  • Berne and Levy Physiology E-Book

    Bruce M. Koeppen, Bruce A. Stanton

    eBook (Elsevier, Jan. 18, 2017)
    Berne & Levy Physiology has long been respected for its scientifically rigorous approach – one that leads to an in-depth understanding of the body’s dynamic processes. The long-awaited 7th Edition by Drs. Bruce M. Koeppen and Bruce A. Stanton, continues this tradition of excellence. With integrated coverage of biophysics and neurophysiology, key experimental observations and examples, and full-color design and artwork, this mid-size text is "just right" for a strong understanding of this complex field. A logical and intuitive organ-system-based approach clearly describes all of the mechanisms that control and regulate bodily function. Authored by experts with both science and medical backgrounds. More "In the Clinic" and "At the Molecular Level" boxes help readers better understand and apply what they’ve learned. New coverage includes expanded discussions of gut and lung microbiota,; the limbic system; the hypthalamus and control of food intake; cardiac and vascular function curves during exercise; new aspects of lipid absorption; GI and metabolic consequences of bariatric surgery, the role of innate lymphoid cells in defense of the respiratory system, molecular mechanisms in normal and pathological muscle contraction; arterial pulse changes with age and the ankle-brachial index; regulation of the blood-brain barrier and cerebral blood flow; the regulation of phosphate; and thyroid hormone mechanism of action. Each chapter begins with an all-new bulleted list of questions and ends with key concepts covered in that chapter.

  • A Really Big Wish: Wish for a Home

    A. H. Stanton

    Paperback (Independently published, May 15, 2017)
    Children of Veterans who are disabled but do not collect their earned disability, go through homelessness, and what they really wish to have. I have taken the point of view that my own children must see when dealing with this at a much younger age. As of the original writings, they are older teenagers. Homeless three times in just two years. Not evicted this time but our last lease was terminated due to the word HUD in HUD-VASH - a program designed to help homeless vets obtain and keep substantial housing with a percentage of housing allowance. The VA can only help a vet obtain housing once every 3-5 years. They negotiate the rental terms with the rental agent and join the program by allowing yearly renewal by inspection and financial criteria for the vet seeking housing. After our last rental was purchased from a company separate from the company that leased our apartment while mid-lease from our leasing agents company, the new vet owners decided to terminate our lease after 16 months of on-time payments. They never approached us with questions and automatically assumed a different form of HUD that has gained a bad stigma. For two years in a row, we have had to visit our teenagers over Christmas as they stay with families that are safely housed and no chance of seeing this side of the struggle again. They know that if anyone can make it happen, it will be us and it will just take precious time. I don't feel that families really have that long to wait before ruining happy years of their juvenile lives. We would love to be able to re-house vets permanently and watch their families grow instead of constantly feeling impoverished. With the sales of this book, I fully intend to not only fix our problems, but pay it forward and help others get back on their feet as well.
