This book was released on 2019-02-07 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In people with South Asian ancestry, the cardiovascular diseases of stroke and coronary heart disease (CVD) are epidemic, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) is pandemic. As South Asians comprise about 25% of the world's population their high susceptibility is of global public health and clinical importance. Eluding researchers across the globe, this phenomenon continues to be a subject of intensive enquiry. As Ban Ki-moon, the United Nations Secretary-General, points out, the epidemics of chronic diseases, which he describes as a public health emergency in slow motion, can be restrained but not stopped. With a focus on the global South Asian population, Epidemic of Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes: Explaining the Phenomenon in South Asians Worldwide is a critical review of current literature investigating the increase in cases of CVD and DM2, and the data underpinning them. The book argues that the high risk of CVD and DM2 in urbanised South Asians is not inevitable, genetic, or programmed in a fixed way. Rather, exposure to risk factors in childhood, adolescence, and most particularly in adulthood, is the key to unravelling its cause. Drawing on current scientific literature and discussions with 22 international scholars, the book presents a unique synthesis of theory, research, and public health practice under one cover - from tissue research to human intervention trials. It also addresses the challenge many health professionals face in developing countries: to produce focused, low cost and effective actions for combating CVD and DM2. The lessons contained within will have ramifications in healthcare across the globe Epidemic of Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes: Explaining the Phenomenon in South Asians Worldwide is ideal for scholars, researchers and health practitioners working towards understanding and preventing the epidemics of these modern chronic diseases across the world.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION: South Asians are a rapidly growing segment of the U.S. population. Despite improvements in the care of coronary artery disease over the last half century, the prevalence remains disproportionately high in this population. Much of this is felt to due to the early acquisition and high prevalence of lifestyle related risk factors. To appropriately address these risk factors, we must understand the culture barriers that make it difficult for South Asians to modify these behaviors. Individuals from Bangladesh comprise a South Asian sub-ethnic group that has the highest prevalence of CVD risk factors and the highest rates of mortality from CVD. To address lifestyle behavior modification in this population, we must first understand their perceptions regarding illness and cardiovascular disease. MANUSCRIPT I - Barriers to Lifestyle Behavioral Change in Migrant South Asian Populations. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this literature review is to describe and assess the cultural barriers to behavior change in migrant South Asians, given the high morbidity and mortality associated with cardiovascular disease in this population. DESIGN: We reviewed studies that explored the relationship between South Asian culture in the Diaspora and lifestyle behaviors. RESULTS: Our review produced 91 studies, of which 25 discussed the relationship between various aspects of South Asians' belief system and their approach to modifying lifestyle habits. We identify 6 specific categories of beliefs which play the largest role in the difficulties South Asians describe with behavior change: gender roles, body image, physical activity misconceptions, cultural priorities, cultural identity, and explanatory model of disease. DISCUSSION: Cultural beliefs and practices play a substantial role in South Asians' approach to diet and exercise modification. Future research and interventions should account for these cultural factors to successfully improve dietary habits and physical activity levels in migrant South Asian populations. MANUSCRIPT 2 - Attitudes and Beliefs regarding Cardiovascular Risk Factors among Bangladeshi Immigrants in the U.S. OBJECTIVE: To apply Kleinman's Explanatory Model of Disease as a framework to elicit perspectives on cardiovascular disease in order to address behavior change among a cohort of Bangladeshi immigrants. DESIGN: This was a qualitative study using individual in-depth interviews to explore attitudes towards and difficulties with modifying CVD related behaviors. Interviews were audio-taped, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed by using grounded theory. RESULTS: We interviewed 55 patients before reaching data saturation. Patients' responses to the meaning of heart disease were grouped into 3 categories: 1) fear of consequences of heart disease; 2) symptoms of heart disease; 3) causes of heart disease. When specifically asked d about what they felt caused heart disease, responses fell into 2 categories: 1) behavioral causes; 2) psychological causes. When asked to discuss the difficulties in addressing the causes of heart disease, responses fell into 2 categories: 1) internal forces such as self motivation; 2) external forces such as lack of time due to work and family responsibilities and stress. Patients were able to discuss the behavioral causes of CVD, but felt that either they themselves or others in their community lacked the time needed, due to socioeconomic reasons, to address these causes. DISCUSSION: Bangladeshi patients in our study are aware and scared of CVD, but feel unable to address behavioral risk factors. They cite a combination of internal and external factors as barriers to lifestyle modification in their community. Interventions to address these barriers must account for these factors, simultaneously addressing self-efficacy and work-life balance. OVERALL CONCLUSION: Cultural beliefs influence South Asian's approach to behavior modification and their attitudes regarding illness. Interventions need to address a community's attitudes and cultural beliefs towards illness to be successful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In State of the Heart, Dr. Haider Warraich takes readers inside the ER, inside patients' rooms, and inside the history and science of cardiac disease. State of the Heart traces the entire arc of the heart, from the very first time it was depicted on stone tablets, to a future in which it may very well become redundant. While heart disease has been around for a while, the type of heart disease people have, why they have it, and how it’s treated is changing. Yet, the golden age of heart science is only just beginning. And with treatments of heart disease altering the very definitions of human life and death, there is no better time to look at the present and future of heart disease, the doctors and nurses who treat it, the patients and caregivers who live with it, and the stories they hold close to their chests. More people die of heart disease than any other disease in the world and when any form of heart disease progresses, it can result in the development of heart failure. Heart failure affects millions and can affect anyone at anytime, a child recovering from a viral infection, a woman who has just given birth or a cancer patient receiving chemotherapy. Yet new technology to treat heart failure is fundamentally changing just what it means to be human. Mechanical pumps can be surgically sown into patients’ hearts and when patients with these pumps get really sick, sometimes they don’t need a doctor or a surgeon—they need a mechanic. In State of the Heart, the journey to rid the world of heart disease is shown to be reflective of the journey of medical science at large. We are learning not only that women have as much heart disease as men, but that the type of heart disease women experience is diametrically different from that in men. We are learning that heart disease and cancer may have more in common than we could have imagined. And we are learning how human evolution itself may have led to the epidemic of heart disease. In understanding how our knowledge of the heart evolved, State of the Heart traces the twisting and turning road that science has taken—filled with potholes and blind turns—all the way back to its very origin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coronary artery disease or CAD is the end result of the process of accumulation of atheromatous plaques within the walls of the arteries supplying the myocardium. Atherosclerosis is a chronic systemic disease process, affecting all the vascular beds in body and many factors responsible for its evolution have been identified. A rising incidence of this disease among people of Indian origin and an emerging role of genetic factors leading to atherosclerosis necessitates modifications in ourstrategies to handle it. The importance of the risk factors in causation of the disease need to be emphasized even more and masses need to be educated about the role of lifestyle modifications in its management. Further, early detection of preclinical or sub-clinical disease would add another dimension to the overall preventive strategy for this condition. This book is designed to update the readers on the evergrowing list of risk factors for CAD and the increasing significance of lifestyle modifications in prevention of the disease. Besides these, the therapeutic approach towards this chronic disease and methods of early detection has also been discussed. Typical supportive case scenarios are also included to exemplify and highlight the various points discussed. Thus, it provides an excellent opportunity to widen one’s perspective in this area.

This book was released on 2017-09-28 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug overdose, driven largely by overdose related to the use of opioids, is now the leading cause of unintentional injury death in the United States. The ongoing opioid crisis lies at the intersection of two public health challenges: reducing the burden of suffering from pain and containing the rising toll of the harms that can arise from the use of opioid medications. Chronic pain and opioid use disorder both represent complex human conditions affecting millions of Americans and causing untold disability and loss of function. In the context of the growing opioid problem, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched an Opioids Action Plan in early 2016. As part of this plan, the FDA asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene a committee to update the state of the science on pain research, care, and education and to identify actions the FDA and others can take to respond to the opioid epidemic, with a particular focus on informing FDA's development of a formal method for incorporating individual and societal considerations into its risk-benefit framework for opioid approval and monitoring.
