Synopsis:

Since its initial publication in 1990, Mayo Clinic Family Health Book has become a classic guide to your health concerns. U.S. News & World Report judged it the "number one book of its kind," and The New York Times stated, "Deserves a place on the shelf next to the dictionary and the encyclopedia." Now, revised and updated, with a new emphasis on selfhelp and prevention, this generously illustrated volume from one of the most trusted names in medicine offers the latest in medical expertise for your home reference. Part I: Your Health Through the YearsHere you'll find explanations of human growth and development, descriptions of health problems that you or your loved ones may face, and an informative Color Atlas of Human Anatomy. Part II: Staying WellFilled with prevention strategies, this section details nutrition, fitness, stress management, safety, and other subjects essential for healthy living. Part III: First Aid and Emergency CareThis section offers accessible guidance on how you can respond to conditions ranging from sunburn and cuts to chest pain and choking. Part IV: Human Diseases and DisordersIncludes detailed discussions of the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of more than 1,000 diseases and disorders, as well as the health concerns of men and women. An all-new Color Guide to the Diagnosis and Treatment of Common Disorders reveals facts about back pain, high blood pressure, breast lumps, prostate problems, joint trouble, genetics, and more. A Photographic Guide to Common Skin Disorders depicts almost 100 common ailments. Part V: Modern Medical CareThis section offers perspectives on how to obtain the best medical care from our changing health care system, including information about tests, medications, cancer treatment, home care, and dealing with death

From the Author: A book to help people live healthier lives
We published Mayo Clinic Family Health Book for one reason -- because we want to help people live healthier lives.

While my name appears on the cover of the book as the editor-in-chief, the author is Mayo Clinic. More than 400 Mayo physicians and other Mayo health professionals contributed to this book.

This is the Second Edition of Mayo Clinic Family Health Book. We reviewed every word of the original edition and added a new emphasis on staying well and self-help techniques. We added information and advice about current developments in medicine, nutrition, medications, medical tests, exercise and the healthcare system. We also developed an illustration section that helps people understand what happens inside the body if they experience back pain, hypertension, heart disease or breast cancer.

This book answers commonly asked questions about health at every stage of life and covers more than 1,000 diseases and illnesss.

Mayo Clinic Family Health Book is an example of Mayo's commitment to serve as a health information resource for the public and in providing information that is reliable and easy-to-understand. -- David E. Larson, M.D. Editor-in-Chief Mayo Clinic Family Health Book
