This book was released on 1999 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many servicemembers who served in the Persian Gulf War have subsequently experienced health problems such as fatigue, muscle and joint pain, gastrointestinal complaints, headaches, memory loss, and sleep disturbances. Whether these health problems are related to these servicemembers' exposures to chemical, biological, or environmental agents during their Gulf War service has been a topic of much controversy. To ensure that all issues related to Gulf War illnesses were comprehensively addressed, the Department of Defense (DOD) established the Office of the Special Assistant for Gulf War Illnesses (OsAGwI) in November 1996. To determine whether DOD is diligently addressing issues related to Gulf War illnesses, the Ranking Minority Member of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs asked GAO to examine selected OSAGWI operations. Specifically, GAO'S objectives were to (1) describe DOD's progress in establishing an organization to address Gulf War illnesses issues and (2) evaluate the thoroughness of OSAGWI'S investigations into and reporting on incidents of veterans' potential exposure to chemical or biological warfare agents during the Gulf War.

This book was released on 2019-10-25 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. military has been continuously engaged in foreign conflicts for over two decades. The strains that these deployments, the associated increases in operational tempo, and the general challenges of military life affect not only service members but also the people who depend on them and who support them as they support the nation â€" their families. Family members provide support to service members while they serve or when they have difficulties; family problems can interfere with the ability of service members to deploy or remain in theater; and family members are central influences on whether members continue to serve. In addition, rising family diversity and complexity will likely increase the difficulty of creating military policies, programs and practices that adequately support families in the performance of military duties. Strengthening the Military Family Readiness System for a Changing American Society examines the challenges and opportunities facing military families and what is known about effective strategies for supporting and protecting military children and families, as well as lessons to be learned from these experiences. This report offers recommendations regarding what is needed to strengthen the support system for military families.

The text also looks at PTSD comorbidities, such as depression and traumatic brain injury (TBI) and other conditions masquerading as PTSD. Finally, the authors touch on other subjects concerning returning veterans, including pain, disability, facing the end of a career, sleep problems , suicidal thoughts, violence, , and mefloquine “toxidrome”. Each case study includes a case presentation, diagnosis and assessment, treatment and management, outcome and case resolution, and clinical pearls and pitfalls.
