This book is meant to be useful to anyone who is interested in having and working with a large guardian dog. In these pages I hope I have answered many of the questions that surround large guardian dogs and what these great animals are possible of. It is my hope that the reader studies this book before purchasing their first large guardian pup. Training and maintaining a large guardian dog can be very time consuming early in the training stages, but the reward is well worth the peace of mind one will experience for the years that follow. One of the best lessons I have learned is that our large guardian dogs are forgiving of my shortcomings as a herd and dog owner. Often they know and understand more about what is going on than I do. These dogs are endlessly loyal and can be incredibly beneficial and meaningful to you, your family and your farm.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus has a lower incidence than other gastrointestinal tract cancer; however, there are many difficult issued related to the choice of appropriate therapy for these patients. In recent years, the use of multimodal treatment has greatly improved the prognosis of patients affected by this disease but several aspects of the oncological and surgical management are still controversial. This book aims to give a homogeneous approach to esophageal cancer treatment, based on the author’s lifetime experience in conjunction with exhaustive review of recent literature. In each chapter surgeons and oncologists will find appropriate tools for correct management of the diagnosis and therapy of this difficult disease. The book analyzes all the aspects of staging and treatment, such as modern diagnostic and staging techniques (MRI or PET-CT), endoscopic treatment of early cancer, new minimally invasive and open surgical techniques, and combined treatment. In addition, there are chapters dedicated to the postoperative course of these patients, as well as their quality of life, with indications for the correct follow-up and treatment of relapses.

During their seven-year journey through Alzheimer's disease, author Dorothy Horne and her husband Byron learned to open their hearts and trust God. After realizing it wasn't what happened to them but through them that was most important, they found they could walk through the fire with His provision and strength. The grace they experienced in the midst of their trials became a gift to share with others, for God's glory. ___________________ "Glimpses of Grace, Vol. 2: And Grace Will Lead Us Home, is a hope-filled glimpse into the journey of a loving wife following a diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer's for her husband and the couple's coming together to fit in God's perfect plan. Dorothy Horne gives us an inside look into the vulnerable world of a caregiver and offers practical advice on how to accept help from others, care for your spouse and care for yourself. It is a beautiful story of courage and reliance upon God to bring 'beauty out of ashes.' A must-read for any spouse or family member dealing with Alzheimer's and other dementias." -KRISTEN ISHIHARA, elder law attorney "If grace could be made tangible, its beauty could be seen, touched, and heard in this wise and tender book. Dorothy's soulful reflections are filled with love, light, and hope that will be uplifting to those families living with Alzheimer's and other related forms of dementia." -NELDA STRONG, Alzheimer's caregiver and advocate "What a powerful story-truly a love story! Alzheimer's, dementia, slow-motion excruciating loss. Dorothy doesn't sugar-coat it. Yet if you want to witness joy in the midst of the storm, first-hand the power of unpreachy faith, the difference a faith community can make and practical advice for how to help-this is poignant storytelling for you. While Glimpses of Grace, Vol. 2: And Grace Will Lead Us Home shares her long and painful journey of losing her beloved Byron, it is also an up-close look under the microscope at the joy, pain, and hope of relationships-family, friends, faith, and community. In the midst of gut-wrenching loss of a relationship-relationships are also a key source of coping and healing. Dorothy's intimate but crisp sharing will not only move you deeply to tears of sorrow and of joy-it will remind you of just how dear are your own relationships." -ROBERT HALL, author, This Land of Strangers: The Relationship Crisis That Imperils Home, Work, Politics and Faith
