An Introduction to Epidemiology for Health Professionals
Epidemiology is an old scientific discipline that dates back to the middle of the nineteenth century. It is a discipline that aims at identifying the determinants of diseases and health in populations. It uses a population approach like demography, perhaps the scientific discipline that most closely resembles epidemiology. Epidemiology is defined by the object of research, ?to identity determinants that change the occurence of health phenomena in human populations?.rnrnEpidemiology is often associated with infectious diseases because an epidemic of a disease originally refrred to an unexpected rise in the incidence of infectious diseases. Epidemiologic methods were first used to study diseases like cholera and measles. Now all diseases or health events are studied by means of epidemiologic methods and these methods that are constantly changing to meet these new needs. Even the term ?epidemic? is used to describe an unexpected increase in the frequency of any disease such as myocardial infarction, obesity, or asthma.rn
Hughes, Mansel & Websters : Benign Disorders and Disease of the Breast
By far the majority of women presenting with a breast complaint will be diagnosed as having a benign rather than malignant condition. Despite this, clinical and research interest has always favoured breast cancer, and few publications and ahve attempted to cover benign breast disorders as an independent entity, focusing instead on benign breast disease in relation to breast cancer, and none provides the complete and pragmatic and coverage text. rnrnBenign breast disease comprises a wide range of conditions which worry patients, which vex physicians, which are vastly more common than breast cancer, and yet which have to date received relatively little attention in the medical literature.rn
Harrisons Infectious Diseases
Despite enormous advances in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention during the twentieth century, physicians caring for patients with infectious diseases today must cope with extraordinary new challenges, including a never ending deluge of new information, the rapid evaluation of the microorganism responsible for these diseases, and formidable time and cost contraints. In no other area of medicine is the differential diagnosis so wide, and often the narrowing of the differential to a precise infectioncaused by a specific organism with established antimicrobial susceptibilities is a matter of great urgency.rnrnrnTo inform crucial decisions about management, today?s care providers are typically turning to a variety of sources, including colleagues, print publications, and online services. rn
Laboratory Diagnosis of Infectious Disease : Essentials of Diagnostic Microbiology
Microbiology ? the study of microbes ? is a fascinating and extremely important subject. We are surounded by microscopic critters that impact our daily lives in a variety of ways. In addition to the numerous beneficial aspects of microbes, many of them cause disease. In recent years, the public has been bombarded by news reports about microbes-associated medical problems such as bird flu, SARS, monkeypox, flesh-eating bacterial, mad cow disease, superbugs, black mould in buildings, West Nile virus, Ebola virus, bioterorism, anthrax, smallpox, food recalls due to the presence of bacterial pathogens, and epidemics of meningitis, hepatitis, influenza, tuberculosis, and diarrheal diseases.rnrnrnImagine how rewarding it would be to play a mojor role in the diagnosis of microbial diseases. Laboratory Diagnosis of Infectious Diseases is intended for both teaching and learning about diagnostic microbiology. Although laboratory professionals do not actually diagnose diseases, they provide valuable assistance to clinicians by furnishing them with accurate and timely laboratory observations and test results. rn
Diagnostic Imaging Musculoskeletal : Non-Traumatic Disease
When an arthritic process is well establlished in a particular patient, it will usually achieve a typical appearance, which allows diagnosis by means of imaging. At such a moderately early or midstage of diseases, radiographs are usually sufficient to make the correct diagnosis. The diagnosis usually depends on the location of the joint abnormalities and a host of other radiographic characteristics.rnrnrnLocation of involved joints can eliminate some diagnoses and raise the probability of others. For example, distal interphalangeal joint disease is commonly seen in psoriatic arthristis, ostheoasthristis, and erosive osteoarthristis. However , it is not seen in rheumatoid arthristhis; thus this diagnosis should the sacroiliac joints would raise the possibility of ankylosing spondylitis, inflammatory bowel disease arthritis, psoroatic spondyloarthropathy, chronic reactive arthritis, osteoarthritis, and DISH. Common locations of joint involvement are illustrated in diagrammatic fashion in this section.rn
A Brief of the Human Body
Building upon our original vision, the second editio of A Brief Atlasof the Human Body features 51 soft tissue images and 104 bone images providing a degree of clarity and scale that could never be achieved within a text book alone. In addition, this edition includes a brand new section, histology of basic tissue and select organs, containing 55 outstanding histology slides photographed by Nina Zanetti of Siena College.
Human Anatomy and Physiology
As educators, clinically trained individuals, and perenial students, we are continually challenged by the learning mind. What works best to help students apply new information to the world they personally understand? Our clinical backgrounds have served our teaching and writing purposes well. Perhaps even more important, our clinical experience has allowed us to see our presentations through our students? eyes and from the vantage points of their career interests.rn rnrnFor this edition, as for those preceding it, feedback from student and instructor reviews indicated areas of the text that needed to be revised for clarity, timeliness, and just plain reduction of verbal meatiness. Overall, feedback was positive, verifying that our approach is effective : Explaining fundamental principles and unifying themes first creates a strong base for what comes later. Backing these explanatations up with comfortable analogies and familiar examples enhances student?s understanding of the working of the human body.rn
Epidemiology
In recent years epidemiology has become an increasingly important approach in both public health and clinical practice. Epidemiology is the basic science of disease prevention and plays major roles in the development and evaluation of public policy as well as in social and legal arenas. Together with laboratory research, epidemiology is now used identify environmental and genetic risk factors for disease and to shed light on the mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of different disease. The heightened media attention that epidemiology has recently received has major implications for health care providers and policy makers as well as for epidemiologists. As a result of this scrutiny, the approaches, methodology, and uses of epidemiology have garnered increasing interest from an ever-broadening group of professionals in different disciplines as well as from the public at large.rnrnrnThis book is an introduction to epidmeiology and to the epidemiologic approach to problems of health and disease. The basic principles and methods of epidemiology are presented together with many of the applications of epidemiology to public health and clinical practice.rn
CDC Health Information for International Travel 2010 : The Yellow Book
International travel continues to grow substantially every year. Not only are more travelers moving about, but they are heading to areas that have rarely been visited in the past. The travelers range in age from very young infants and small children to contenarians; they may have pre-existing medical conditions, may be immunosuppresed, or may be pregnant or contemplating pregnancy. Additionally, people travel internationally for a variety of reasons other than tourism, mission work, or responding to an international disaster. The infectious disease risks that travelers face are a shifting target-some travel destinations have become safer, but in others, new diseases have emerged and old ones have re-emerged.rnrnrnThe risk of becoming ill injured during international travel depends on many factors, such as the region of the world visited, a traveler?s age and health status, the length of the trip, and the diversity of planned activities. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides travel health infromations to address the many different health risks a traveler may face, with the aim of assisting travelers and their health-care providers to better understand the measures necessary to prevent illness and injury during international travel. rn
Atlas of Contraception
Family planning is a branch of preventive medicine that can have a profound impact on the health of women and their children. Physicians have taken a leadership role in family planning because they often see the acute suffering that occurs when people are denied contraceptive choice. At the same time, family planning differs from other branches of medicine in two critical ways : it is only successful when those concerned recognize that consumer choice is more important that physician preference, and it most cases it deals with healthy people.rnrnrnFamily planning and reproductive health is a branch of preventive medicine that can have a profound impact on the health of women and their children. Like many other aspects of medicine, certain contraceptive choices require surgical or clinical skills in order to be used correctly. For some couples with chronic sickness or inheritable diseases, family planning advice is an intrinsic part of comprehensive patient care. Physician have also taken a leadership role in family planning because they often see the acute suffering that occurs when people are denied family planning choices. rn
