This book was released on 2023-08-17 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military Medicine Super High Altitude: Medical Impact on Soldiers The Indian Armed Forces have braved the Coldest Wars in the Himalayas since independence in a harsh but invisible environment experienced on the ground. Regimental medical officers follow the soldiers for their welfare and medical needs. This book highlights the glacier-high-altitude disease that impacts the health of our soldiers. Very little is known of military life on the snow-capped Himalayan mountains. New dimensions, critical care, vascular cold injuries, environmental medicine, and vascular thrombosis have been researched to benefit the future deployment of soldiers at forward glaciers and high altitudes beyond 16,000 ft-ASL Troops are deployed at the Karakoram ranges, at highly glaciated regions, on the highest battlefield, where soldiers deal with subhuman survival conditions, yet soldier on for the nation. Troops are deployed in non-habitable non-hospitable glaciated areas that are considered impossible for human activity. Impossible became possible with the Indian Armed Forces’ occupation and control of the Siachen Glacier in 1984- the highest, coldest battlefield in the world. Foot soldiers, engineers, gunners, airforce pilots, and medical professionals have proved their professionalism, grit, and bravery to the nation. Those who have climbed the glacier-high-altitude, whether a general officer or a sepoy, have experiences to narrate to benefit the army and the common man. These experiences are a rich source of research to benefit the soldiers. The book is mandatory for military or adventure professionals, the curriculum training of military centres, training institutions, and medical colleges. This is a unique book on terrain, high-altitude, military, operational, and medical challenges. Gen. VP Malik, PVSM, AUSM Geostrategically Siachen Glacier is virtually the roof of Eurasia and is surrounded by Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, Afghanistan, USSR, China, and Tibet. Troops are fighting this battle on two fronts, the enemy and the non-enemy front. Air Marshal MS Boparai Adverse extreme weather and high-altitude effects are not taught in the standard textbooks of medical curriculum………. Medical officers have to self-experience the strategy of Casualties management. Brig. K Suresh Murty Do not be a Gama (name of a famous wrestler) in the lands of Lamas (a reference to the Himalayas) Liet. Gen. PJS Pannu Awareness, Alttute, Attitude, Achieving treatment and affection are the matras of medical care at Glacier. Liet. Gen. NK Parmar Hypoxia triggered hyper-coagulation leading to venous thrombosis at high altitudes. Screening at sea level will determine the predisposition of individuals to high altitude. Vitamins B-12, B-6 and folic acid are effective methods for reducing thrombotic events. Lieut. Gen. Velu Nair

This book was released on 1999-08-04 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The activities of the Food and Nutrition Board's Committee on Military Nutrition Research (CMNR, the committee) have been supported since 1994 by grant DAMD17-94-J-4046 from the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC). This report fulfills the final reporting requirement of the grant, and presents a summary of activities for the grant period from December 1, 1994 through May 31, 1999. During this grant period, the CMNR has met from three to six times each year in response to issues that are brought to the committee through the Military Nutrition and Biochemistry Division of the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine at Natick, Massachusetts, and the Military Operational Medicine Program of USAMRMC at Fort Detrick, Maryland. The CMNR has submitted five workshop reports (plus two preliminary reports), including one that is a joint project with the Subcommittee on Body Composition, Nutrition, and Health of Military Women; three letter reports, and one brief report, all with recommendations, to the Commander, U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, since September 1995 and has a brief report currently in preparation. These reports are summarized in the following activity report with synopses of additional topics for which reports were deferred pending completion of military research in progress. This activity report includes as appendixes the conclusions and recommendations from the nine reports and has been prepared in a fashion to allow rapid access to committee recommendations on the topics covered over the time period.

Download or read book Hormonal Regulation of Fluid and Electrolytes written by John R. Claybaugh and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of this book has developed over the past fi fteen years as interest in the water and electrolyte disturbances associated with most environmental settings moved from a research area of descriptive discovery to one dealing with the mechanisms responsible for the previously observed disturbances. Most of the contributing authors have been involved in both aspects of this evolution of research, focusing on those problems associated with body fluid and electrolyte balance and searching for hormonal explanations. What did not accompany this transition, however, was a source of information encompassing the area of interest. Instead, the previous format of environmentally focused symposia, reviews, and books continued to be the only sources available. For instance, various books deal with the physiology of high altitude, space, or exercise but do not necessarily provide adequate coverage of water and electrolyte disturbances. To our knowledge, the format of this book is unique. We have made the central focus water and electrolyte physiology with an emphasis on endocrinology and tried to comprehensively cover this area of physiology in some of the more heavily studied environments. This book too, then, will have its limitations in coverage. For instance, in-depth coverage of the respiratory and cardiovascular responses to the high altitude en vironment will not be found, but since these areas are so integrally associated with water and electrolyte regulation they are not ignored.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Since its earliest days, flight has been about pushing the limits of technology and, in many cases, pushing the limits of human endurance. The human body can be the limiting factor in the design of aircraft and spacecraft. Humans cannot survive unaided at high altitudes. There have been a number of books written on the subject of spacesuits, but the literature on the high-altitude pressure suits is lacking. This volume provides a high-level summary of the technological development and operational use of partial- and full-pressure suits, from the earliest models to the current high altitude, full-pressure suits used for modern aviation, as well as those that were used for launch and entry on the Space Shuttle. The goal of this work is to provide a resource on the technology for suits designed to keep humans alive at the edge of space."--NTRS Web site.

Download or read book The Rational Clinical Examination: Evidence-Based Clinical Diagnosis written by David L. Simel and published by McGraw Hill Professional. This book was released on 2008-04-30 with total page 940 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ultimate guide to the evidence-based clinical encounter "This book is an excellent source of supported evidence that provides useful and clinically relevant information for the busy practitioner, student, resident, or educator who wants to hone skills of physical diagnosis. It provides a tool to improve patient care by using the history and physical examination items that have the most reliability and efficiency."--Annals of Internal Medicine "The evidence-based examination techniques put forth by Rational Clinical Examination is the sort that can be brought to bear on a daily basis – to save time, increase confidence in medical decisions, and help decrease unnecessary testing for conditions that do not require absolute diagnostic certainty. In the end, the whole of this book is greater than its parts and can serve as a worthy companion to a traditional manual of physical examination."--Baylor University Medical Center (BUMC)Proceedings 5 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW! "Physical diagnosis has been taught to every medical student but this evidence-based approach now shows us why, presenting one of medicine's most basic tenets in a new and challenging light. The format is extraordinary, taking previously published material and updating the pertinent evidence since the initial publication, affirming or questioning or refining the conclusions drawn from the data. "This is a book for everyone who has studied medicine and found themselves doubting what they have been taught over the years, not that they have been deluded, but that medical traditions have been unquestionably believed because there was no evidence to believe otherwise. The authors have uncovered the truth. "This extraordinary, one-of-a-kind book is a valuable addition to every medical library."--Doody's Review Service Completely updated with new literature analyses, here is a uniquely practical, clinically relevant approach to the use of evidence in the content of physical examination. Going far beyond the scope of traditional physical examination texts, this invaluable resource compiles and presents the evidence-based meanings of signs, symptoms, and results from physical examination maneuvers and other diagnostic studies. Page after page, you'll find a focus on actual clinical questions and presentations, making it an incomparably practical resource that you'll turn to again and again. Importantly, the high-yield content of The Rational Clinical Examination is significantly expanded and updated from the original JAMA articles, much of it published here for the first time. It all adds up to a definitive, ready-to-use clinical exam sourcebook that no student or clinician should be without. FEATURES Packed with updated, new, and previously unpublished information from the original JAMA articles Standardized template for every issue covered, including: Case Presentation; Why the Issue Is Clinically Important; Research and Statistical Methods Used to Find the Evidence Presented; The Sensitivity and Specificity of Each Key Result; Resolution of the Case Presentation; and the Clinical Bottom Line Completely updated with all-new literature searches and appraisals supplementing each chapter Full-color format with dynamic clinical illustrations and images Real-world focus on a specific clinical question in each chapter, reflecting the way clinicians approach the practice of evidence-based medicine More than 50 complete chapters on common and challenging clinical questions and patient presentations Also available: JAMAevidence.com, a new interactive database for the best practice of evidence based medicine

Download or read book Use of Dietary Supplements by Military Personnel written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-10-31 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dietary supplements are widely available through a rapidly expanding market of products commonly advertised as beneficial for health, performance enhancement, and disease prevention. Given the importance and frequent evaluation of physical performance and health as a criteria to join and remain in the military, the use of these products by military personnel has raised concern regarding over-all and long-term efficacy and safety. This evaluation is especially difficult, as many of these supplements contain multiple ingredients, have a changing composition over time, or are used intermittently at doses difficult to measure. This book analyzes the patterns of dietary supplement use among military personnel, examines published reviews of the scientific evidence, and identifies those dietary supplements that are beneficial and/or warrant concern due to risks to health or performance. The book also recommends a system to monitor adverse health effects and a framework to identify the need for active management of dietary supplements by military personnel. Military policy makers, personnel, and recruits will find this book useful, as will nutritionists, athletes, and others working in strenuous environments.
