The book is a short patient’s guide to lymphedema and its treatment. It 
describes (in an easy to understand and conversational way) what it’s like having the illness, how one goes about getting treatment and what that treatment entails.
It also advises on how to make the best of the time at the specialist.
Lymphedema clinics exist to help patients manage this difficult and unfortunately common problem. Get to the heart of the matter by reading this insightful book.
Blockage of the lymph vessels that drain fluid from tissues throughout the body cause lymphedema. This results in impressive swelling due to a blockage of the lymph passages. This can be painful, predispose to infections and has cosmetic as well as quality of life implications. This book will give you the information and tools you need to approach understanding and treating lymphedema.
The most common reason for lymphatic obstruction is the removal or enlargement of the lymph nodes.
Causes of obstruction include:
Infections with parasites
Injury
Radiation Therapy for cancer or turmor
Skin infections
Surgery
Here is a posting from Obama’s address we wanted to share.
January 24, 2012 — In his third State of the Union address, President Barack Obama tonight spent hardly any time talking about the state of healthcare, giving short shrift to an issue that has heated partisan blood during his presidency.
Instead, the president issued a clarion call to rebuild an economy “where hard work pays off,” good jobs multiply, and fairness rules.
“We can either settle for a country where a shrinking number of people do really well, while a growing number of Americans barely get by,” Obama told a joint session of Congress. ”Or we can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules.”

President Barack Obama
|
The president decried an economy “weakened by outsourcing, bad debt, and phony financial profits.” He came down hard on banks and other financial institutions that make “risky bets” with their customers’ money.
In his 70-minute speech, Obama mentioned either “healthcare” or “health insurance” only 3 times, compared to 6 references in 2011 and 10 in 2010. Medicare and Medicaid were each mentioned just once.
Some Defense of Healthcare Reform
Obama briefly displayed some fight in defending the landmark Affordable Care Act (ACA) that was passed during the first year of his administration.
“I will not go back to the days when health insurance companies had unchecked power to cancel your policy, deny you coverage, or charge women differently from men,” Obama said. He also attempted to defang the accusation that the ACA represents socialized medicine by observing that it “relies on a reformed private market, not a government program.”
Other than that, Obama did not discuss healthcare reform. Perhaps he and administration lawyers were saving their words for the Supreme Court in late March, when they will argue in defense of the individual mandate and the dramatic expansion of the Medicaid program. If the high court invalidates the mandate, it may also strike down the entire law, as ACA critics are urging it to do.
Obama’s relative silence on healthcare also may have reflected frustration. After all, 2011 was another year of head-butting on the subject with Republican members of Congress that produced little to brag about. House Republicans voted symbolically to repeal the ACA while Senate Republicans denied Donald Berwick, MD — Obama’s pick to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and implement much of the ACA — Senate confirmation to his post. That roadblock forced the president to put Dr. Berwick on the job through a short-lived recess appointment. The well-known advocate of patient safety resigned from his post late last year before his term expired.
Meanwhile, Obama and congressional Republicans sparred in 2011 over how to reduce the massive federal deficit — an endeavor that always led to the subject of corralling Medicare costs. House Republicans voted to privatize the program by giving beneficiaries who turn 65 in 2022 a subsidy to purchase health coverage from a private insurer. Obama denounced that proposal but offered his own plan to wring $248 billion in savings from Medicare, in part by cutting provider reimbursement and raising premiums and deductibles for some seniors. Neither legislative proposal has yet gained traction.
In tonight’s speech, Obama said he is prepared to “make more reforms that rein in the long term costs of Medicare and Medicaid, and strengthen Social Security, as long as those programs remain a guarantee of security for seniors.”
Medicare Status Quo Unaffordable, Says GOP in Response
In the official GOP response to Obama’s speech, Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels Jr dwelled on healthcare more than the president did. But rather than focusing on the ACA, Daniels — a former executive with drug company Eli Lilly — took Obama and Democrats in Congress to task for their supposed unwillingness to perform drastic surgery on Medicare and Social Security.
“We must unite to save the safety net,” said Daniels. “Medicare and Social Security have served us well, and that must continue. But after half and three quarters of a century, respectively, it’s not surprising that they need some repairs. We can preserve them unchanged and untouched for those now in or near retirement, but we must fashion a new, affordable safety net so future Americans are protected, too.”
Regarding the economy, Daniel chastised Obama for harboring antagonism toward business and promoting a “pro-poverty policy.” The president inherited fiscal and economic crises only to make them worse, he said, pointing to high unemployment and mounting federal debt.
“The president’s grand experiment in trickle-down government has held back rather than sped economic recovery,” said Daniels. “He seems to sincerely believe we can build a middle class out of government jobs paid for with borrowed dollars.”

“This study adds to a large and growing body of literature on the relationship between red meat and chronic disease,” study author Adam M. Bernstein, MD, research director of the Wellness Institute at the Cleveland Clinic, Ohio, told Medscape Medical News.
Previous literature linked red meat with an increased risk for coronary heart disease, diabetes, total mortality, weight gain, and some cancers. “So here we have a number of reasons that one could reduce or eliminate red meat from the diet and find alternative, healthier sources of protein,” Dr. Bernstein added
January 20, 2012 — Two teams of H5N1 influenza virus researchers who were recently asked to limit the amount of information they published for security reasons have agreed to halt their studies for 60 days to give governments and others time to develop a plan for handling the information that has come from their research.
Ron Fouchier, MD, from the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, Yoshihiro Kawaoka, MD, from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and 37 other investigators involved with similar research discussed their decision in a letter jointly published by the journals Science and Nature today.
Responding to concerns regarding intentional or unintentional release of the virus, Drs. Fourchier and Kawaoka explain in the letter that multiple laboratories around the world work with influenza viruses, “using the highest international standards of biosafety and biosecurity practices that effectively prevent the release of transmissible viruses from the laboratory.”
Nevertheless, some critics believe this type of research should not be conducted at all.
Dr. Fouchier and his colleagues explain the importance of their work in an article published online in Sciencexpress January 19. They say their work is important because it challenges previous assumptions about H5N1 virus transmission, showing that the virus can be transmitted more easily than previously thought, without losing its lethality, and they say their research highlights the need for revising pandemic preparedness plans to cope with the large numbers of deaths and hospital admissions that would result from a pandemic.
Dr. Fouchier and his colleagues write that knowing which specific mutations and biological traits make the virus the most dangerous will allow researchers to develop more effective methods to control the virus.
“Because the surveillance and effectiveness of vaccination and antiviral drugs may depend on the virus lineage and its specific mutations, these measures need to be evaluated in the context of viruses with the most relevant genetic and biologic properties,” the authors write.
“Our work on aerosol transmission of HPAI [highly pathogenic influenza A] H5N1 virus was done completely openly, and the decision to perform the work was reached upon serious local, national, and international consultation,” write the authors.
Dr. Fouchier and coauthors explain that staff of the Department of Virology at Erasmus Medical Center have been talking about this research since 1997 and have consulted with local biosafety officers and facility managers.
“Over a period of several years, numerous international influenza specialists and other virologists operating in class 3 and class 4 facilities were consulted, and a plan was drawn to obtain adequate research facilities in Rotterdam,” write the authors.
