Acoustic neuroma, or vestibular schwannoma, is a benign tumor originating from the vestibulocochlear nerve located deep within the skull. Despite its benign nature, an acoustic neuroma can cause significant disruption to an affected patient's life including slowly worsening degrees of imbalance, hearing loss, and tinnitus. Thanks to significant advancements in medicine, acoustic neuroma patients are now afforded a variety of treatment options that include everything from monitoring the growth of the tumor to surgical removal.A Patient's Guide to Acoustic Neuroma is designed to serve as a comprehensive, practical reference guide for individuals affected by acoustic neuroma. In this book you will find a detailed overview of the inner-ear structures affected by acoustic neuroma as well as a summary of the latest research into the suspected causes and relevant symptoms of acoustic neuroma. In addition, the tools used in diagnosis of acoustic neuroma are outlined, along with details about the various treatment options available for patients and the resulting influence on a patient's quality of life. This book is designed to educate and empower those who are affected by acoustic neuroma. To do this, over 150 citations highlight the most recent research in the field while also recognizing the broad extent of research into acoustic neuroma that has been acquired over the past century.

An array of words can be used to describe vestibular migraine: Annoying. Debilitating. Overwhelming. Much of the frustration surrounding vestibular migraine is due in part to the fact that as a relatively new disease in the world of vestibular disorders, we just don't know much about it. As a patient - or someone who interacts with a patient of vestibular migraine - the incapacitating attacks and randomness of the symptoms can complicate the already-stressful aspect of dealing with the condition itself. This book is designed to serve as a resource guide to empower and inform patients for the long and at times arduous journey with vestibular migraine. Topics include an introduction to migraine and vestibular anatomy, outlining what vestibular migraine is, diagnosis and treatment of vestibular migraine, and quality of life aspects. Over 170 references highlight some of the most recent research available, in turn providing ample opportunity for patients to read further in order to gain additional insight into this disease.Written by an individual who has himself dealt with multiple vestibular disorders, Vestibular Migraine: A Comprehensive Patient Guide is designed to provide the vestibular migraine patient a solid foundation of facts and information that they can use to improve their understanding of this disease. Through improving their knowledge of this disease, patients can have productive and focused discussions with their medical provider in order to outline a directed plan of treatment to hopefully reduce the effects of vestibular migraine.

We all experience some degree of misfortune in our life, and it can often occur without reason or explanation. When there's no real justification as to why we experience adversity, our situation is often explained as being a result of the hand you were dealt. While some might feel a sense of relief in response to the idea that a greater force is actually in control of their circumstances, others refuse to accept this notion and instead choose to confront their situation head-on. Those individuals have chosen to challenge the hand they were dealt. Mark Knoblauch has long been a challenger. From humble beginnings and through a debilitating disease, he has experienced his share of adversity. With each adverse encounter he faces, he has developed a mindset that allows him to see an obstacle rather than a roadblock. Mark wrote Challenge the Hand You Were Dealt based on his philosophy for moving on after experiencing hard times. In this book, Mark outlines how to identify your value and your passions, as well as a variety of techniques for giving yourself the best chance to be successful. Challenge the Hand You Were Dealt was developed with the intent of empowering and motivating you to move past your hardships as well as to find ways to recognize your own potential for success.

Let's face it - running sucks. Those pictures of runners that we see in advertisements showing a smiling, energetic runner in no way represent the agonizing, sweat-covered dread that so many of us put ourselves through in order to stay healthy. Given the vast amount of benefits associated with running, why can't it be more enjoyable? What if I told you that running does not have to induce misery and can in fact be quite pleasant no matter your fitness level? Sure, there will still be a bit of effort required and you'll probably work up a good amount of sweat no matter how favorable your runs turn out. But, by accounting for several key factors involved with your run such as weather and equipment, you can minimize the opportunity for these same factors to have a negative impact on your run. This can in turn improve your running experience as well as your motivation to keep running. Seven Ways outlines how to account for a variety of factors that can directly influence the quality of your runs. Based on his own experience as well as the information gained from dozens of conversations with both new and experienced runners, Mark Knoblauch guides you through preparing and adapting to these factors as well as how to use them to your advantage. By reducing the opportunity for negative influences to impact your running, it should be expected that your runs will become more enjoyable and more motivating, which in turn can have a significant impact on both your performance as well as your overall health.

Publication of a research article can be a defining moment in a researcher's career. However, the steps involved in turning an initial research question into a published article can be a long and arduous journey. To aid in this process, Professional Writing in Kinesiology and Sports Medicine was developed to serve as a comprehensive writing guide for research professionals and students who are looking to improve their academic writing skills. Dr. Mark Knoblauch and his 15 contributors developed Professional Writing in Kinesiology and Sports Medicine to focus around the area of manuscript development and presentation, while also including chapters that outline the foundational concepts of professional writing, developing a research grant, and the journal selection process. Each chapter is written by content experts who bring a wealth of experience not only from their own academic writing but also from having spent countless hours helping students become better, more effective writers. Many textbooks have been written that focus on development of the research manuscript itself, but what sets Professional Writing in Kinesiology and Sports Medicine apart is that it includes so much more to aid writers in their process. What you can find inside: Examination of ancillary aspects associated with academic research such as poster and oral presentations How to choose the most effective journal How to deal with the stress of writing How to write an effective grantProfessional Writing in Kinesiology and Sports Medicine covers those topics and more, with the intent of providing a thorough, practical writing guide that spans the breadth of the research manuscript development, writing, and presentation process.
