Tell Me Everything You Don't Remember: The Stroke That Changed My Life
by Christine Hyung-Oak LeeA memoir of reinvention after a stroke at age thirty-three.Christine Hyung-Oak Lee woke up with a headache on the morning of December 31, 2006. By that afternoon, she saw the world—quite literally—upside down. By New Year’s Day, she was unable to form a coherent sentence. And after hours in the ER, days in the hospital, and multiple questions and tests, her doctors informed her that she had had a stroke. For months afterward, Lee outsourced her memories to a journal, taking diligent notes to compensate for the thoughts she could no longer hold on to. It is from these notes that she has constructed this frank and compelling memoir.In a precise and captivating narrative, Lee navigates fearlessly between chronologies, weaving her childhood humiliations and joys together with the story of the early days of her marriage; and then later, in painstaking, painful, and unflinching detail, the account of her stroke and every upset—temporary or permanent—that it caused. Lee illuminates the connection between memory and identity in an honest, meditative, and truly funny manner, utterly devoid of self-pity. And as she recovers, she begins to realize that this unexpected and devastating event has provided a catalyst for coming to terms with her true self—and, in a way, has allowed her to become the person she’s always wanted to be.

Tell Your Children: The Truth About Marijuana, Mental Illness, and Violence
by Alex BerensonAn eye-opening report from an award-winning author and former New York Times reporter reveals the link between teenage marijuana use and mental illness, and a hidden epidemic of violence caused by the drug—facts the media have ignored as the United States rushes to legalize cannabis.Recreational marijuana is now legal in nine states. Almost all Americans believe the drug should be legal for medical use. Advocates argue cannabis can help everyone from veterans to cancer sufferers. But legalization has been built on myths– that marijuana arrests fill prisons; that most doctors want to use cannabis as medicine; that it can somehow stem the opiate epidemic; that it is not just harmless but beneficial for mental health. In this meticulously reported book, Alex Berenson, a former New York Times reporter, explodes those myths: • Almost no one is in prison for marijuana; • A tiny fraction of doctors write most authorizations for medical marijuana, mostly for people who have already used; • Marijuana use is linked to opiate and cocaine use. Since 2008, the US and Canada have seen soaring marijuana use and an opiate epidemic. Britain has falling marijuana use and no epidemic; • Most of all, THC—the chemical in marijuana responsible for the drug’s high—can cause psychotic episodes. After decades of studies, scientists no longer seriously debate if marijuana causes psychosis. Psychosis brings violence, and cannabis-linked violence is spreading. In the four states that first legalized, murders have risen 25 percent since legalization, even more than the recent national increase. In Uruguay, which allowed retail sales in July 2017, murders have soared this year. Berenson’s reporting ranges from the London institute that is home to the scientists who helped prove the cannabis-psychosis link to the Colorado prison where a man now serves a thirty-year sentence after eating a THC-laced candy bar and killing his wife. He sticks to the facts, and they are devastating. With the US already gripped by one drug epidemic, this book will make readers reconsider if marijuana use is worth the risk.

Telling Tales About Dementia
by Edited by Lucy WhitmanHow does it feel when someone you love develops dementia? How do you cope with the shock, the stress and the grief? Can you be sure that you and your family will receive the support you need? In Telling Tales About Dementia, thirty carers from different backgrounds and in different circumstances share their experiences of caring for a parent, partner or friend with dementia. They speak from the heart about love and loss: 'I still find it hard to believe that Alzheimer's has happened to us,' writes one contributor, 'as if we were sent the wrong script. ' The stories told here vividly reflect the tragedy of dementia, the gravity of loss, and instances of unsatisfactory diagnosis, treatment and care. But they contain hope and optimism too: clear indications that the quality of people's lives can be enhanced by sensitive support services, by improved understanding of the impact of dementia, by recognising the importance of valuing us all as human beings, and by embracing and sustaining the connections between us. This unique collection of personal accounts will be an engaging read for anyone affected by dementia in a personal or professional context, including relatives of people with dementia, social workers, medical practitioners and care staff.
Telling the Stories of Life through Guided Autobiography Groups

Telltale Hearts: A Public Health Doctor, His Patients, and the Power of Story
by Dean-David SchillingerIn this illuminating work, a doctor and public health advocate reveals what his patients have taught him about patience and healing. For over three decades, Dr. Dean-David Schillinger has served in one of the country&’s busiest and most important public hospitals. A public health leader and primary care physician for underserved patients, Schillinger learned that high-tech tests and novel medications are often not enough to save lives. Rather, accurate diagnosis, treatment and true healing come from listening deeply to patients and their stories. In Telltale Hearts, Schillinger reveals what is lost when patients&’ stories are ignored or overlooked, and how much is gained when these stories are actively elicited. The stories themselves, at times shocking and always revelatory, disclose secrets, prompt awe, forge unexpected connections, and even catalyze public health action.Telltale Hearts serves as a call to action, urging us to reshape public policy to improve the nation's health.

Telomere Territory and Cancer
by Parvin MehdipourTiming, racing, combating, struggling and targeting are some actions through which cellular fate could be reflected and evaluated. Interaction between cell territory and environment occur during pre-embryonic, fetal development, and post-natal periods. What the researchers observe as the outcome of telomeres behavior is only the peak of an ice mountain within a stormy ocean. Cellular life depends on programmed behavior of telomeres, capable to surprise the cells. Telomeres provide an introduction to the history of our cells which govern the quality of life and status of health. Telomeres as the cooperative territory are capable of stabilizing the chromosomal territory. The status of telomeres reflects the key information, announcing the real age of individuals, and may be a valuable marker for prognosis and predicting cancer. Telomere territory is characterized with a multi-disciplinary manner. Therefore, this book is aimed to offer a wide range of chapters, hoping to be useful for diverse audiences, including hematologists-oncologists, radiotherapists, surgeons, cancer researchers, and all the sectors who affect the macro- and micro- environmental domains. Finally, telomeres are sensitive, cooperative, and trustable targets. It is worth to state that 'telomeres are messengers of NATURE', let's to know them as they are.
Telomeres and Telomerase in Cancer
by Keiko HiyamaTelomerase, an enzyme that maintains telomeres and endows eukaryotic cells with immortality, was first discovered in tetrahymena in 1985. In 1990s, it was proven that this enzyme also plays a key role in the infinite proliferation of human cancer cells. Now telomere and telomerase are widely accepted as important factors involved in cancer biology, and as promising diagnostic tools and therapeutic targets. Recently, role of telomerase in "cancer stem cells" has become another attractive story. Until now, there are several good books on telomere and telomerase focusing on biology in ciliates, yeasts, and mouse or basic sciences in human, providing basic scientists or students with updated knowledge.
Telomeres, Diet and Human Disease: Advances and Therapeutic Opportunities
by Amelia Marti Guillermo ZalbaThe maintenance of telomeres—repetitive sequences at the end of chromosome—is essential to health. Dysfunction in telomere maintenance pathways plays a role in aging, cancer, atherosclerosis and other diseases. This has led to telomere maintenance as a prime target for patient therapies. This book describes the advances in telomere research as it applies to human health and especially how lifestyle and dietary factors could modify the telomerase maintenance process. The book examines the mechanisms involved, the primary of which are oxidative stress and the role of sirtuins, and how they can be modified by dietary patterns such as Mediterranean diet.

Temperament and Children: Profiles of Individual Differences
by Roy P. Martin A. Michele Lease Helena R. SlobodskayaThe book presents an empirical model of commonly occurring individual differences in children that is derived from a large-scale research effort assessing parental and teacher perceptions of children in middle childhood. It examines eight characteristic behavioral traits, most of which have been widely shown to be present in infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children. The book demonstrates the importance of considering profiles of these relatively stable individual differences for the educational, social, and emotional life of the child. It describes characteristic behaviors of children within each profile – emphasizing the assets and liabilities of each – and how they are perceived by their parents, teachers, and peers. Chapters explore issues related to the most developmentally effective management of children exhibiting each profile type.In addition, the book addresses a critical need in child development, parenting, and teaching to understand the wide range of individual differences observed every day in school-aged children. Not only does this volume underscore that commonly occurring differences can be understood as being normal and do not suggest a pathology, it also discusses implications of the model in diagnosing pathology. The book describes what is known about the stability of temperament behaviors and profiles across the lifespan as well as the origins of these behaviors.Key topics addressed include:Nurturing development of well-adjusted children.Causes of individual differences in children’s behavior.Temperamental tendencies and profiles of children.Diagnosing psychopathology in children.This book is a must-have resource for researchers, professors, and graduate students as well as clinicians and related professionals in developmental, clinical child and school psychology, social work, public health, pediatrics, family studies, educational psychology and counseling, and all other interrelated disciplines.
Temperament und Kinder: Profile der individuellen Unterschiede
by Roy P. Martin A. Michele Lease Helena R. SlobodskayaDas Buch stellt ein empirisches Modell der häufig vorkommenden individuellen Unterschiede bei Kindern vor, das aus einer groß angelegten Forschungsarbeit abgeleitet wurde, bei der die Wahrnehmungen von Eltern und Lehrern von Kindern in der mittleren Kindheit untersucht wurden. Es werden acht charakteristische Verhaltensmerkmale untersucht, von denen die meisten nachweislich bei Säuglingen, Kleinkindern und Kindern im Vorschulalter vorhanden sind. Das Buch zeigt, wie wichtig die Berücksichtigung von Profilen dieser relativ stabilen individuellen Unterschiede für das pädagogische, soziale und emotionale Leben des Kindes ist. Es beschreibt charakteristische Verhaltensweisen von Kindern innerhalb jedes Profils - wobei die Vorzüge und Nachteile jedes Profils hervorgehoben werden - und wie sie von ihren Eltern, Lehrern und Gleichaltrigen wahrgenommen werden. In den Kapiteln werden Fragen im Zusammenhang mit dem entwicklungsmäßig effektivsten Umgang mit Kindern, die die einzelnen Profiltypen aufweisen, untersucht.Darüber hinaus befasst sich das Buch mit dem kritischen Bedürfnis in der kindlichen Entwicklung, der Elternschaft und dem Unterricht, die große Bandbreite individueller Unterschiede zu verstehen, die täglich bei Kindern im Schulalter beobachtet werden. Dieser Band unterstreicht nicht nur, dass häufig auftretende Unterschiede als normal angesehenwerden können und nicht auf eine Pathologie hindeuten, sondern erörtert auch die Auswirkungen des Modells auf die Diagnose von Pathologien. Das Buch beschreibt, was über die Stabilität von Verhaltensweisen und Profilen des Temperaments über die gesamte Lebensspanne hinweg bekannt ist, sowie die Ursprünge dieser Verhaltensweisen. Zu den wichtigsten Themen gehören: Förderung der Entwicklung von Kindern, die sich gut entwickeln. Ursachen für individuelle Unterschiede im Verhalten von Kindern. Temperamentvolle Tendenzen und Profile von Kindern. Diagnose von Psychopathologie bei Kindern. Dieses Buch ist ein unverzichtbares Hilfsmittel für Forscher, Professoren und Studenten sowie für Kliniker und verwandte Berufsgruppen in den Bereichen Entwicklungs-, klinische Kinder- und Schulpsychologie, Sozialarbeit, öffentliches Gesundheitswesen, Pädiatrie, Familienstudien, pädagogische Psychologie und Beratung sowie allen anderen verwandten Disziplinen.
