Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women and Health is a comprehensive reference that addresses health issues affecting women of all ages — from adolescence through maturity. It goes far beyond other books on this topic, which concentrate only on reproductive health, and has a truly international perspective. It covers key issues ranging from osteoporosis to breast cancer and other cancers, domestic violence, sexually transmitted diseases, occupational hazards, eating disorders, heart disease and other chronic illnesses, substance abuse, and societal and behavioral influences on health. In this second edition of Women and Health, chapters thoughtfully explore the current state of women’s health and health care, including the influences of sex and gender on the occurrence of a wide variety of diseases and conditions. All chapters have been extensively updated and emphasize the epidemiology of the condition — the etiology, occurrence, primary and secondary prevention (screening), risk factors, surveillance, changing trends over time, and critical analysis of the diagnostic and treatment options and controversies. Treatment sections in each chapter have been expanded to create a stronger dialogue between epidemiologists and women's health practitioners. Saves researchers and clinicians time in quickly accessing the very latest details on a broad range of women’s health issues, as opposed to searching through thousands of journal articles Provides a common language for epidemiologists, public health practitioners, and women’s health specialists to discuss the behavioral, cultural, and biological determinants of women’s health Researchers and medical specialists will learn how the gender-specific risks and features of one organ system’s diseases affect the health of other organ systems For example: Hormone replacement therapy used to treat imbalance within the endocrine system is also being used to prevent and treat cardiovascular disease; Drugs developed for type 2 diabetes are now being used in chemoprevention Orients the non-gerontologist about the importance of considering the entire life cycle of women within research designs and treatment plans Professors teaching courses in women’s health will use slides and additional materials to structure lectures/courses; students will use slides as a unique resource to study for exams

This book was released on 1999-07-27 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proper nutrition is the single most important component of preventative health care. Heart disease, diabetes, and other ailments are all linked to dietary habits. Accurate nutritional assessment can be a matter of life or death. Laboratory Tests for the Assessment of Nutritional Status explores the expanded number of nutrients that can now be evaluated. The author makes a compelling case for the practice and advancement of this critical health care tool. Nutritional assessment identifies undernutrition, overnutrition, specific nutrition deficiencies, and imbalances. Diligent assessment determines the appropriate nutrition intervention and monitors its effects. This book is a total revision of the 1974 version of the same title co -authored by Sauberlich. Since then, remarkable progress has been made on the methodologies applicable to nutrition status assessment and to the expanded number of nutrients that can be evaluated, especially trace elements. The introduction of high-performance liquid chromatography, amperometric detectors, and other technologies has advanced nutritional assessment by leaps and bounds. Today, nutritionists can gauge the value of microminerals, trace elements, and ultratrace elements. Sauberlich's revision updates the reader to the latest and most important trends in nutrition. These laboratory methods for the assessment of nutritional status are vital for identifying individuals as well as populations with nutritional risks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day, millions of women are subject to their changing hormones, which play a vital role in the functioning of a healthy body. When hormones are not produced in the proper amounts or they are not in balance with one another, a number of health problems can occur, inclduing premenstrual syndrome (PMS), pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), menstrual dysfunction, fibrocystic breasts, and menopause. Symptoms of hormonal imbalance can range from mild cramping, irritability, and food cravings to hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings. Even serious conditions and diseases, such as osteoporosis, arthrities, diabetes, premature aging, and cancer, can result. Standard hormone replacement therapies are often used to maintain proper balance; but they can have dangerous side effects. Roger Mason, in his newly revised Natural Health for Women, offers safe and naturally effective alternatives to help keep hormones in balance. Natural Health for Women begins by first explaiing how the body produces and uses different hormones, and how hormonal levels change during a women's lifetime. It goes on to discuss the various hormone replacement options, as well as safe, natural alternatives. A healthy diet and exercise program is also presented as an effective preventive measure against hormone imbalance. Other topics include natural cures for osteoporosis and arthritis, steps for maintaining good breast health, and how to avoid a hysterectomy. There is even a useful chapter on how to test hormone levels from home. Hormones do not have to control your life. With Natural Health for Women, you can learn to effectively maintian their proper balance safely and naturally.
