Surgical Implants and Other Foreign Bodies (IARC Monographs on the Evaluation of the Carcinogenic Risks to Humans) pdf
Description

Evaluates the carcinogenic risks to humans of surgical implants and other foreign bodies. Foreign bodies are defined as any exogenous object that has been introduced into the tissues or cavities of the body and is not rapidly absorbed. The evaluation focuses on exposures caused by the presence in the body of a solid metallic or non-metallic object as a result either of surgery or of involuntary penetration, as through a war wound. Medical and dental devises are grouped together as metallic, non-metallic, and mixed materials, which have different profiles of biological activity.

The volume opens with a review of key concepts in the understanding of host-material interactions. Subsequent chapters evaluate human exposure data, evidence from case reports, and analytical studies for carcinogenicity in humans and in companion animals, evidence of carcinogenicity of implanted materials from animal experiments, and further background material on mechanisms of degradation and car Download Surgical Implants and Other Foreign Bodies (IARC Monographs on the Evaluation of the Carcinogenic Risks to Humans) for free via rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared, dropBox, uploading, fileserve

Safety of Silicone Breast Implants pdf
Description

The Dow Corning case raised serious questions about the safety of silicone breast implants and about larger issues of medical device testing and patient education. "Safety of Silicone Breast Implants" presents a well-documented, thoughtful exploration of the safety of these devices, drawing conclusions from the available research base and suggesting further questions to be answered. This book also examines the sensitive issues surrounding women's decisions about implants. In reaching conclusions, the committee reviews: the history of the silicone breast implant and the development of its chemistry; the wide variety of U.S.-made implants and their regulation by the Food and Drug Administration; frequency and consequences of local complications from implants; the evidence for and against links between implants and autoimmune disorders, connective tissue disease, neurological problems, silicone in breast milk, or a proposed new syndrome; and evidence that implants may be associated with l Download Safety of Silicone Breast Implants for free via rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared, dropBox, uploading, fileserve

The Naked Truth About Breast Implants pdf
Description

Susan Kolb a medical doctor who is uniquely qualified to tell this story because she has a specialty in plastic and reconstructive surgery, as well as extensive training in holistic medicine. Furthermore, both silicone and saline breast implants have been in her body, and she confronted the health challenges such prosthetic devices can produce. While her story is very personal, it also reflects the experience of hundreds of thousands of other women.

The story she tells involves multinational corporations, public health concerns and governmental organizations that have betrayed the very people they are charged with protecting. Suppressed research, legal battles, government hearings, political corruption and corporate greed are part of this saga. Yet it is also about healing, for it contains the promise that those involved will learn greater responsibility. As Dr. Kolb says, "Sometimes we all have to learn the hard way."
