Noninvasive Survey Methods for Carnivores
The status of many carnivore populations is of growing concern to scientists and conservationists, making the need for data pertaining to carnivore distribution, abundance, and habitat use ever more pressing. Recent developments in “noninvasive” research techniques—those that minimize disturbance to the animal being studied—have resulted in a greatly expanded toolbox for the wildlife practitioner. Presented in a straightforward and readable style, Noninvasive Survey Methods for Carnivores is a comprehensive guide for wildlife researchers who seek to conduct carnivore surveys using the most up-to-date scientific approaches. Twenty-five experts from throughout North America discuss strategies for implementing surveys across a broad range of habitats, providing input on survey design, sample collection, DNA and endocrine analyses, and data analysis. Photographs from the field, line drawings, and detailed case studies further illustrate on-the-ground application of the survey methods discussed. Coupled with cutting-edge laboratory and statistical techniques, which are also described in the book, noninvasive survey methods are efficient and effective tools for sampling carnivore populations. Noninvasive Survey Methods for Carnivores allows practitioners to carefully evaluate a diversity of detection methods and to develop protocols specific to their survey objectives, study area, and species of interest. It is an essential resource for anyone interested in the study of carnivores, from scientists engaged in primary research to agencies or organizations requiring carnivore detection data to develop management or conservation plans. .

Heal Your Heart with EECP: The Only Noninvasive Way To Overcome Heart Disease
Heart disease is the number one killer in America, claiming one life every minute. Bypasses, angio-plasties, and stents treat specific artery blockages, but doctors are discovering that these invasive procedures might be only a short-term fix for the underlying problem: poor blood flow. In HEAL YOUR HEART WITH EECP, Dr. Debra Braverman debunks common misconceptions about heart disease and explains a cutting-edge, noninvasive heart procedure known as enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP). FDA-and Medicare-approved, EECP is cost-effective and, unlike surgery, completely safe and painless. Using blood pressure cuffs to push blood through the body, EECP actually helps promote the development of new blood vessels to naturally bypass clogged vessels and restore the flow of healthy, oxygenated blood to the heart. In doing so, EECP reduces or eliminates angina, increases energy and stamina, and returns patients to activities they thought they had given up forever. EECP is the primary heart disease treatment in China, yet U.S. doctors and patients are only beginning to realize its lasting benefits. HEAL YOUR HEART WITH EECP dispenses the critical information about heart disease and answers all questions about this revolutionary treatment..

Noninvasive Instrumentation and Measurement in Medical Diagnosis (Biomedical Engineering)
Noninvasive medical diagnosis (NIMD) is as old as medical practice itself. From the earliest healers' observations of odors, skin color, and breath sounds to today's wealth of technologies, the basics remain the same and keep the role of NIMD essential to effective medical care. Noninvasive Instrumentation and Measurement in Medical Diagnosis is the first book dedicated to NIMD tools and techniques. Featuring emerging technologies along with traditional instruments, it describes how these non-invasive tools and techniques work and explores developments that will make NIMD simpler, more reliable, less expensive, and risk-free. Much of the material is descriptive, but the author includes rigorous mathematical analysis where appropriate. The treatment is readily accessible to readers with a background in basic algebra and ordinary differential equations, basic circuit theory, and concepts such as frequency response and transient response of linear systems. The rapid evolution of biomedical instrumentation has meant that books just five years old are already outdated. Whether used for an upper-level, biomedical engineering class or as a reference for medical students, healthcare professional, physicists, or physiologists, Noninvasive Instrumentation and Measurement in Medical Diagnosis stands alone in presenting the state of NIMD art and science..
