Download or read book Essentials for Practice of Medicine in the Frontline written by Inyang Ukot and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2020-10-30 with total page 605 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essentials for practice of medicine in the frontline is an abridged synthesis of selected topics from family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, pathology, and psychiatry; also, ophthalmology, otorhinolaryngology, hematology, and dermatology. Each section covers ten salient and commonly-encountered areas of practice by physicians. Multiple-choice questions and answers accompany each Section. The setting of writing is a developing country. The contents are relevant to doctors who practice in the medically advanced countries and those in the developing countries. Medically, the world has become an interesting place. Air travel, frequent movement, and resettlement of people now mean that doctors in developed countries can no longer stay and practice within the clinical conditions that were typical in their practice settings. Things have changed, as they cannot be certain of what medical conditions that patients from various parts of the world will present to them. Doctors also cannot be unequivocal that an emergency in a distant part of the globe may not require their attention. This book therefore meets the needs of doctors, irrespective of their length of practice or where they practice. What applies to doctors certainly applies to medical students. This book is an atypical book as it puts in its two volumes of less than 500 pages of 8.5”x 11” per volume material that any doctor, anywhere, should keep on their office or consulting room bookshelf. The e-book version is also a veritable companion.
Download or read book What If It s Not Alzheimer s written by Gary Radin and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-10-15 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the public most often associates dementia with Alzheimer’s disease, the medical profession continues to advance distinctions of various types of “other” dementias. What If It’s Not Alzheimer’s? is the first and remains the only comprehensive guide dealing with frontotemporal degeneration (FTD), the most common form of dementia for people under 60 years of age. The contributors are either specialists in their fields or have exceptional hands-on experience with FTD sufferers. Beginning with a focus on the medical facts, the first part defines and explores FTD as an illness distinct from Alzheimer's disease. Also considered are clinical and medical care issues and practices, as well as such topics as finding a medical team, palliative approaches to managing care and rehabilitation interventions. The next section on managing care examines the daily care routine including exercise, socialization, adapting the home environment, and behavioral issues along with end-of-life concerns. In the following section on caregiver resources, the contributors identify professional and government assistance programs along with private and community resources and legal options. The final section focuses on the caregiver, in particular the need for respite, holistic health practices and the challenge of managing emotions. This new, completely revised edition continues to follow worldwide collaboration in research and provides the most current medical information available including understanding of the different classifications of FTD, and more clarity regarding the role of genetics. Additionally, essays written by people living with the disease provide moving, first-hand experiences. The wealth of information offered in these pages will help both healthcare professionals and caregivers of someone suffering from frontotemporal degeneration.
Download or read book Caring for the Chronically Ill written by Janna L. Dieckmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999. When human populations and their needs change, organizations responsible for their care inevitably react. With the rapidly and significantly increased demand for chronic care at mid-twentieth century, solutions deemed satisfactory in the past were entirely inadequate. Thus, community leaders and politicians began promoting several approaches to long-term care services in the two decades between 1945 and 1965, but without an adequate source of financing to establish an effective system. In contrast to acute care services and despite the need, chronic care remained unavailable and of poor quality. This study consists of six chapters: an introduction and conclusion, along with four case studies that examine in detail the development of a long-term care system in Philadelphia between 1945 and 1965.
Download or read book Assessment and Intervention with Children and Adolescents Who Misuse Fire written by David J. Kolko and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-10 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's surprisingly common for children and adolescents to play with fire and to actually set fires. A single fire has the potential to cause a cascade of serious consequences to children, families, and their community, sometimes with devastating impact. Yet, there is limited practical information and evidence-based advice available to help programs and practitioners with children and adolescents who engage in this behavior. Assessment and Intervention with Children and Adolescents Who Misuse Fire presents practical guidelines to facilitate the clinical assessment and treatment of youth firesetting. Based on nearly four decades of research and intervention experience, the treatment is directed toward reducing any inappropriate involvement in fire or related activities in order to lower the risk for property damage, personal injury, and other adverse consequences associated with these behaviors. This evidence-based intervention provides clinicians with a comprehensive program for school-aged children, early adolescents, and adolescents, and the child and his/her caregiver(s) are both important participants in treatment. The modular approach allows for therapists to be flexible in deciding which topics to cover in order to best meet the needs of children and families. This treatment model encourages more appropriate and safe behaviors in both children/adolescents and their caregivers and provides skills likely to discourage fire involvement. In addition, the materials promote controlling exposure to incendiary materials and opportunities to use fire. The intervention is provided in a single volume, encompassing a practitioner guide, parent workbook, and child/adolescent workbook, including handouts for participating clients.
Download or read book Eyes Without a Face written by Scott A. Weiss and published by Headliner Books. This book was released on 2022-07-17 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new kind of fear swept over Southern California in the summer of 1985, shattering the otherwise idyllic lifestyle of the millions who called the sprawling metropolis home. Seemingly without reason, residents began getting attacked in their homes at random by a man entering through unlocked doors and windows at night. Once inside, he enacted a level of violence on his victims only seen in horror movies. The attacks continued throughout the summer, escalating as temperatures swelled. Law-abiding citizens became prisoners in their own homes, locking themselves in despite the oppressive heat for fear of being the next victim. This is the terrifying ordeal of the “Night Stalker” told in chronological order as it happened in real time. Compiled together for the first time from articles and images first published by the Herald Examiner, “Eyes Without a Face” offers readers a chance to relive the nightmare that forever changed a city, and experience the remarkable act of civic heroism that resulted in the final capture of the killer.
