A practical guide for the nursing care of neonates within hospital and home settings for the first year of life.

While medical specialists in disaster mitigation, preparedness, and response are needed worldwide, the initial phase of disaster response is almost entirely dependent upon local resources-making it essential that all healthcare personnel have a working knowledge of the field and stand ready to integrate into the response system. Ciottone's Disaster Medicine, 3rd Edition, is the most comprehensive reference available to help accomplish these goals in every community. It thoroughly covers isolated domestic events as well as global disasters and humanitarian crises. Dr. Gregory Ciottone and more than 200 worldwide authorities share their knowledge and expertise on the preparation, assessment, and management of both natural and man-made disasters, including lessons learned by the responders to contemporary disasters such as the COVID-19 pandemic, Australian and western U.S. wildfires, European heatwaves, the Beirut explosion, recent hurricanes and typhoons, and the global refugee crisis. Part 1 offers an A-to-Z resource for every aspect of disaster medicine and management, while Part 2 features an exhaustive compilation of every conceivable disaster event, organized to facilitate quick reference in a real-time setting. Covers basic concepts such as identification of risks, organizational preparedness, equipment planning, disaster education and training, and more advanced concepts such as disaster risk reduction, health in complex emergencies, building local disaster resiliency, psychological impact of disasters on children, and more.

The extraordinary ways the brain can misfire'Fascinating and compassionate' Horatio Clare The King of France ? thinking he was made of glass ? was terrified he might shatter…and he wasn't alone. After the Emperor met his end at Waterloo, an epidemic of Napoleons piled into France's asylums. Throughout the nineteenth century, dozens of middle-aged women tried to convince their physicians that they were, in fact, dead. For centuries we've dismissed delusions as something for doctors to sort out behind locked doors. But delusions are more than just bizarre quirks ? they hold the key to collective anxieties and traumas. In this groundbreaking history, Victoria Shepherd uncovers stories of delusions from medieval times to the present day and implores us to identify reason in apparent madness.

Drawing from the latest developments and approaches in Alzheimer's and dementia care, Forget Me Not has all the answers.

This edited volume is a compilation of 30 articles discussing what constitutes food for health and longevity. The aim is to provide up-to-date information, insights, and future tendencies in the ongoing scientific research about nutritional components, food habits and dietary patterns in different cultures. The health-sustaining and health-promoting effects of food are certainly founded in its overall composition of macronutrients and micronutrients. However, the consumption of these nutrients is normally in the form of raw or prepared food from the animal and plant sources. The book is divided into four parts and a conclusion, and successfully convenes the well-established information and knowledge, along with the personal views of a diversified group of researchers and academicians on the multifaceted aspects of nutrition, food and diet. The first part reviews the scientific information about proteins, carbohydrates, fats and oils, micronutrients, pro- and pre-biotics, and hormetins, along with a discussion of the evolutionary principles and constraints about what is optimal food, if any. The second part discusses various kinds of foods and food supplements with respect to their claimed benefits for general health and prevention of some diseases. The third part brings in the cultural aspects, such as what are the principles of healthy eating according to the traditional Chinese and Indian systems, what is the importance of mealing times and daily rhythms, and how different cultures have developed  different folk wisdoms for eating for health, longevity and immortality. In the part four, various approaches which are either already in practice or are still in the testing and research phases are discussed and evaluated critically, for example intermittent fasting and calorie restriction, food-based short peptides, senolytics, Ayurvedic compounds, optimal food for old people, and food for the prevention of obesity and other metabolic disorders.The overreaching aim of this book is to inform, inspire and encourage students, researchers, educators and medical health professionals thinking about food and food habits in a holistic context of our habits, cultures and patterns. Food cannot be reduced to a pill of nutritional components. Eating food is a complex human behavior culturally evolved over thousands of years. Perhaps the old adage "e;we are what we eat"e; needs to be modified to "e;we eat what we are"e;.

This book gathers the revised and selected contributions to the 6th Dementia Lab Conference, D-Lab 2022, held on September 20-22, 2022, in Leuven. It describes original and innovative research on how design can contribute to the quality of life of people with dementia, their loved ones, and caregivers. The papers highlight the value of participation within design, analyzing it at three levels: personal, product, and organizational. The presented ideas and findings address 'The Residue of Design' and go beyond the initial impact of the design itself by looking at what benefits design research brings for people with dementia. The papers cover topics such as the development of creative design methods to foster participation and engagement from people with dementia, evaluation studies or critical reflections that reveal the impact of products and the built environment in dementia care, and raising awareness and countering stigma in societal views on dementia.

Die Digitalisierung durchzieht als Megatrend auch die Dienstleistungsbranchen Gesundheit und Pflege. Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien setzen vermehrt Impulse, Gesundheits- und Pflegeleistungen zu unterstutzen: z.B. Televisite - Telekonsultation, Monitoring - KI - Entscheidungsunterstutzungssysteme, Medical Apps, digitale Patientenakte. Haufig wird die Notwendigkeit der technischen Unterstutzung mit dem Fachkraftemangel begrundet. Die Digitalisierung hat zudem das Potenzial, das Versorgungsgeschehen von der Arbeit am Klienten bis hin zu den Verwaltungsstrukturen grundlegend zu verandern. Wie der Einsatz von digital unterlegten Technologien insbesondere im sensiblen Bereich der Altenpflege erfolgreich umgesetzt werden kann und dabei auch stets den Menschen im Blick behalt, erlautern die Autoren dieses essentials anhand von Beispielen aus den Bereichen Augmented Reality, Robotik, Sturzsensorik und Pflegedokumentation. Dabei werden sie von dem Konzept Strategische Mensch-Maschine-Partnerschaft geleitet. Die neuen Anforderungen an die Qualifikation der handelnden Akteure werden ebenso diskutiert wie Fragen technologischer Voraussetzungen.  

Hvordan ydes sygepleje af høj kvalitet til immobile patienter?At være immobil er ikke en sygdom i sig selv, men immobile patienter er i øget risiko for en lang række af sygdomme, og konsekvenserne for manglende bevægelse påvirker bl.a. hjerte, kredsløb, knogler, hud, fordøjelse og muskler. Med denne grundbog indføres læseren i den komplekse sygepleje, der skal ydes til immobile patienter, hvad enten disse er bevidstløs (total immobilitet) eller har funkionsnedsættelse (delvis immobilitet).Bogen indeholder 12 fundamentale kapitler svarende til Sundhedsstyrelsens 12 sygeplejefaglige områder. Dette betyder, at immobilitet – som et gennemgående vandmærke – bliver holdt op mod lyset af følgende hovedemner: funktionsniveau, bevægeapparat, ernæring, hud og slimhinder, kommunikation, psykosociale forhold, respiration og cirkulation, seksualitet, smerter og sanseindtryk, søvn og hvile, viden og udvikling samt udskillelser. Tilsammen danner bogens kapitler en helhedsfremstilling af immobile patienters mange udfordringer gennem konsekvent brug af cases og refleksionsspørgsmål og velvalgte illustrationer.Bogen er målrettet sygeplejestuderende, som klædes på til at kunne varetage grundlæggende sygepleje af høj kvalitet til immobile patienter, men også uddannede sygeplejersker, kliniske undervisere i primær og sekundær sektor samt andre sundhedsprofessionelle kan med fordel læse med.Fagredaktør er Ben Farid Røjgaard Nielsen

"Non-coding RNA Transcripts in Cancer Therapy: Pre-clinical and Clinical Implications" provides a new insight towards role of non-coding RNAs molecules including microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs and circular RNAs in cancer. The reason of focusing on cancer is that this malignant disease is responsible for high death around the world and after cardiovascular diseases, it is a leading cause of death. In the current book, the basic information and knowledge about ncRNAs, their biogenesis and their biological functions are covered. It is shown that ncRNAs can regulate expression level of genes at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels and therefore, ncRNAs are master and key players in molecular pathways. Then, the impact of regulation of molecular pathways by ncRNAs on important molecular mechanisms such as proliferation, metastasis, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, apoptosis and autophagy are described. All of these aspects are integrated in cancer and for treatment of this disease. In case of miRNAs, their biogenesis and biological functions in physiological conditions are described. Then, impact of miRNAs on proliferation, metastasis, therapy response (drug resistance and radio-resistance) is described. For lncRNAs and circRNAs, a same way is followed and their biogenesis and functional roles in cells are discussed. At the next step, function of lncRNAs and circRNAs in regulating proliferation, metastasis and therapy response (chemoresistance and radio-resistance) is introduced. These subjects are discussed based on pre-clinical studies and in order to make the book more comprehensive and broaden its scope, the function of exosomal ncRNAs in diagnosis and prognosis of cancer patients is described.

Behandling og pleje, der retter sig mod patienter medskiftende bevidsthedstilstand og nedsat opmærksomhed, kan være en udfordring. Systematisk screening for delirium er derfor vigtigt, da syndromet ofte bliver overset eller forveksles med andre tilstande som demens, depression og angst. Delirium er altid en forværring af patientens tilstand, og detektion er en forudsætning for, at delirium kan behandles. I Delirium belyses mange af syndromets aspekter grundigt gennem forskningsresultater, mens løbende cases giver en patientnær forståelse af emnet. Indledende i bogen findes desuden en omfattende ordforklaringsliste over de begreber, som man ofte støder på og skal kende i forbindelse med deliriumtilstande. Forfattergruppen repræsenterer forskellige professioner med interesse for deliriumproblematikken. Dette giver en dynamisk introduktion til emnet og et samlet overblik over nyere viden om delirium, som kan være særligt relevant for studerende, sygeplejersker, fysioterapeuter, ergoterapeuter, neuropsykologer og læger, men bogen er anvendelig for alle i sundhedssektoren, der arbejder med patienter, som potentielt har delirium.
