Book excerpt: Linear growth is a biological process of fundamental importance to the physical and psychological make-up of a child and adolescent but which can be subject to a number of interruptions and disorders. The management and treatment of patients with growth disorders constitues a major, and important, part of practice in clinical paediatrics, while in public health terms growth assessment remains one of the most useful indices of health and economic well being in both developed and the developing world. This book approaches growth and its disorders from both a physiological and pathophysiological standpoint. The book outlines in detail the fundamental biological mechanisms of normal and abnormal linear growth, how to assess growth accurately fundamental to the early detection of abnormality and, importantly, how to manage disorders leading to short and tall stature, and disorders of the timing of puberty. Throughout, emphasis is given on achieving a satisfactory outcome for the child and parent by keeping them fully informed as to what is possible from a particular treatment strategy. The result is a wide-ranging and balanced account of this challenging field drawing on the expertise of a team of international specialists from a variety of backgrounds.

This book was released on 2024-02-02 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the success of the previous collection Pharmacological and Non-Pharmacological Therapy for Obesity and Diabetes, we are pleased to announce the launch of Volume II. Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may induce inflammation and impair health, leading to metabolic syndrome and diabetes. Their prevalence is increasing and is considered a major public health concern in the 21st century. While numerous mechanisms have been proposed for this epidemic of obesity, it is well agreed upon that lack of physical activity and high calorie intake plays causal roles. Understanding the causes that lead to obesity and also its prevention or reversion are of public health priority. This could be managed by either modification of lifestyle (through physical activity to restore energy balance or reduction of calorie intake, proper diet that is rich in fiber, increasing energy outlay) or using adequate medication.

Download or read book The Age of Mass Child Removal in Spain written by Peter Anderson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-23 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Age of Mass Child Removal in Spain analyses the ideas and practices that underpinned the age of mass child removal. This era emerged from growing criticisms across the world of 'dangerous' parents and the developing belief in the nineteenth century that the state could provide superior guardianship to 'unfit' parents. In the late nineteenth century, the juvenile-court movement led the way in forging a new and more efficient system of child removal that severely curtailed the previously highly protected sovereignty of guardians deemed dangerous. This transnational movement rapidly established courts across the world and used them to train the personnel and create the systems that frequently lay behind mass child removal. Spaniards formed a significant part of this transnational movement and the country's juvenile courts became involved in the three main areas of removal that characterize the age: the taking of children from poor families, from families displaced by war, and from political opponents. The study of Spanish case files reveals much about how the removal process worked in practice across time and across democratic regimes and dictatorships. These cases also afford an insight into the rich array of child-removal practices that lay between the poles of coercion and victimhood. Accordingly, the study offers a history of some of most marginalized parents and children and recaptures their voice, agency, and experience. Peter Anderson also analyses the removal of tens of thousands of children from General Franco's political opponents, sometimes referred to as the lost children of Francoism, through the history and practice of the juvenile courts.

Download or read book ALTERED STATES English Edition written by Paddy Chayefsky and published by BookRix. This book was released on 2022-01-19 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward Jessup, a young psycho-physiologist, experiments with different states of consciousness, obsessed with an addiction to truth and knowledge. He injects himself with psychedelic drugs, lies locked in an isolation tank and experiences all the stages of pre-human consciousness until finally terrible changes take place with him: Jessup also physically transforms into a pre-human being. His thirst for knowledge drives him into ever new, increasingly irreversible transformations. Only the horror when his body begins to dissolve into pure energy brings him back to human bonds... Paddy Chayefsky (January 29, 1923 – August 1, 1981), one of the most important US dramatists, wrote a breath-taking, equally philosophical shocker with his debut novel. In 1980, British director Ken Russell adapted the novel based on Paddy Chayefsky's screenplay - starring: William Hurt, Blair Brown and Drew Barrymore.
