Book excerpt: Though overall cancer incidence and mortality have continued to decline in recent years, cancer continues to devastate the lives of far too many Americans. In 2009 alone, 1.5 million American men, women, and children were diagnosed with cancer, and 562,000 died from the disease. There is a growing body of evidence linking environmental exposures to cancer. The Pres. Cancer Panel dedicated its 2008¿2009 activities to examining the impact of environmental factors on cancer risk. The Panel considered industrial, occupational, and agricultural exposures as well as exposures related to medical practice, military activities, modern lifestyles, and natural sources. This report presents the Panel¿s recommend. to mitigate or eliminate these barriers. Illus.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of Immigrant Health written by Sana Loue and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-06-20 with total page 1553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is increasing interest in the scientific literature on immigrant health and its impact on disease transmission, disease prevention, health promotion, well-being on an individual and population level, health policy, and the cost of managing all these issues on an individual, institutional, national, and global level. The need for accurate and up-to-date information is particularly acute due to the increasing numbers of immigrants and refugees worldwide as the result of natural disasters, political turmoil, the growing numbers of immigrants to magnet countries, and the increasing costs of associated health care that are being felt by governments around the world. Format and Scope: The first portion of the encyclopedia contains chapters that are approximately 25 to 40 manuscript pages in length. Each overview chapter includes a list of references and suggested readings for cross referencing within the encyclopedia. The opening chapters are: Immigration in the Global Context, Immigration Processes and Health in the U.S.: A Brief History, Alternative and Complementary Medicine, Culture-Specific Diagnoses, Health Determinants, Occupational and Environmental Health, Methodological Issues in Immigrant Health Research, Ethical Issues in Research with Immigrants and Refugees, Ethical Issues in the Clinical Context. The second portion of the book consists of alphabetical entries that relate to the health of immigrants. Entries are interdisciplinary and are drawn from the following fields of study: anthropology, demographics, history, law, linguistics, medicine, population studies, psychology, religion, and sociology. Each entry is followed by a listing of suggested readings and suggested resources, and also links to related terms within the whole book. Outstanding Features The book adopts a biopsychosocial-historical approach to the topics covered in the chapters and the entries. Each entry includes suggested readings and suggested resources. The chapters and entries are written graduate level that is accessible to all academics, researchers, and professionals from diverse backgrounds. We consider the audience for the entries to be well educated, but a non expert in this area. The primary focus of the book is on the immigrant populations in and immigration to magnet countries. References are made to worldwide trends and issues arising globally. In addition to the comprehensive subject coverage the text also offers diverse perspectives. The editors themselves reflect the multidisciplinary nature of the topics, with expertise in psychiatry, law, epidemiology, anthropology, and social work. Authors similarly reflect diverse disciplines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book entitled Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology is the third successful book of the editor with InTech publishers. This book serves the purpose of providing, valuable and valid, innovative ideas/suggestions for utilizations of the "resource-rich/resource-intensive" colposcopy and cervical pathology technology in a "cost-/resource-effective" way by the health providers and planners, especially in "resource-limited/resource-poor settings." Transfer of technology from high- to low-resource settings in all the programs of preventive/community oncology services, across the world, is highly recommended and strongly advocated. The authors have well contributed to the goal of advanced science being made accessible for the benefit of common man. The InTech publishers have the distinct honor of imbibing the in-depth knowledge and vast experiences from experts of international repute and infusing it to the health providers and planners of developing countries, so that the communities of all nations are richly benefited. The book is a pearl, which deserves a precious and purposeful planning model for achieving "global health by education and empowerment."

This book was released on 2012-07-16 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third edition of Community Organizing and Community Building for Health and Welfare provides new and more established ways to approach community building and organizing, from collaborating with communities on assessment and issue selection to using the power of coalition building, media advocacy, and social media to enhance the effectiveness of such work. With a strong emphasis on cultural relevance and humility, this collection offers a wealth of case studies in areas ranging from childhood obesity to immigrant worker rights to health care reform. A "tool kit" of appendixes includes guidelines for assessing coalition effectiveness, exercises for critical reflection on our own power and privilege, and training tools such as "policy bingo." From former organizer and now President Barack Obama to academics and professionals in the fields of public health, social work, urban planning, and community psychology, the book offers a comprehensive vision and on-the-ground examples of the many ways community building and organizing can help us address some of the most intractable health and social problems of our times. Dr. Minkler's course syllabus: Although Dr. Minkler has changed the order of some chapters in the syllabus to accommodate guest speakers and help students prep for the midterm assignment she uses, she arranged the actual book layout in a way that should flow quite naturally if instructors wish to use it in the order in which chapters appear.

This book was released on 2010-10-10 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nanotechnology is enabling applications in materials, microelectronics, health, and agriculture, which are projected to create the next big shift in production, comparable to the industrial revolution. Such major shifts always co-evolve with social relationships. This book focuses on how nanotechnologies might affect equity/equality in global society. Nanotechnologies are likely to open gaps by gender, ethnicity, race, and ability status, as well as between developed and developing countries, unless steps are taken now to create a different outcome. Organizations need to change their practices, and cultural ideas must be broadened if currently disadvantaged groups are to have a more equal position in nano-society rather than a more disadvantaged one. Economic structures are likely to shift in the nano-revolution, requiring policymakers and participatory processes to invent new institutions for social welfare, better suited to the new economic order than those of the past.

Download or read book Rescuing America written by Richard G. Clemens and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2008-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John F. Kennedy said, 'Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer.' In that spirit, Richard G. Clemens wrote Rescuing America: The Bipartisan Path, which discusses a wide range of domestic policy issues facing the federal government in a nonpartisan way. These issues include: the demographic trends resulting from the rapidly growing aged population, Social Security, Medicare, the US trade deficit, the Iraq war, the mushrooming national debt, and tax and fiscal policy. Clemens identifies leaders of both political parties in Congress who are striving to follow the bipartisan path to find solutions. With the national debt rising at the rate of $40 million each hour, Rescuing America is a compelling read for anyone who is concerned about the unsustainable trajectory of mounting federal spending and the potential financial catastrophe that our nation faces in the years ahead."
