The Heart of Female Same-sex Attraction: A Comprehensive Counseling Resource (Paperback)

Product Description: Readers wanting a diagram of the circulatory system with a few facts to flesh it out can consult almost any physiology or human biology textbook. If, however, they want to enjoy what they read while learning in depth about the heart and blood vessels, they should read Vital Circuits . For those accustomed to reading traditional scientific texts, Vogel's conversational style takes a little getting used to, especially when he urges readers to buy a heart at the butcher shop to help visualize the organ. It is unnecessary to buy the heart, though, because his explanations are clear and easily understood. With the increasing number of people diagnosed with cardiovascular diseases, demand for understandable health information is increasing. Recommended for public libraries.

The RealAge(R) Workout: Maximum Health, Minimum Work (Paperback)

Product Description: The need to publish a comprehensive review of a number of different membrane pathologies of muscle and non-muscle cells in illnesses ranging from diabetes to heart disease and cancer lies in the fact that there are several books focusing on abnormal membrane behavior. Since the cell membrane is the critical outer barrier of a cell, this membrane could be the first structure to be affected in some diseases. Research at the cellular level is advancing at a very rapid rate. We can now address questions such as: `How and by what mechanism does underlying membrane ion channel and receptor dysfunction lead to abnormal cell function?' and `What substances cause dysfunction of specific ion channels or receptors?' Such questions bring together the microscopic world of the cell with the macroscopic manifestation of disease. A treatise such as this will help researchers, physicians, and students to better understand the relationship between cell membrane dysfunction and abnormal function of the cell and tissue.

Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease, Hemostasis, and Endothelial Function (Fundamental and Clinical Cardiology Series, No 8) (Hardcover)

Product Description: Angina pectoris with normal coronary arteriograms is a common entity which has puzzled cardiologists almost since the advent of coronary arteriography. Despite major advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of angina in recent years and a multitude of studies on the subject, the cause and mechanisms underlying the syndrome of angina with normal coronary arteries remain unknown. Indeed, results of investigations are controversial and speculation still prevails regarding the nature of the so called `Syndrome X'. Almost every important aspect of Syndrome X has been tackled in the book and the reader is exposed not only to the cardiologists' opinion, but also to the authoritative views of the gastroenterologists, gynaecologists and psychiatrists, extremely well represented in this monograph. The book deals with `cardiologists' Syndrome X' and not the metabolic entity termed `Syndrome X'. The possible connection between the two, however, is discussed. Angina with Normal Coronary Arteries: Syndrome X contributes to the understanding of Syndrome X and helps clinicians manage their Syndrome X-patients better and investigators to open new avenues for research.
