The United States is among the wealthiest nations in the world, but it is far from the healthiest. Although life expectancy and survival rates in the United States have improved dramatically over the past century, Americans live shorter lives and experience more injuries and illnesses than people in other high-income countries. The U.S. health disadvantage cannot be attributed solely to the adverse health status of racial or ethnic minorities or poor people: even highly advantaged Americans are in worse health than their counterparts in other, "peer" countries. In light of the new and growing evidence about the U.S. health disadvantage, the National Institutes of Health asked the National Research Council (NRC) and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to convene a panel of experts to study the issue. The Panel on Understanding Cross-National Health Differences Among High-Income Countries examined whether the U.S. health disadvantage exists across the life span, considered potential explanations, and assessed the larger implications of the findings. U.S. Health in International Perspective presents detailed evidence on the issue, explores the possible explanations for the shorter and less healthy lives of Americans than those of people in comparable countries, and recommends actions by both government and nongovernment agencies and organizations to address the U.S. health disadvantage.

The updated edition of the third of three vollumes on Medical Physics presents modern physical methods for medical therapy with a focus on tumor treatment. It provides background information on radiation biology, radiation response of tissues, and linear energy transfer through radiation. Therapies with external radiation sources (x-rays, protons, neutrons) as well as internal radiation sources (brachytherapy) are discussed in detail. Other chapters deal with the use of lasers and nanoparticles in modern medicine. This volume closes with a short chapter on medical statistics. NEW: highlighted boxes emphasize specifi c topics; math boxes explain more advanced mathematical issues; each chapter concludes with a summary of the key concepts, questions, exercises, and a self-assessment of the acquired competence. The appendix provides answers to questions and solutions to exercises.

Those who offer prayer in the present moment can feel their thoughts and act without self-judgment and similarly accept others without judgment. They consciously observe people, places and situations without changing themselves and accept people as they were. They remain aware and receptive to signals which are received by the body. They are fully alert and centered, free from fear and the need to impress others. They are able to know sensations which produce contractions or expansions in the body. There is no need to resist. They breathe in more warmth and energy and tensions have to surface and disappear. In the present moment, one accepts things as they are.

This textbook for a muscle physiology course overviews neuromuscular involvement in physical activity, how the neuromuscular system is used, and how it responds to fatiguing exercise and to changes in chronic activation levels. Gardiner (University of Montreal) covers muscle fiber types, motor units, and both endurance and strength training. No exercises are provided. c. Book News Inc.

Medical Physics covers the applied branch of physics concerned with the application of concepts and methods of physics to diagnostics and therapeutics of human diseases. The first part, Physical and Physiological Aspects of the Body, covers those body systems that have a strong physical component, such as body mechanics, energy household, action potential, signal transmission in neurons, respiratory and circulatory system as well as visual and sound perception. The second part of this volume, Imaging Modalities without Ionizing Radiation, introduces sonography, endoscopy, and magnetic resonance imaging. The second volume complements the imaging modalities with the use of ionizing radiation: x-ray radiography, scintigraphy, SPECT, and PET. This first part is followed by chapters on radiation treatment of tumors, in particular x-ray radiotherapy, proton and neutron radiation therapy, and brachytherapy. The last part treats aspects of diagnostics and therapeutics beyond radiology, including laser applications, multifunctional nanoparticles and prosthetics. This first volume - connects the basic principles of physics with the functionality of the body and with physical methods used for diagnostics and therapeutics. - covers the first part of the entire field, including the physics of the body and imaging methods without the use of ionizing radiation. - provides an introduction for Bachelor students to the main concepts of Medical Physics during their first semesters guiding them to further specialized and advanced literature. - contains many questions & answers related to the content of each chapter. - is also available as a set together with Volume 2. Contents Part A: Physical and physiological aspects of the body Brief overview of body parts and functions Body mechanics and muscles Elastomechanics: bones and fractures Energy household of the body Resting potential and action potential Signal transmission in neurons Electrophysical aspects of the heart The circulatory system The respiratory system Kidneys Basic mechanism of vision Sound and sound perception Part B: Imaging modalities without ionizing radiation Sonography Endoscopy Magnetic resonance imaging Questions & answers

Games and sports are as old as human society and have achieved an universal following in the modern times. These have become integral part of educational process. Millions of people take part in sports activities for either recreational purposes or for health, strength and fitness and for displaying superiority over others in competition sports. Some competitive games and sports are taking shape of a profession with high skills, and with ample financial benefits linked with high degree of popularity.
