According to the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), approximately 50 million Americans live with chronic pain. Since the introduction of the JCAHO pain management standards, alternative approaches to pain management have been actively considered and implemented by mainstream health institutions. Complementary and Integrative Approaches to Chronic Pain is a groundbreaking book that addresses the epidemiological, ethical, economic and clinical issues surrounding the use of complementary medicine as part of an integrative pain management approach.

<p>Brain injury can occur as a result of trauma, ischemic and peripheral insult, and represents a leading cause of disability and death across all age groups. Recent reports estimate that 1.5 million Americans sustain head trauma annually. As a result, an estimated 5.3 million are living with a permanent disability. While brain injury mostly affects children and young adults (in civilian and military populations), there is also an increased incidence and prevalence in the elderly, incurring substantial quality of life, healthcare, and economic burdens. This volume was developed and generated through the Brain Injury Disorders and Management Initiative, funded by the Office of Naval Research as a conjoint project of the Samueli Institute (Alexandria, Virginia), Nazareth Hospital (Pennsylvania), and Georgetown University Medical Center (Washington, DC) to focus upon new insights to the epidemiology, mechanisms, diagnosis and care of brain injuries, as based upon the most current information generated within the neurosciences and medicine. Written by leading experts in the field, the sixteen chapters provide the reader with contemporary perspectives of (1) patho-etiologic substrates and mechanisms; (2) new and extant assessment, diagnostic and evaluative methods; and (3) interventional approaches aimed at mitigating the progression and manifestations of brain injury and their bio-psychosocial sequelae.</p>

<p>For most of his life, Jim had doubts...doubts concerning his purpose as a member of humanity...and confusion as to what kind of relationship he had with God...if God even existed. It took a seemingly insignificant letter on his refrigerator, a blustery Michigan winter morning, and an extreme close encounter with a stranger to take Jim on an incredibly unexpected journey...a journey that would touch him like no other. On this unusual trek, Jim happens upon a hockey player at a very familiar ice arena, and eventually realizes...this man...Mr.G...is more than he appears. While Jim agonizes over his life, Mr.G decides to put into perspective for him the means to discover the missing puzzle pieces of his existence. To Jim, finding the answers are a revelation but certainly not what he expected...not in a million years! ...on the Doorsteps of Heaven.....simply a MUST READ! email jim at onthedoorsteps@yahoo.com</p>
