Total Knee Replacement and Rehabilitation
Knee arthritis can be a source of daily and disabling pain. While several treatment options exist for arthritis patients, ultimately, end-stage treatment is total knee replacement. Approximately 250,000 TKAs are currently performed each year in the US, and about a million people a year contemplate having this elective surgical procedure. These figures are rising due to the aging of the baby boomer population and the growing demand to maintain an active lifestyle, even into old age. Total knee replacement requires a great deal of time and attention to detail to enable the patient to achieve the maximum benefits of this surgical correction of their knee dysfunction. However, in our current health system of managed care, professionals have less and less time to spend with each individual. Fortunately TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY covers every detail that a patient needs to know. The book is the first step-by-step guide to help patients navigate through the entire knee replacement experience. The authors, a joint replacement surgeon and a physical therapist who specializes in knee replacement patients, have written this book from the point of view of both patient and professional. Dr. Falkel had both of his knees replaced simultaneously in 2000; even though he had treated patients with this surgery for 25 years, he was amazed to find that he was not prepared for the twelve months following surgery. His role as a patient with bilateral TKA has changed his professional approach to the treatment of his patients. The book is a comprehensive guide for the patient, explaining everything from the preoperative decision-making process, the surgery itself, how to prepare your home for post-surgery rehabilitation, and a week by week description of how to rehabilitate yourself following your TKA. The road to recovery is laid out clearly in this book in such detail that there are no surprises. The book concentrates extensively on postoperative rehabilitation, which is vital to the success of a total knee replacement, and as important as the surgery itself. It empowers the patient with knowledge to encourage them to take charge of their own rehabilitation program. The good news is that a TKA is life changing -- for the better. The book contains 145 exercises, 190 illustrations and photos, and questions and answers at the end of each chapter. Contents include:. Part I: Knee Arthritis and Treatment. 1. Knee Arthritis -- Why Do My Knees Hurt This Much?. 2. Treatment Options -- What Can I Do to Get Rid of This Pain?. 3. Getting Ready -- Preparing Your Home and Yourself for Surgery. 4. The Total Knee Operation. 5. Post-Operative Day One Through Five -- Am I Ready for This?. Part II: TKA Rehabilitation. 6. Week One -- You Want Me to Do What??. 7. Week Two -- Will I Ever Be Normal Again?. 8. Week Three -- This Isn't as Bad as I Thought. 9. Pool Therapy -- The TKA's Best Friend. 10. Week Four -- I Made It to My Olympics. 11. One to Three Months -- Keep On Keeping

Treason
A high-level Russian spy secretly working for the CIA is betrayed and arrested in Moscow. In Washington, counterintelligence agents search for a traitor in the upper reaches of the CIA. In the middle of it all is an American reporter whose chance encounter leads to the discovery of a double agent in the very heart of the American intelligence community. Treason is award-winning reporter Bill Powell's dramatic account of how he became involved in one of the highest-profile U.S. mole hunts of recent decades. Vyacheslav Baranov had just been released from a prison camp in Siberia when he walked into Newsweek bureau chief Bill Powell's office in Moscow in the summer of 1998. A former colonel in the GRU, the Soviet Union's once-feared military intelligence agency, Baranov had also been one of the highest-ranking spies on the CIA's payroll when he was arrested six years earlier. Baranov was convinced he had been betrayed, and the question that obsessed him -- and that would thrust Powell into the spying game -- was, by whom? Treason begins on the day Baranov walked into Powell's office, unannounced, saying he had a story Powell would find interesting. Powell was skeptical of Baranov's tale of spying for the CIA and being mishandled by the agency, but he was intrigued and agreed to see Baranov again. Over the course of several weeks, then months, as it became clear to him that Baranov was credible, Powell realized that he might have an extraordinary news story. Little did he know that his meetings with Baranov would put him in the middle of a top-secret mole hunt. The CIA had assumed that Baranov was one of more than a dozen Soviet double agents who had been betrayed by Aldrich Ames, a former counterintelligence officer in the agency's directorate of operations, who himself had been arrested by the FBI for spying for Moscow. Baranov had another theory about who had betrayed him, and through Powell -- his only means of communicating with the U.S. government -- he managed to pass crucial information to the FBI that convinced its mole hunters that he was right. A story of intrigue and furtive meetings with secret agents in Moscow, New York, Crete, Moldova, and Bangladesh, Treason recounts how Baranov was first recruited to spy for the GRU, and then by the CIA to spy for the United States. It describes the murky and dangerous world of spies and counterspies -- a world in which it is never clear whom you can trust -- as well as the lonely life of a double agent. It is also an eye-opening account of how the United States handles -- and sometimes mishandles -- its double agents. And it is a vivid firsthand account of what can happen when the worlds of journalism and espionage collide.
