 Caring for Depression


Caring for Depression


$19.41


One of the major concerns about the changing U.S. health-care systems is whether they will improve or diminish the quality and cost-effectiveness of medical care. The shift from a fee-for-service to a prepaid method of reimbursement has greatly changed the incentives of patients to seek care as well as those of providers to supply it. This change poses a particular challenge for care of depressed patients, a vulnerable population that often does not advocate for its own care. This book documents the inefficiencies of our national systems--prepaid as well as fee-for-service--for treating depression and explores how they can be improved. Although depression is a major illness affecting millions of people, it is seriously undertreated in the United States. The ongoing shift of mental-health care away from specialists and toward primary medical-care providers is causing fewer depressed patients to be appropriately diagnosed and treated. Depression is frequently more devastating than other major illnesses, such as arthritis and heart disease, because it often begins at a younger age, when people are at their productive peak and thus at risk of permanently damaging their careers. It also differs from many medical conditions in that its indirect costs are usually much higher than direct treatment costs. The authors urge the integration of both medical and economic considerations in designing policies for the treatment of depression. They show that by spending more money efficiently on care, the nation will gain greater health improvements per dollar invested and a more productive population.

 Costs of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses


Costs of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses


$56.05


As the debate over health care reform continues, costs have become a critical measure in the many plans and proposals to come before us. Knowing costs is important because it allows comparisons across such disparate health conditions as AIDS, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, and cancer. This book presents the results of a major study estimating the large and largely overlooked costs of occupational injury and illness--costs as large as those for cancer and over four times the costs of AIDS.The incidence and mortality of occupational injury and illness were assessed by reviewing data from national surveys and applied an attributable-risk-proportion method. Costs were assessed using the human capital method that decomposes costs into direct categories such as medical costs and insurance administration expenses, as well as indirect categories such as lost earnings and lost fringe benefits. The total is estimated to be $155 billion and is likely to be low as it does not include costs associated with pain and suffering or of home care provided by family members.Invaluable as an aid in the analysis of policy issues, Costs of Occupational Injury and Illness will serve as a resource and reference for economists, policy analysts, public health researchers, insurance administrators, labor unions and labor lawyers, benefits managers, and environmental scientists, among others.J.

Know the Facts about Heart Disease

Healthy people who want to prevent heart attacks also are supported by the Y. Motivated often by the disease or sudden death of a close family friend or relative, sign up for rigorous stress test and blood tests to determine the health of your heart and arteries and the risk of future problems. Those who pass the tests with flying colors are sent on their way, says Bronz. "What we're doing, they say, is well! Those with medium or high risk of heart disease - about 10 percent of those examined - are invited to participate in the program.

Failure Congestive heart failure is a condition where the heart is not pumping effectively resulting in an accumulation of fluid in the lungs. Symptoms may include shortness of breath, difficulty breathing when lying flat and leg or ankle swelling. Causes include chronic hypertension, cardiomyopathy (heart disease primary) and myocardial infarction (irreversible injury to heart muscle).

Coronary artery disease is one in the heart simply stops pumping blood into the arteries. The blockages or difficulty in blood flow to the main source of oxygen to the heart muscle ie coronary arteries is considered the factor main causes this disease. Apart from that the thickening of the arteries called arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure and other problems such as asthma, diabetes etc. causes EXP. CAD causes a heart attack and even death of the person in question.

A heart attack is also known as myocardial infarction, also can occur when a coronary artery temporarily contracts or goes into spasm, decrease or stop the flow of blood to the heart. A heart attack or represents around half of all deaths and coronary heart disease may be caused by nearly all types of heart disease.

Functional as techycardia, bradycardia or hypertension, and arrhythmia (lack of rhythm in the heartbeat) and angina pectoris (chest pain behind the breastbone), and a feeling of impending doom.

The heart has four chambers and four valves. The two upper chambers are the right atrium and left atrium - they collect the blood enters the heart. The lower two are the right ventricle and left ventricle - they pump blood out of the heart. There are two heart valves on each side. The mitral and aortic valves are on the left and the tricuspid and pulmonary valves in the right side. The valves are opened and closed to allow flow blood in one direction.

Excess fat and cholesterol in the blood are made up of different fatty acids and glycerol. Cholesterol is a type of fat. Excess of Fats are stored as such in different parts of the body. A high level of cholesterol in the blood, particularly if carried out in combination in globules of LDL leads to deposition on the walls of blood vessels. Coronary artery disease, blood cholesterol level and the amount of fat taken in the diet usually go hand in hand.

 A Social History of Dying


A Social History of Dying


$23.58


Our experiences of dying have been shaped by ancient ideas about death and social responsibility at the end of life. From Stone Age ideas about dying as otherworld journey to the contemporary Cosmopolitan Age of dying in nursing homes, Allan Kellehear takes the reader on a 2 million year journey of discovery that covers the major challenges we will all eventually face: anticipating, preparing, taming and timing for our eventual deaths. This is a major review of the human and clinical sciences literature about human dying conduct. The historical approach of this book places our recent images of cancer dying and medical care in broader historical, epidemiological and global context. Professor Kellehear argues that we are witnessing a rise in shameful forms of dying. It is not cancer, heart disease or medical science that presents modern dying conduct with its greatest moral tests, but rather poverty, aging and social exclusion.

Causes of Death of Active Duty Personnel in the Canadian Forces


$135.81


This is an epidemiological study of all causes of death in active duty Canadian Forces personnel over 21 years (1983 to 2003). During this time, the Canadian Forces were deployed on numerous peacekeeping missions all over the world, and were deployed as part of the NATO mission to Afghanistan following 9/11. Despite this, combat caused very few deaths over-all in Canadian Forces personnel. In fact, most deaths were from motor vehicle crashes, cancer, ischemic heart disease and suicide. Future military deaths may be avoided by focusing on smoking cessation, alcohol counselling, safe-driving programs and mental health initiatives.

Eatin' After Eden - The Meat of the Word


$18.34


When heart disease became the nation''s number one killer disease in 1955 with 5OO,OOO deaths annually, the American Heart Association and cardiologists directed us to the Prudent Diet and away from traditional animal-source foods of 6,OOO years. Saturated fat became a four-letter word overnight while vegetable oil and man-ufactured foods have become politically and religiously correct. Yet more than fifty years later cardiovascular disease is still the number one killer disease with almost one million deaths annually. What''s wrong with this picture? Does the Bible have anything to say about it? In a semi-scholarly and easily understood presentation, Dr. Zook reveals the shocking consequences of America''s rejection of the Creator''s plan for eating after Eden-after Genesis 1:29-and His specific instructions for our time.

 Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation


Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation


$202.21


The aim of the Textbook of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation is to provide practical guidance for all cardiologists and other health personnel engaged in the management of cardiac patients. The book will follow the concept of seamless care service, i.e. a streamlined combination of preventive and rehabilitative methods in order both to add years to life and life to years. It will consist of eight sections. Commencing with an introductory section it will focus on guidelines, prevention, risk stratification and the evidence base of cardiac rehabilitation. In the following three sections different models for exercise testing and training, nutritional counselling and smoking cessation will be presented. The behavioral section contains health-related quality of life and psychological issues, patient education, compliance and adherence to the treatment program. In the social section the return to work, the role of relatives, heart foundations etc. will be discussed. Groups with special needs will be highlighted in the seventh section, which will address children with cardiac disease, elderly, women, heart failure and cardiac transplantation patients, patients with ICD or after valve surgery. The final section comprises evaluation options. quality assurance and organisational matters i.e. program design, staff training, safety, documentation and a health-economic cost review; even national program differences will be debated. Each section will contain a short summary and tables with practical guidance statements. Furthermore, all sections will be formatted as to follow the natural course of cardiovascular disease, starting off with focus on primary preventive careand finishing with the demands on rehabilitation of the patient with advanced disease, thus following the seamless care concept.
