Nothing beyond the basics 3 out of 5 stars.
9 of 9 people found this review helpful.

The book covers the basics of impotence: physcial and psychological causes. The authors seem to emphasize the psychological more so. Yet their therapeutic suggestions in this area are just about nonexistent.

Their discussion of Viagra is just poor; it is not connected well to their previous chapters. What physical and emotional problems can Viagra overcome and to what degree? Or how long do the effects of Viagra last; all that is stated is how long it takes to become effective. Something is needed beyond the minimal.

The book just does not go past the first level in anything. All in all, I would certainly hope that there is a better book out there for the lay person.

Editorial Review:

An up-to-date guide to male sexual function for those men and their partners concerned about overcoming or preventing impotence, this book offers the information that is key to lifelong potency. In spite of the attention accompanying the release of Viagra and other drugs, many men and women remain broadly ignorant about the causes of occasional or chronic sexual dyscunction. The authors bring together medical and pscyholgical expertize to explain both healthy male sexual function and the problems that lead to impotence. The book details all the available treatment options, with an emphasis on prevention. Special topics include impotence and ageing, myths and fallacies about male sexual function, female sexuality and impotence, and a complete examination of the new impotence drugs. As the authors emphasize, knowledge is essential to the maintenance of sexual health and the successful treatment of impotence.

Very informative... but could be more... 4 out of 5 stars.
22 of 22 people found this review helpful.

HPV is a little known STD/virus... but yet is the #1 STD on the planet. Information on HPV needs to be more accessible to women and their partners. This book is a wonderful step forward in doing so.

This book has a lot of information on the virus itself, and how it infects the body to cause dysplasia and potentially cervical cancer. (The first chapter is more clinical than the rest.) There are some guidelines for preventing the spread, but I do have some complaints on some things the book seems to miss:

- More information on treatments and their side effects/recovery expectations.
- The book seems to concentrate on cervical cancer being the major concern... and while it is deadly, most cervical cancers are preventable by catching dysplasia early. My primary concern is with dysplasia itself, and the frustration of treating and follow-up with it.
- There's not a lot of information on what you can do to help mild dysplasia (the most common diagnosis) heal on it's own.
- The book doesn't cover a lot about multiple HPV strain infections (which I believe is important information for anyone not in a monogamous relationship.)

There's still a lot of missing information in medical science in regards to HPV...and hopefully as more is known, future editions of this and other books will incorporate what is found and be able to give us useful information on preventing and treating HPV relate conditions.

Overall, I highly encourage all sexually active people to educate themselves on HPV and other STDs. This book is an excellent choice for this, especially if you're curious as to HOW the virus infects.

Editorial Review:

Human Papilloma Virus - HPV - is a sexually transmitted disease that is known as "the silent killer" because its symptoms are so ambiguous most people don't know they have it. A proven precursor to both cervical and penile cancer, HPV can be deadly if left untreated. With 70 known strains of the virus in existence, HPV is widespread and - since condoms don't protect you - it infects over a million people per year in the US alone. This book aims to raise awareness of this disease, as well as other abnormal smear tests, and provide much-needed information and support for those infected, including self-examination that can be done at home.

Editorial Review:

Over the last few years there has been a substantial increase in the interest not only by the medical profession but also the media in the role of testosterone in health and disease. This interest has been mirrored by a rapid increase in research publications and development of improved modes of delivery of testosterone therapy. This new pocketbook provides a comprehensive but concise and up-to-date knowledge of established and salient new data on the management of testosterone deficiency.
It includes a background of essential knowledge on the diagnosis, treatment and safety. It also explores the associations of testosterone deficiency with organ systems and their diseases such as diabetes and osteoporosis.

A cornerstone of a transcriptionist's library 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

Stedman's publishes a great many word books, all of which are excellent. They contain hundreds of pages of terms, nicely cross-referenced (e.g. "endoscopic pancreatography" found both under E and P), which is essential. Their research is ongoing and exhaustive, and results in the best publications of this type. While some of their specialty books may be done without by the average transcriptionist, GI/GU is a necessity for all MTs but those who transcribe only for a specific specialty like dentistry or psychiatry. Highly recommended. Even after three-plus years as a full-time MT, I use mine very frequently.

If you are a MD renal medicine sometimes is a dark place in our daily activities, this book is a fun way to get the basics about Acute renal failure. I think, of course, that ít shouldn't be the only source of information, just a source of pearls, for a futher study
