Book Synopsis Advocacy in Neurology by : Wolfgang Grisold
Download or read book Advocacy in Neurology written by Wolfgang Grisold and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-07 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advocacy is a broad term that covers activities aimed at increasing attention, awareness, information, nursing, treatment, and support to improve the outcome of patients. These actions can be focused directly towards patients or indirectly via third parties. Although advocacy is present in all medical specialties, neurology in particular finds itself in need of strong advocacy tools as the diagnosis, treatment, long-term care and associated resource, and social issues have become increasingly complex. While some physicians implicitly or explicitly act as advocates, there is a lack of holistic research in order to clarify the meaning of advocacy along with concrete methods and strategies. Advocacy in Neurology provides an integrated approach to the concept of advocacy in neurology. Structured in five sections, the book begins by explaining the term "advocacy" in general before elaborating on the areas of interest within neurology. The text goes on to offer concrete strategies and tools for clinicians to deploy advocacy in their daily work, and then discusses specific neurological diseases to point out and explain where advocacy is, or could be, beneficial. The book ends with an outlook, presentation of results, and an ending conclusion. Advocacy in Neurology offers a practical perspective on advocacy activities in neurology, aiming to show when and why they are important for neurology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What will it take to get an entire generation to care about the well-being of their brains? Be a Neuro-Advocate is all about the cultural and historical shift of how our society has come to understand and interact with the human brain. In it, author Melody Chang focuses on framing research, medicine, and diseases in a relevant and relatable way to directly reach those who inaccurately assume brain health has no relevance to them. Be a Neuro-Advocate sparks conversation and curiosity by introducing new technology, therapeutics, and novel ideas for brain health advocacy. It also highlights stories such as: Communicating published research surrounding brain health, with ideas backed-up from world-renown researchers and physicians, and relating these directly back to how we can take ownership of our brain health Incorporating the journeys of individuals who have undergone brain injuries or diseases with how they have overcome adversities and made a lasting impact in the realm of health advocacy Highlighting methods that we can become further involved in individual or large-scale change within the brain health movement Be a Neuro-Advocate is for anyone who is curious about brain health and the up-and-coming research about brain diseases and neuroscience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Neurology is a quantitively small corner of medicine that, increasingly, occupies a position of outsized importance and distinction in both the practice of medicine and in the health and well-being of society. The Decade of the Brain came into public awareness in 1990 as an initiative of president George W. Bush involving the NIH and NIMH "to enhance public awareness of the benefits to be derived from brain research"(1). In the intervening 20 years since 1999, we have seen significant increases in understanding the myriad of neurological diseases that confront society"--

Neurology at the Bedside aims to provide readers with a personal clinical mentor. It takes them by the hand and guides them through the whole patient encounter from the history to the treatment, at each step pointing out what is essential and what is not.

Book Synopsis Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (Volume 4) by : Vikram Patel
Download or read book Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (Volume 4) written by Vikram Patel and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental, neurological, and substance use disorders are common, highly disabling, and associated with significant premature mortality. The impact of these disorders on the social and economic well-being of individuals, families, and societies is large, growing, and underestimated. Despite this burden, these disorders have been systematically neglected, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, with pitifully small contributions to scaling up cost-effective prevention and treatment strategies. Systematically compiling the substantial existing knowledge to address this inequity is the central goal of this volume. This evidence-base can help policy makers in resource-constrained settings as they prioritize programs and interventions to address these disorders.

Book Synopsis Handbook of Headache by : Paolo Martelletti
Download or read book Handbook of Headache written by Paolo Martelletti and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-08-14 with total page 787 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Headache disorders are among the most common disorders of the nervous system. They are pandemic and, in many cases, they are recurrent and can accompany the patient for the whole life. These disorders impose a substantial burden on headache sufferers, on their families and on society: the individual impact is measured by the frequency and severity of attacks, while the societal burden is measured in terms of loss of activity at work and school as well as of costs for the health system. As a matter of facts, headaches are ranked in the top ten, and maybe the top five, causes of disability worldwide: they are therefore extraordinarily common. Population-based studies have mostly focused on migraine, which, even if it is the most frequently studied headache disorder, is not the most common . Other types of headache, such as the more prevalent TTH and sub-types of the more disabling chronic daily headache, have so far received less attention and need to be better investigated. This book will provide a useful tool to a wide medical population, who is required specific skills to diagnose and manage these frequent and often disabling disorders .Furthermore, it could also represents a compendium for medical students who are usually introduced to this topic through multidisciplinary university programmes.
