Paperback. Condizione: new. Dominique, Dawné (illustratore). Paperback. Dr. Kimberly Powell, a Ph.D. in neuropsychology, works in a research lab trying to understand the roots of violence by stimulating the brains of aggressive rats to reduce their savagery.Her successes lead to phase I safety trials in volunteers and prisoners, and then to phase II and III studies in patients. Soon it becomes clear that Kim's brain stimulating techniques, besides controlling aggression, offer the potential to cure a number of medical problems including Parkinson's disease, depression, PTSD, and many others.When the court instructs her to treat a psychopathic killer, she's appalled. What would such a killer, if cured, still owe to his victims and to society?The ethical implications of the research and especially its application on humans are substantial, but so, too, is her altruistic desire to help.Where is the balance and how far and how fast should these trials proceed-and, at what cost?

Paperback. Condizione: new. Dominique, Dawné (illustratore). Paperback. A Simple Cure engages the reader in the search for the cure of malignant melanoma. While an uncommon skin cancer, one American dies of melanoma almost every hour (every 61 minutes). The incidence rate has tripled in the last twenty years. When nature, in her ultimate act of irony, strikes Richard Powell, a cancer specialist, with malignant melanoma, a highly aggressive form of cancer, his wife, Terri devotes her life to curing the disease that ultimately kills her husband. While research laboratories are characterized as noble in search of cures, and proprietary drug companies are caricatured as ruthless and materialistic, too often, the distinctions aren't so clear. The murder of a drug courier to obtain an experimental and promising treatment for malignant melanoma, unleashes a chain of devastating consequences. People for Alternative Treatment, a company created to find cures for rare diseases, had fallen on hard times and become a subsidiary of Kendall Pharmaceuticals, a company with very different values. Experimentation with a vaccine against tuberculosis is showing surprising effects in controlling malignant melanoma at PAT and UC Medical Center. Kendall is enthralled with the economic potential of such a treatment, while researchers are leery and have many unanswered questions. Kendall's determination to push the vaccine into clinical trial at all costs is in conflict with Terri and her ethical associates. When clinical trials begin, the vaccine's effects are miraculous. Soon, however, once again, we see the rule of unintended consequences. This item is printed on demand.

Abbie struggles to discover the identity of the strangler and those who may be abetting his actions. Will he/they get away with it?FROM FIVE STAR REVIEW: SENSITIVE TOPICS, June 30, 2014 By gayle pace "May A Rainbow Shine Down On You!"This review is from: Tortured Memory (Brier Hospital Series) (Paperback) This book has some very sensitive topics but sometimes these topics need to be addressed. The author wrote a wonderful crime thriller that kept you on your toes every minute. I couldn't put the book down. It just kept those pages turning and turning.Abbie Adler, the psychiatrist in the book and the main character was very realistic and you just had to like her. My problem with her was, why did she keep going on with these clients who totally didn't want her help, they were playing games. They didn't give her all the information she needed. I think she was just too good for her own good. Maybe she was trying to help someone who had gone through what she had. Hoping that it wouldn't happen again. That to me is unrealistic. It has happened for years and will continue to happen. There are those people out there that are either sick, demented or just get off by these horrible acts. Some don't want help. Some take the help but don't improve. The characters seemed to click together. There was this bond between some of them.The ending was nothing like I expected. I was truly surprised and amazed.
