The vaccine race : science, politics, and the human costs of defeating disease / by Wadman, Meredith,author.(CARDINAL)415467;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 415-419) and index."The epic and controversial story of a major breakthrough in cell biology that led to the creation of some of the world's most important vaccines. Until the late 1960s, tens of thousands of American children suffered crippling birth defects if their mothers had been exposed to rubella, popularly known as German measles, while pregnant; there was no vaccine and little understanding of how the disease devastated fetuses. In June 1962, a young biologist in Philadelphia, using tissue extracted from an aborted fetus from Sweden, produced safe, clean cells that allowed the creation of vaccines against rubella and other common childhood diseases. Two years later, in the midst of a devastating German measles epidemic, his colleague developed the vaccine that would one day wipe out homegrown rubella. The rubella vaccine and others made with those fetal cells have protected more than 150 million people in the United States, the vast majority of them preschoolers. The new cells and the method of making them also led to vaccines that have protected billions of people around the world from polio, rabies, chicken pox, measles, hepatitis A, shingles and adenovirus. Meredith Wadman's masterful account recovers not only the science of this urgent race, but also the political roadblocks that nearly stopped the scientists. She describes the terrible dilemmas of pregnant women exposed to German measles and recounts testing on infants, prisoners, orphans, and the intellectually disabled, which was common in the era. These events take place at the dawn of the battle over using human fetal tissue in research, during the arrival of big commerce in campus labs, and as huge changes take place in the laws and practices governing who "owns" research cells and the profits made from biological inventions. It is also the story of yet one more unrecognized woman whose cells have been used to save countless lives. With another frightening virus imperiling pregnant women on the rise today, no medical story could have more human drama, impact, or urgency today than The Vaccine Race"--Provided by publisher.

Natural strategies for cancer patients / by Blaylock, Russell L.,1945-author.(CARDINAL)764555;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 315-337) and index.This revised, updated edition of Russell L. Blaylock's revolutionary guide offers the latest cutting-edge information on how and why cancer develops, why conventional treatments fail, and the critical role inflammation plays in all stages of this deadly disease. Using the latest medical discoveries and most authoritative research, Blaylock reveals why essential natural compounds-vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals-can halt the spread of cancer. With the right combination of diet and nutrition, patients can develop their built-in immune mechanisms to stop the growth of cancer cells and protect their bodies from the debilitating, sometimes lethal effects of chemotherapy. In this new edition, you'll discover: the remarkable role plant extracts play in killing and controlling cancer cells, reducing the side effects of treatment, and relieving treatment-related depression, anxiety, and stress; the vitamins, fruits, and over-the-counter special plant extracts that protect the heart and brain against toxic effects of chemotherapy; the powerful mushroom extract that stimulates anti-cancer immune cells selectively; which commonly used cooking oils can battle cancer and those that stimulate cancer growth and spread; the truth about glutamine/glutamate and cancer, and natural compounds that protect cells, tissues, and organs from radiation damage and improve energy. Plus: Why cancer becomes resistant to some therapies · How a ketogenic diet starves cancer cells · How to protect the heart against cardiac toxicity · How Vitamin C promotes the beneficial effects of chemotherapy · How to transform cancer stem cells back into regular stem cells · How flavonoids protect healthy cells · Cancer's link to diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease . . . and much more!

It focuses on addressing the unique oral health challenges and dental conditions which affect people as they grow older. Some important aspects of geriatric dentistry are oral health assessment, denture care and treatment of dental diseases. Oral health assessment involves the examination of the teeth, gums, oral tissues, and evaluation of the overall oral hygiene. Dentures refer to prosthetic devices which are used to replace missing teeth. They are used by a large number of older adults and their care encompasses fitting, adjustments, repairs, and maintenance to ensure optimal fit and function. This book unfolds the innovative aspects of geriatric dentistry which will be crucial for the progress of this field in the future. For all those who are interested in this field, it can prove to be an essential guide." -- Provided by publisher.
