Books about Calcification from Amazon.com

IF YOU HAVE HEART DISEASE, ARTHRITIS, or CANCER, you've probably got calcification -- one of the most widespread harmful conditions in existence, and found with diseases like osteoporosis and Alzheimers. Doctors have long known that something in our body misuses calcium to make us sick; they just haven't known why, or how to treat it. Until now.

If you've never heard of calcification or don't know what it does, you'll find crucial answers in The Calcium Bomb, including medical science's recent discovery of a particle -- a nanobacterium so small it challenges the very definition of life -- that makes otherwise good calcium go bad, and which has also been discovered in other incurable diseases. Until recently scientists didn't know that it existed or what it did. But now they are beginning to understand what it is... and how to treat it.

IF YOU'RE YOUNG AND HEALTHY, your own Calcium Bomb may already be ticking. The Leading Causes of Death list is intimately linked to calcification-associated illnesses like heart disease -- and the U.S. Surgeon General estimates that getting rid of heart disease alone would increase the average lifespan by five years.

THE GOOD NEWS: Many patients are improving with new treatment aimed at heart disease calcification. Will it work for arthritis, injuries, and some cancers where the time bomb also lurks? In easy-to-understand terms, this book explores the hotly contested evidence..

As we age, calcium deposits tend to accumulate in our soft tissues Doctors call it "Extra-skeletal calcification " This means that the calcium that is supposed to be deposited in your bones is being lodged in your soft tissues where is does not belong. The condition can manifest itself in many ways: Heart disease, cancer, wrinkled skin, arthritis, kidney stones, osteoporosis, dental problems, bone spurs, senility, cataracts and many other health problems. Fortunately, there are many proven techniques to combat soft-tissue calcification. By making a few simple changes in your diet and lifestyle, you can prevent and reverse what is commonly called the calcium bomb.

Internationally renowned breast cancer imagers, Laszlo Tabar and Peter B. Dean, and the eminent breast pathologist, Tibor Tot, distill decades of clinical expertise in this new volume covering the most frequently occurring malignant type of calcifications: the pleomorphic, crushed stone-like calcifications. The book presents a systematic approach to using mammographic features to distinguish different subtypes of breast diseases originating within the terminal ductal lobular unit (TDLU). More than 800 images demonstrate abnormal findings with superb clarity, providing a state-of-the-art visual reference for interpreting mammograms in the clinical setting.

Features:

Concise descriptions of mammographic and MRI findings correlated with high-quality histopathologic images to provide a reliable guide for accurate diagnosis and differential diagnosis, as well as prognostic classification

Extensive coverage of all aspects of the benign differential diagnostic counterparts of pleomorphic calcifications, including fibrocystic change, fibroadenoma, and papilloma

Straightforward discussion of terminology based on a thorough analysis of subgross anatomy, 3D histologic features, and long-term disease outcomes

3D viewing glasses enclosed in the book for perceiving specially marked images in their true three-dimensional form

This book is ideal for all breast imagers and breast pathologists, as well as for surgeons and oncologists specializing in breast diseases. For the radiologist, this book is an indispensable reference for harnessing the power of mammography to detect breast cancer at the earliest stages possible..

This book is the first of several satellite volumes to Tabar's Breast Cancer: The Art and Science of Early Detection with Mammography Each volume will cover in depth a specfic class of mammogrpahic findings. Here, casting-type calcifications, and their significance in diagonsing cancer, are explored. Thick-section pathologic specimens are provided to help the reader understand why the mamograms look the way they do. A selection of full color pathologic images is provided in 3-D, allowing one to visualize the breast substructures in their spatial context..

Screening for breast cancer is now an accepted part of healthcare practice in many parts of the world. However, the advent of mass screening has brought with it the need for rapid and accurate diagnosis. Breast calcifications in particular are commonly misinterpreted, and definitive diagnosis of whether such calcifications represent benign or malignant conditions is extremely difficult, as the calcifications can easily be missed, or their shape (which is critical in diagnosis) misinterpreted. This book aims to provide a practical understanding to the diagnosis and treatment of breast calcification and will be essential reading for all members of the breast screening team, including pathologists, radiologists and surgeons. The multidisciplinary group of authors first cover in detail the main pathologies that present with calcification, and go on to describe the techniques of fine needle aspiration and core biopsy and large bore biopsy sampling of tissue, reporting procedures, radiological management of calcification and clinical aspects of the diagnosis of breast calcification. The second part of the book looks at some of the most recently adopted methodologies for diagnosis such as high frequency ultrasound, computer aided diagnosis and the roles of MRI and synchrotron radiation..

This work is not an anatomical atlas nor textbook (like that of McAlpine and Anderson) nor an angiographical atlas (like that of Vlodaver et al.); it is a short and comprehensive survey of the many variations of the intrinsic cardiac vessels. The reader's attention is focused on the numerous structural details and peculiarities of the human coronary arteries. The many unique features have been revealed by meticulous dissection and present an excellent documentation. All in all, this study represents an up-to-date review of morphology of the coronary arteries..

This book is the result of more than 10 years' intensive research into the phenomena of breast calcifications The exemplary radiologic investigations in this book enable the radiologist to come to diagnoses that are almost histologic in nature. The book bridges the gap between pathology and radiology and will benefit every specialist dealing with mammography..

The topics falling under the heading biological calcification are exceedingly numerous and varied. They include systems as different as vertebrate skeletons and mollusks, in vitro cultures and unicellular organisms, ectopic calcification and urinary stones. Furthermore, the results are scattered through a huge number of scientific publications. Although calcification is probably one of the most widespread biological processes, the mechanisms which lead to calcification of biological systems are still unexplained.

For the first time, this book offers a critical review of the calcification process, of the organic and inorganic phases of mineralized tissues, focusing on the earliest phases. It includes a methodological chapter which provides the necessary practical information for making appropriate choices. By collecting results from as many different sources as possible, and on the basis of personal experience, an integrative approach to a unified theory of this biological mechanism is given.
