This book was released on 2014-05-07 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research brief examines chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) in Sri Lanka. A new and growing public health challenge that has emerged in Sri Lanka, CKDu is epidemic in selected geographic areas of the country, primarily in its central and eastern dry zones. CKDu is not attributed to diabetes, hypertension, or other factors commonly associated with chronic kidney disease. A number of risk factors point to environmental triggers for the onset of CKDu, but evidence so far is insufficient to accurately pinpoint the potential cause or causes. Small studies conducted to date attempt to associate CKDu with agrochemicals, ayurvedic (traditional) medicines, water quality, or other environmental or lifestyle factors. This complex emerging health crisis requires an interdisciplinary approach, following strict field protocols and a rigorous environmental health risk assessment framework. Research and analysis to better understand CKDu are important for Sri Lanka and have global implications for understanding of similar geographic CKDu “hot spots” in Central America, Eastern Europe, and South Asia.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to the conventional definition of CKD that is observed in developed countries, studies on CKD in developing countries demonstrate an atypical presentation of the disease, referenced as CKD of unknown origin (CKDu). CKD rates have been exponentially increasing in Nicaragua, particularly in sugarcane workers. This study assesses risk factors associated with this atypical presentation of CKD in patients from an occupational health clinic in rural Nicaragua.This was a cross-sectional study that included 512 patient records (2009 to 2014). Records were randomly selected and transcribed into an electronic database. The data was analyzed with a case-control perspective comparing patients with CKD from those without the disease. A logistic regression analysis was performed in order to examine the personal and occupational risks associated with CKD.Results of this study showed that patients with CKD were predominantly men, approximately ten years younger than patients without CKD, more commonly worked in agriculture, and had a lower prevalence of diabetes and hypertension. Regarding records of past medical history, there was poor agreement between physicians and patients. Moreover, the logistic regression model demonstrated that agricultural work has a 24-fold increase in the risk of CKD, which is not confounded by known risk factors for CKD.In conclusion, this study further characterizes the atypical presentation of CKD in Nicaragua. This study uniquely focuses on a specific population of workers that has not been previously studied. It also examines the association between particular occupational hazards and CKD, thus, furthering the understanding of CKD in Nicaragua.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was Western medicine a positive benefit of colonialism or one of its agents of oppression? This question has prompted a vigorous historical and political debate and is explored here in the context of the 'model' British colony of Ceylon. In this study, Margaret Jones emphasises the need for both a broad perspective and a more complex analysis. Colonial medicine is critiqued not merelyu in the political and economic context of imperialism but also against the background of human needs and rights. Her research is underscored by a detailed analysis of public health measures and services in Ceylon. One of its key findings is the accommodation achieved between Western and indigenous medicine. Throughout this work, Jones provides nuanced readings of the categories of colonised and coloniser, as well as the concept of colonial medicine. Health Policy in Britain's Model Colony provides an understanding of historical trends while simultaneously avoiding generalisations that subsume events and actions. Written in a compelling and lucid style, it is a path-breaking contribution to the history of medicine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive overview of the role space is playing in unlocking Latin America’s developmental aspirations. It explains how space and its applications can be used to support the development of the full range and diversity of Latin American societies, while being driven by Latin American goals. The Latin American space sector is currently undergoing a phase of rapid and dynamic expansion, with new actors entering the field and with space applications increasingly used to support the continent’s social, economic, and political development. All across Latin America, attention is shifting to space as a fundamental part of the continental development agenda, and the creation of a Latin American space agency is evidence of this. Additionally, while in recent years, great advances in economic and social development have lifted many of Latin America’s people out of poverty, there is still much that needs to be done to fulfill the basic needs of the population and to afford them the dignity they deserve. To this end, space is already being employed in diverse fields of human endeavor to serve Latin America’s goals for its future, but there is still a need for further incorporation of space systems and data. The book is of great interest to researchers, professionals and students in fields such as Space Studies, International Relations, Governance, Social and Rural Development, and many others.

Download or read book Leptospirosis and the Kidney written by Chih-Wei Yang and published by S. Karger AG (Switzerland). This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leptospirosis is the most common zoonotic disease worldwide, involving at least 1 million patients annually. Kidney is the preferential colonization site where Leptospira accumulates during systemic infection, primarily in the interstitium and in renal tubule epithelial cells. In acute kidney injury (AKI), the main histological findings are acute tubulo-interstitial nephritis and acute tubular necrosis, characterized by hypokalemia and non-oliguria. The injury caused by leptospira outer membrane protein components involves innate immunity Toll-like receptor pathways and activation of complement and immune cascades in the kidney, together with extracellular matrix accumulation when the kidney infection progress to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Significantly, recent studies indicate that leptospira may induce CKD in humans either with AKI-CKD continuum or subclinical leptospira infection leading to CKD. Leptospirosis kidney disease thus represents a newly discovered and previously overlooked area requiring intensive medical and public health attention and investigation. In this book, leading experts in the field contribute their cutting-edge clinical and research experiences for the understanding of leptospirosis kidney disease. The outstanding feature of this publication is emphasizing kidney injury and disease induced by leptospirosis, an underestimated infection involving multiple organs. The book contributes information on current knowledge of leptospirosis kidney disease and a new perspective for future research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book systemically presents the latest research on renal fibrosis, covering all the major topics in the field, including the possible mechanisms, biomarkers, and strategies for prevention and treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Due to its high prevalence, CKD represents a huge global economic and social burden. Irrespective of the initial causes, CKD progresses to end stage kidney disease (ESKD) due to renal fibrosis, which is characterized by glomerulosclerosis, tubule atrophy and atresia, and the excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) in the kidney. Unfortunately, an estimated 1%-2% of the adult population living with CKD will need renal replacement therapy at some point as a result of ESKD. As such, strategies for preventing or slowing CKD progression to ESKD are of utmost importance, and studies aiming to understand the mechanisms of renal fibrosis have been the focus of intensive research. Recently, novel insights into the pathophysiological processes have furthered our understanding of the pathogenesis of renal fibrosis, and more importantly, promoted studies on the early diagnosis and treatment of CKD. This book draws lessons from the extensive, state-of-the-art research in this field, elaborating the new theories and new techniques to offer readers a detailed and comprehensive understanding of renal fibrosis and as well as inspiration for future research directions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known worldwide, chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a disease that affects up to 4% of the population with increasing figures also in the developing countries. Life expectancy of patients affected by CKD is shortened compared to the overall population, and only a minority of patients reach end-stage renal disease (ESRD) with the need for dialysis or renal transplantation; death overtakes dialysis. In the 13 chapters, this book sheds light on the different aspects related to pathophysiology and clinical aspects of CKD, providing interesting insights into not only inflammation and cardiovascular risk but also the interplay of hormones and the functional aspects of endothelial function. In addition, chapters dealing with genetic aspects of polycystic kidney disease and also the clinical handling of patients with CKD and peritoneal dialysis will be beneficial for the open-minded reader.
