This comprehensive guide with so much good advice will be of much practical value to all lymphedema patients and their difficult problems. --European Journal of Plastic Surgery The term "swelling" is used to describe an enlargement of a body part and can be used to describe edema and lymphedema. However, edema and lymphedema are clearly not the same and require different treatment approaches. Lymphedema affects 140-250 million women, men and children worldwide and results from the inability of the lymphatic system to perform one of its basic functions, the removal of water and protein from the tissues of a certain portion of the body. This insufficiency can be caused by developmental abnormalities of the lymphatic system (primary lymphedema) or damage to the lymphatic system such as the removal and/or radiation of lymph nodes in cancer surgery (secondary lymphedema). In It's Not Just a Swelling! - LYMPHEDEMA Joachim Zuther provides an up-to-date and comprehensive guide for individuals affected by Lymphedema, their caregivers, and family members. Topics include: - Anatomy of the Lymphatic System - Causes of Primary and Secondary Lymphedema and their Stages - Complications of Lymphedema, such as Infections, Cellulitis, Leakage - Lymphedema Risk Reduction, Do's and Don'ts for Lymphedema - Prevention of Lymphedema - Lymphedema and its Impact on Quality of Life - Treatment and Management of Lymphedema - Self-Management of Lymphedema (Self-MLD, Skin Care, Compression Therapy, Exercises) - Nutritional Aspects - Traveling with Lymphedema - And Much More About The Author Joachim Zuther, renowned Lymphedema Specialist, Founder of the Academy of Lymphatic Studies, author of the bestselling textbook Lymphedema Management - A comprehensive Guide for Practitioners, and co-author of numerous chapters in textbooks for Lymphedema. Mr. Zuther is a member of the International Society of Lymphology (ISL), the National Lymphedema Network (NLN), and the German Association of Lymphology (DGL). He is also a founding member of the North American Lymphedema Education Association (NALEA).
Trapped in an ancient fantastical world that has chewed him up and spit him out, one boy will stop at nothing to protect the one he loves and discover a way to obtain redemption for his past.Jace Weatherbow's childhood was stolen from him the day his father was killed in the middle of a gang raid. His mother followed not long after, leaving young Jace with an impossible decision. To save his sister, he joins the only group powerful enough to stand up to the gang responsible: the Crimson Syndicate. It is a desperate move, one he has spent the last few years regretting. Sixteen-year-old Jace knows the only way he can eventually win his freedom and provide the life his sister deserves is by securing his own Bestelion. A true masterpiece of science, alchemy, and mystery, Bestelions were once beasts that plagued primitive human tribes throughout the world. Eventually, a symbiosis was spawned between the two kingdoms, allowing a select few to live in harmony with individual Bestelions. Although the magical creatures offer the promise of change while providing him with the power to level the playing field against the gangs, only the elite of the world normally have them. After a chance encounter, Jace sets out on a quest to find the perfect Bestelion-until his past quickly catches up with him. Thenalore is a man used to getting his way. The local Crimson Syndicate captain is ruthless and cunning. He rules with an iron fist, using those like Jace to do his bidding. Backed by a small army of Bestelions, the city of Flaystrom is his. Stopping the Syndicate and Thenalore is the only way Jace can save his sister, but to do so, he will need to learn to understand wild Bestelions while finding one to tame. Can Jace wrestle away from his past and save his sister, or is he too far in with the Crimson Syndicate? The pieces are set. The game is about to begin.

"Killer Queens is a new series of historical fiction books based on true stories. The series explores the world of murder in the gay community, whether the victims or the killers themselves, and sometimes both, are homosexual. While the previous books looked at murders in the gay communities of Germany, England, and the United States, this fourth edition of the series visits Canada-a country that has embraced the gay community overall. But how true-to-life is this statement? Canada has been one of the first countries to make it legal to be gay-even legalizing gay marriages and giving same-sex benefits. Yet, when cold-blooded serial killers target the very community, the country says it supports, and law enforcement is found lacking, we have to question the rightfulness of this claim. This book is based on Toronto's Gay Villiage and the few times serial killers reigned terror upon it. As much as this series wants to point out the negative aspects of murders in the gay community in countries that don't respect gay people, it's also important to reveal its effects in countries that seemingly support gay people."
