"Is it safe to live near power lines?" Unfortunately, physicians often lack the information and training related to environmental health risks needed to answer such questions. This book discusses six competency based learning objectives for all medical school students, discusses the relevance of environmental health to specific courses and clerkships, and demonstrates how to integrate environmental health into the curriculum through published case studies, some of which are included in one of the book's three appendices. Also included is a guide on where to obtain additional information for treatment, referral, and follow-up for diseases with possible environmental and/or occupational origins.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The potassium level of patients using diuretics, particularly the elderly, should be monitored (to detect either hypo- or hyperkalaemia).

If the patient has unexplained hypokalaemia remember renal diseases, subtle vomiting and bulimia as well as primary aldosteronism, i.e. Conn's syndrome. Consider magnesium deficiency as a cause of therapy-resistant hypokalaemia .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The doctor should not doubt the existence of the symptoms, their subjective severity or the degree of consequent functional impairment.

Book Synopsis Reducing Underage Drinking by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Reducing Underage Drinking written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-03-26 with total page 761 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alcohol use by young people is extremely dangerous - both to themselves and society at large. Underage alcohol use is associated with traffic fatalities, violence, unsafe sex, suicide, educational failure, and other problem behaviors that diminish the prospects of future success, as well as health risks â€" and the earlier teens start drinking, the greater the danger. Despite these serious concerns, the media continues to make drinking look attractive to youth, and it remains possible and even easy for teenagers to get access to alcohol. Why is this dangerous behavior so pervasive? What can be done to prevent it? What will work and who is responsible for making sure it happens? Reducing Underage Drinking addresses these questions and proposes a new way to combat underage alcohol use. It explores the ways in which may different individuals and groups contribute to the problem and how they can be enlisted to prevent it. Reducing Underage Drinking will serve as both a game plan and a call to arms for anyone with an investment in youth health and safety.

Book Synopsis Examining a patient with a thyroid complaint by : Sics Editore
Download or read book Examining a patient with a thyroid complaint written by Sics Editore and published by SICS Editore. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The assessment of thyroid function is primarily based on the symptoms, on clinical examination and on the measurement of serum TSH concentration. In hypothyroidism originating in the thyroid gland (primary hypothyroidism), the serum concentration of THS is increased, and in hyperthyroidism it is respectively decreased (in most cases not measurable). In rare hypothyroidism originating in the pituitary gland (central hypothyroidism) the serum TSH concentration is within or below the reference range and free T4 (FT4) concentration is below the reference range. Central hyperthyroidism is very rare. In this condition, TSH concentration is within or above the reference range and FT4 concentration is increased. TSH concentration is interpreted differently in patients on thyroxine replacement therapy than in diagnostics of thyroid disorders: patients on replacement therapy usually feel the best when TSH concentration is approximately 1–2 mU/l and FT4 concentration is near the upper threshold of the reference range. See also .The treatment of patients with thyroid cancer is individually tailored in specialized care. The target level of THS concentration is within or below the reference range. See also .
Book Synopsis Aortic aneurysm and dissection by : Sics Editore
Download or read book Aortic aneurysm and dissection written by Sics Editore and published by SICS Editore. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An aortic aneurysm should be diagnosed before it ruptures; nearly all aneurysms can be treated surgically. An aneurysm found incidentally or through screening should be monitored until it reaches a size where the benefit of a surgical repair outweighs the operational risk. The risk of rupture is small in aneurysms < 5 cm in diameter. It is easy for a primary care physician to learn the diagnosis of an abdominal aortic aneurysm with ultrasonography. The possibility of aortic dissection must be considered in a patient with severe pain suggestive of acute myocardial infarction but without clear ECG changes. A patient with a ruptured aneurysm or aortic dissection needs immediate hospitalization.
Book Synopsis Hyponatraemia and hypernatraemia by : Sics Editore
Download or read book Hyponatraemia and hypernatraemia written by Sics Editore and published by SICS Editore. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In hyponatraemia, the concentration of sodium in the plasma decreases to below 135 mmol/l, and the condition is considered severe when the concentration falls below 120 mmol/l. The plasma sodium concentration should be checked from all acutely ill patients. It is important to differentiate between acute, clearly symptomatic hyponatraemia that has developed rapidly (< 48 hours) and chronic hyponatraemia that has developed slowly over several days, weeks or even months. The manifestations of acute hyponatraemia are progressive central nervous system symptoms (confusion, seizures, unconsciousness), whereas the symptoms of chronic hyponatraemia can be very slight and more generalised (e.g. lethargy, falls, gait disturbances, impairment of attention). The urgency of treatment is always determined by the patient’s symptoms as well as the degree and duration of hyponatraemia. Prevent hypernatraemia by adequate fluid therapy in patients with fluid loss. Avoid too rapid rehydration.Ensure that fluid intake (at least 1.5–2 l/day) is monitored in elderly patients with inadequate thirst control, especially if they have fever and during hot weather.
