They feed on the blood of birds and mammals, including humans. Ticks that carry the bacteria responsible for Lyme disease are found throughout the UK and in other parts ofEurope and North America. It's estimated there are 2,000 to 3,000 new cases of Lyme disease in England and Wales each year. About 15% of cases occur while people are abroad.Lyme diseasecan often be treated effectively if it's detected early on. But if it's not treated or treatment is delayed, there's a risk you could develop severe and long-lasting symptoms.

Gastroparesis (gastro- from Ancient Greek γαστήρ - gaster, "stomach"; and -paresis, πάρεσις - "partial paralysis"), also called delayed gastric emptying, is a medical disorder consisting of weak muscular contractions (peristalsis) of the stomach, resulting in food and liquid remaining in the stomach for a prolonged period of time. Stomach contents thus exit more slowly into the duodenum of the digestive tract.Gastroparesis uѕuаllу іѕ trеаtеd wіth nutritional ѕuрроrt, drugs fоr trеаtіng nаuѕеа and vоmіtіng, drugѕ that ѕtіmulаtе thе muѕсlе tо wоrk, аnd, lеѕѕ оftеn, еlесtrісаl расіng, and ѕurgеrу.

Fibromyalgia is a chronic, diffuse musculoskeletal pain syndrome that has no clearly identified etiology.1-4 It affects mostly adults5 and is characterized by chronic widespread pain, abnormal processing of and heightened sensitivity to pain, chronic fatigue, sleep disorders, and emotional distress or depression.5,6 Fibromyalgia reduces quality of life and productivity and is associated with functional disability, lost work time, and increased use of health care services.5,7-9 Based on diagnostic criteria developed in 1990 by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR), fibromyalgia affects more than 5 million Americans,10 most of whom are middle-aged women; men are less likely to be diagnosed with fibromyalgia even if they meet diagnostic criteria (3.4% women vs. 0.5% men).1,10,11Although fibromyalgia can occur in children, diagnosis is typically made in middle age, and prevalence increases with age until age 65, then declines in women.

"God has given you a new, revolutionary identity, as well as the skills, gifts, and talents to fulfill the purpose He put in your heart."Our culture tells us that we can determine our identity. It''s our choice, and we fulfill it using grit and determination. But a biblical identity is discovered. Like a treasure hunt, we search the Scriptures to find the diamonds of truth that shine with brilliance and tell us who we are and how God wants to use us. Our sense of identity is the lid on our personal growth. If we''re wracked by self-doubt, fear, and shame, we''ll either be hesitant or impulsive-or both! But when God opens our hearts to truly experience the wonder of His love-and be convinced of it-the lid is removed. We''ll become the people God created us to be, and we''ll be the fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, friends, mentors, and leaders He wants us to be.Join Scott in Identity as he shares his deeply personal journey of discovering his God-given identity. You''ll gain wisdom on how to seek after yours and find courage to pursue it. Trust God. Trust His timing. Trust His process. He will show up and confirm your identity.

In this book Dr. Scott Wilson challenges God's people to examine the spiritual condition of their own life and the life of the church they attend.

Melancology addresses the notorious musical genre black metal as a negative form of environmental writing that ';blackens' the cosmos. This book conjures a new word and concept that conjoins ';black' and ';ecology': melancology, a word in which can be heard the melancholy affect appropriate to the conjunction. Black metal resounds from the abyss and it is precisely only in relation to its sonic forces that the question of intervention in the environment arises in the articulation of melancology with ethics. That is, in deciding ';which way out' we should take, in deciding with what surpluses to dwell, with what waste, what detritus or decay in a process of unbinding with sonic forces that traverse an earth choking in wealth and death. The book thus provides a provocative and challenging contribution both to popular and intellectual debates on ecology.
