The author of this book has been profoundly affected by a little known disease that is a devastating baby killer. On December 24, 1997, the most severe form of spinal muscular atrophy took the life of his niece Alyssa Milliken. Now, ten years later, he and his family face the prospect of losing their daughter Cassandra to the same incurable disease. An assortment of machines, vigilance and the grace of God stay the course of Cassandra's disease while the race for a cure continues.
SMA results in severely diminished output of a protein called Survival of Motor Neuron (SMN) protein. Without this protein, muscle controlling motor neurons die, rendering its young victims paralyzed and too weak to breathe. Death usually results within six months due to respiratory complications. In the past decade, technology has rapidly advanced and hope is on the horizon. Doctors and researchers have focused their primary efforts on increasing the amount SMN protein to halt motor neuron death. This book takes an in-depth and comprehensible approach to understanding this complicated disease with a thorough discussion of SMN protein upregulation methodology and its efficacy.

“…demonstrates the physical, psychological, and social harm resulting from the label schizophrenic and the continuous need to reexamine the underpinnings and attitudes of psychiatry.” — Booklist “Of all the books written about schizophrenia…none is more comprehensive, accurate, thorough, and clearer in style and statement than John Modrow’s classic How to Become a Schizophrenic. Modrow, who is a recovered schizophrenic and is, perhaps, the unrecognized and unappreciated world’s foremost authority on this disorder, has performed a truly invaluable service and has made the major contribution to our understanding of the causes and cures of this pseudodisease.” —Robert A Baker, Ph.D., former chairman of the Department of Psychology, University of Kentucky; author of They Call It Hypnosis, Hidden Memories: Voices and Visions from Within and Mind Games: Are We Obsessed with Therapy? “One of the best things I’ve read on the subject…I am struck by the richness of the ideas and the research and the soundness of the conclusions.” —Peter Breggin, M.D., founder and director of the International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology; author of Toxic Psychiatry and Talking Back to Prozac “…a very important contribution to the field.” —Theodore Lidz, M.D., former chairman of the Department of Psychiatry, Yale University; author of The Origin and Treatment of Schizophrenic Disorders and Schizophrenia and the Family “…well researched and easily readable (a difficult combination to achieve)!” —Judi Chamberlin, author of On Our Own: Patient-Controlled Alternatives to the Mental Health System “…meticulously challenges all the major research that claims that schizophrenia is a biological disorder.” —Ty C. Colbert, Ph.D., author of Broken Brains or Wounded Hearts: What Causes Mental Illness “Before reading the book, I was largely convinced that schizophrenia was primarily a brain disease. Modrow has forced me to take a second look, however, and reconsider the psychological causes of the condition.” — The Vancouver Sun “…it is ennobling that despite bad and discouraging treatment he was able to understand himself and others, and share that acquired knowledge in an accurate and helpful way.” —Bertram P. Karon, PhD., professor of clinical psychology, Michigan State University; author of Psychotherapy of Schizophrenia “…gives clear proof that there’s real hope. Truly a remarkable book!” —Alan Caruba, Bookviews

From military expeditions in antiquity to peacekeeping missions in the twentieth century, malaria has been the single most important medical problem confronting nonimmune troops in malarious regions. Its devastating effects were clearly visible during both world wars. During the Macedonian campaign in World War I, an exasperated French general could not counterattack as he desperately reported, "Regret that my army is in hospital with malaria." Malaria also popped up in Korea, Vietnam and during Operation Restore Hope in Somalia. Often malaria causes more casualties than enemy action. A 1772 Dutch force sent to quell rioting slaves in Surinam lost three-quarters of its troops to malaria, and only a handful to the rebels. Bugs in Armor takes the reader on a historical journey of military expeditions and their encounters with a relentless bug—the malaria parasite. It is also a story of how this confrontation fuelled research that gave the world a better understanding of the nature of malaria, its treatment and prevention.

Five centuries separate the appearances of AIDS and syphilis. Nevertheless, the human response to the epidemics proves that society has learned little about coping with sexually transmitted diseases. Both were labeled "God's Judgment" by contemporary zealots. Both epidemics appeared mysteriously. New findings make it doubtful that Columbus's crew brought syphilis back from the New World. The Human Immunodeficiency Virus existed long before it caused the "Gay Plague." English, French and Russian ruling dynasties were terminated by syphilis. The social response to both diseases included blaming and exclusion of the affected, denial of the extent of the disease, scientific bickering, retribution for becoming infected, charlatans with "cures." Both infections caused terror . . . but not enough to change sexual risk taking. Thrill seeking men and rebellious women are more likely to seek sex when they are lonely. Treadwell describes society's response to these "social diseases" and synthesizes some of the writing about syphilis and AIDS. He selects some of the social and scientific issues common to both epidemics. To follow both of these infectious diseases is to expose the human foibles that make history and novels interesting, but inhibit the institution of preventive measures.

• Components of pre-conception care for diabetic women
• Action of insulin during pregnancy
• Value of choosing the right insulin pump
• Advantages of rapid-acting insulin analogs over regular insulin Employing effective strategies for controlling blood glucose levels before, during, and after pregnancy are essential to diabetic women’s care. A Practical Guide to Insulin Pump Therapy for Pregnancy provides valuable information that will minimize complications and enhance a pregnant woman’s life.
