BIOSTATISTIK & EPIDEMIOLOGIBag sundhedsvidenskabelige undersøgelser er indsamlet en lang række data. Det er en videnskabelig disciplin at gøre data overskuelige, håndtér- og analysérbare på korrekt vis, så sammenhænge mellem f.eks. adfærd og sundhed er til at forstå i et udsagn som: ”Mandlige rygere har 50 % større risiko for blodpropper”. Hvordan når man frem til det resultat? Og holder det?BIOSTATISTIK & EPIDEMIOLOGI yder læseren en forståelse af statistikken og epidemiologiens grundbegreber samt mulighed for at mestre basale værktøjer til beskrivelse af egne observationer. Første del af bogen er tilegnet statistiske begreber og analyser, f.eks. kategorisering af data og typer af tests, mens anden del af bogen beskæftiger sig med principperne bag forskning og studiedesigns. Undervejs kan læseren afprøve egne beregninger, teste sin viden, og bogens overskuelige struktur og grundige indeksikalisering gør den velegnet som opslagsværk og til støtte, når begreber fra videnskabelige artikler skal læses og forstås.Bogen henvender sig primært til medicinstuderende ved landets fire fakulteter i København, Odense, Aarhus og Aalborg, men andre faggrupper, såsom odontologi, farmaci, humanbiologi og folkesundhedsvidenskab, vil også finde de beskrevne principper anvendelige som introduktion til basal statistik og epidemiologi.

Louise Hansen er bogens praktiserende læge, hun har mange patienter, men ikke tid nok.Danskerne er efterhånden gode til at blive gamle, high five, men det øger presset på sundhedsvæsenet. Derfor skal vi blive bedre til at udnytte teknologi til at løfte opgaver fra lægen over på patienten selv.Hvad hvis vi bad fremtidens patient om selv at undersøge sin urin for bakterier, pode for halsbetændelse, måle blodtryk, hjerterytme og iltning af blodet? Ville det betyde dårligere behandling? Nej, tværtimod.Smartphones, apps, puls-ure og kunstig intelligens er fremtidens nyttige værktøjer i lægetasken – og de kan forbedre behandlingen, befolkningssundheden og lægens arbejdsvilkår. De to læger Andreas Pihl og Michael Hejmadi giver et underholdende kig ind i den almene lægepraksis, hvor både sundhedsvæsenet og den praktiserende læge er sat skakmat af dumme systemer og forældede organisationer.

The inside story of how Big Pharma's relentless pursuit of ever-higher profits corrupts medical knowledge?misleading doctors, misdirecting American health care, and harming our health.The United States spends an excess $1.5 trillion annually on health care compared to other wealthy countries?yet the amount of time that Americans live in good health ranks a lowly 68th in the world. At the heart of the problem is Big Pharma, which funds most clinical trials and therefore controls the research agenda, withholds the real data from those trials as corporate secrets, and shapes most of the information relied upon by health care professionals.In this no-holds-barred exposé, Dr. John Abramson?one of the foremost experts on the drug industry's deceptive tactics?combines patient stories with what he learned during many years of serving as an expert in national drug litigation to reveal the tangled web of financial interests at the heart of the dysfunction in our health-care system. For example, one of pharma's best-kept secrets is that the peer reviewers charged with ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the clinical trial reports published in medical journals do not even have access to complete data and must rely on manufacturer-influenced summaries. Likewise for the experts who write the clinical practice guidelines that define our standards of care.The result of years of research and privileged access to the inner workings of the U.S. medical-industrial complex, Sickening shines a light on the dark underbelly of American health care?and presents a path toward genuine reform.

The book summarizes the emerging topic about the effects of SMF on biological samples ranging from single molecules, subcellular compartments, and cells to whole organisms. It also discusses the potential application of SMF in clinical treatment of cancer, pain, diabetes and other diseases.With the development and growing popularity of modern appliances like MRI in hospitals, the potential impact of magnetic fields on human health is invoking increasing concerns. At the same time, SMF has been explored in the treatment of tumor and other diseases for decades. Nevertheless, there are still some reservations and uncertainties about these treatments, which are largely due to the differential biological effects reported in the literature. These experimental inconsistencies are mainly caused by variations such as different magnetic field types, intensities, treatment time, as well as biological samples examined. The second edition added eight new chapters about new progress in this field including impacts of SMFs, magnetism of biomolecules, and potential of SMFs in the management of bone, pain, diabetes, and immune systems. This volume will help clarify some dilemmas in this field and encourage further investigations in order to achieve a better understanding of the biological effects of SMF, aiming for a rational application of SMF in clinical therapy in the near future. The book is useful for scientists, doctors, and students who are interested in magnetic fields and life sciences
