This book describes the relationship of the skin with cardiovascular disease. It details the variety of genetic, autoimmune, metabolic and…
endocrine factors that link the two disciplines. Recognition of one sign or symptom in dermatology can lead to the investigation and discovery of an important related cardiac condition, the recognition of which is important to prevent cardiovascular complications. Similarly, a cardiac condition may be related to an underlying skin condition that requires treatment.Genetic examples of such instances included within the book include: pseudoxanthoma elasticum, epidermolysis bullosa with desmosome defects and plectin defects; Marfan syndrome; Autoimmune conditions include vasculitis, sarcoidosis, lupus; metabolic conditions include insulin resistance, eruptive xanthomas with hypertriglyceridemias and elevated cholesterol; endocrine disorders include thyroid acropachy with atrial fibrillation; insulin resistance with coronary artery disease and psoriasis or hidradenitis suppurativa.Skin and the Heart reviews the effects of genetic, autoimmune and endocrine diseases with connections between skin and heart. It is therefore a key reference for all practitioners and researchers working in both disciplines.This book constitutes selected papers from the 23rd International Conference on Information Security and Cryptology, ICISC 2020, held in Seoul,…

As a survivor of sexual abuse in childhood, you may find that its effects continue to haunt you - bringing…
guilt and shame, perhaps depression and anxiety, eating disorders, troubled relationships and sexual difficulties. But although you can't alter the past, you can change the present and the future. Breaking Free, by Kay Toon and Carolyn Ainscough, draws on their nationally recognized and pioneering work as clinical psychologists giving a voice to the Survivors of child sexual abuse. It uses their courage and experiences to help other survivors face their past and take steps towards a better future. This new edition of the accompanying workbook now refers to types of abuse that have come to light more recently, such as street exploitation, and abuse by celebrities, politicians and football coaches, as well as the use of digital technology to groom children and young people. Practical exercises work step-by-step on the problems that result from being sexually abused as a child. They are designed to present survivors with different ways to think about the past, and to arm you with new strategies to move on from the problems that disrupt the present, and look forward to the future.Exercises like these can be very beneficial, but they can also be painful. They can bring up strong feelings, so at every stage your safety and well-being are the first concern, and the book includes essential coping strategies for getting the level of support you need.This practical book will be enormously useful for survivors of sexual abuse, and may also help those who have been abused emotionally or physically. Therapists will also find it a useful resource to use with clients, and both this book and Breaking Free are regularly recommended by professionals in the NHS and also in the media.By Jackie Clune. 2020

She finds solace in her anonymous blog, and in the daily chats she has with her mum's ashes (often the best conversations she has all day.)Despite the menopause, the invisibility of middle age and the daily self-esteem bashings, courtesy of her kids, Ciara manages to navigate the stormy waters of grief and family life - until her mask slips and she is cast out from the family bosom. She embarks on a mission to fulfil her mum's dying wishes to have her remains sprinkled from the top of the Empire State Building, finding company, distraction and - ultimately - herself in the process.If motherhood is a job - who says you can't resign?By Tim MacGabhann. 2020

information is being distorted by states and individuals... A must-read." - Greg Williams, Editor in Chief of WIRED UK"Essential reading for any one interested about the shocking way information is and will be manipulated." - Lord Edward Vaizey"Schick's Deep Fakes and the Infocalypse is a short, sharp book that hits you like a punch in the stomach." - Nick Cohen, The Observer"Deep Fakes is an uncomfortable but gripping read, probing the way in which the internet has been flooded with disinformation and dark arts propaganda." - Jim Pickard, Chief Political Correspondent, Financial Times"A searing insight into a world so many of us find difficult to understand. I was gripped from the first page." - Iain Dale, Broadcaster"With this powerful book, Nina Schick has done us all a great public service...It's your civic duty to read it." - Jamie Susskind, author of Future Politics"Gripping, alarming and morally vital." - Ian Dunt, Host of Remainiacs PodcastIt will soon be impossible to tell what is real and what is fake. Recent advances in AI mean that by scanning images of a person (for example using Facebook), a powerful machine learning system can create new video images and place them in scenarios and situations which never actually happened. When combined with powerful voice AI, the results are utterly convincing.So-called 'Deep Fakes' are not only a real threat for democracy but they take the manipulation of voters to new levels. They will also affect ordinary people. This crisis of misinformation we are facing has been dubbed the 'Infocalypse'. Using her expertise from working in the field, Nina Schick reveals shocking examples of Deep Fakery and explains the dangerous political consequences of the Infocalypse, both in terms of national security and what it means for public trust in politics. She also unveils what it means for us as individuals, how Deep Fakes will be used to intimidate and to silence, for revenge and fraud, and how unprepared governments and tech companies are. As a political advisor to select technology firms, Schick tells us what we need to do to prepare and protect ourselves. Too often we build the cool technology and ignore what bad guys can do with it before we start playing catch-up. But when it comes to Deep Fakes, we urgently need to be on the front foot.'A hilarious, laugh-out-loud romance that is a breath of fresh air' 5* reader reviewFrom the author of the 100,000 copy-selling…

When social media influencer Frankie Paulson's followers turn on her after an embarrassing public break-up with her perfect #couplegoals boyfriend, and she almost plummets to her death with two strangers in a faulty elevator, all she wants to do is hide. A town with no internet is the ideal sanctuary, but Frankie has never done anything without sharing it on one of many apps she can't live without.

A lo largo de once intensas historias de muertes violentas el médico Hugo Rodríguez cuenta su experiencia como forense.En estas…
muertes el escritor-médico médico-escritor reflexiona sobre la vida, la muerte, la pobreza, la violencia y el ser humano. Un texto potente para leerlo en distintos niveles. El escritor y grado 5 en Medicina Legal Hugo Rodríguez Almada convive con la muerte y la tragedia, es su trabajo. A lo largo de veinticinco años de ejercicio de la profesión, este escritor-médico ha lidiado con casos donde el papel principal no lo tiene la muerte, lo tiene el contexto. La pobreza, la violencia de género, el egoísmo y la sociedad son algunos de los personajes principales que sobrevuelan estas historias particulares y comunes. Cinco años después de haber publicado Crónicas forenses. Historias de personas, el autor se propone «reivindicar la Medicina Legal y las Ciencias Forenses, igualmente maltratadas por la práctica tolerada del intrusismo y de los vendedores de humo. Rescatarlas de la mentira, tantas veces festejada por la credulidad del público y siempre funcional al sistema, para colocarlas en el lugar cierto de lo inexacto, lo incompleto y lo falible». Y también «contar historias que, por alguna razón, se quedaron en mí. Y que, a la vez, me parece de utilidad social darlas a conocer, desvistiéndolas, hasta donde sea posible, de lo críptico y las jergas técnicas». Con gran sentido narrativo y documentado, conoceremos qué hay detrás de once casos que muestran al ser humano, la muerte y la vida.
