In Memoriam xiii Preface xvii Chapter 1 Development, Mechanisms of Action and Evaluation of IUD Performance 2 Chapter 2 IUD Insertion 28 Chapter 3 Uterine Perforation 54 Chapter 4 Pelvic Inflammatory Disease 92 Chapter 5 Bleeding 138 Chapter 6 Cervical and Uterine Pathology 158 Chapter 7 Intrauterine Pregnancy 172 Chapter 8 Ectopic Pregnancy 194 Chapter 9 Return to Fertility after IUD Discontinuation 222 Chapter 10 IUD Complications in Perspective 232 Appendices 243 Index 253 Foreword Ever since Hippocrates observed that foreign bodies placed in the uterus would help to prevent pregnan cy, periodic interest in this information and its use has resulted in attempts to control unwanted fertil ity. Prior to the 1900s, this interest was somewhat episodic. Because of anxiety about infection, early attempts flourished only briefly and then were no more. In the twentieth century, however, as a result of renewed interest in intrauterine contraception, particularly in the developing countries, a number of individuals throughout the world began experiment ing with a variety of new intrauterine devices. Since then, a great number of these devices have been studied; a few have survived careful scrutiny, and IUDs now represent the second most commonly used form of medical contraception. It is estimated that approximately 15 million devices are in use at the present time, 3 to 4 million of them in the United States.

The Afterlife Experiments

Breakthrough Scientific Evidence of Life After Death

By: Gary E. Schwartz,William L. Simon

An esteemed scientist's personal journey from skepticism to wonder and awe provides astonishing answers to a timeless question: Is there life after death? Are love and life eternal? This exciting account presents provocative evidence that could upset everything that science has ever taught. Daring to risk his worldwide academic reputation, Dr. Gary E. Schwartz, along with his research partner Dr. Linda Russek, asked some of the most prominent mediums in America -- including John Edward, Suzane Northrup, and George Anderson -- to become part of a series of extraordinary experiments to prove, or disprove, the existence of an afterlife. THE AFTERLIFE EXPERIMENTS This riveting narrative, with its electrifying transcripts, puts the reader on the scene of a breakthrough scientific achievement: contact with the beyond under controlled laboratory conditions. In stringently monitored experiments, leading mediums attempted to contact dead friends and relatives of "sitters" who were masked from view and never spoke, depriving the mediums of any cues. The messages that came through stunned sitters and researchers alike. Here, as they unfolded in the laboratory setting, are uncanny revelations about a son's suicide, what a deceased father wanted to say about his last days in a coma, the transformation of a man's lifelong doubts about the afterlife, and, most amazing of all, a forecast of a beloved spouse's death. Dr. Schwartz was forced by the overwhelmingly positive data to abandon his skepticism, reaching some startling conclusions. Compelling from the first page to the last, The Afterlife Experiments is the amazing documentation of groundbreaking experiments you will never forget.

Dementia

Current Perspectives in Research and Treatment

By: Gary Christopher

This book explores how our conception of dementia has changed since its initial discovery, taking in advancements in knowledge that translate into better ways to manage the condition. Providing detailed reports of the latest research, the book explores the myriad forms of dementia. Written in accessible language, it looks at current methods of assessing and diagnosing the condition before turning to contemporary approaches to treatment. Chapters dedicated to often overlooked issues include raising awareness about how dementia affects the lives of those with an intellectual developmental disorder, the fundamental need to consider cultural differences, and the need to fully acknowledge and support informal carers. The final section of the text examines how COVID-19 has spotlighted serious gaps in healthcare for those living with dementia. Fortified with straightforward explanations and references to clinical material throughout, the book is essential reading not only for clinical psychologists in training and those in practice seeking an overview of the field and latest developments, but for a broader audience as well.

By: Gary Rosenberg,Andrew Weissman

An essential resource for social work professionals!As the focus of the health care industry shifts from predominantly hospital-based care to out-patient managed care, social workers must adapt to a new environment.

Bibliometrics in Social Work

By: Gary Holden

Bibliometrics in Social Work reviews the pros and cons of using bibliometrics to track patterns of publication in social work research. This book is a valuable aid in helping social work scholars decide what - and where - to publish with a particular emphasis placed on citation analysis. The book includes a study of articles published in Social Work in Health Care during the 1990s and the subsequent citations elsewhere, a proposal for a bibliometric decision-making aid for use by faculty committees in academic employment decisions, and a critical look at the future of bibliometric research."--BOOK JACKET.

Genetic Steroid Disorders

Chapter 12. Genetics of Adrenal Tumors

By: Antonio M. Lerario,Thomas J. Giordano,Gary D. Hammer

Adrenocortical tumors (ACT) are common neoplasms, with a prevalence that increases with age, reaching a peak of 6% after 60 years. Most are benign cortical adenomas (ACA). Their malignant counterparts, adrenocortical carcinomas (ACC), are rare and are usually associated with a dismal prognosis. The genetic basis of adrenocortical tumorigenesis is not completely understood, but is thought to be a multistep process. Over the past two decades many molecular aspects of ACT tumorigenesis have been uncovered, especially after the elucidation of the molecular basis of genetic syndromes of which ACTs are a feature. More recently, genome-wide expression profiles and animal models have provided new insights into the explanation of this complex process. Many of the key genes and pathways have been elucidated and are the current focus of therapeutic intervention. Integrated pangenomic and other global analyses will be done in the coming years and promise to advance our understanding of adrenocortical tumorigenesis to a higher level.
