Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about female cancers. 7. News and trends female cancers. Appendix. Bibliography. Index. This book deals with the aspects of different cancers that occur among women during their middle age (menopausal zone). Unfortunately female cancers are becoming common and are now occurring at a relatively younger age. Cancer is a dirty word and diagnosis of cancer is construed to be a death warrant. Most people including many doctors consider that cancer arises due to unknown causes and that it can neither be prevented nor treated. This is far from truth. Cancers have their genesis in faulty life style and many cancers can be prevented and if detected early can be treated fully. So cancer is a lifestyle ailment. Like many of the lifestyle ailments it owes its origin to work atmosphere changes in daily routine eating patterns sexual permissiveness and the like. In addition discoveries in the field of nutrition have added a new dimension to preventive medicine. Another notable development is the development of screening for the diagnosis of cancers in its pre symptomatic state e.g. the Colposcopy and PAP smear testing and mammography (to detect proneness to cancer cervix of the uterus and breast cancer respectively). This approach of pre emptying the disease or its cause by timely intervention in the lifestyle is of great importance. Similarly in the case of cancer cervix and ovarian cancer prevention and early detection are the keys to longer and better quality of life. What a great difference does it make prevention of cancer by proper lifestyle regular check ups appropriate food and exercise on the one hand and surgical treatment involving removal of the affected organ after the cancer has occurred or spread to other organs. It is heartening to note that cancer cervix has been controlled to a great extent in the west by taking preventive measures. India is on the march. 130 pp.

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Contents Foreword. Preface. 1. Make lifestyle changes to remain heart healthy. 2. Risk factors and healthy heart/Harry Sahota. 3. Coronary heart disease (CAD) heart attacks/Anil Grover. 4. Care of the children suffering from heart disease/I.B. Vijayalakshmi. 5. High blood pressure. 6. Alcohol and healthy heart. 7. What if the heart does not beat regularly. 8. Woman's heart special. 9. Prevention of heart failure/Anurag Sharma. 10. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). Appendices. Index. Despite the accelerating advances being made in the field of heart science the incidence of heart diseases and blood pressure is rising fast. With so many modern heart centers coming up and new beds being added for heart cases the facilities appear inadequate. The old dictum prevention is better than cure or an ounce of prevention is equal to a pound of cure are most well applicable for heart diseases. Some risk factors of heart disease can be controlled. You cannot control all the risk factors such as gender age genetics and some unknown ones. But there are many lifestyle risk factors you can change to prevent or postpone heart disease. Affluence and overindulgence in rich food and too much comfort has invited this disease in a big way. Medical studies show that eating a diet low in fat salt and cholesterol not using any type of tobacco exercising at least three times a week maintaining you ideal weight and decreasing your blood pressure can reduce your risk of heart disease. The twin evils of gluttony and sloth take a heavy toll. There are dozens of risk factors for heart disease. Those cited most often by medical men include high blood cholesterol smoking lack of exercise stress and overweight. One factor of apparent importance is smoking which has been associated in many studies with an increased risk of coronary mortality even after correction of other risk factors. It is easy to speculate on the mechanism by which smoking causes heart disease. Exposure to fumes containing free radicals may promote the growth of atherosclerotic plaques. Perhaps chronic carbon monoxide intoxication limits the heart's utilization of oxygen. In India treatment of heart diseases would be difficult to afford for ever increasing number of heart patients. Simple changes in food exercise stress habits can make all the difference in healthcare costs to the nation. 300 pp.

"The focus of this book is development of better health and its maintenance and to take preventive measures against disease for all above fifty, senior citizens and other disadvantaged sections of society viz. women, disabled, chronically ill, etc. With the fast graying of the Indian population and rapid increase of the persons above 50 in the work force of the nation, it has become imperative to take care of the health and well-being of this section of society.

The cost of treatment is simply prohibitive. Problems have got magnified due to increased longevity and consequent spurt in aged 276 pp.

The number of allergists on the other hand is minuscule. The family physician takes the allergic symptoms as trivial and their treatment as casual. Quacks have compounded the problem by liberal supply of steroids for the treatment of simple sneeze or runny nose to the rural masses. "This valuable book, written in simple understandable 246 pp.
