Achieving Sustainable Global Capacity For Surveillance And Response To Emerging Diseases Of Zoonotic Origin: Workshop Report
by Institute of Medicine National Research Council of the National AcademiesOne of the biggest threats today is the uncertainty surrounding the emergence of a novel pathogen or the re-emergence of a known infectious disease that might result in disease outbreaks with great losses of human life and immense global economic consequences. Over the past six decades, most of the emerging infectious disease events in humans have been caused by zoonotic pathogens--those infectious agents that are transmitted from animals to humans. In June 2008, the Institute of Medicine's and National Research Council's Committee on Achieving Sustainable Global Capacity for Surveillance and Response to Emerging Diseases of Zoonotic Origin convened a workshop. This workshop addressed the reasons for the transmission of zoonotic disease and explored the current global capacity for zoonotic disease surveillance.
Achieving Sustainable Workplace Wellbeing (Aligning Perspectives On Health, Safety And Well-being Ser.)
by David Watson Kevin Daniels Olga Tregaskis Rachel NayaniIn this groundbreaking interdisciplinary work, the authors focus on organizational analysis to understand workplace wellbeing, deviating from previous research that mostly looks at the individual worker or intervention. In addressing the question of why workplace health and wellbeing practices initiatives fall short of delivering sustained improvements in worker wellbeing, this book moves beyond localized explanations of the failure of specific interventions. Instead, it creates theoretical frameworks that explain how wellbeing at work can be improved and sustained. The authors use evidence from systematic and comprehensive surveys of the literature as well as new empirical research, and present an explanatory framework of the processes through which organizations change to implement and accommodate workplace health and wellbeing practices. Learning, adaptation and continuation explain successful implementation of workplace health and wellbeing practices, while Gestalting, fracturing and grafting explain how organizations resolve or negotiate conflict between health and wellbeing practices and existing organizational procedures, systems and practices. In addition, the authors reflect on the implications for research of reframing the unit of analysis as the organization and how studies on workplace wellbeing practices can provide a conceptual platform for thinking about the way organizations can create social value in a broader sense. This book, authored by experts in their field, is a great resource for academics and professionals of organizational studies and of worker wellbeing across the social sciences, behavioural sciences, business and management courses, wellbeing research, and labour studies.
Achieving an AIDS Transition
by Mead OverFive million people in poor countries are receiving AIDS treatment, but international AIDS policy is still in crisis. Donors are giving less than they had been, even though infections continue unabated, and the number of people dependent on treatment rises each year.This book proposes a feasible medium-term objective for AIDS policy: achieving an "AIDS transition," that is, keeping AIDS deaths down by sustaining treatment while pushing new infections even lower, so that the total number of people living with HIV/AIDS begins to decline. How? Through a new, incentive-driven strategy to improve HIV prevention and a sustained effort to get the most from AIDS treatment.
Achtergronden van farmaceutische patiëntenzorg (Basiswerk AG)
by Jeroen MentinkDit boek gaat in op het leveren van farmaceutische patiëntenzorg. Om deze zorg goed te kunnen leveren is het noodzakelijk meer te weten over onderwerpen die daar een belangrijke rol bij spelen: denk aan medicatieveiligheid, het goed uitvoeren van medicatiebewaking, polyfarmacie, de invloed van therapietrouw en de samenwerking tussen de verschillende zorgverleners, zoals de huisarts, de praktijkondersteuner, de thuiszorg, de specialisten in het ziekenhuis en andere apotheken. In het boek is ook aandacht voor de rol van de mantelzorger, de zorg aan de patiënt die niet meer beter wordt (palliatieve zorg) en de kwaliteit van zorg die elke apotheek moet leveren.Achtergronden van farmaceutische patiëntenzorg is een geheel nieuw boek. Het heeft zijn eigen plek gekregen naast het standaardwerk Farmacotherapie voor apothekersassistenten. Het boek sluit door de inhoud naadloos aan op de onderdelen B1-K1 ‘Voert geïndividualiseerde farmaceutische patiëntenzorg uit’, B1-K1 ‘Verleent niet-receptgestuurde zorg aan de patiënt’ en B1-K4-W3 ‘Werkt multidisciplinair samen en stemt werkzaamheden af (samenwerking)’ uit het Kwalificatiedossier. Daarnaast is het boek bij uitstek geschikt om ingezet te worden bij het keuzedeel ‘Specifieke doelgroepen voor de apothekersassistent’. In Nederland is het begrip ‘farmaceutische patiëntenzorg (FPZ)’ in 1993 geïntroduceerd. Bij farmaceutische patiëntenzorg vindt een intensievere begeleiding van patiënten plaats door de apotheek. Het doel is dat de patiënt zijn geneesmiddelen zo effectief, correct en veilig mogelijk gebruikt. Dit kan alleen als het apotheekteam de patiënt goed kan informeren over de geneesmiddelen, de toediening en het doel of belang van de behandeling. Farmaceutische patiëntenzorg wordt geleverd door het hele apotheekteam. Achtergronden van farmaceutische patiëntenzorg is geschikt voor iedereen die de opleiding tot apothekersassistent volgt. Daarnaast is het als naslagwerk erg handig in de dagelijkse praktijk van de apotheek.Jeroen Mentink is openbaar apotheker in Zierikzee. Naast zijn werkzaamheden als apotheker is hij actief in het onderwijs en heeft hij ruime ervaring met (na)scholing van apothekers, farmaceutisch consulenten en apothekersassistenten. Verder heeft hij zitting in diverse (vakinhoudelijke) commissies en is hij actief als auteur van scholingen en naslagwerken.
Achtsam einsam sein: Ein interdisziplinärer Überblick über die Kunst der inneren Unabhängigkeit
by Hans-Arved WillbergIn diesem populären Fachbuch werden die Chancen des Alleinseins und der Einsamkeit für die persönliche Entwicklung und die eigene psychische Gesundheit aufgezeigt. Denn Einsamkeit ist nicht dasselbe wie Vereinsamung. Vereinsamung schwächt die psychophysische Konstitution und kann krank machen. Aber Einsamkeit kann auch die Gesundheit stärken. Einsamkeit gehört zu den notwendigen menschlichen Reifungserfahrungen und birgt Quellen für Kreativität. Dieses Buch differenziert die gesunde Einsamkeit von der kränkenden und krank machenden Einsamkeit. Erkenntnisse aus Psychologie und Sozialwissenschaften geben einen interdisziplinären Überblick über die Phänomene Einsamkeit und Vereinsamung, beschreiben das menschliche Bedürfnis nach Nähe und Distanz, konzentrieren sich aber darauf, welche Ressourcen im Alleinsein liegen: Wie komme ich zu mir selbst? Und wie bleibe ich dort, wenn ständig Eindrücke weiterer Menschen auf mich einwirken? Wie bewahre ich meine eigene Würde? Wie finde ich durch bewusste Distanz und Achtsamkeit zu mehr persönlicher Kreativität? Dieses Buch für Fachpersonen aus Psychologie, Psychotherapie, Beratung und Pädagogik macht Mut, sich die Quellen gesunder Einsamkeit zu erschließen und gibt Hinweise darauf, wie das geschehen kann.

Acid Dreams: The CIA, the Sixties, and Beyond
by Martin A. Lee Bruce ShlainMartin Lee and Bruce Shlain's exhaustively researched and astonishing account -- part of it gleaned from secret government files -- tells how the CIA became obsessed with LSD as an espionage weapon during the early l950s and launched a massive covert research program, in which countless unwitting citizens were used as guinea pigs. Though the CIA was intent on keeping the drug to itself, it ultimately couldn't prevent it from spreading into the popular culture; here LSD had a profound impact and helped spawn a political and social upheaval that changed the face of America.
Acid Revival: The Psychedelic Renaissance and the Quest for Medical Legitimacy
by Danielle GiffortA vivid analysis of the history and revival of clinical psychedelic science Psychedelic drugs are making a comeback. In the mid-twentieth century, scientists actively studied the potential of drugs like LSD and psilocybin for treating mental health problems. After a decades-long hiatus, researchers are once again testing how effective these drugs are in relieving symptoms for a wide variety of psychiatric conditions, from depression and obsessive–compulsive disorder to posttraumatic stress disorder and substance addiction. In Acid Revival, Danielle Giffort examines how this new generation of researchers and their allies are working to rehabilitate psychedelic drugs and to usher in a new era of psychedelic medicine. As this team of researchers and mental health professionals revive the field of psychedelic science, they are haunted by the past and by one person in particular: psychedelic evangelist Timothy Leary. Drawing on extensive archival research and interviews with people working on scientific psychedelia, Giffort shows how today&’s researchers tell stories about Leary as an &“impure&” scientist and perform his antithesis to address a series of lingering dilemmas that threaten to rupture their budding legitimacy. Acid Revival presents new information about the so-called psychedelic renaissance and highlights the cultural work involved with the reassembly of dormant areas of medical science. This colorful and accessible history of the rise, fall, and reemergence of psychedelic medicine is infused with intriguing narratives and personalities—a story for popular science aficionados as well as for scholars of the history of science and medicine.

Acinetobacter: Biology and Pathogenesis (Infectious Agents and Pathogenesis)
by Eugénie Bergogne-Bérézin Mauro Bendinelli Herman FriedmanThere is currently increasing interest concerning the biology and disease caused by Acinetobacter species. Such interest, however, developed relatively slowly because of the necessity to clarify the confusing taxonomy of these organisms. Much work was needed to identify various species as members of this genus, to recognize their epidemiologic profile, their pathogenic role and their increasing importance as multi-antibiotic resistant organisms. In recent years improvement of genetic approaches, recognition of plasmids, integrons and chromosomal sources of resistance mechanisms aroused interest on the role of Acinetobacters in disease by many microbiologists and clinicians, especially internists and infectious disease specialists. In this regard, physicians are frequently confronted with extremely difficult therapeutic approaches for treatment and prevention of severe nosocomial infections due to multi antibiotic resistant Acinetobacter. Moreover, recent observations of community acquired infections have been reported, especially in patients with various risk factors such as immuno-deficiencies. Also, it is now becoming evident that Acinetobacter infections occur frequently in violent situations such as earthquake or war zones. The mechanisms of Acinetobacter virulence are becoming increasingly clear, providing new insights into their pathogenic role in community acquired infections. It is apparent the time is appropriate for detailed review of the increasing knowledge concerning important new information, both clinical and therapeutic, especially information concerning virulence, resistance mechanisms and typing of Acinetobacter spp. Many new findings are accumulating in almost an exponential manner since publication of previous books on this subject in 1991 and 1996.
