David Hollar shares memories of his time as an infantry lieutenant in South Vietnam. He and his men endured the jungle's heat, bugs, mosquitoes, snakes, swamps, rice patties, monsoon rains, and the endless grind of being a "grunt" in Vietnam. As a platoon leader at the age of 25, he was responsible for the lives and welfare of 30 young soldiers. Lt. Hollar's battalion headquarters was located at Dau Tieng about 45 miles northwest of Saigon, ...

David's story begins on March 11, 1989 when he has a massive heart attack. He tells of his nearly fatal episode of heart arrhythmia and the stress of having an implantable defibrillator in his abdomen for twenty months. He struggles to accept that his chance for a miracle transplant can only occur when another person dies. David receives a new heart in 1991 at the age of 46 and he tells how it has affected him and his family. "Mr. NewHeart" co...

The purpose of this book is to provide public health, disability, and rehabilitation professionals and practitioners evidence-based science with respect to health disparities faced by people with disabilities, especially people with mobility limitations, alternative methods of rehabilitation and exercise science for this population, assistive device technology, and, improved access to health care, employment, and social participation. Accordin...

This innovative volume introduces Trajectory Analysis, a new systems-based approach to measuring nonlinear dynamics in continuous change, to public health and epidemiology. It synthesizes influential strands of statistical and probability science (including chaos theory and catastrophe theory) to complement existing methods and models used in the health fields. The computational framework featured here pinpoints complex cause-and-effect proces...

This stimulating volume addresses vital questions about gene/environment interactions as they affect cell health from the prenatal period through later life. Beginning with a tour of epigenetic processes in the human body, the book assembles current theoretical and empirical developments across the discipline, among them transgenerational epigenetic inheritance, the effects of maternal nutrition on epigenetic change, and possible links between...

This practice-enhancing resource assembles a robust evidence base on the state of disability and mobility limitations today, spotlighting common barriers to improved health among people with disabilities and new directions in reducing them. Its lifespan/advocacy approach to promoting exercise and reducing health disparities puts equal focus on the roles of medical and social factors in fostering the cycle of disability. From recognizing these ...
