By Steven Hatch. 2016
There's a running joke among radiologists: finding a tumor in a mammogram is akin to finding a snowball in a…
blizzard. A bit of medical gallows humor, this simile illustrates the difficulties of finding signals (the snowball) against a background of noise (the blizzard). Doctors are faced with similar difficulties every day when sifting through piles of data from blood tests to X-rays to endless lists of patient symptoms. Diagnoses are often just educated guesses, and prognoses less certain still. There is a significant amount of uncertainty in the daily practice of medicine, resulting in confusion and potentially deadly complications. Dr. Steven Hatch argues that instead of ignoring this uncertainty, we should embrace it. By digging deeply into a number of rancorous controversies, from breast cancer screening to blood pressure management, Hatch shows us how medicine can fail--sometimes spectacularly--when patients and doctors alike place too much faith in modern medical technology. The key to good health might lie in the ability to recognize the hype created by so many medical reports, sense when to push a physician for more testing, or resist a physician's enthusiasm when unnecessary tests or treatments are being offered. Both humbling and empowering, Snowball in a Blizzard lays bare the inescapable murkiness that permeates the theory and practice of modern medicine. Essential reading for physicians and patients alike, this book shows how, by recognizing rather than denying that uncertainty, we can all make better health decisions.Thoughts Without A Thinker: Psychotherapy from a Buddhist Perspective

By Gabriel Agbo, Martha Mauri. 2017
Los sacrificios son poderosos, ¡muy poderosos! El hombre más rico, el más fuerte, los hombres y mujeres más bendecidos, el…
más sabio, el rey más grande, los profetas más poderosos fueron hombres y mujeres de sacrificio. Lo dieron todo, arriesgaron todo por su gente, por la humanidad y por Dios para lograr sus metas y proezas de las que incluso se enorgullece la eternidad. ¿Quiere conocer sus secretos? Pues bien, si quiere ser grande, primero debe convertirse en un hombre o una mujer de sacrificio. Para aquellos que pueden pagar el precio, todo es posible. Los capítulos El poder del sacrificio, Sólo sacrifica lo tuyo, Mi paso por Egipto, Pago el precio, ¡Síganme!, Venimos por ustedes, Te protejo, Prepara la última cena, El poder de salvar, La alabanza, La oración y El ayuno, serán sumamente reveladores. En la Biblia no sólo se habla de los grandes sacrificios de extraordinarios hombres y mujeres y cómo sus acciones los hicieron grandes, sino también de personas como Yonatan 'Yoni' Netanyahu, el joven israelí que dirigió la unidad de comando para rescatar a los rehenes judíos que se encontraban en el avión que fuera secuestrado y desviado al aeropuerto de Entebbe, Uganda en 1976. También vimos a algunos héroes militares, especialmente los de Operaciones Especiales, como los SEAL y la Fuerza Delta. Estos hombres dan lo mejor de sí; constantemente arriesgan todo, incluso su vida, para defender a su gente y a la humanidad. Sacrifican su vida para proteger a otros. Jesús dijo que el sacrificio más grande es que un hombre dé su vida por los demás. ¡Nuestros respetos! Ellos nos enseñan lo que debe ser el sacrificio. Jesús dijo ¿qué sacrificio puede ser mayor que el de un hombre que da su vida por sus amigos? Alabamos su coraje y patriotismo extremo. Aquí aprenderemos sobre los sacrificios de fe, amabilidad, patriotismo, oración, ayuno y alabanza. Cuando se traspasa de lo ordinario en cualquiera de los anteriores, de inmediWisdom of the Ages: 60 Days to Enlightenment

By Paul A. Offit. 2015
In recent years, there have been major outbreaks of whooping cough among children in California, mumps in New York, and…
measles in Ohio’s Amish country--despite the fact that these are all vaccine-preventable diseases. Although America is the most medically advanced place in the world, many people disregard modern medicine in favor of using their faith to fight life threatening illnesses. Christian Scientists pray for healing instead of going to the doctor, Jehovah’s Witnesses refuse blood transfusions, and ultra-Orthodox Jewish mohels spread herpes by using a primitive ritual to clean the wound. Tragically, children suffer and die every year from treatable diseases, and in most states it is legal for parents to deny their children care for religious reasons. In twenty-first century America, how could this be happening? In Bad Faith, acclaimed physician and author Dr. Paul Offit gives readers a never-before-seen look into the minds of those who choose to medically martyr themselves, or their children, in the name of religion. Offit chronicles the stories of these faithful and their children, whose devastating experiences highlight the tangled relationship between religion and medicine in America. Religious or not, this issue reaches everyone--whether you are seeking treatment at a Catholic hospital or trying to keep your kids safe from diseases spread by their unvaccinated peers. Replete with vivid storytelling and complex, compelling characters, Bad Faith makes a strenuous case that denying medicine to children in the name of religion isn’t just unwise and immoral, but a rejection of the very best aspects of what belief itself has to offer.Hookup culture dominates the lives of college students today. Most students spend hours agonizing over their hopes for Friday night…
and, later, dissecting the evenings’ successes or failures, often wishing that the social contract of the hookup would allow them to ask for more out of sexual intimacy. The pressure to participate comes from all directionsfrom peers, the media, and even parents. But how do these expectations affect students themselves? And why aren’t parents and universities helping students make better-informed decisions about sex and relationships? In The End of Sex, Donna Freitas draws on her own extensive research to reveal what young men and women really want when it comes to sex and romance. Surveying thousands of college students and conducting extensive one-on-one interviews at religious, secular public, and secular private schools, Freitas discovered that many studentsmen and women alikeare deeply unhappy with hookup culture. Meaningless hookups have led them to associate sexuality with ambivalence, boredom, isolation, and loneliness, yet they tend to accept hooking up as an unavoidable part of college life. Freitas argues that, until students realize that there are many avenues that lead to sex and long-term relationships, the vast majority will continue to miss out on the romance, intimacy, and satisfying sex they deserve. An honest, sympathetic portrait of the challenges of young adulthood, The End of Sex will strike a chord with undergraduates, parents, and faculty members who feel that students deserve more than an endless cycle of boozy one night stands. Freitas offers a refreshing take on this charged topicand a solution that depends not on premarital abstinence or unfettered sexuality, but rather a healthy path between the two.Hot, Healthy, Happy: The 21-Day Diet to Eat, Drink and Think Your Way to Self-Love and Skinny Jeans

By Scott O. Lilienfeld, Sally Satel. 2013
In recent years, the advent of MRI technology seems to have unlocked the secrets of the human mind, revealing the…
sources of our deepest desires, intentions, and fears. As renowned psychiatrist and scholar Sally Satel and psychologist Scott O. Lilienfeld demonstrate in Brainwashed, however, the explanatory power of brain scans in particular and neuroscience more generally has been vastly overestimated. Although acknowledging its tremendous potential, the authors argue that the overzealous application of the burgeoning field of brain science has put innocent people in jail, prevented addicts from healing themselves, and undermined notions of free will and responsibility. A provocative challenge to the use and abuse of a seductive science, Brainwashed offers an essential corrective to determinist explanations of human behavior.Girls on the Edge: The Four Factors Driving the New Crisis for Girls

Compelling and inspiring, Girls on the Edge points the way to a new future for today's young women.Primary Ovarian Insufficiency
By Amber Cooper. 2016
Presenting the most current and relevant information on the diagnosis and management of primary ovarian insufficiency, also known as premature…
ovarian failure (POI/POF), this book presents two equally important voices. The first is the scientific, evidence-based voice discussing the latest information on POI/POF in a concise and logical fashion: etiologies, symptoms, genetics, mechanisms, associated conditions, as well as psychological and lifestyle considerations. The second voice presents the first-person stories of affected women, who are often faced with a diagnosis of irreversible infertility at a very young age and who somehow learn to live with great uncertainty about their ability to create a family - a core identity issue for many women. It is thus not simply a clinical, case-based presentation, but a more collaborative effort between clinicians who are well-versed in the field and women who have POI/POF. Primary Ovarian Insufficiency: A Clinical Guide to Early Menopause will therefore be an excellent practical yet personal reference for OB/GYNs, reproductive medicine specialists, and any clinician, nurse or health care worker treating women living with POI/POF.Health Inequities Related to Intimate Partner Violence Against Women
By Mandi M. Larsen. 2016
This book examines the extent to which social position impacts exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) and whether women with…
IPV exposure are more vulnerable to social inequities in health. At the intersection of sociological theories on health, gender, and policy, this book explores these issues against the social policy contexts of the United States, Germany, and Norway. It applies a conceptual framework which argues that differential exposure to IPV and differential vulnerability to poor health are two primary mechanisms driving health inequities for IPV survivors. Empirical analysis reveals context-specific nuances in the interactions of social position and IPV exposure in their impact on health, and suggests that encouraging women's economic independence and ensuring access to health care are vital policy intervention points for reducing the health inequities of IPV survivors. This book offers a cross-national comparative look at the role of social policy in the lives of IPV survivors, highlighting the effects of various policy approaches in three modern welfare states and suggesting policy implications.Joint Care of Parents and Infants in Perinatal Psychiatry
