuted. The federal government's plan to disarm Americans and drastically raise taxes is the last straw for many states like Texas, and they begin to resist. Secessionist fervor begins to rise. Liberals like Mitch Paine lead thousands of anarchists and college students to stand against the "religious totalitarians." Will America ever be "one nation under God" again? Will Americans preserve liberty for their posterity, or is it just a fading dream? Awe-inspiring courage, terrifying tragedy, tender romance, and violent conflict carry the reader through an ageless clash of worldviews, where the superiority of the principles of liberty and the truths of Christianity prevail over a plethora of vicious opponents. About the Author: Patrick Johnston is a family practice physician and a Christian evangelist who dreams of a Christian nation. He is founder of the Association of Pro-Life Physicians and the Coalition to Reform Education Funding, and he is the father of seven home-schooled children and his wife Elizabeth are committed to revival in the church and the restoration of biblical law and constitutional government in America. The Revolt of 2020 is the first novel of a series exploring the tension between liberty, tyranny, and godly resistance.

Journey with Patrick and Dean Merrill as they share God's heart for the city and introduce pastors, missionaries, and community workers who are addressing urbanization's key challenges. God has a heart for today's cities. See how you can join this urgent mission.

God has used migration for millennia to achieve his purposes for his people, writes Patrick Johnstone. He is doing so again in our time. Millions are on the move, driven by war, drought, terrorism, poverty, failed states, environmental catastrophes, disease, revolutions, and the desire for a better life. Christians have a unique perspective on the migrant crisis: after all, Jesus was a refugee. So were Abraham, Joseph, and Moses. Today, some turn their backs on refugees. In Serving God in a Migrant Crisis, Patrick Johnstone and Dean Merrill help us understand what's causing today's refugee crisis, explore Christian theology and tradition on migration, and show us how Christian workers around the globe are opening their hearts to embrace these modern outcasts. The world has literally come to our doorstep, they write. Will we open the door?
