Jabbed: How the Vaccine Industry, Medical Establishment, and Government Stick It to You and Your Family
by Brett WilcoxJabbed demonstrates that the medical procedure hailed as the greatest medical advancement in history—vaccines—is a racket run by criminals and gullible believers who have replaced vaccine science with the religion of vaccinology. Vaccine marketers teach believers to fear, shame, and scapegoat anyone foolish enough to question the sanctity of vaccines. Such an environment is not the domain of science; rather it’s the breeding ground of tyranny.Jabbed exposes this tyranny. From polio and smallpox to medical journals, medical curricula, congressional hearings, regulatory policies, White House statements, and executive orders, Jabbed shines light on the dark underbelly of Big Pharma, Big Medicine, and Big Government.A vaccine informed public is the only thing that will have the power to stop vaccine industry sociopaths and to hold them accountable for their crimes.Jabbed informs and immunizes against three of the most dangerous epidemics in history: tyranny, greed, and corruption. Once immunized, the growing vaccine-informed community will have the power to stand up and dismantle the vaccine paradigm and program and to punish the perpetrators of what may well be the greatest medical fraud ever perpetrated on the human race: vaccines.
Jaboticaba Berry: A Brazilian Superfruit
by Roberto de Paula do Nascimento Ana Paula da Fonseca Machado Ângela Giovana Batista Mario Roberto Marostica JuniorJaboticaba Berry (Plinia spp.), a native fruit from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, has been associated with several benefits for the prevention or therapy of chronic diseases due to its promising set-up of antioxidants and nutrients. Jaboticaba shows a distinguished amount of bioactive compounds when compared to other popular berries, which instigates great interest in pharmaceutical and food usage. The many parts of the berry, but especially the seed and peel by-products, are rich in dietary fibers and phenolic compounds and therefore have been able to counteract the negative implications of obesity, diabetes, inflammation, hepatic complications, and cancers, as shown by experimental studies. The development of new products and alternative therapies calls for the understanding of jaboticaba’s history, occurrence, morphology, nutritional and chemical composition, and industrial usage potential, reunited in this book. Well-founded and cutting-edge Jaboticaba berry: A Brazilian superfruit aims to instigate and inspire researchers, health and academic professionals, food and pharmaceutical scientists, educators, students, and all of those interested in natural products, herbal medicine, innovative alternative therapies, and sustainable use of by-products.

Der Leser kann sich durch Selbst-Studium die wichtigsten Grundlagen zur Finanzierung im Krankenhaus aneignen, sodass eine fachliche Diskussion mit Betriebswirten in Gesundheitseinrichtungen möglich wird. Das Werk richtet sich auch an Bachelorstudierende mit Bezug zum Gesundheitswesen sowie an Teilnehmer von MBA-Programmen für Nicht-Betriebswirte.
Jak-Inhibitors in Dermatology
by Ayşe Serap Karadağ Ümit TürsenThis book covers the clinical usage of JAK inhibitors, which target Janus kinases and have shown promising results in the treatment of various dermatologic conditions, including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, vitiligo, connective tissue disorders, autoimmune bullous diseases and alopecia areata. It is likely that JAK inhibitors will continue to play an important role in the management of these conditions, with clinical trials ongoing to assess their safety and efficacy in the treatment of other dermatologic disorders, such as vitiligo and hidradenitis suppurativa. However, it is important to note that JAK inhibitors can have potential side effects, including increased risk of infections, anemia and thrombosis. Therefore, careful monitoring of patients receiving JAK inhibitors is necessary to ensure their safety.Jak Inhibitors in Dermatology represents a treatise on this novel topic and discusses that while JAK inhibitors have shown great promise in the treatment of various dermatologic conditions, further research and monitoring is necessary to fully understand their potential benefits and risks. This book is therefore of great interest for all dermatologists as a first step to understanding this novel treatment.
Jak-Stat Signaling: From Basics to Disease
by Mathias Müller Thomas DeckerJAK tyrosine kinases and STAT transcription factors constitute a signaling pathway, which is activated by cytokines. By activating gene transcription it regulates essential biological responses to environmental cues. The Jak-Stat pathway is involved in the regulation of cell development, differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis. Improper function may contribute to hematopoietic malignancies and cancer. This book provides comprehensive insights into the latest basic and clinical developments in the field. The first part reviews recent findings and new technologies pertaining to basics of Jak-Stat function. The second part describes the evolution of Jak-Stat signaling and the role of the pathway in invertebrate organisms. The third part focuses on Jak-Stat signaling in hematopoietic cells under both physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Finally, chapters in the fourth section describe the relationship of Jak-Stat signaling to various states of disease, particularly infection, leukemias and solid cancers. The book is intended for all scientists in molecular biology, biochemistry and cell biology dealing with biomedical issues.

Jan Gösta Waldenström and His World: The Life and Work of a Giant in Science, Medicine and Humanity (Springer Biographies)
by Frank WollheimJan Waldenström (1906-1996) was the leading Swedish internist of the twentieth century. The first chapter of the book presents his remarkable family including five generations of physicians. Born in Stockholm, we follow JW to medical school at Uppsala University during 1924–33. In 1934–5, he spent a year in the laboratory of Nobel Laureate Hans Fischer in Munich. In 1937, he defended a landmark thesis on acute intermittent porphyria. As “Docent” (assistant professor) in Uppsala, he discovered two new diseases in 1943. In 1944–5, he spent 7 months in the US commissioned by the Swedish Health Board. This started friendships with leading colleagues and scientists. With time, JW fostered a worldwide network of contacts and became a most influential international star. But this was just the beginning. The book follows Waldenström's remarkable career including his description of chronic active hepatitis as a new disease, his introduction of nuclear medicine in Sweden, his pioneering of the concept of the concept of poly- and monoclonal gammopathies, and many more highly significant achievements.

January First: A Child's Descent into Madness and Her Father's Struggle to Save Her
by Michael SchofieldMichael Schofield's daughter January is at the mercy of her imaginary friends, except they aren't the imaginary friends that most young children have; they are hallucinations. And January is caught in the conflict between our world and their world, a place she calls Calalini. Some of these hallucinations, like "24 Hours," are friendly and some, like "400 the Cat" and "Wednesday the Rat," bite and scratch her until she does what they want. They often tell her to scream at strangers, jump out of buildings, and attack her baby brother. At six years old, January Schofield, "Janni," to her family, was diagnosed with schizophrenia, one of the worst mental illnesses known to man. What's more, schizophrenia is 20 to 30 times more severe in children than in adults and in January's case, doctors say, she is hallucinating 95 percent of the time that she is awake. Potent psychiatric drugs that would level most adults barely faze her. January First captures Michael and his family's remarkable story in a narrative that forges new territory within books about mental illness. In the beginning, readers see Janni's incredible early potential: her brilliance, and savant-like ability to learn extremely abstract concepts. Next, they witnesses early warning signs that something is not right, Michael's attempts to rationalize what's happening, and his descent alongside his daughter into the abyss of schizophrenia. Their battle has included a two-year search for answers, countless medications and hospitalizations, allegations of abuse, despair that almost broke their family apart and, finally, victories against the illness and a new faith that they can create a life for Janni filled with moments of happiness. A compelling, unsparing and passionate account, January First vividly details Schofield's commitment to bring his daughter back from the edge of insanity. It is a father's soul-baring memoir of the daily struggles and challenges he and his wife face as they do everything they can to help Janni while trying to keep their family together. From the Hardcover edition.
