Basic Health Physics : Problems and Solutions
This book provides a broad introductory survey of the health physics field. It introduces radiation protection principles and their practical application through traditional text and a wide variety of problems. It is through the problems that the reader experiences a broad spectrum of the application of the health physics field.rnrnrnBasic Health Physics assumes that the reader is familiar with the physiscs of radiation protection and is either a student in the field or is interested in learning more about the health physics profession. In particular, this text is useful to individuals preparing for the American Board of Health Physics Certification Examination.rn
Allergy and Asthma : Practical Diagnosis and Management
Allergy is perhaps the most commonly used terms in hospitals and ambulatory care settings. Inquiring about drug and latex allergy has become a routine part of the history taking of a new patient. Hay fever, food allergy, poison ivy exposure, bee sting allergy, and asthma are familiar terms to many individuals and important reasons for frequent visit to the doctor and emergency departement.rnrnAllergic diseases are the sixth lending cause of chronic disease in the United States. Teaching the diagnosis and management of such improtant diseases was the reason for preparing this collection. rnrnThis book is a collaborative work by the knowledgeable experts in the field of allergy and clinical immunology. Teachers and expert clinicians share their expertise in an easy-to-follow Lange series format. What makes this book unique is the inclusion of uncommonly discussed but improtant topics such as pollution, cough, pseudoasthma, sick building syndrome, complementary and alternative therapy, and allergy in the elderly, among others.rn
Andrology : Male Reproductive Health and Dysfunction
Andrology, as the science of males reproductive function and dysfunction, has experienced exceptional progress in recent years. Especially clinical applications of molecular biology and molecular genetics to male infertility and hypogonadism, the ?invention? of intracytoplasmatic sperm injection (ICSI) as a treatment of male infertility and the introduction of effective oral medication for erectile dysfunction can be considered major breakthroughs. The magnitude of these developments, along with many others, prompted this second edition of Andrology : Male Reproductive Health and Dysfunction.rnrnrnAs in the first edition, the textbook follows the principles of evidence-based medicine and provides a firm scientific basis for clinical andrology. As before, we consider andrology as part of the comprehensive field of reproductive medicine, but we are convinced that it can coexist alongside gynecology only when it qualifies as a scientific and clinical field in its own right. For this textbook seeks to strengthen andrology as a field , along with acting as a source of information.rn
Advanced Nutrition and Human Metabolism
Since the first edition was published in 1990, much has changed in the science of nutrition. But the purpose of the text, to provide through coverage of normal metabolism for upper- division nutrition students, remains the same. We continue to strive for a level of detail and scope of material that satisfy the needs of both instructors and students. With each succeding edition, we have responded to suggestions from instructors, content reviewers, and students that have improved the text by enhancing the clarity of the material and by ensuring accuracy. In addition, we have included the latest and most pertinent nutrition professionals with the fundamental information vital to their careers and to provide the basis for assimilating new scientific discoveries as the happen.rnrnrnBecause this book focuses on normal human nutrition and physiological function, it is an effective resource for students majoring in either nutrition sciences or dietetics. Intended for a course in advanced nutrition, the text presumes a sound background in the biological science, particularly biochemistry and physiology, which are important to understanding the material. This text applies biochemistry to nutrient use from consumption through digestion, absorption, distribution, and celular metabolismrn
Medical Microbiology : a Guide to Infections : Pathogenesis, Immunity, Laboratory Diagnosis and Control
Infection in its various guises continues to influence, directly and indirectly, the day-to-day practice of all branches of medicine, surgery and public health. Diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis and AIDS kill milions of people each year, but represent only a fraction of the total burden of infectious, antibiotic resistance, food-borne pathogens, and fears of epidemic virus diseases like influenza fuel concern for health-care practitioners, government agencies, the media and the public alike. The need to understand the fascinating world of microbes and the issues surrounding the diagnosis, management, epidemiology and control of infectious diseases has never been more pressing.rnrnrnAs before, this new edition of Medical Microbiology aims to bridge the gap between texts that deal with microbiology in a traditional, organism-based way and those that take microbial diseases as the starting point or attempt to view the subject from an immunological or epidemiological perspective. A throught overview of microbial biology and the principles of the body?s immunological response to various types of micro-organism paves the way for a systematic consideration of individual groups of bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites.rn

Applying a transnational, or cross-border, approach, the book analyze ethical issues that arise from the movement of patients and health professionals across national borders, such as medical tourism and transplant tourism, ethical obligations to provide care for undocumented aliens, and the ?brain drain? of health profesionals from developing countries.
Health Care Information Systems : A Practical Approach for Health Management
Information system (IS) constitue the source of many of the problems in the health care industry. Health care is one of the most transaction-intensive industries (estimated at thirty billion transactions annually), given all the encounters between patients and providers, providers and other providers, providers and insures, suppliers and providers, and so on. Yet compared to other industries, health care has historically underinvested in IS-and it shows. The transaction between parties in health care take place not so much electronically as through a mixture of telephone, paper, fax, and EDI media. The result is that much information is never captured, is captured inefficiently, or is difficult to retrieve and use. Moreover, the industry relies heavily on legacy systems that cannot communicate with one another, not only between organizations but often within the same organization.
Transforming Public Health Practice
The activities of public health departements, which focus on the prevention of health problem before they occur, make up of the most important components for achieving better population health in every community in the United States. If we are ever to improve the health of the population, there is a very real need for public health intervention within every community population. This not will happen until the public health system?s infrastucture is rebuilt, an endeavor that must include leadership training for those placed in charge of this area of health care services delivery in our country.
