Tomosynthesis Imaging (Imaging in Medical Diagnosis and Therapy)
An innovative, three-dimensional x-ray imaging technique that enhances projection radiography by adding depth resolution, Tomosynthesis Imaging explores tomosynthesis, an emerging limited-angle tomographic imaging technology that is being considered for use in a range of clinical applications, and is currently being used for breast cancer screening and diagnosis. While conventional mammography has been very successful in reducing breast cancer mortality, it is not perfect. A major limitation of...

Genetic Polymorphism and Disease
Genetic polymorphisms are important determinants of phenotypic variations and may modulate the risk to or even cause various diseases including genetic disorders and multifactorial diseases. Genetic polymorphisms also serve as important genetic, population and evolutionary markers that allow the study of genetic and evolutionary aspects of individuals, populations and organisms and aid in tracing the evolutionary and parental lineages. Genetic polymorphisms in low penetrance genes are responsibl...
Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfangen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen fur die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfugung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden mussen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.
Psychology of Cancer
In this book, the authors discuss the psychological aspects of dealing with cancer. Topics include the study that physical activity can improve the psychological outcomes in cancer survivors; the psychological and spiritual well-being of women diagnosed with breast cancer and participating in a yoga-based stress-reduction program; parent's experiences of their child's transition from treatment for childhood cancer; post-traumatic growth and the cancer experiences; parenting a child with leukaemi...
Reynolds Price has long been one of America's most acclaimed and accomplished men of letters-- the author of novels, stories, poems, essays, plays, and a memoir. In "A Whole New Life", however, he steps from behind that roster of achievements to pre sentus with a more personal story, a narra tiveas intimate and compelling as any work of the imagination. In 1984 a large cancer was discovered in his spinal cord ("The tumor was pencil-thick and gray-colored, ten inches long from my neck-hair downwa...
The revolutionary, science-based plan to reclaim your health“You have cancer.” These are perhaps the most feared three words that will ever come out of a doctor’s mouth, and more and more people are hearing them. Yet most patients (and some doctors) do not realize that lifestyle changes can dramatically reduce risk, assist treatment and improve chances of surviving and even thriving after a diagnosis. Over the course of a major study Servan-Schreiber designed with Dr Lorenzo Cohen at the MD And...
Growth Factors and Their Receptors (UCLA Symposia on Molecular and Cellular Biology, #102)
by Russell Ross
Presents recent results addressing the mechanisms and signals that regulate cell proliferation and differentiation. Topics covered include platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), growth-factor-stimulated cascades leading to mitosis, the role of bombesin and PDGF in mitogenesis, fibroblast growth factor and PDGF as candidate molecules for accelerating wound repair, and the possible association of chronic overproduction of one of the hemopoietic growth factors with tissue macrophage infiltration an...

Risk Assessment and Decision Making Using Test
by Vira Chankong, F. K. Ennever, Y. Y. Haimes, J. PetEdwards, and Herbert S. Rosenkranz
The difficulties associated with making risk assessments on the basis of experimental results are familiar to practitioners in many fields- engineering, epidemiology, chemistry, etc. These difficulties are particularly common in problems that have dynamic and stochastic characteristics driven by multiple purposes and goals, with complex interconnections and inter- dependencies. Acquiring an appropriate data base, processing and analyzing model results, and transmitting these results at an approp...
Die Wissenschaft bietet uns einen von vielen moglichen Blickwinkeln, die Welt, in der wir leben, zu betrachten. Die menschliche Neugierde verhilft dem Wissen- schaftler zu einem gewissen Grundoptimismus, der allerdings in Naivitat umschlagen kann, wenn er dabei versucht, aus den komplexen Phanomen der Welt ein zu einfaches Bild zu zeichnen. Die Dimensionen von Raum und Zeit liegen jenseits unserer unmittelbaren Wahrnehmungsmoglichkeiten und verleiten leicht zu phantastischen Vorstellungen. Es so...
