Voorlichting en advies in de apotheek
by M. Dettingmeijer H. EllingVoorlichting en advies spelen een belangrijke rol in het werk van apothekersassistenten en hier worden hoge eisen aan gesteld. Goede voorlichting en begeleiding is immers één van de pijlers van een verantwoord geneesmiddelgebruik en een belangrijke voorwaarde voor therapietrouw. Naast een inhoudelijk deel (de informatie moet juist zijn), heeft voorlichting ook een belangrijke communicatieve component. Voorlichting en advies in de apotheek geeft een theoretische basis om de juiste informatie op de juiste manier en op het juiste moment over te brengen. Uitgangspunt in dit boek is het (bewerkte) model van informatieverwerking: de voorlichtingspijl (ontwikkeld door Stichting O&O). Er worden diverse vormen van voorlichting en gesprekken behandeld. Daarnaast wordt ingegaan op verschillende patiëntengroepen: ouderen, chronisch zieken, allochtonen, kinderen, zwangere vrouwen en vrouwen met een kinderwens.
Voorlichting en advies in de tandartspraktijk (Basiswerk AG)
by Rianne Schotsman Nienke van OsDit studieboek biedt een theoretische basis voor het geven van voorlichting en advies door de tandartsassistent. De auteurs gaan in op het proces van gedragsverandering aan de hand van het zogeheten Model van Balm. Dit model is leidend in dit boek en uitermate geschikt om te gebruiken tijdens het geven van voorlichting, instructie en advies in de tandartspraktijk om gedragsverandering teweeg te brengen. Het geven van voorlichting en advies wordt voor de tandartsassistent steeds belangrijker. Voorlichten lijkt op papier vrij simpel, in de praktijk is het nog niet zo eenvoudig. Iedere patiënt is anders en ieder probleem is anders. Met behulp van Voorlichting en advies in de tandartspraktijk kan de tandartsassistent uitleg en advies geven over bijvoorbeeld het voorkomen van tandheelkundige problemen, het bevorderen van mondgezondheid, mondzorgproducten, tandheelkundige voorzieningen en tandheelkundige behandelingen. Met behulp van casuïstiek worden situaties verduidelijkt. Rianne Schotsman en Nienke van Os zijn beiden mondhygiënist en docent. Zij hebben jarenlang samengewerkt aan de opleiding voor tandartsassistenten in Utrecht. Momenteel is Rianne Schotsman verbonden aan ROC Nijmegen als onderwijsadviseur Leven Lang Ontwikkelen (LLO). Nienke van Os is werkzaam als zelfstandig learning specialist en ontwerpt en ontwikkelt educatieve content en e-learnings voor onderwijsinstellingen en bedrijven.

Vortex Formation in the Cardiovascular System
by Arash Kheradvar Gianni PedrizzettiVortex Formation in the Cardiovascular System will recapitulate the current knowledge about the vortex formation in the cardiovascular system, from mechanics to cardiology. This can facilitate the interaction between basic scientists and clinicians on the topic of the circulatory system. The book begins with a synopsis of the fundamentals aspects of fluid mechanics to give the reader the essential background to address the proceeding chapters. Then the fundamental elements of vortex dynamics will be discussed, explaining the conditions for their formation and the rules governing their dynamics. The main equations are accompanied by mathematical models. Cardiovascular vortex formation is first analyzed in physiological, healthy conditions in the heart chambers and in the large arterial vessels. The analysis is initially presented with an intuitive appeal grounded on the physical phenomena and a focus on its clinical significance.In the proceeding chapters, the knowledge gained from either clinical or basic science literature will be discussed. The corresponding mathematical elements will finally be presented to ensure the adequate diligence. The proceeding chapters ensue to the analysis of pathological conditions, when the reader may have developed the ability to recognize normal from abnormal vortex formation phenomenon. Pathological vortex formation represents vortices that develop at sites where normally laminar flow should exist, e.g. stenosis and aneurisms. This analysis naturally leads to the interaction of vortices due to the surgical procedures with respect to prediction of changes in vortex formation. The existing techniques, from medical imaging to numerical simulations, to explore vortex flows in the cardiovascular systems will also be described. The presentations are accompanied by the mathematical definitions can that be understandable for reader without the advanced mathematical background, while an interested reader with more advanced knowledge in mathematics can be referred to references for further quantitative analyses. The book pursues the objective to transfer the fundamental vortex formation phenomena with application to the cardiovascular system to the reader. This book will be a valuable support for physicians in the evaluation of vortex influence on diagnosis and therapeutic choices. At the same time, the book will provide the rigorous information for research scientists, either from medicine and mechanics, working on the cardiovascular circulation incurring with the physics of vortex dynamics.
Voyeurism: A Case Study
by Simon DuffThis book is amongst the first of its kind in presenting a case study of voyeurism from a forensic psychology perspective and within the societal context. Simon Duff provides an in-depth description of the assessment, formulation, and treatment of a voyeur and offers a theoretical basis for the behaviour. The book begins by covering a variety of explanations and previous treatments for voyeurs, including learning theories and the aversive treatments that they give rise to. It then moves on to focus on one specific case study, a young man who has exhibited diversity in his voyeuristic offending, before examining relevant details of his experiences in order to develop a formulation of his thinking and behaviour. The formulation and resultant intervention are clearly and accessibly presented, followed by a discussion of how this case provides direction for further research, developments in our theoretical basis for understanding voyeurism, and directions for assessment and intervention.
Vrese van 'n jong moeder
by Dr Gilbert Adimora Adri De NeckerDie boek is geskryf vir jong ouers, veral die wat nog nie ervare is in die kuns van moederskap om te help om die angs te verlig wat die geboorte en die sorg van ‘n pasgebore baba volg totdat hulle een jaar oud is. Al lyk dit of die titel op moeders fokus, word vaders nie uitgesluit nie en met ook deur hierdie boek gaan omdat hulle ook betrokke is in die bekommernis en begeleidende slapelose nagte. Babas is veronderstel om ‘n gewensde geskenk van God te wees en ‘n bondel vreugte en geluk aan hulle ouers, maar dikwels is hierdie vreugde afgekap deur angs as gevolg van die tekort aan kennis, ‘ou vrou stories’,mites en kulturele gelowe wat dikwels nie baie akkuraat is nie, en stuur dan die jong ouers van plek tot plek in die soeke na oplossings. Snaaks genoeg, meeste bekommernisse is gewonlik ‘n normale proses wat moet gebeur soos wat die nuutgeborene aanpas by die lewe buite die baarmoeder. Party is klein probleempies wat opgelos kan word deur ‘n Pediater of ‘n goeie Huisdokter dikwels deur berading, en bring ‘n gewensde verligting en ‘n ontspanne omgewing in die huis. ‘n Reis na die verkeerde plek of die verkeerde raad van verkeerde mense, kan nie net permanent die kind beskadig nie , maar kan ook lei tot die ondergang van die pasgeborenne of baba met baie rou in die familie. Die feite in hierdie boek is saamgesit om hierdie jong ouers te help om die kennis te kry wat hulle nodig het om hulle pasgebore babas te kan hanteer, om angstigheid te verlig en om goeie gepasde maatreëls toe te pas wat sal help dat die babas ‘n gesonde begin geniet. Dit is ‘n resultaat van baie jare se oefening in kinder gesondheid in beide publieke en private hospital omgewings. Dit sal baie vrae antwoord wat deur jong moeders aan konsultasie pediaters,ander dokters,verpleegsters of ander gesondheids praktisyne gestel word, en soms kwaksalwers oor die sake wat hulle nie nodig het om oor bekommerd te wees nie of uitgesor
Vulnerabilities in Paid Care Work: Transnational Experiences, Insights and Voices
by Sophie Bowlby, Marjut Jyrkinen, Mandisa Malinga and Kathy SandersonThe need for paid care workers to provide professional, good quality care for those needing daily support continues to grow throughout the world. This book explores the recent experiences of diverse paid care workers in four very different national contexts – Finland, Canada, South Africa and England – to learn from their experiences during COVID-19 and its aftermath. Drawing on care workers’ own perspectives, this book shows how recruitment and retention of paid care workers remains challenging due to the pandemic and demographic changes, their precarious labour market position, low pay and the difficulties of delivering care.

Vulnerabilities: Rethinking Medicine Rights and Humanities in Post-pandemic (Integrated Science #18)
by Stefania Achella Chantal MaraziaDrawing from a wide array of disciplinary perspectives and geographical contexts, this volume offers new insights for critically engaging with the problem of vulnerability. The essays here contained take the move from the COVID-19 pandemic, in order to explore the inherent vulnerability of individuals, but also of social, economic and political systems, and probe the descriptive and prescriptive import of the concept.Each chapter provides a self-contained perspective on vulnerability, as well as a specific methodological framework for questioning its meaning. Taken together, the chapters combine into a multi-disciplinary toolkit for approaching the various forms and structures of vulnerability, with a special attention to the intersectional factors shaping the individual experience of it: from gender to age, from disability to mental illness, from hospitalisation to incarceration. The book explores the theoretical richness and complexity of the concept and proposes new analytical approaches to it, before illustrating its multifariousness through empirically grounded case studies. The closing section engages with “the future of vulnerability”, as a hermeneutic, epistemological, and critical-normative perspective to be deployed beyond the domain of global crises and emergencies.The volume is primarily intended as a reference for scholars in the human, social and health sciences. The accessible structure and plain language of the chapters make it also a valuable didactic resource for graduate courses in philosophy, the social sciences and public health.
Vulnerability Revisited: Leaving No One Behind in Research (SpringerBriefs in Research and Innovation Governance)
by Doris Schroeder Roger Chennells Kate Chatfield Hazel Partington Joshua Kimani Gillian Thomson Joyce Adhiambo Odhiambo Leana Snyders Collin LouwOpen access. This open-access book discusses vulnerability and the protection-inclusion dilemma of including those who suffer from serious poverty, severe stigma, and structural violence in research. Co-written with representatives from indigenous peoples in South Africa and sex workers in Nairobi, the authors come down firmly on the side of inclusion. In the spirit of leaving no one behind in research, the team experimented with data collection methods that prioritize research participant needs over researcher needs. This involved foregoing the collection of personal data and community researchers being involved in all stages of the research. In the process, the term ‘vulnerability’ was illuminated across significant language barriers as it was defined by indigenous peoples and sex workers themselves. The book describes a potential alternative to exclusion from research that moves away from traditional research methods. By ensuring that the research is led by vulnerable groups for vulnerable groups, it offers an approach that fosters trust and collaboration with benefits for the community researchers, the wider community as well as research academics. Those living in low-income settings, in dire situations that are summarized with the term ‘vulnerability’ know best what their problems are and which priorities they have. To exclude them from research for their own protection is a patronizing approach which insinuates that researchers and research ethics committees know best. The team from this book have shown that minimally risky and minimally burdensome research tailored towards the needs of highly marginalized and stigmatized communities can be scientifically valuable as well as inclusive and equitable. I congratulate them. Prof. Klaus Leisinger, President Global Values Alliance, Former personal advisor to Kofi Annan on corporate responsibility
Vulnerability to Depression
by Rick Ingram Ruth Ann AtchleyProviding a cutting-edge examination of the mechanisms underlying depression, this volume integrates important areas of research that have largely remained separate. The authors explore both the cognitive and neurological processes that make some people more vulnerable than others to developing depression and experiencing recurrent episodes. They also probe how these processes interact-how negative life experiences, maladaptive belief systems, and patterns of thinking may actually affect neural circuitry, and vice versa. Explaining sophisticated theory and research in an accessible style, the book highlights the implications for improving clinical practices and patient outcomes.
Vulnerability to Psychopathology, Second Edition: Risk across the Lifespan
by Joseph Price Rick IngramThis state-of-the-art work has been highly praised for bridging the divide between adult and developmental psychopathology. The volume illuminates the interplay of biological, cognitive, affective, and social-environmental factors that place individuals at risk for psychological disturbance throughout development. Childhood-onset and adult forms of major disorders are examined in paired chapters by prominent clinical researchers. An integrative third chapter on each disorder then summarizes what is known about continuity and change in vulnerability across the lifespan. Implications for assessment, treatment, and prevention are also considered.
Vulnerable Children
by Deborah J. Johnson Robert K. Hitchcock Debrenna Lafa AgbényigaThey are laborers, soldiers, refugees, and orphans. In areas of the world torn by poverty, disease, and war, millions of children are invisible victims, deprived of home, family, and basic human rights. Their chances for a stable adult life are extremely slim. The powerful interdisciplinary volume Vulnerable Children brings a global child-rights perspective to the lives of indigenous, refugee, and minority children in and from crisis-prone regions. Focusing on self-determination, education, security, health, and related issues, an international panel of scholars examines the structural and political sources of children's vulnerabilities and their effects on development. The book analyzes intervention programs currently in place and identifies challenges that must be met at both the community and larger policy levels. These chapters also go a long way to explain the often-blurred line between vulnerability and resilience. Included in the coverage: Dilemmas of rights-based approaches to child well-being in an African cultural context.Poverty and minority children's education in the U.S.: case study of a Sudanese refugee family.The heterogeneity of young children's experiences in Kenya and Brazil.A world tour of interventions for children of a parent with a psychiatric illness.An exploration of fosterage of Owambo orphans in Namibia.UNICEF in Colombia: defending and nurturing childhood in media, public, and policy discourses. Vulnerable Children is a must-have volume for researchers, graduate students, and clinicians/professionals/practitioners across a range of fields, including child and school psychology, social work, maternal and child health, developmental psychology, anthropology, sociology, social policy, and public health.

NickersonThe novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which causes the disease known as COVID-19, has infected people in 212 countries so far and on every continent except Antarctica. Vast changes to our home lives, social interactions, government functioning and relations between countries have swept the world in a few months and are difficult to hold in one’s mind at one time. That is why a collaborative effort such as this edited, multidisciplinary collection is needed. This book confronts the vulnerabilities and interconnectedness made visible by the pandemic and its consequences, along with the legal, ethical and policy responses. These include vulnerabilities for people who have been harmed or will be harmed by the virus directly and those harmed by measures taken to slow its relentless march; vulnerabilities exposed in our institutions, governance and legal structures; and vulnerabilities in other countries and at the global level where persistent injustices harm us all. Hopefully, COVID-19 will forces us to deeply reflect on how we govern and our policy priorities; to focus preparedness, precaution, and recovery to include all, not just some. Published in English with some chapters in French.
Vulval Dermatologic Diagnosis: Diagnosis by Clinical Presenting Sign
by Giuseppe Micali Pompeo Donofrio Maria Rita Nasca Stefano VeraldiRather than categorizing vulvar disorders by standard classifications such as neoplastic, inflammatory, or infective, this book describes the disorders by key presenting symptoms-such as erythema, bullae, plaques, cysts, or ulcers. This approach allows clinicians to quickly formulate a correct diagnosis. Vulval Dermatologic Diagnosis: Diagnosis by
Vulvar Disease: Breaking The Myths
by Jacob BornsteinThis book offers comprehensive information on modern approaches to vulvar lesions, taking into account recent management recommendations and employing the consensus terminology of the International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disease (ISSVD). Further, it breaks with past misconceptions and myths, and explains in detail the modern approach. The aim is to help clinicians perform the differential diagnosis of vulvar conditions and implement the new recommended treatments. <P><P> The core chapters of the book are arranged in accordance with lesion presentation: red lesions, white lesions, patches and plaques, papules and nodules, erosions and ulcers, blisters, etc. For each lesion, the multidisciplinary management is fully explained, including clarifications of the role of gynecologists, dermatologists, physical therapists, pain specialists, sex therapists, and others. Clinical case presentations and numerous illustrations of treatment procedures are included, supplemented by informative online videos. A separate chapter is devoted to vulvar pain, which is increasingly becoming recognized as a growing problem. Here, again the past approaches are replaced with new paradigms. All of the authors are acknowledged experts in the field and the editor is a past president of the ISSVD. The book will be of value for all vulvar specialists and a wide range of other clinicians.
Vulvar Pain
by Filippo Murina Alessandra GraziottinThis book offers detailed coverage of all aspects of vulvar pain in age groups from children to the elderly, with a particular focus on factors that precipitate or maintain the pain. Guidance is provided on diagnosis and treatment, and careful consideration is given to special circumstances associated with vulvar pain, including childbirth, recurrent cystitis, female genital mutilation, medical comorbidities, and sexual comorbidities in both partners. Vulvar pain of neurogenic and iatrogenic origin is also fully discussed. Two innovative chapters present case reports highly relevant to clinical practice and address outstanding issues, including controversies and difficulties in terminology, initial triggers, the role of stress, psychogenic causes, and misuse and abuse. The book is exceptional in covering vulvar pain throughout the human life span and in a wide range of situations, and it will be of value to all who are involved in management of the condition.
Vulvar Pathology
by Mai P. Hoang Maria Angelica SelimThis book details the histologic clues in diagnosing the inflammatory dermatoses and neoplastic process of the vulva. The inflammatory dermatoses are divided into histologic patterns to aid recognition. Expert authors provide updates on ancillary techniques such as special stains, immunohistochemistry and chromogenic in situ hybridization when applicable. New advances in classifying squamous lesions as well as staging melanocytic lesions are outlined. They include the recent CAP/ASCCP (College of American Pathologists and the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology) lower anogenital squamous terminology for HPV-associated lesions and the 2009 AJCC (American Joint Committee on Cancer) staging system for melanoma. New advances in molecular findings and potential targeted therapy are discussed for the squamous, melanocytic, adnexal and soft tissue tumors whenever it is pertinent. Vulvar Pathology will be a useful diagnostic guide for general pathologists, pathology trainees, dermatopathologists, dermatologists, and gynecologic pathologists in rendering diagnoses in vulvar inflammatory dermatoses as well as melanocytic, squamous, adnexal, and soft tissue neoplasms of the vulva.
