Product Description: Lyme disease is so difficult to detect that the average sufferer sees five physicians before the disease is properly diagnosed. Thirty-five percent of Lyme disease patients suffer permanent bodily damage, and 17 percent lose their jobs. Karen Vanderhoof-Forschner fared even worse than that: she contracted the disease while pregnant (it was misdiagnosed as arthritis), and passed it on to her unborn child, who died when he was 6. She became an expert on ticks and the diseases they spread, started the Lyme Disease Foundation, and compiled all her knowledge into this book, a handy guide for anyone living in tick-infested areas. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title

Everything You Need to Know About Lyme Disease and Other Tick-Borne Disorders, 2nd Edition (Paperback)

Product Description: The second edition of the Color Atlas of Diseases and Disorders of Cattle again illustrates all the conditions encountered in cattle worldwide. This new edition has been extensively revised and expanded to have more (now 752) illustrations, primarily of live animals.

The revised text now includes sections on management and control for the important disorders. Newer conditions such as necrotic enteritis, toe ulcers, heel ulcers and tail necrosis have been added. The illustrations themselves have been reviewed. Many have been replaced, while others have been added, so that Foot and Mouth Disease has six and Rinderpest seven colour illustrations. Cross-references to other conditions, a major aid to differential diagnosis in the field, have been strengthened.

Over 70 foreign contributors from the Far East (Japan, China) to South America (Brazil,
Argentina), Africa (South Africa, Kenya, Somalia) and the United States (Pennsylvania, Florida, Missouri) have been joined by a further thirty from the UK. The emphasis of the atlas remains the visible signs of diseases and disorders in the live animal, and this gives the book a unique scope. This new edition will re-establish the firm place which the atlas already has in the veterinary market for cattle practitioners, government and industry veterinarians, as well as veterinary and agricultural students, and managers of large-scale cattle enterprises throughout the world.

Color Atlas of Diseases and Disorders of Cattle (Hardcover)

Product Description: Hard on the heels of Fuller Torrey and Michael B. Knable's excellent Surviving Manic Depression: A Manual on Bipolar Disorder for Patients, Families and Providers (LJ 1/02) comes another strong title. Both books cover the origins, symptoms, and treatments for bipolar disorder, with emphasis on current medications. The main difference between the two books is that the current title by Miklowitz (psychology, Univ. of Colorado, Boulder) is intended for patients. It spends a good deal of time on issues exclusive to the sufferer how to come to terms with the diagnosis, whom to confide in, and how to recognize one's own mood swings. More concise in its treatment of the issues just mentioned, Torrey and Knable's title is addressed to a more general audience, spends more time reviewing the scientific evidence concerning the origins of the disease, and has a much more useful resource list.

The Bipolar Disorder Survival Guide: What You and Your Family Need to Know (Paperback)

Product Description: Wulsin, a professor of psychiatry and family medicine at the University of Cincinnati, offers a welcome addition to the literature on the mutual impact of body and mind in this look at how depression contributes to heart disease and vice versa. Written in an informal tone and balancing scientific data with patient checklists and case studies, this book is meant for patients and doctors alike. He tells, for instance, of Bea Hook, a middle-aged woman he was treating only for depression until he realized she had serious risk factors for heart disease that could be exacerbated by her depression. But the author cushions such information with helpful Clinical Tips for the average reader: for example, Learn how depression affects your risks for heart disease; Chart the course of your depression over your lifetime; Insist on comprehensive treatment of heart disease. Wulsin discusses possible single and combination treatments, which include medication, psychotherapy, light therapy and pets.
