Download or read book Preventing Disease Through Healthy Environments written by Annette Prüss-Üstün and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2016 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The main message emerging from this new comprehensive global assessment is that premature death and disease can be prevented through healthier environments--and to a significant degree. Analysing the latest data on the environment-disease nexus and the devastating impact of environmental hazards and risks on global health, backed up by expert opinion, this report covers more than 130 diseases and injuries. The analysis shows that 23% of global deaths (and 26% of deaths among children under five) are due to modifiable environmental factors--and therefore can be prevented. Stroke, ischaemic heart disease, diarrhoea and cancers head the list. People in low-income countries bear the greatest disease burden, with the exception of noncommunicable diseases. The report's unequivocal evidence should add impetus to coordinating global efforts to promote healthy environments--often through well-established, cost-effective interventions. This analysis will inform those who want to better understand the transformational spirit of the Sustainable Development Goals agreed by Heads of State in September 2015. The results of the analysis underscore the pressing importance of stronger intersectoral action to create healthier environments that will contribute to sustainably improving the lives of millions around the world."--Page 4 of cover.
Download or read book Management of the Difficult and Failed Airway written by and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Written by the founders of The Difficult Airway Course: Anesthesia and utilizing an instructive case-based approach, this text/DVD presents all of the leading-edge principles, tools, and procedures of airway assessment and management. The scope of the book encompasses the many airway devices that have been developed since the publication of the first edition, many of which have the potential to markedly enhance airway management. Extensively revised and updated, the second edition of Management of the Difficult and Failed Airway emphasizes how airway management is context-sensitive: included are strategies for treating patients in a range of settings, from prehospital care to the ER, as well as proven techniques for special patient populations. In addition, new chapters have been added to further refresh the book's content and provide you with a solid grasp of the most critical topics in this fast-evolving area. The book's effective organization has been maintained, beginning with the first section's focus on the basic foundations of difficult and failed airway management. The second section reviews must-know airway devices and techniques, while the third part of the text introduces case studies that thoroughly examine the application of these techniques in complex clinical situations. A final section covers the practical considerations, such as difficult airway carts and teaching and simulation in airway management."--Publisher description

Download or read book Introduction to Clinical Examination written by Michael J. Ford and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most important core skills for medical students to master are history taking and clinical examination. This extensively revised, eighth edition has been written with the philosophy that the acquisition of clinical skills is most effectively undertaken at the bedside. This pocketbook should be used as a companion, to be taken onto the wards and into consulting rooms where the information is most needed. The book begins with a system of history taking followed by a new chapter on the analysis of key symptoms. The remaining chapters cover physical examination of each of the major systems. Each stage of the examination starts with a detailed, step-by-step description of the examination method complemented by relevant illustrations, diagrams and tables on the facing page. This book is intended primarily for use at the outset of clinical training; once students have achieved proficiency in the basic skills of interviewing and examining, the book should also prove useful for revision. An invaluable starter book concentrating purely on the fundamentals of performing a patient examination. Covers each body system and outlines the principles of: - taking a history - how to conduct a physical examination - specific examination points as appropriate Concentrates only on the main symptoms of disease and then the normal and abnormal physical findings. Mention of specific diseases is confined to those most commonly encountered. Compact and pocket-sized to be carried around easily. · Now in full colour double-page format · Clear simple colour line drawings covering the essentials of a clinical examination. · Published simultaneously with the Eleventh Edition of Macleod's Clinical Examination

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bereaved Child: Analysis, Education, and Treatment. An ab stracted bibliography is a comprehensive abstracted bibliography focusing on the reactions and coping mechanisms of children and adolescents to the death of parents, siblings, friends, teachers, pets or even presidents. Publication~ dealing with both normative and pathological stages of bereavement are reviewed. Materials covering childhood concepts/attitudes toward death are included. Citations appear which explore child death education/counseling issues for parents and educators when they involve actual or antic ipated death. Articles are reviewed which deal with the importance of the adult role in the mourning process of the child. For example, decisions such as whether a child should attend a funeral or return to school are examined. Publications are included which explore the short and l'ong term developmental consequences of childhood death experience. It is important to note that the topic of the dying child was excluded. The Bereaved Child contains over 550 citations in author alphabetized and abstracted form. Only English-written books and periodicals are represented. A quick glance will reveal that the bulk of the material is post-1960. This reflects the recency of in terest and study in the area of childhood bereavement. Literature across multiple disciplines was scanned and included. Psychology, medicine, social work, and education are heavily represented, while no theological, literary, or popular sources were examined.
Download or read book Ventilation non invasive VNI domicile dans l insuffisance respiratoire chronique hypercapnique written by Marie Jouvenot and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction : Le syndrome d'obésité hypoventilation (SOH) et la bronchopneumopathie chronique obstructive (BPCO) au stade d'insuffisance respiratoire chronique (IRC) hypercapnique sont actuellement les principales indications de ventilation à domicile. L'indication de la VNI reste néanmoins débattue dans la BPCO. Par ailleurs dans les données récentes de la littérature, le monitoring des données ventilatoires, notamment le nombre de cycles ventilatoires déclenchés par le patient, semblent être des marqueurs d'efficacité et de tolérance de la ventilation. Objectifs : Evaluer le bénéfice de la VNI au long cours dans la BPCO et le SOH, et secondairement l'impact du pourcentage de cycles déclenchés sur ce bénéfice. Méthodes : Cette étude a été réalisée à partir des données issues de la cohorte VNI des Pays de la Loire. Seuls les patients dont le diagnostic de l'IRC est une BPCO ou un SOH, confirmé par une fonction respiratoire, et dont des données ventilatoires étaient disponibles ont été inclus. Résultats : Trente quatre patients ayant une BPCO et 58 patients ayant un SOH ont été inclus, majoritairement obèses et mauvais dormeurs (74%). Sous VNI, les paramètres cliniques (qualité de vie, sommeil et somnolence diurne) et gazométriques s'amélioraient significativement. L'efficacité de la VNI était similaire entre la BPCO et le SOH, en dehors d'une amélioration plus importante de la capnie dans le SOH. Les patients déclenchant moins de 50% des cycles respiratoires avaient tendance à améliorer davantage leur hématose que les patients déclenchant une majorité des cycles, sans significativité en analyse multivariée. Conclusion : Cette étude confirme l'efficacité clinique et gazométrique de la VNI dans l'IRC hypercapnique sur BPCO ou SOH, avec une efficacité quasiment similaire entre ces deux étiologies. Les BPCO obèses semblent être plus ventilés et probablement meilleurs répondeurs à la VNI. Le nombre de cycles déclenchés par le patient n'apparaît pas comme un facteur indépendant d'efficacité de la ventilation.
