Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canada Lancet, Vol. 24: A Monthly Journal of Medical and Surgical Science, Criticism and News In introducing this subject to you I need offer no apology. In infants and young children dis eases of the digestive tract are much more frequent than of any other part of the body. Especially during the hot season is this the case, when the child's food is so apt to sour either before or after ingestion, owing to the presence of micro-organisms. Again, an infant is too often given improper food, which it is unable to digest. These facts make the subject a very important one, for from infants men and women grow, and if we have not healthy thriving infants how can we expect to have healthy, vigorous, intellectual men? The future of a child depends to a great extent on its physical development during the first few years of life The subject is of special interest at the present time also, owing to the constant advance of the purely scientific aspect of medicine and the better methods of utilizing these facts. It is not my in tention to discuss now the amount of food which it is right to give a child at different ages, nor to refer to the proper intervals of feeding. Both of them are very important questions, but which the limits of this paper will not allow me to deal with. Assuming then that we have all necessary know ledge on these points, let us endeavor to enquire into the merits of the different articles of food which are given to infants and young children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canada Lancet, 1884, Vol. 16: A Monthly Journal of Medical and Surgical Science, Criticism and News In regard to the qualities and action of tents, the sponge tent expands quickly but dilates slowly. This being the case, it is not liable to slip from the uterus before extraction. It is porous, and permits escape to the menstrual and other discharges, and on this account may be used dur ing the menstrual period in the treatment of ste rility. It has a disintegrating power over mor bid surfaces, and is an efficient means of treat ment in many cases of intra-uterine disease. The sea-tangle tent has the advantage over the sponge in that it allows no animal matter to decompose, producing fetor and irritation; it has greater di lating power than the sponge tent, and causes more pain than the latter; it is liable to slip from the uterus after it is fully expanded. It does not pos sess the action of sponge over morbid surfaces. A laminaria tent the size of a no. 8 bougie will su iciently expand the canal to admit the finger. Tupelo tents are generally of uniform size from end to end; they are smooth and easily introduced; they have good dilating power, and' cause little pain they do not imbibe much of the discharges, nor sink into the uterine tissues. If large enough to be of any benefit, they will not allow discharges to pass through or beside them, and therefore not useful during menstruation.

Download or read book The Discovery of Insulin written by Michael Bliss and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2017-06-22 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discovery of insulin at the University of Toronto in 1921-22 was one of the most dramatic events in the history of the treatment of disease. Insulin was a wonder-drug with ability to bring patients back from the very brink of death, and it was no surprise that in 1923 the Nobel Prize for Medicine was awarded to its discoverers, the Canadian research team of Banting, Best, Collip, and Macleod. In this engaging and award-winning account, historian Michael Bliss recounts the fascinating story behind the discovery of insulin – a story as much filled with fiery confrontation and intense competition as medical dedication and scientific genius. Originally published in 1982 and updated in 1996, The Discovery of Insulin has won the City of Toronto Book Award, the Jason Hannah Medal of the Royal Society of Canada, and the William H. Welch Medal of the American Association for the History of Medicine.

Download or read book Fighting for a Hand to Hold written by Samir Shaheen-Hussain and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2020-09-23 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Launched by healthcare providers in January 2018, the #aHand2Hold campaign confronted the Quebec government's practice of separating children from their families during medical evacuation airlifts, which disproportionately affected remote and northern Indigenous communities. Pediatric emergency physician Samir Shaheen-Hussain's captivating narrative of this successful campaign, which garnered unprecedented public attention and media coverage, seeks to answer lingering questions about why such a cruel practice remained in place for so long. In doing so it serves as an indispensable case study of contemporary medical colonialism in Quebec. Fighting for a Hand to Hold exposes the medical establishment's role in the displacement, colonization, and genocide of Indigenous peoples in Canada. Through meticulously gathered government documentation, historical scholarship, media reports, public inquiries, and personal testimonies, Shaheen-Hussain connects the draconian medevac practice with often-disregarded crimes and medical violence inflicted specifically on Indigenous children. This devastating history and ongoing medical colonialism prevent Indigenous communities from attaining internationally recognized measures of health and social well-being because of the pervasive, systemic anti-Indigenous racism that persists in the Canadian public health care system - and in settler society at large. Shaheen-Hussain's unique perspective combines his experience as a frontline pediatrician with his long-standing involvement in anti-authoritarian social justice movements. Sparked by the indifference and callousness of those in power, this book draws on the innovative work of Indigenous scholars and activists to conclude that a broader decolonization struggle calling for reparations, land reclamation, and self-determination for Indigenous peoples is critical to achieve reconciliation in Canada.
Download or read book No Place to Run written by Tim Cook and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians of the First World War have often dismissed the important role of poison gas in the battles of the Western Front. Tim Cook shows that the serious threat of gas did not disappear with the introduction of gas masks. By 1918, gas shells were used by all armies to deluge the battlefield, and those not instructed with a sound anti-gas doctrine left themselves exposed to this new chemical plague.This book provides a challenging re-examination of the function of gas warfare in the First World War, including its important role in delivering victory in the campaign of 1918 and its curious postwar legacy.
Download or read book Disease Control Priorities Third Edition Volume 2 written by Robert Black and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2016-04-11 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evaluation of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) by the Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (DCP3) focuses on maternal conditions, childhood illness, and malnutrition. Specifically, the chapters address acute illness and undernutrition in children, principally under age 5. It also covers maternal mortality, morbidity, stillbirth, and influences to pregnancy and pre-pregnancy. Volume 3 focuses on developments since the publication of DCP2 and will also include the transition to older childhood, in particular, the overlap and commonality with the child development volume. The DCP3 evaluation of these conditions produced three key findings: 1. There is significant difficulty in measuring the burden of key conditions such as unintended pregnancy, unsafe abortion, nonsexually transmitted infections, infertility, and violence against women. 2. Investments in the continuum of care can have significant returns for improved and equitable access, health, poverty, and health systems. 3. There is a large difference in how RMNCH conditions affect different income groups; investments in RMNCH can lessen the disparity in terms of both health and financial risk.

Download or read book Pain Management and the Opioid Epidemic written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-09-28 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug overdose, driven largely by overdose related to the use of opioids, is now the leading cause of unintentional injury death in the United States. The ongoing opioid crisis lies at the intersection of two public health challenges: reducing the burden of suffering from pain and containing the rising toll of the harms that can arise from the use of opioid medications. Chronic pain and opioid use disorder both represent complex human conditions affecting millions of Americans and causing untold disability and loss of function. In the context of the growing opioid problem, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched an Opioids Action Plan in early 2016. As part of this plan, the FDA asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene a committee to update the state of the science on pain research, care, and education and to identify actions the FDA and others can take to respond to the opioid epidemic, with a particular focus on informing FDA's development of a formal method for incorporating individual and societal considerations into its risk-benefit framework for opioid approval and monitoring.
