Nederlandstalig Dysartrieonderzoek-Kinderen NDO-K: Handleiding
by Van Gerven van den Engel-Hoek Ruessink Knuijt Kalf De SwartDoel van de testHet NDO-K is een instrument waarmee de diagnose 'dysartrie' bij kinderen gesteld kan worden. Daarnaast kan met het instrument het type dysartrie en de ernst ervan worden vastgesteld. In Nederland was tot op heden geen dysartrieonderzoek voor kinderen beschikbaar. Met het verschijnen van het NDO-K is hierin verandering gekomen. Het NDO-K is een gestandaardiseerd, valide en betrouwbaar instrument dat kan bijdragen aan goede basis voor logopedische therapie. Het type en de ernst van de dysartrie worden in het NDO-K onderzocht met behulp van gestandaardiseerde spreekopdrachten. Alle aspecten van de spraak, te weten adem, fonatie, articulatie, nasale resonantie en prosodie worden met deze opdrachten in kaart gebracht. Het NDO-K is bedoeld voor kinderen bij wie een vermoeden bestaat van aanwezigheid van een dysartrie. Het instrument is geschikt om af te nemen in de acute fase, de revalidatiefase en de chronische fase.Toepassing•Diagnostiek: stelt de diagnose dysartrie en bepaalt het type en de ernst van de dysartrie.•Differentiaaldiagnose: het NDO-K onderscheidt dysartrie van andere spraakstoornissen.•Behandeling: vormt de basis voor een passend therapieplan.•Wetenschappelijk onderzoek: de maximum performancetaken en de leesteksten zijn geschikt voor het verzamelen van genormeerde data. Onderzoek heeft laten zien dat de ernstscore betrouwbaar vastgesteld kan worden. Wat onderzoekt het NDO-K?Het NDO-K onderzoekt alle aspecten van de spraak met behulp van 6 spreektaken, te weten:•1. spontane spraak•2. lezen van een standaard tekst of naspreektaken•3. diadochokinese•4. glijtonen•5. roepen•6. maximale aanhoudingsduurVoor wie?Het NDO-K kan door logopedisten afgenomen worden. Scoring en interpretatie kan betrouwbaar gedaan worden door logopedisten die ervaren en/of getraind zijn in het luisteren naar dysartrische spraak. Hiervoor worden ook NDO-K workshops gegeven door het Radboudumc, afdeling Revalidatie logopedie kinderen. Zie https://www.radboudumc.nl/afdelingen/revalidatie/paramedische-disciplines/logopedie/volwassenen-en-kinderen/logopedie-kinderen/scholingAfname en scoringDe afname gebeurt in een vaste volgorde en duurt 20 tot 30 minuten. De afname wordt bij voorkeur op video opgenomen. Scoring gebeurt tijdens en na de afname, zo nodig wordt voor de scoring de video-opname terug gekeken. Aan de hand hiervan kan een inschatting gemaakt worden van de mate waarin de prestatie afwijkt (onmogelijk, duidelijk afwijkend, licht afwijkend). Voor de maximale prestatietaken zijn referentiewaarden toegevoegd.Materialen• NDO-K complete set (handleiding, formulieren, therapiemateriaal)• NDO-K scoreformulieren (set van 25) • NDO-K workshop (via Radboudumc)

Need-to-Know NAFLD: The Complete Guide to Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
by Naim Alkhouri Stephen A. HarrisonNonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the hepatic manifestation of the obesity and metabolic syndrome epidemics, which this up-to-date book deals with comprehensively. The contents outline disease mechanisms, diagnostic tests, management, varying manifestations, and special populations. It covers the mechanistic pathways that contribute to NAFLD development, including the role of genetic variants and the gut microbiome. It elaborates on noninvasive diagnostic tests to screen for NAFLD, determine its severity, and monitor response to lifestyle intervention and pharmacologic treatment. This book helps clinicians diagnose and treat this common and potentially deadly disease. Key Features: Reviews current drugs in development and provides practical advice to clinicians on the diagnosis and management of fatty liver. Proves attractive to primary care providers who are on the front line of managing patients with NAFLD, to gastroenterologists and hepatologists who would benefit from updated data on how to risk-stratify patients and identify those who will be eligible for pharmacologic treatment, and other specialists such as cardiologists, endocrinologists, and nephrologists who will find this book to be a useful reference on the extrahepatic manifestations of NAFLD. Focuses on extrahepatic manifestations and new insights on the mechanistic drivers of the disease.

Needles, Herbs, Gods, and Ghosts: China, Healing, and the West to 1848
by Linda L. BarnesWhen did the West discover Chinese healing traditions? Most people might point to the "rediscovery" of Chinese acupuncture in the 1970s. In Needles, Herbs, Gods, and Ghosts, Linda Barnes leads us back, instead, to the thirteenth century to uncover the story of the West's earliest known encounters with Chinese understandings of illness and healing. As Westerners struggled to understand new peoples unfamiliar to them, how did they make sense of equally unfamiliar concepts and practices of healing? Barnes traces this story through the mid-nineteenth century, in both Europe and, eventually, the United States. She has unearthed numerous examples of Western missionaries, merchants, diplomats, and physicians in China, Europe, and America encountering and interpreting both Chinese people and their healing practices, and sometimes adopting their own versions of these practices. A medical anthropologist with a degree in comparative religion, Barnes illuminates the way constructions of medicine, religion, race, and the body informed Westerners' understanding of the Chinese and their healing traditions.
Needs of Children and Young People Living with Complex Mental Health Difficulties: Why it’s Everyone’s Business
by Vanessa Heaslip Gemma TrainorThis book highlights how it is increasingly important that nurses and other health and social care professionals working with or caring for children and young people (CYP) can contribute to the care and support these vulnerable individuals need. Given the limited specialist mental health services available for CYP, this book helps to recognise when referral to specialist services is required. It is aimed at providing nurses, other health and social care professionals with a comprehensive understanding of some of the complex mental health issues faced by young people today and to provide them with confidence in how to interact helpfully with them. While covering a range of complex mental health issues (such as self-harm, eating disorders, and psychosis) this book also explores wider factors that can influence poor mental health (such as being Looked After, having a disability, drugs and alcohol, and social media). Alongside these, it explores some of the wider systems and processes that can provide practical guidance to practitioners (having a Trauma-informed approach, awareness of risk management, and safeguarding). Lastly, the book recognises how overwhelming it can be for practitioners working in this field and explores how they can use reflective practice and self-care in the development of a therapeutic relationship that enables them to interact positively and non-judgementally with young people with complex mental health issues. Examples of good practice are provided throughout the book by using case scenarios and tips from young people with lived experience.This book will prove to be an invaluable guide to assist nurses, teachers, social workers, paramedics, health care assistants and police force in giving help and support to CYP.
Negative Co-Receptors and Ligands
by Tasuku Honjo Rafi AhmedAdaptive immune responses serve as a key defense mechanism for the control of infections in vertebrates. Immune responses must be of sufficient strength to contain invading pathogens, antigen specific responses require regulatory mechanisms to ensure termination or downmodulation to avoid excessive damage to the host tissue. For both branches of the adaptive immune system, regulatory molecules i.e. coreceptors and ligands have been identified that control the signaling cascades initiated by engagement of the T cell and B cell antigen receptors. This book describes biological functions as well as molecular mechanisms of these molecules.

Neglected Diseases in Monkeys: From the Monkey-Human Interface to One Health
by Lisa Jones-Engel Sascha KnaufThis book offers a valuable resource, reviewing the current state of knowledge concerning the pathology and epidemiology of infectious diseases in both captive and wild monkeys. The One Health concept forms the framework of all chapters. The multidisciplinary team of authors addresses neglected diseases caused by the three major pathogen groups - bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Moreover, the volume discusses key virulence factors such as the evolution of antibiotic resistance, and the ecological drivers of and human influence on pathogen transmission. Demonstrating how researchers working on monkeys diseases are increasingly thinking outside the box, this volume is an essential reference guide to the field of One Health and will serve as an asset for stakeholders in conservation, healthcare and research organizations that face the challenge of moving beyond classical human oriented approaches to health.
Neglected No More: The Urgent Need to Improve the Lives of Canada's Elders in the Wake of a Pandemic
by Andre PicardIt took the coronavirus pandemic to open our eyes to the deplorable state of so many of the nation's long-term care homes: the inhumane conditions, overworked and underpaid staff, and lack of oversight. In this timely new book, esteemed health reporter André Picard reveals the full extent of the crisis in eldercare, and offers an urgently needed prescription to fix a broken system.When COVID-19 spread through seniors' residences across Canada, the impact was horrific. Along with widespread illness and a devastating death toll, the situation exposed a decades-old crisis: the shocking systemic neglect towards our elders.Called in to provide emergency care in some of the hardest-hit facilities in Ontario and Quebec, the military issued damning reports of what they encountered. And yet, the failings that were exposed--unappetizing meals, infrequent baths, overmedication, physical abuse and inadequate personal care--have persisted for years in these institutions. In Neglected No More, André Picard takes a hard look at how we came to embrace mass institutionalization, and lays out what can and must be done to improve the state of care for our elders, a highly vulnerable population with complex needs and little ability to advocate for themselves. Picard shows that the entire eldercare system--fragmented, underfunded and unsupported--is long overdue for a fundamental rethink. We need to find ways to ensure seniors can age gracefully in the community for longer, with supportive home care and respite for family caregivers, and ensure that long-term care homes are not warehouses of isolation and neglect. Our elders deserve nothing less.
Neglected Tropical Diseases - East Asia (Neglected Tropical Diseases)
by Jürg Utzinger Peiling Yap Martin Bratschi Peter SteinmannNeglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a group of diseases frequently found in impoverished communities in tropical and sub-tropical countries. The risk for many of the NTDs is high in both deprived urban and rural areas of East Asia. Adapted to the endemic settings and characteristics of the diseases, a range of tools and strategies are currently being rolled out for the large-scale control of many NTDs. Both vector control measures and community sensitization programmes have for example been used to control dengue in urbanized settings. Challenges posed by yaws and lymphatic filariasis are being addressed by mass drug administration, while rabies requires the involvement of the veterinary public health sector for disease control. For leprosy, an elimination target has been defined; however, achieving this goal remains a considerable challenge. Food-borne trematodiases, on the other hand, are emerging and require a deeper understanding of its burden in East Asia and how these diseases can be tackled in a cost-effective manner. Finally, factors, such as an increase of non-communicable diseases due to changing lifestyles which accompany economic growth, the spreading HIV epidemic as well as climate change and the occurrence of natural disasters can potentially affect the epidemiology and control of NTDs. This volume discusses the mentioned topics in detail with contributions by experts in the respective research areas from different working environments.

by Jill E. WeatherheadThis volume of the Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) series covers the most prevalent NTDs in North America. This book discusses in detail pathology, diagnostics and control approaches of selected NTDs in the sub-tropical regions of the United States of America. There are disproportionate numbers of children and adults living in poverty within the United States that are at risk of infections caused by helminths, protozoa, viruses and bacteria which commonly lead to chronic, debilitating and stigmatizing diseases. Each chapter focuses on one specific disease or series of related diseases, and provides in-depth insights into the topic.
Neglected Tropical Diseases - Oceania
by Alex LoukasThis volume of the Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) series covers the most prevalent NTDs in Oceania. This book will discuss in detail pathology, diagnostics and control approaches of selected NTDs in the geografic region. A large part of Oceania's population lives in poverty and therefore is at high risk for certain parasitic diseases, such as hookworm infection, lymphatic filariasis, strongyloidiasis or scabies. In addition bacterial infections such as dengue and new emerging viruses are of importance as major health risks for people living and traveling in this area. Each chapter focuses on one specific disease or series of related diseases, and provides in-depth insights into the topic.
