Yango Notes for Anatomy

Good generalized review but not as in depth as needed for Healthcare professional.

bad

not worth it! I don't really learn any thing from it, it boring after I listened to a few chapter all I remember was "This is VangoNotes for Anatomy and Physiology Chapter 1.." over and over again, it get into my head, I go to sleep with it wake up with it. it A NIGHT-MARE. Instead of learning the contents, I learned the name of the book.

they should repeat the contents and slow down a bit since it's a medical term, and again NOT repeating the name of the book, all u hear is just that in the whole book! it's Horrible.

great for on the go

really enjoyed this. So easy to use and great to have as another revision tool. great test section on each chapter.

The book did not work

I bought the book and the licence expired the next day so I could not listen to it. Emailed for help but got told nothing they can do.

Perfect for medical students

I found this audio book very helpful and easy to understand

I liked that it had a question and answer section too

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 31 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Medicine

Publisher's Summary:

While most books focus solely on the role of cholesterol in heart disease, Reverse Heart Disease Now draws on new research that points to the surprising other causes. Two leading cardiologists draw on their collective 50 years of clinical cardiology research to show you how to combine the benefits of modern medicine, over-the-counter vitamins and supplements, and simple lifestyle changes to have a healthy heart.

Members Reviews:

I "Had" high blood pressure!

I had a very high diastolic blood pressure and by the time I was done with this book the supplements they recommended had helped me achieve Bp readings like 100/70, 104/68, and 110/74. I couldn't be happier. High blood pressure and heart disease is pretty bad on both sides of my family but I'm the only one not taking any medications. I also have way more energy than I used to have after taking the recommended supplements.

A great book well delivered

Where does Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

This book was very interesting and easy to follow, a great insight on how the heart functions and the best way to keep it working well.

What about Kevin Pierces performance did you like?

It was read at a good pace throughout

Any additional comments?

Very enjoyable, I listened to it twice

Title: The Emperors New Drugs

Subtitle: Exploding the Antidepressant Myth

Author: Irving Kirsch PhD

Narrator: Richard Powers

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 18 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-01-12

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 54 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Medicine

Publisher's Summary:

Irving Kirsch has the world doubting the efficacy of antidepressants. Do they work, or are they no better than placebos? Like his colleagues, Kirsch spent years referring patients to psychiatrists to have their depression treated with drugs. Eventually, however, he decided to investigate for himself just how effective the drugs actually were.

With 15 years of research, Kirsch demonstrates that what everyone knew about antidepressants is wrong; what the medical community considered a cornerstone of psychiatric treatment is little more than a faulty consensus. ButThe Emperors New Drugsdoes more than just criticize: it offers a path society can follow to stop popping pills and start proper treatment.

About the author: Irving Kirsch, PhD, a native of New York City, is a professor of psychology at the University of Hull, United Kingdom, as well as professor emeritus at the University of Connecticut. He lives in Hull, England.

Critic Reviews:

[Kirschs] case that the drugs benefits are due to placebo and enhanced placebo effect is fascinating and demands urgent researchClearly, its time for a big rethink of what constitutes mental illness and about how to treat it. (

New Scientist)

The Emperors New Drugsabsolutely dismantles the case for antidepressants as a pharmacologically effective treatment. (

Psychology Today)

[A] spare, remarkably engrossing bookKirsch is a faithful proponent of the scientific method, and his voice therefore brings a welcome objectivity to a subject often swayed by anecdotes, emotions, orself-interest. (

New York Review of Books)

Members Reviews:

Great insights, but depression not a disease?

This book has some great insights and puts into perspective some of the very damaging practices used to 'evaluate,' drug efficacy. My one issue with both the book and author are that in spite of this insight he seems to be under the impression that depression is not actually a disease. Nor are there any suggestions for actual effective treatments for depression.

MH, big pharma and the Placebo Effect

This is a well presented review of key Mental Health treatment research. The Author spends a significant part of the book explaining in detail the Placebo Effect and its history / Evidence.

A good book with some very valid points and evidence, Now get some Excersise and CBT!

Real-life conspiracy theory

Note that you should NOT stop taking antidepressants as a result of listening to this if you take them without consulting your doctor first, partly because there can be withdrawal symptoms. This warning is included within the work itself.

The work provides pretty compelling arguments for the point of view that antidepressant medications are about as effective as placebos.

I would say that this is a useful listen if you suffer from depression or have somebody close to you who suffers from depression who you wish to help, but you should be careful how you use the information. The end goal is, of course, to get better, and drugs do help with that goal. Other therapies could provide similar or better results without side effects.

The narrator references figures that have not been included with the audio version of this book.

Title: Heart 411

Subtitle: The Only Guide to Heart Health You'll Ever Need

Author: Marc Gillinov, Steven Nissen

Narrator: Tom Weiner

Format: Unabridged

Length: 19 hrs and 51 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-30-12

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 18 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Medicine

Publisher's Summary:

The definitive guide to heart health from two of Americas most respected doctors at Cleveland Clinic, the number-one hospital for cardiac care in America.

Are you one of the 82 million Americans currently diagnosed with cardiovascular disease - or one of the millions more who think they are healthy but are at risk? Whether your goal is to get the best treatment or to stay out of the cardiologists office, your hearts health depends on accurate information and correct answers to key questions.

In Heart 411 two renowned experts, heart surgeon Marc Gillinov and cardiologist Steven Nissen, tackle the questions their patients have raised over their decades of practice: Can the stress of my job really lead to a heart attack? How does exercise help my heart, and what is the right amount and type of exercise? What are the most important tests for my heart, and when do I need them? How do symptoms and treatments differ among men, women, and children?

Backed by decades of clinical experience and up-to-the-minute research, yet written in the accessible, down-to-earth tone of your trusted family doctor, Heart 411 cuts through the confusion to give you the knowledge and tools you need to live a long and heart-healthy life.

Marc Gillinov, MD, is a staff cardiac surgeon at the Sydell and Arnold Miller Family Heart and Vascular Institute at Cleveland Clinic.

Steven Nissen, MD, is the chairman of the Robert and Suzanne Tomsich Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at Cleveland Clinic.

Critic Reviews:

As a heart disease survivor, I look for the best information I can find, and Ive found it in Heart 411. It is essential reading for patients like me, as well as those who want to keep their heart healthy. In a world filled with conflicting information, Drs. Gillinov and Nissen separate fact from fiction, providing patients and their families with easy to use tools to understand heart disease and find the best possible care. It has become my go-to book! (Larry King, CNN talk show host and founder of the Larry King Cardiac Foundation)

A useful and - dare I say - fun masterpiece. Reading Heart 411 is like having your own personal consultation with two of the most skilled and compassionate heart doctors on the planet. Gillinov and Nissen provide a delightful blend of the latest research, moving experiences with patients at the renowned Cleveland Clinic, and warmth and humor to show each of us how to live a longer, healthier, and happier life. (Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and New York Times best-selling author)

Read Heart 411 and you may never have to call 911. (Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme, Emmy- and Grammy-winning performers)

Members Reviews:

Five Stars

Very helpful and easy to read even though discussing the complex subject of the human heart.

Titled Perfectly

We read about the causes and solutions to stay heart healthy in the news all the time, but this book consolidates the latest findings. If you want to take care of your heart, read this book!

Highly Recommended

This book is clear, precise, thorough, and highly informative. It is particularly valuable in helping one to understand how to evaluate the numerous medical claims that appear in the media. The book does not seek to frighten but to give each reader the power to understand the human heart and to be a better patient.

Title: The Autism Revolution

Subtitle: Whole-Body Strategies for Making Life All It Can Be

Author: Karen Weintraub, Martha Herbert

Narrator: Denice Stradling

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 43 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-27-12

Publisher: Random House Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 58 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Medicine

Publisher's Summary:

Move beyond conventional thinking about autism....

After years of treating patients and analyzing scientific data, prominent Harvard researcher and clinician Dr. Martha Herbert offers a revolutionary new view of autism and a transformative strategy for dealing with it. Autism is not a hardwired impairment programmed into a childs genes and destined to remain fixed forever, as were often told. Instead, it is the result of a cascade of events, many seemingly minor: perhaps a genetic mutation, some toxic exposures, a stressful birth, a vitamin deficiency, and a series of infections. And while other doctors may dismiss your childs physical symptoms - the diarrhea, anxiety, sensory overload, sleeplessness, immune challenges, and seizures - as coincidental or irrelevant, Dr. Herbert sees them as vital clues to what the underlying problems are and how to help.

In The Autism Revolution, she teaches you how to approach autism as a collection of problems that can be overcome - and talents that can be developed. Each success you achieve gives your child more room to become healthy and to thrive.

Drawing from the newest research, technologies, and insights, as well as inspiring case studies of both children and adults, Dr. Herbert guides you toward restoring health and resiliency in your loved one with autism. Her specific recommendations aim to provide optimal nutrition, reduce toxic exposures, shore up the immune system, reduce stress, and open the door to learning and creativity - all by understanding and truly meeting your childs needs. As thousands of families who have cobbled together these solutions themselves already know, this program can have dramatic benefits - for your child with autism as well as for you, your whole family, and your next baby as well.

A paradigm-changing book that offers hope and healing for the millions of families who have autism in their lives, The Autism Revolution shows that theres plenty you can do every day to give someone you love the best possible gift: a life lived to the fullest potential.

Critic Reviews:

Martha Herberts book gives us a new approach to understanding how autism affects many different body systems. It is essential reading for learning more about sensible biomedical treatments. (Temple Grandin, author of Thinking in Pictures and The Way I See It)

Members Reviews:

Do Your Own Homework

Would you try another book from Karen Weintraub and Martha Herbert and/or Denice Stradling?

No. Having raised a profoundly autistic child, I heard nothing new from this book except that there was more information that had been gathered through the years about treatments I had already heard of.

Title: The Creative Destruction of Medicine

Subtitle: How the Digital Revolution Will Create Better Health Care

Author: Eric Topol

Narrator: Dick Hill

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 hrs and 43 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-19-12

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 142 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Medicine

Publisher's Summary:

Until very recently, if you were to ask most doctors, they would tell you there were only two kinds of medicine: the quack kind, and the evidence-based kind. The former is baseless, and the latter based on the best information human effort could buy, with carefully controlled double-blind trials, hundreds of patients, and clear indicators of success. Well, Eric Topol isn't most doctors, and he suggests you entertain the notion of a third kind of medicine, one that will make the evidence-based state-of-the-art stuff look scarcely better than an alchemist trying to animate a homunculus in a jar.

It turns out that plenty of new medicines - although tested with what seem like large trials - actually end up revealing most of their problems only once they get out in the real world, with millions of people with all kinds of conditions mixing them with everything in the pharmacopeia. The unexpected interactions of drugs, patients, and diseases can be devastating. And the clear indicators of success often turn out to be minimal, often as small as one fewer person dying out of a hundred (or even a thousand), and often at exorbitant cost.

How can we avoid these dangerous interactions and side-effects? How can we predict which person out of a hundred will be helped by a new drug, and which fatally harmed? And how can we avoid having to need costly drugs in the first place? It sure isn't by doing another 400-person trial.

As Topol argues in The Creative Destruction of Medicine, it's by bringing the era of big data to the clinic, laboratory, and hospital, with wearable sensors, smartphone apps, and whole-genome scans providing the raw materials for a revolution. Combining all the data those tools can provide will give us a complete and continuously updated picture of every patient, changing everything from the treatment of disease, to the prolonging of health, to the development of new treatments. As revolutionary as the past 20 years in personal technology and medicine have been - remember phones the sizes of bricks that only made calls, or when the most advanced "genotyping" we could do involved discerning blood types and Rh-factors? - Topol makes it clear that we haven't seen a thing yet. With an optimism matched only by a realism gained through 25 years in a tough job, Topol proves the ideal guide to the medicine of the future - medicine he himself is deeply involved in creating.

Members Reviews:

Very interesting, but in someways very naive.

Where does The Creative Destruction of Medicine rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

Dr. Topol presents a very lively, and optimistic view of medicine and patterns that may advance it in the near future. The optimism espoused is very heavily dependent on technological advances (which is in many ways understandable), but the author doesn't address how to rid ourselves of our terrible health care delivery system.

Title: Dr. Susan Loves Breast Book, Fifth Edition

Author: Susan M. Love MD, Karen Lindsey

Narrator: Coleen Marlo

Format: Unabridged

Length: 19 hrs and 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-01-12

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Medicine

Publisher's Summary:

Dr. Susan Loves Breast Book has long been the bible for the newly diagnosed. In this completely revised fifth edition, it also becomes a guide for those at risk of getting breast cancer, survivors interested in the consequences of their treatment, and anyone who wants to understand the new research about how the local environment influences the manifestations and treatments of many different kinds of breast cancer. Major advances being made in genetic research today mean that prevention and treatment can work not only to get rid of mutated cells (through chemotherapy or surgery) but also to change the environment around the cells (through hormone therapy, exercise, and stress reduction). Among other promising developments discussed are advances in imaging, recognition of breast density as a risk factor, and a section focused on personalized medicine to help determine what kind of cancer you have and how best to treat it.

Any woman facing a diagnosis, decisions about treatment, or concerns about prevention will find in Dr. Loves book the information, guidance, and reassurance she needs.

Critic Reviews:

The seminal work for any woman facing the disease. (

Los Angeles Times Magazine)

I was impressed by how plainly and intelligently Love, a breast surgeon, presented the research findings about mammography. (

Washington Post)

[Dr. Love is] one of the countrys leading experts on breast cancer. (

Los Angeles Times)

Members Reviews:

A must read for anyone with breast cancer!

I recommend Dr. Love's book to anyone diagnosed with breast cancer. I was first diagnosed in 2001 and again in 2015...her book clearly explains, not only the types of breast cancer, but the wide range of treatments available. Thanks to her book I recognized my toxity to one of my meds and a change of medication allowed me to return to a much better quality of life. This is also a very helpful book for family and friends who know someone with breast cancer.

Great support for anyone facing breast cancer

At the recommendation of a friend who is a breast cancer survivor, I bought this book for a newly diagnosed friend. I was hesitant not wanting to overwhelm her with too much info. I waited till it felt like the right time. After diagnoses before treatment when there's so much info to digest. She was so grateful and found the book extremely helpful.

but it's a very good place to begin

Probably more than you want to know on the subject, but certainly helpful for someone newly diagnosed with breast cancer. There were a couple of things I tried to look up in the index that weren't there though, so it may not answer all your questions, but it's a very good place to begin.

Decent resource

A pretty good all around guide book for breast cancer. I do pull it off the shelf from time to time for information. Sometimes the information lacks the clarity I am seeking. It sets the stage for things a cancer patient should consider, but doesn't really give enough information to feel like one can reach a reasonable conclusion. I did much better with the 10 Best Questions book - which is an outstanding, simple to read, resource.

Excellent resource for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention

I am a physicist (not a physician) and know little about the field of medicine.

Title: The End of Illness

Author: David B. Agus

Narrator: Holter Graham

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 35 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-17-12

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 276 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Medicine

Publisher's Summary:

Can we live robustly until our last breath? Do we have to suffer from debilitating conditions and sickness? Is it possible to add more vibrant years to our lives? In The End of Illness, David B. Agus, MD, one of the worlds leading cancer doctors, researchers, and technology innovators, tackles these fundamental questions, challenging long-held wisdoms and dismantling misperceptions about what health means. With a blend of storytelling, landmark research, and provocative ideas on health, Dr. Agus presents an eye-opening picture of the human body and all of the ways it works - and fails - showing us how a new perspective on our individual health will allow each of us to achieve that often elusive but now reachable goal of a long, vigorous life.

When Dr. Agus decided to pursue a career in oncology, many of his mentors questioned his choice. Why, they asked, would a promising young doctor want to enter a field known for its inescapably grim outcomes? But it was precisely the lack of progress that inspired Dr. Agus to join the war on cancer. He moved away from the modern methods of the medical establishment, which aim to reduce our afflictions to a single point. Instead, as he does in this book, Dr. Agus argues for the adoption of a systemic view - a way of honoring our bodies as complex, whole systems. This outlook informs how we can avoid all illnesses - not just cancer. Dr. Agus empowers us to take charge of our individual health in personal, customized ways we could not have imagined before.

This indispensable book is not only a manifesto - a call for revising the way we think about health - its also filled with practical but impossible-to-ignore suggestions, including:

Critic Reviews:

In this brilliant book, David Agus introduces a whole new way of looking at illness and health. Taking a cue from physics, he views the body as a complex system and helps us see how everything from cancer to nutrition fits into one whole picture. The result is both a useful guide on how to stay healthy and a fascinating analysis of the latest in medical science. (Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs)

Dr. David Agus has given us a remarkable peek into our health - and the impact will be profound. Ive made it my mission in life to live strong and help others do the same. The End of Illness is one more empowering piece to the puzzle of knowing how to do just that. This book will prevent illness, revolutionize treatments, and lengthen people's lives. A tour de force in its delivery and message. (Lance Armstrong, 7-time Tour de France winner and Founder and Chairman, LIVESTRONG)

"David Agus is one of Americas great doctors and medical researchers, a man dedicated to improving the health of as many people as he can. Written in a style and format that will truly engage readers, The End of Illness presents a dramatic, new way of thinking about our own health - a way that could lead to greatly improving the quality of life for millions, starting right now. (Al Gore, 45th Vice President of the United States, Nobel Laureate in Peace, 2007)

Members Reviews:

The "techie" medicine needs!

This book is filled with practical information that us lay-folk never think about.

The primary argument is that medicine is finally able to take advantage of the technological advances in used in other fields. Incidentally, Dr. Agus' company happens to be on the leading edge.
