This book covers the major types of syncope that a person might experience.It is very good at presenting technical information in layman's terms without making the science sound like magic.Syncope can be a very ominous diagnosis because the underlying mechanisms are not all known.This book is a good primer for someone who has been diagnosed with one of the major types or recurrent syncope such as neurocardiogenic or orthostatic.I wish I had this book when I was first diagnosed. ...

Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Fainting," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Fainting in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Fainting when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Fainting, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

Description:
The present study examines the structural relations between disgust sensitivity, anxiety symptoms, blood-injection-injury (BII) fears, and fainting symptoms associated with BII fears in 259 nonclinical participants. Results revealed that both disgust and BII fear were independent predictors of fainting symptoms. However, structural equation modeling revealed that the relation between disgust sensitivity and fainting was reduced to negative and non-significance when the path from BII fear to fainting was also introduced. Subsequent analysis indicated that the relation between disgust sensitivity and fainting symptoms was fully mediated by BII fear. It was also found that animal reminder disgust was related to fainting symptoms whereas core disgust was not. However, the relation between animal reminder disgust and fainting was also fully mediated by BII fear. Furthermore, anxiety symptoms did not add directly to the structural model predicting fainting associated with BII fears. Implications of these findings for better understanding the interaction of the emotional mechanisms that mediate fainting responses in BII phobia are discussed. ... Read more

Excerpt: A couch is a generic term in North America, Australia, and New Zealand for an item of furniture designed to seat more than one person. Typically it will have an armrest on either side. Couches are normally found in the family room, living room, den or the lounge. They are covered in a variety of textiles or in leather. Other terms synonymous with the above definition of couch are sofa (derived from the Arabic word "suffah") and settee. Portuguese rosewood caned settee (canape), 19th century (Camilo Castelo Branco House, Famalicão) The traditional meaning of couch is a particular type of sofa with a half back and one raised end. By this definition it more closely resembles a day-bed, chaise longue, or indeed a bed. In the UK, where the generic term for the item of living room furniture is usually 'sofa' or 'settee', the term 'couch' retains this specific meaning, for example in a therapeutic setting (ie a psychiatrist's couch). A couch is therefore used lying down, while a sofa or settee is for sitting upright. The word 'couch' derives from Old French couche, meaning "sleep" or coucher with the meaning "to lie down". The most common types of couches are the "loveseat" (or British two-seater) and the settee or sofa (two or more seats). A sectional sofa (often just referred to as a "sectional") is formed from multiple sections (typically 2 to 4) and usually includes at least two pieces that join at an angle of 90 degrees or slightly greater, used to wrap around walls or other furniture. A Sectional Sofa is known as a Corner Sofa or Corner Suit in the...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=464961 ... Read more
