Book excerpt: "A detailed and engrossing primer for anyone interested in ENS."--James Nestor, New York Times bestselling author of Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art "Chris is addressing a tremendously important issue in otolaryngology. Empty nose syndrome is a real entity that requires further investigation. Although Chris' book is written for the general public, I truly hope my colleagues in ENT will read this book and take it to heart."--Steven M. Houser, MD, ENT specialist, MetroHealth Medical Center, professor, Case Western Reserve University, and wrote the foreword for this book. What if you went into surgery expecting great improvement to your breathing, only to come out breathless - for life? It can happen. But you can also reduce your risk - whether you choose surgery or not - and you can even manage it. Having Nasal Surgery? will show you how. +Are you considering nasal surgery, but would like to avoid becoming an empty nose syndrome (ENS) patient? +Would you like to make sure you have explored all the alternatives before undergoing nasal surgery? +Have you already rolled the dice with nasal surgery, but lost? If you answered yes to any of the above, read on. Endorsed by top doctors familiar with ENS, Having Nasal Surgery? will help you: +Avoid becoming an empty nose syndrome patient. +Lower your risk of ENS if you do choose nasal surgery. +Exhaust non-surgical remedies to treat your condition whether you suffer from sleep apnea, sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, postnasal drip, GERD, or asthma. +Effectively manage ENS. +Be inspired by a personal tale. "This slim but potent book is tremendously important and informative not only for those considering nasal surgeries, but for the specialists who perform them."-- Kirkus Indie "This is a well written book with practical advice and appropriate information. It is all science backed, and offers the best aggregation of ENS information I have found. It also calmed my anxieties about ENS..."-- Matt R on Amazon.com "An ideal sourcebook on ENS...All nasal doctors should have on their shelves and be ready to pass on to patients."-- Les Chappell of BookReview.com "I just spoke to an Australian ENT, returned from training with the ex-president of the US Facial and Cosmetic Surgery Association who now agrees with the basic principles behind this book and "would not perform a partial inferior turbinate resection on a member of my family." And I was about to let my regular ENT perform an 80% resection!... until I saw this book."--Bard on Amazon.com

This book was released on 2021-02-28 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Cirugía nasal? ¡No caiga en las garras del síndrome de la nariz vacía! es una fiel traducción de la obra publicada por Christopher Martin ‘Having Nasal Surgery? Don’t You Become An Empty Nose Victim!, si bien la edición española incluye un nuevo prólogo del Dr. Steven M. Houser donde refiere el creciente interés mostrado por la comunidad médica en el síndrome, siendo muestra de ello la nueva bibliografía aparecida, añade nuevas páginas webs y libros de interés en los Apéndices B y D e incluye las referencias bibliográficas médicas aparecidas desde el año 2007, en que fue publicada la obra original, al año 2015. ¿Se ha sometido a una cirugía nasal? ¿se encuentra peor que antes de haberse sometido a una cirugía nasal? Si es así, usted podría ser uno de los millones de personas que padecen una afección médica grave conocida como el síndrome de nariz vacía (SNV), una complicación de la cirugía. Los síntomas del SNV incluyen dificultad para respirar, a pesar de tener una buena permeabilidad nasal,, sequedad nasal, irritación de garganta, mucosidad espesa y pegajosa, sueño superficial y, a veces, sinusitis crónica. Muchos pacientes con el SNV sufren debido a él graves depresiones e incluso algunos se suicidaron debido a los insoportables síntomas causados por el SNV. Gracias al esfuerzo y respaldo de reconocidos especialistas en SNV, Christopher Martin aporta y ofrece un mensaje genuino al lector y una esperanza para el paciente gravemente dañado por el SNV en su libro basándose en: 1.- Su propio testimonio con el que explica como él mismo viene manejando con éxito el SNV que padece desde años. 2.- Una crítica profunda y bien fundamentada de las cirugías turbinales o también conocidas como cirugías de los cornetes nasales o conchas nasales, que se expone a fin de que sea contemplada antes de que los pacientes que sufran obstrucción nasal decidan si someterse a una intervención para aliviar dicha obstrucción. 3.- Una aproximación crítica a las causas que permiten que todavía millones de personas se sometan cirugías que podrían causar el SNV. 4.- Los mejores tratamientos para SNV, muchos de los cuales también se aplican a la sinusitis, rinitis alérgica, goteo posnasal, ERGE y asma. "Chris está abordando un tema tremendamente importante en otorrinolaringología. El síndrome de la nariz vacía es una entidad real que requiere más investigación. Aunque el libro de Chris está escrito para el público en general, realmente espero que mis colegas de otorrinolaringología lo lean y lo tomen en serio . "- Steven M. Houser, MD, otorrinolaringólogo en el MetroHealth Medical Center, Profesor en la Case Western Reserve University y autor del prólogo de este libro. La edición en lengua inglesa del libro fue galardonada con la medalla de bronce en las materias relativas a salud, medicina y nutrición el año 2008 en el ámbito de la edición independiente.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incidence of invasive fungal sinusitis has been increasing over the years. The understanding of its pathophysiology has improved with newer serological tests and diagnostic methods helping in earlier diagnosis and reducing patient morbidity. It was believed earlier that invasive fungal sinusitis is seen only in immune compromised patients but clinical reports suggest otherwise. More anti-fungal drugs are being added to improve incidence of patient survival. This book aims to compile all practical information about invasive fungal sinusitis into a single volume. Therefore, busy clinicians would not have to perform exhaustive literature studies to diagnose invasive fungal sinusitis. The book aims to provide an overview of diseases which could be mistaken for invasive fungal sinusitis and discuss how the management is different. Book sections consist of clinical, microbiological, serological, pathological, radiological and pharmacological features of the disease and its management. Each section is important in today’s context as it dynamically alters the management of the patient. Early clinical suspicion and rapid microbiological, pathological and radiological diagnosis with aggressive treatment with surgical debridement and medical therapy leads to favorable outcomes.

Book excerpt: The gruesome murder of a young French physician draws aristocratic investigator Sebastian St. Cyr and his pregnant wife, Hero, into a dangerous, decades-old mystery as a wrenching piece of Sebastian’s past puts him to the ultimate test. Regency England, January 1813: When a badly injured Frenchwoman is found beside the mutilated body of Dr. Damion Pelletan in one of London’s worst slums, Sebastian finds himself caught in a high-stakes tangle of murder and revenge. Although the woman, Alexi Sauvage, has no memory of the attack, Sebastian knows her all too well from an incident in his past—an act of wartime brutality and betrayal that nearly destroyed him. As the search for the killer leads Sebastian into a treacherous web of duplicity, he discovers that Pelletan was part of a secret delegation sent by Napoleon to investigate the possibility of peace with Britain. Despite his powerful father-in-law’s warnings, Sebastian plunges deep into the mystery of the “Lost Dauphin,” the boy prince who disappeared in the darkest days of the French Revolution, and soon finds himself at lethal odds with the Dauphin’s sister—the imperious, ruthless daughter of Marie Antoinette—who is determined to retake the French crown at any cost. With the murderer striking ever closer, Sebastian must battle new fears about Hero’s health and that of their soon-to-be born child. When he realizes the key to their survival may lie in the hands of an old enemy, he must finally face the truth about his own guilt in a past he has found too terrible to consider....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “What does it mean to be lonely?” Thomas Dumm asks. His inquiry, documented in this book, takes us beyond social circumstances and into the deeper forces that shape our very existence as modern individuals. The modern individual, Dumm suggests, is fundamentally a lonely self. Through reflections on philosophy, political theory, literature, and tragic drama, he proceeds to illuminate a hidden dimension of the human condition. His book shows how loneliness shapes the contemporary division between public and private, our inability to live with each other honestly and in comity, the estranged forms that our intimate relationships assume, and the weakness of our common bonds. A reading of the relationship between Cordelia and her father in Shakespeare’s King Lear points to the most basic dynamic of modern loneliness—how it is a response to the problem of the “missing mother.” Dumm goes on to explore the most important dimensions of lonely experience—Being, Having, Loving, and Grieving. As the book unfolds, he juxtaposes new interpretations of iconic cultural texts—Moby-Dick, Death of a Salesman, the film Paris, Texas, Emerson’s “Experience,” to name a few—with his own experiences of loneliness, as a son, as a father, and as a grieving husband and widower. Written with deceptive simplicity, Loneliness as a Way of Life is something rare—an intellectual study that is passionately personal. It challenges us, not to overcome our loneliness, but to learn how to re-inhabit it in a better way. To fail to do so, this book reveals, will only intensify the power that it holds over us.

Book excerpt: My new friends have begun to suspect I haven’t told them the full story of my life. “Why did you leave Sierra Leone?” “Because there is a war.” “You mean, you saw people running around with guns and shooting each other?” “Yes, all the time.” “Cool.” I smile a little. “You should tell us about it sometime.” “Yes, sometime.” This is how wars are fought now: by children, hopped-up on drugs and wielding AK-47s. Children have become soldiers of choice. In the more than fifty conflicts going on worldwide, it is estimated that there are some 300,000 child soldiers. Ishmael Beah used to be one of them. What is war like through the eyes of a child soldier? How does one become a killer? How does one stop? Child soldiers have been profiled by journalists, and novelists have struggled to imagine their lives. But until now, there has not been a first-person account from someone who came through this hell and survived. In A Long Way Gone, Beah, now twenty-five years old, tells a riveting story: how at the age of twelve, he fled attacking rebels and wandered a land rendered unrecognizable by violence. By thirteen, he’d been picked up by the government army, and Beah, at heart a gentle boy, found that he was capable of truly terrible acts. This is a rare and mesmerizing account, told with real literary force and heartbreaking honesty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diseases of the Sinuses: A Comprehensive Textbook of Diagnosis and Treatment, 2nd Edition, offers the definitive source of information about the basic science of the sinuses and the clinical approach to sinusitis. Since the widely praised publication of the first edition, understanding of sinus disease has changed dramatically, mainly as a result of recent developments and new discoveries in the field of immunology. This updated and expanded edition is divided into sections addressing, separately, the pathogenesis, clinical presentation, medical and surgical management of acute and chronic rhinosinusitis. Special entities such as autoimmune-related sinusitis, allergy and sinusitis, and aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease are discussed in separate chapters. The role of immunodeficiency is also addressed. The management section has been fully updated to incorporate new medical modalities and surgical procedures. Developed by a distinguished group of international experts who share their expertise and insights from years of collective experience in treating sinus diseases, the book will appeal to anyone who has an interest in sinus disease, including both physicians and allied health professionals. Internists, pediatricians, allergists, otolaryngologists and infectious disease specialists will find the book to be an invaluable, comprehensive reference. Physician assistants and nurse practitioners who work with specialists who treat sinus disease will also benefit from the book.
