Over the past fifty years, the case-control method, and to a lesser extent its case-based variants, have become the most important tools for the investigator of health problems. The case control method is the study of persons with the disease and a suitable control group of persons who do not have the disease. The book helps readers address a number of general and specific questions dealing with the case-control and other case-based methods, including questions of how to design and implement a case-control study that minimizes biases, how to analyze the data to appropriately deal with confounding variables and help identify reactions, and how to interpret data and present the results from a case-control study.

David Bradshaw is not the typical romantic. He has a unique appeal, aura and gravitating pull about him that send darting eyes his way, but he’s not seeking a hookup. He wants to marry a woman he can trust, speak his love language and enjoy life with. He gets a glimpse of that in Jennifer Washington, a stunning, ambitious woman who believes her purpose in life is to start a non-profit organization to support teenage girls who come from similar beginnings that she has. However, he doesn’t quite know that love demands to heal to experience it. This time around, it's going to take more than physical attraction, an emotional connection and someone walking in the success of their calling for Jennifer to open her heart again. She wants a man who can speak to her spirit. And no matter how rough she's been sanded by the hardships of life and heartbreak, she still desires to be wanted, desired and loved. She wants what every other woman wants. A faithful man and true love that lasts a lifetime. She's a virtuous woman who will accept nothing less.

For anyone who treats postmenopausal women, this latest edition of Rogerio Lobo's classic work combines the best from two well-known references: Menopause, and the second edition of Treatment of the Postmenopausal Woman.
