This book was released on 2019-10-31 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro fue concebido como un recurso accesible y útil para los pediatras e incluso para médicos generales y otros trabajadores de la salud, con el objetivo de proporcionar lineamientos claros de diagnóstico y estrategias de tratamiento. Muchos endocrinólogos experimentados en todo el mundo han contribuido a este libro, muchos de los cuales han viajado y han enseñado ampliamente en países en vías de desarrollo. El libro resultante no tiene la intención de ocupar el lugar de los textos estándar; su objetivo es proporcionar información breve y actualizada sobre las afecciones endocrinas, con énfasis en las posibilidades de diagnóstico y las pruebas analíticas y de imagen más útiles y de bajo costo, así como en el tratamiento más apropiado de acuerdo con la posibilidad que se tiene de utilizar recursos terapéuticos cuando, independientemente de que estén indicados, resulten accesibles. También se proporciona una guía sobre cómo acceder a tecnologías más sofisticadas cuando sea necesario. "La influencia de este libro de texto va mucho más allá del diagnóstico y el tratamiento de las enfermedades endocrinas pediátricas en los países en vías de desarrollo. Apoyará las iniciativas existentes que apuntan a la creación de la capacitación en Endocrinología Pediátrica en entornos donde estas condiciones no se reconocen en gran medida. Servirá como un recurso para la capacitación de enfermeras, dietistas, funcionarios de salud y otros profesionales de la salud que trabajan como aliados de los endocrinólogos pediátricos recién capacitados. Les proporcionará una herramienta para abogar por los niños y adolescentes con enfermedades endocrinas y los ayudará a sensibilizar a los legisladores y a las autoridades locales de salud pública sobre la importancia de proporcionar a los pacientes fármacos simples y relativamente asequibles que figuran en la Lista de medicamentos esenciales para niños de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) (tales como insulina, hidrocortisona, fludrocortisona, diazóxido y levotiroxina) pero que, a menudo, no están disponibles a nivel local."

Download or read book Living the Opposite Sex written by Christoph Imhof and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2022-11-30 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studying the life situations of trans persons reveals preceding and ongoing political, societal and cultural transformations. This ethnographic study concerns individuals in Andalusia, Southern Spain, who do not fit the sex and gender assigned to them at birth. Christoph Imhof thus investigates issues leading back to the repressive situation during the dictatorship of Franco and to contemporary endeavours and achievements regarding acceptance, citizenship and self-determination. He highlights the pioneering role that Andalusia has played within Spain regarding trans issues since the late 1990s and shows how trans persons in Southern Spain have experienced the growing social, medical and legal acceptance of their gender non-conformity.
