Excerpt: ... in some cases, bronchophonic and pectoriloquous in others. In these cases the heart must be carefully examined for signs of pressure on the right side, pulsation in the lower sternal region, the apex beat being obscured. bronchiectasis, or dilatation of the bronchi, occurs as a result of chronic bronchitis and asthma, where the tubal structure has suffered from atrophy of the mucous coat and thickening of the fibrous layers. It is produced by inhalation of irritating particles of dust, fluff, wool, iron, clay, and stone; and it gives rise to forms of disease named according to the special trade by which it is induced--as knife-grinder's rot, filer's phthisis, &c. Symptoms.--Much dyspnoea and expectoration, the sputa being plentiful, opaque and purulent; cyanosis is usually present, the right ventricle of the heart being eccentrically enlarged. Pathology.--The bronchial tubes are found much thickened, irregularly pouched and dilated; alveolar walls thick, white and emphysematous. Sometimes the upper lobe is in a condition of alveolar thickening, the air-sacs irregularly dilated; while in the lower parts may be found old congestive patches of pigmented thick fibroid tissue, indicative of partial lobular congestions and haemorrhage. Occasionally dilatation of the tubes is observed in compressed portions of the lungs, in empyema or pleuritic effusions. It happens especially in those chronic cases where the fluid has been evacuated by natural or artificial means. A compressed lung is very loth to expand, and if the external pressure be removed the tubes will yield to the internal force of the atmosphere, and it is common to find this pouching near an empyema. Signs.--Inspection observes depression of the intercostal spaces with fixity, and...

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

This book was released on 2015-12-29 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Getting the right diagnosis is a key aspect of health care - it provides an explanation of a patient's health problem and informs subsequent health care decisions. The diagnostic process is a complex, collaborative activity that involves clinical reasoning and information gathering to determine a patient's health problem. According to Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, diagnostic errors-inaccurate or delayed diagnoses-persist throughout all settings of care and continue to harm an unacceptable number of patients. It is likely that most people will experience at least one diagnostic error in their lifetime, sometimes with devastating consequences. Diagnostic errors may cause harm to patients by preventing or delaying appropriate treatment, providing unnecessary or harmful treatment, or resulting in psychological or financial repercussions. The committee concluded that improving the diagnostic process is not only possible, but also represents a moral, professional, and public health imperative. Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, a continuation of the landmark Institute of Medicine reports To Err Is Human (2000) and Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001), finds that diagnosis-and, in particular, the occurrence of diagnostic errorsâ€"has been largely unappreciated in efforts to improve the quality and safety of health care. Without a dedicated focus on improving diagnosis, diagnostic errors will likely worsen as the delivery of health care and the diagnostic process continue to increase in complexity. Just as the diagnostic process is a collaborative activity, improving diagnosis will require collaboration and a widespread commitment to change among health care professionals, health care organizations, patients and their families, researchers, and policy makers. The recommendations of Improving Diagnosis in Health Care contribute to the growing momentum for change in this crucial area of health care quality and safety.
