Book Synopsis Substance Use and Abuse by : Russil Durrant
Download or read book Substance Use and Abuse written by Russil Durrant and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2003-04-07 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book takes an integrative approach to the understanding of drug use and its relationship to social-cultural factors. It is lucidly and powerfully argued and constitutes a significant achievement. The authors sensibly argue that in order to fully understand and explain drug use and abuse it is necessary to take into account different levels of analysis, reflecting distinct domains of human functioning; the biological, psychosocial, and cultural-historical....Overall, this book represents an exceptional achievement and should be of interest to drug clinicians and researcher as well as social scientists and students." --Professor Tony Ward, University of Melbourne Substance use and abuse are two of the most frequent psychological problems clinicians encounter. Mainstream approaches focus on the biological and psychological factors supporting drug abuse. But to fully comprehend the issue, clinicians need to consider the social, historical, and cultural factors responsible for drug-related problems. Substance Use and Abuse: Cultural and Historical Perspectives provides an inclusive explanation of the human desire to take drugs. Using a multidisciplinary framework, authors Russil Durrant and Jo Thakker explore the cultural and historical variables that contribute to drug use. Integrating biological, psychosocial, and cultural-historical perspectives, this innovative and accessible volume addresses the fundamental question of why drug use is such a ubiquitous feature of human society. provides an inclusive explanation of the human desire to take drugs.

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).

This book was released on 1995-05-12 with total page 988 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People are increasingly concerned about potential environmental health hazards and often ask their physicians questions such as: "Is the tap water safe to drink?" "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.

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 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 .
