Atualmente, temos tanta disponibilidade de informaçes que basta um clique no seu celular e temos a informaço de que precisamos sobre um determinado curativo ou uma terapia para tratamento de feridas, na palma de nossas mos. Mas, apesar dessa facilidade, por que a maioria dos profissionais de saude no consegue conduzir adequadamente o tratamento das leses de seus pacientes e, muitas vezes, define condutas que mais atrapalham do que ajudam? Isso acontece porque essas informaçes so como peças de um quebra-cabeça, se elas estiverem sozinhas ou colocadas em lugares errados, no faro sentido algum. Para que essas informaçes façam sentido, e preciso que se tenha algo muito importante, de que pouco se fala atualmente: o raciocinio clinico.

For decades, medical consensus was absolute: stress and spicy food cause ulcers. The stomach is too acidic for anything to live in it. Barry Marshall, a young Australian doctor, disagreed. He found a strange bacteria (H. pylori) in ulcer patients. The medical establishment laughed at him. He was ridiculed at conferences and ignored by journals.Frustrated and desperate, Marshall did the unthinkable: he took a beaker of the bacteria from a sick patients gut and drank it. Within days, he began to vomit and developed the very disease he was studying. This book tells the incredible story of how one mans dangerous self-experiment overturned a century of medical dogma, cured millions of chronic pain, and eventually won him a Nobel Prize. A testament to the fact that science advances one funeralor one vomitat a time.

A collection to inspire discussions, debate and embolden the difficulties faced by women in the healthcare system.This is a bilingual anthology of new writing from 13 women poets of Wales who suffer with pain and/or chronic illness and health conditions. The aim of the book is to bring about change in legislation, and a voice for the women of Wales and beyond, who are not given the autonomy and power of voice to speak up about their own bodies within the patriarchal healthcare system. The book will be distributed in GP surgeries and healthcare settings and is designed to open up conversations for the women and men that use them and work in them. The book is edited by Hanan Issa and Gwyneth Lewis. A powerful and unflinching collection of poems about living with long term health conditions.It is an act of testimony, a call to awareness, and, in many ways, a rallying cry. Dr Helen Munro, Clinical Lead Womens Health Network in WalesI hope that any woman reading this will find comfort in these pages. You may be unwell. The future may be uncertain. But you are not alone and do not have to endure pain by yourself. Hanan Issa, National Poet of WalesAll the poets in this book have, in some way found the creative resources to respond to the surreal world of illness in poems that show insight, generosity and a joy that defy the downward pull of being constantly ill at ease. This is a significant human achievement.

France, 1790s. In the chaos of the Revolution, a man wanders the streets with a hunger that defies science. Tarrare could eat a basket of apples in a single sitting, swallow corks, stones, and live animals. He was a medical anomaly, a spy for the French army (smuggling documents in his stomach), and a tragic figure cursed with a bottomless void inside him.This book investigates the grotesque and sad life of the greatest glutton in history. It separates the folklore from the medical reports of the time, exploring the boundaries of human physiology. Was it a damaged hypothalamus? A parasite? Or something worse? It is a story of a man who was always full, yet died of starvation.

The Therac-25 was supposed to be the pinnacle of medical technologya radiation therapy machine controlled entirely by software to cure cancer. Instead, between 1985 and 1987, it delivered massive overdoses of radiation to patients, burning them from the inside out. The cause wasnt malice, but a "race condition"a bug that only triggered when a technician typed too fast."The Ghost Code" is a chilling investigation into the most infamous software failure in history. It reveals how corporate denial, lack of hardware interlocks, and overconfidence in code led to tragedy. For modern developers and engineers, it is a crucial case study on why "error 404" in the real world doesnt just crash a browserit costs lives.

When Columbus brought corn back from the Americas, it was hailed as a miracle crop. It grew anywhere and fed everyone. But the Europeans failed to bring back the crucial indigenous cooking method: "Nixtamalization," soaking the corn in lime water to release Vitamin B3 (Niacin). Without this process, a diet of corn is slowly lethal."The Corn Curse" tells the horrifying story of the Pellagra epidemic that swept through Europe and the American South for centuries. Victims developed pale skin that blistered in the sun, receded gums, aggression, and eventual insanity. The book explores the compelling theory that these symptoms fueled the vampire myths of the 18th century.For decades, doctors blamed the disease on bad genes or germs, ignoring the simple truth that the Native Americans had known for millennia. It is a story of colonial arrogance, medical blindness, and how discarding traditional knowledge can lead to a public health catastrophe. It took until the 20th century to realize that the cure was simply adding limestone to the pot.

Entre la exitosa 4.ª edición de Vacuna a Vacuna, publicada en 2019, y esta 5.ª que tiene ahora en sus manos, el mundo ha vivido un acontecimiento que marcó un antes y un después en la historia de la salud publica: la pandemia de COVID-19. Este hito global no solo acelero el desarrollo de vacunas en tiempo record, sino que tambien supuso la incorporacion de nuevas tecnologias como el ARN mensajero y, mas recientemente, la inmunizacion pasiva mediante anticuerpos monoclonales, que tambien encuentran su lugar en esta edicion por su creciente relevancia en la prevencion de enfermedades infecciosas.Esta nueva edicion, completamente revisada y actualizada, conserva el enfoque divulgativo, riguroso y didactico que ha caracterizado a la obra desde su origen.

Sedative addiction doesnt always look like addiction at all. It can begin with a prescription for sleep, a pill to settle anxiety, or a tablet to take the edge off a stressful life. For many, it feels controlled, justified, and harmless, until it isnt. Sedatives: Unmasking the Hidden Addiction pulls back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood and quietly growing forms of dependency, offering readers clarity, compassion, and evidence, based insight into a problem that rarely announces itself until it has already taken hold. This comprehensive guide explores the reality of sedative misuse, from the biological changes that alter the brain and nervous system to the emotional and psychological patterns that keep individuals stuck in cycles of dependence. Readers will learn how tolerance develops, why withdrawal can be so distressing, and how sedative addiction often coexists with anxiety, trauma, and other mental health conditions. Importantly, the book also examines how addiction impacts relationships, finances, careers, self, identity, and family dynamics, areas often overshadowed by the medical aspects alone. Written in a clear, relatable, and deeply human tone, Sedatives: Unmasking the Hidden Addiction blends scientific explanation with real, world context so readers can understand not only what sedatives do to the body, but why individuals rely on them in the first place. It addresses critical questions like: Who is most at risk for sedative addiction? What signs indicate use has become abuse? How can families support loved ones without enabling dependency? Which treatment approaches offer the best outcomes? What does long, term recovery actually look like? Beyond awareness, this book empowers readers with practical strategies for prevention, early intervention, and sustainable recovery. It breaks down treatment options, detox considerations, therapy modalities, and aftercare planning, while also highlighting the importance of sober support networks, coping skills, and lifestyle changes that make recovery possible. Whether you are personally struggling with sedatives, worried about someone you care about, working in a clinical or caregiving role, or simply seeking to understand a growing public health issue, this book provides a grounded and compassionate roadmap. Sedative addiction may begin quietly with one pill, but healing requires knowledge, support, and a willingness to confront the hidden forces beneath the surface. Sedatives: Unmasking the Hidden Addiction equips readers with that knowledge, so silence, confusion, and stigma no longer stand in the way of awareness, prevention, and recovery.

What if healing didnt begin with effort, struggle, or analysis but with listening? Chime into Wellness: Harnessing Sound for Healing and Balance is an immersive, deeply thoughtful guide to understanding how sound influences the body, mind, and emotional world. Designed for curious beginners and reflective readers alike, this book explores sound not as a trend or quick fix, but as a timeless, holistic pathway toward balance and well, being. In a world filled with constant noise, this book invites you to rediscover sound as a source of calm, regulation, and restoration. Through clear explanations and grounded insight, it reveals how vibration, rhythm, frequency, and mindful listening can gently support stress relief, emotional health, better sleep, and nervous system balance. Rather than overwhelming you with technical jargon or rigid instruction, this book walks alongside you. It blends ancient traditions with modern understanding, showing how sound has been used across cultures and eras to support healing and how those principles remain relevant today. From the science of sound frequencies to the lived experience of sound baths, chanting, music, and mindful listening, each chapter builds a deeper appreciation for sound as an embodied experience. Inside, youll explore how sound affects the human body, how it influences emotional and mental states, and why certain sounds feel grounding while others feel energizing. Youll learn about different sound healing tools and approaches, what to expect from a session, and how sound can complement other therapeutic practices without replacing them. The book also gently addresses real, world concerns such as stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, and emotional overwhelm, offering sound as a supportive companion rather than a cure. This is not a book that tells you what to believe. It encourages awareness over assumption and experience over promise. You are invited to listen, notice, and reflect to understand how your own body responds to sound and how balance often emerges when the nervous system feels safe and supported. Whether you are seeking personal insight, exploring holistic wellness, or simply longing for a quieter, more grounded way of relating to yourself, Chime into Wellness offers a compassionate and accessible entry point. It reframes healing as something that unfolds naturally when the conditions are right and shows how sound can help create those conditions. If youre ready to slow down, tune in, and rediscover the power of listening, this book offers a thoughtful guide into the subtle, steady world of sound, based healing and balance.
