Eine gelingende Kommunikation wünschen sich alle, insbesondere in der Pflege. Die unterschiedlichsten Fertigkeiten sind nämlich gefragt, wenn es um Gespräche mit Klientinnen und Klienten, ihren Angehörigen oder im multiprofessionellen Team geht. Das Buch will die Grundlagen menschlicher, kommunikativer Interaktion vermitteln, dabei aber den Fokus auf alltagstaugliche und wirklich machbare Lösungen legen und so ihre professionelle Gestaltung, Reflexion, Planung und Steuerung ermöglichen. Dabei macht es die Vorgänge rund um die Kommunikation ¿zwischen den Zeilen¿ greifbar und setzt dazu mitten im Pflegealltag an. Von dort aus sollen bekannte und weniger bekannte Mechanismen rund um das kommunikative Miteinander gezeigt und erklärt werden.Den Rahmenbedingungen, unter denen Pflege stattfindet, wird dabei ebenso Beachtung geschenkt, wie neueren Entwicklungen rund um Sprache oder auch Interkulturalität; als besonders chancenreich erweist sich dabei immer wieder dieanaloge Kommunikation.Es richtet sich in erster Linie an Pflegepersonen, aber auch Angehörige von Pflegenden werden darin hilfreiche Impulse finden.

Hvordan sikrer vi et systematisk arbejde med kvalitet og patientsikkerhed i det danske sundhedsvæsen? Der er en stigende ulighed i sundhed og en øget sygdomsbyrde med især kroniske sygdomme og en stigende ældrebefolkning, ligesom 10% af alle patienter udsættes for en alvorlig utilsigtet hændelse. Samtidig tabes mange økonomiske ressourcer på gulvet på grund af dårlig kvalitet og svigtende patientsikkerhed. Disse udfordringer kan afhjælpes med systematisk arbejde med kvalitet og patientsikkerhed som i bogen er beskrevet af førende danske forskere og klinikere.Bogen henvender sig til alle sundhedsfaglige uddannelser på både universiteterne og på professionshøjskolerne, og den er i høj grad også relevant til kurser i faglige organisationer og videnskabelige sammenslutninger. Konkret er bogen især henvendt til læger, sygeplejersker, fysioterapeuter, ergoterapeuter, bioanalytikere, radiografer, jordemødre, psykologer og social- og sundhedsassistenter. Den kan også læses med stort udbytte af politikere og ledere på alle niveauer.Kvalitet og patientsikkerhed dækker alle relevante begreber, metoder og gældende terminologi i det samlede sundhedsvæsen – fra kommunerne over praksissektoren til hospitalerne. Der er fokus på: Det patientcentrerede sundhedsvæsen - fra retlige rammer til tilrettelæggelse af patientforløb Kvalitetsmåling Kvalitetsforbedring Statistisk proceskontrol Ledelse af kvalitet Oversættelse og implementering af kvalitetsstrategier Kvalitet og økonomi - herunder prisen for god kvalitet og de økonomiske konsekvenser af dårlig kvalitet.

The physicochemical properties of drugs limit their delivery in terms of absorption, circulation, residence time, and so on, which in turn impacts the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, toxicity, immunogenicity, and efficacy of these drugs. Various advanced drug delivery systems can overcome such issues and improve therapeutic efficacy. Recent developments in novel drug delivery systems have opened new avenues to providing the safest, most effective, and most stable dosage forms. This book discusses advanced drug delivery systems, including oraganogels, transdermal delivery systems for chronic and acute pain, ocular systems, nanosponges for cancer targeting, and much more.

The role of nanoscale drug carriers for the effective and controlled delivery of drugs and candidate antigens is instrumental in developing therapeutic and vaccine interventions for cancers, infectious diseases and beyond. As teachers of immunobiology, we think this information will contribute to the development of interventional approaches. This book, therefore, will be a valuable addition to existing knowledge in many medical schools and undergraduate courses, providing up-to-date information on drugs and their delivery for maximum therapeutic effect and vaccination potential against infectious diseases, cancers and more. Novel drugs are described, with an assessment of their effective delivery and of drug resistance, especially against cancers. The book is a timely addition to the existing literature on lipid-based nanoparticles and will be a useful resource for students, researchers, and those working in the field of drugs, drug delivery, and drug resistance in infectious and inflammatory diseases.

Cancer mortality and morbidity are primarily brought on by metastasis. The ability of neoplastic cells to spread and colonize distant tissues is their most dangerous trait. Most malignancies are curable when they are detected early and have not spread outside of the original tissue. However, cancer is frequently incurable when tumor cells have created colonies elsewhere. Thus, the book content This book provides comprehensive information on cancer metastasis, along with references to specific cancer cases. The topics discussed include invasion by perturbation of cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion, matrix degradation, motility, intravasation, extravasation, metastatic colonization, metastasis and angiogenesis. Molecular mechanisms, the metastatic process, and palliative bone metastasis therapy are also considered.

This book discusses various topics in pharmacovigilance. The first section addresses such topics as approaches to minimize adverse drug reactions, different stakeholders and their importance in pharmaceutical policy development, changing needs for pharmacovigilance in the African region, machine learning applications in pharmacovigilance, and pharmacovigilance of biological drugs. The second section discusses signal detection, which is a promising approach that helps in the early identification of new, rare drug reactions (desired or undesired).

Drug authentication is generally governed by critical procedures. This book presents a comprehensive overview of drug design, highlighting the steps involved from the discovery phase to product approval. Chapters address such topics as drug development processes, pharmaceutical nanoformulations and cosmeceuticals for topical use, ocular drug delivery systems, and drug development involving computer-aided drug design, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.

Tumor angiogenesis is critical for tumor growth and progression. It is a multistep and complicated process, and the mechanism underlying tumor angiogenesis is not fully elucidated. Recent advances in tumor angiogenesis research have led to improved diagnosis, drug treatment, and clinical management of cancer. However, novel strategies for cancer treatment are urgently needed, especially biomarker discovery for diagnosis, prognosis, and targeted therapy. This book presents the most recent advances in tumor angiogenesis.

Conventional drug administration has several issues and challenges. Drugs may not be fully absorbed or targeted, some drugs produce undesirable secondary effects and cause organ damage, and others trigger inflammation and immune response. As such, drug carrier systems are being developed to help promote drug absorption, enhance targeting, and avoid or decrease negative symptoms. This book examines different drug carriers and drug carrier systems. Chapters address such topics as the use of polymers in drug carrier systems, thin films, metal-organic frameworks, graphene quantum dots, and nanotechnology and microfluidics for drug delivery.
