Books about Calcifications from Amazon.com

If you have heart disease, arthritis or cancer, you have 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 have never heard of calcification or don't know what it does, you will find crucial answers in this book, 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 are young and healthy, your own Calcium Bomb may already be ticking. 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 breast pathologist, Tibor Tot, distill decades of clinical expertise in this new volume covering the most frequently occurring malignant type of calcification: the pleomorphic, crushed stone-like calcification. The book presents a systematic approach to using mammographic features to distinguish breast cancer subtypes originating within the terminal ductual lobular unit (TDLU). More than 800 images demonstrate pathological findings with superb clarity, providing a state-of-the-art visual reference for interpreting mammograms in the clinical setting.This title features: concise descriptions of mammographic findings correlated with high-quality MR images and histopathologic images to provide a reliable reference for prognostic classification; systematic guidelines for developing a course of treatment tailored to each particular prognostic feature; extensive coverage of all aspects of benign differential diagnostic counterparts, 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; and, 3D viewing glasses enclosed in the book for perceiving specially marked images in their true three-dimensional form..

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 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..
