The NHS. Our Sick Sacred Cow
The NHS has become a sacred cow; a corporation beyond criticism.The NHS and medical practice in the UK are together failing to provide millions of patients with care that best serves their health. Why? Many causes are identifiable. To reverse them, fundamental changes will be necessary.The experience and judgement of doctors and nurses no longer have the influence they once did. Medical practice has gradually lost its sacrosanct sovereign role in favour of the bureaucratic control of the clinically unqualified. Medical bureaucracy is no longer content with housekeeping. Its decisions now impact the clinical arena. As a result, many doctors and nurses have become dispirited, demeaned and discontented. In considerable numbers, they are leaving the UK medical profession or emigrating.Fundamental change is required if we are to cure our sick sacred cow. The many suggestions made here to cure our sick sacred cow will doubtless be resisted by a corporation intent on extending its workforce and expanding its influence.
Brain, Physical Activity and Learning
In the pages of this book there is not only the pretension of opening concrete expectations for the use of the scientific knowledge discovered by the science of the brain, directed towards the educational and sports field, but also to be able to make timely proposals of pedagogical intervention in the teaching areas, due to the fact that the current culture is more and more critical and demands to base the knowledge before applying it.Nowadays, it is the neuroscientists who enunciate, demonstrate and justify the importance and urgent need of the motor action that our society needs.
The Third Net
Reveals the presence of an informal system of valuable support and care for marginalized migrants The United States' health care system not only consists of a formal safety net, but also an informal and disjointed network of organizations that offer basic care to millions of migrants. This "Third Net" provides free or low-cost health care for the undocumented, low-income, and uninsured migrants who are excluded from the formal system. This groundbreaking study sheds light on the existence of the Third Net and its implications for the overall inequalities in the US health care system. The Third Net is made up of diverse providers with varying levels of service, organizational culture, and mission. These providers operate in unconventional settings, such as mobile clinics on wheels; pop-up clinics in repurposed spaces; and unlicensed, makeshift clinics run by health activists. Despite their unassuming appearances, these clinics are vital resources for marginalized populations that often go unnoticed by the general public, revealing the shortcomings of our formal health care system. By examining these alternative health care spaces, the authors expose the inequities entrenched in the broader health care system and urge a reevaluation of it entirely in order to address these injustices.

Risk Factors for NASH in Cryptogenic Cirrhosis
Cryptogenic cirrhosis represents the final stage of some occult chronic liver diseases, with NASH being one of the main underlying diseases responsible for these cases. Some studies have looked for an association between cryptogenic cirrhosis and NASH by comparing the "metabolic profile" of the two groups, emphasizing diabetes mellitus and obesity. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of risk factors for NASH in patients with cryptogenic cirrhosis in Porto Alegre, southern Brazil, in order to establish a possible causal relationship. The study was carried out at the ISCMPA Gastroenterology Department between 2008 and 2010. It was concluded that, in assessing the possible etiological relationship between NASH and cryptogenic cirrhosis, the results allow an inference to be made, since a concordance was found in the glycemic profile and a difference between the mean age, suggesting a time necessary for the progression of the disease.

Biological Learning and Control
A novel theoretical framework that describes a possible rationale for the regularity in how we move, how we learn, and how our brain predicts events. In Biological Learning and Control, Reza Shadmehr and Sandro Mussa-Ivaldi present a theoretical framework for understanding the regularity of the brain's perceptions, its reactions to sensory stimuli, and its control of movements. They offer an account of perception as the combination of prediction and observation: the brain builds internal models that describe what should happen and then combines this prediction with reports from the sensory system to form a belief. Considering the brain's control of movements, and variations despite biomechanical similarities among old and young, healthy and unhealthy, and humans and other animals, Shadmehr and Mussa-Ivaldi review evidence suggesting that motor commands reflect an economic decision made by our brain weighing reward and effort. This evidence also suggests that the brain prefers to receive a reward sooner than later, devaluing or discounting reward with the passage of time; then as the value of the expected reward changes in the brain with the passing of time (because of development, disease, or evolution), the shape of our movements will also change. The internal models formed by the brain provide the brain with an essential survival skill: the ability to predict based on past observations. The formal concepts presented by Shadmehr and Mussa-Ivaldi offer a way to describe how representations are formed, what structure they have, and how the theoretical concepts can be tested.
Adult celiac disease and associated autoimmune diseases
Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune inflammatory enteropathy, caused by one of the protein fractions of gluten (food antigen), gliadin (a protein contained in wheat, rye and barley) and which occurs in genetically predisposed subjects [1,2,3]. Its pathogenesis results from the interaction between genetic, immunological and environmental factors which, through the intervention of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II genes (encoding the HLA-DQ2 molecule, and those encoding the HLA-DQ8 molecule) induce an immune response in the intestinal mucosa leading to villous atrophy resulting in malabsorption, and the presence of specific antibodies in the serum of patients, which has changed the epidemiological view of celiac disease. The association with other autoimmune diseases (AID) is frequent, which imposes their systematic research. The aim of our work was to evaluate the prevalence of autoimmune diseases during celiac disease and to analyze their epidemiological, clinical, and immunological profile.
Borges and Memory
A scientist's exploration of the working of memory begins with a story by Borges about a man who could not forget. Imagine the astonishment felt by neuroscientist Rodrigo Quian Quiroga when he found a fantastically precise interpretation of his research findings in a story written by the great Argentinian fabulist Jorge Luis Borges fifty years earlier. Quian Quiroga studies the workings of the brain--in particular how memory works--one of the most complex and elusive mysteries of science. He and his fellow neuroscientists have at their disposal sophisticated imaging equipment and access to information not available just twenty years ago. And yet Borges seemed to have imagined the gist of Quian Quiroga's discoveries decades before he made them. The title character of Borges's "Funes the Memorious" remembers everything in excruciatingly particular detail but is unable to grasp abstract ideas. Quian Quiroga found neurons in the human brain that respond to abstract concepts but ignore particular details, and, spurred by the way Borges imagined the consequences of remembering every detail but being incapable of abstraction, he began a search for the origins of Funes. Borges's widow, Mar穩a Kodama, gave him access to her husband's personal library, and Borges's books led Quian Quiroga to reread earlier thinkers in philosophy and psychology. He found that just as Borges had perhaps dreamed the results of Quian Quiroga's discoveries, other thinkers--William James, Gustav Spiller, John Stuart Mill--had perhaps also dreamed a story like "Funes." With Borges and Memory, Quian Quiroga has given us a fascinating and accessible story about the workings of the brain that the great creator of Funes would appreciate.

Support for the Infected
Infectious diseases were getting from microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. It is possible if the infection goes from one person to another by physical contact. Even if people already have taken care of themselves from their environment and implemented social distancing. However, some infectious diseases can also survive and spread from the air or objects that have been touched. In particular conditions such as HIV, this disease can be prevented consciously. However, this remains an incurable mystery due to not being careful and not thinking about the consequences. People's awareness of remaining conscious of things that are valuable to themselves needs to be maintained. HIV affects many lives, not only the person infected but also those around them. Not only current conditions but also the future. Such a significant impact on negligence or unconsciousness. The impact brings a lot of difficulty in daily activity. It also brings a lot of problems in making friends, being in a relationship with someone, and also negative stigma. Support from family, friends, and peer are really needed. Without any support, their body, mind, and soul would in a higher stress rate, have social problems, decrease physical condition, affect the adherence to taking medicine, and affect faith in worship. People with this condition will end up with a poor quality of life and fasten mortality. At this point, what we need is to be understanding, the big impact of social support for people with the infection. The understanding will bring differences in how people will see through others and how people will react or act for others. The negligence and unconsciousness will also be changed by a good support system.
Clinical Efficacy and Cost-Effectiveness of the Triglycerides and Glucose Index
Because the increasing trends in the obesity prevalence, which closely mirrors the increase of insulin resistance and the consequent development of metabolic disorders and cardiovascular risk factors.The body of evidence unequivocally show that insulin resistance is associated to prediabetes, diabetes, hypertension, atherosclerosis, metabolic syndrome, some types of cancer, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. So, changes on lifestyle such as a health customary diet and routine physical activity for preventing or the management of obesity are priorities to improve the health status. With this regard, the early detection of insulin resistance holds as important public health issue.In this book, we review evidence regarding the efficacy of the Triglycerides and Glucose (TyG) index for measuring insulin resistance in the clinical setting, as well as the cost-effectiveness analysis of the index. The review is focused on the efficacy of TyG index in the metabolic glucose disorders, cardiovascular disease, some types of cancer, as well as in the children and adolescents. Also, we present data about the cost-effectiveness of the TyG index as compared with the Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance index. For a better understanding the initial chapters display the concept of insulin resistance and the clinical validated tests for its measuring. Hence, the aimed objective was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness of using TyG index for diagnosing insulin resistance in the clinical setting.

Challenging Neuronormativity for Communal Justice
This dissertation's primary goal is to trouble the ableism embedded in how written communication is taught and evaluated. Drawing on principles of disability justice, user experience (UX) design, and socially just writing assessment theory, I develop equity-oriented approaches to classroom grading, writing program directed self-placement, and theories ofvalidity. I argue that for writing assessment ecologies to continue moving toward the goals of justice and equity, including intersectional anti-ableism, there must be commitments to crip community building, flexibility as access, radical trust, and participatory localization
Find the Black Box
Every year, approximately 200,000 deaths occur in the US healthcare system that could have been prevented, akin to experiencing twenty weekly crashes of Boeing 747 airliners. This grim reality highlights the dire state of our nation's healthcare delivery system, where lives are needlessly lost in hospitals every single day. In his book "Find the Black Box," Dr. Ira Williams delves deep into the inherent issues plaguing the American healthcare system and offers viable solutions to establish a more effective healthcare system.Throughout the book, Williams presents a multitude of facts to expose the deficiencies in the current healthcare system as he seeks answers to crucial questions such as: What crucial element has always been lacking in our nation's healthcare delivery system?Why have previous efforts failed to bring about the necessary changes to the system, which continues to fall short?What makes some of these efforts questionable, or even illegal?"Find the Black Box" investigates the reasons behind the persistent rise in medical errors and sheds light on the disorganized, dysfunctional, and chaotic state of healthcare in the nation. However, amid these harsh realities, Williams also demonstrates that achieving a superior healthcare system is indeed possible with the right approach.
Evolution from Bipolar Affective Disorder to Dementia
This study was based on a rare sample (patients diagnosed with dementia and bipolar affective disorder simultaneously) whose small number, 130 patients, poses statistical challenges. A history of bipolar disorder is associated with a significantly higher risk of dementia in older adults and has been associated with cognitive decline. Some studies investigating the risk of dementia and death in older people with bipolar disorder have concluded that bipolar disorder in senile age is associated with an increased risk of dementia (designated as greater neurocognitive impairment in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition) and premature death. Bipolar disorder is a chronic psychiatric illness characterised by fluctuations in mood, with a relapsing and remitting course.The most common causes of dementia in individuals over the age of 65 are (1) Alzheimer's disease (2) vascular dementia and (3) vascular dementia and Alzheimer's type. Other diseases that account for around 10 per cent of the total include dementia with Lewy bodies; Pick's diseases; frontotemporal dementias.

It considers the problems of clinicians who continue to suffer the ill effects of being othered within a medical setting. It argues that clinicians lacking the awareness and skills necessary to engage in an EDI-informed manner with members of their professional setting and patients, and benignly unaware of their privilege cannot effectively deliver care. The goal is to engage readers in a more inclusive practice.
Superclasses in Homeopathy
The Superclass idea is the latest step in the evolution of ideas of Dr Rajan Sankaran. Starting with his concept of disease as a pattern of perception, he went on to originate the Sensation Method which focussed on the core experience of the individual and classified the patterns of such experience into Plant, Mineral and Animal kingdoms as well as into Miasms. He then discovered the WISE processes which are tools for directly accessing the person's core pattern. Within the Plant kingdom, Dr Sankaran started discovering the specific sensation of each family then of each order and of each subclass. There are 6 subclasses of dicotyledons. He observed that the central theme of each subclass of the dicotyledons had things in common with a certain animal group and a certain mineral group. This discovery led to the concept of Superclasses. Each of the 6 Superclasses has a specific dynamic response which connects remedies from the 3 kingdoms. Identifying the Superclass in each individual enables the practitioner to narrow the search for the remedy. The Superclass idea adds a new dimension to the understanding of remedies and people. This understanding has a far reaching and universal applicability and could become an important milestone in the development of homeopathy as well as in the understanding of humans.

Surgical Intervention in Salivary Gland Lesion
Benign salivary gland tumors, such as pleomorphic adenomas and Warthin's tumors, often require surgical excision for complete removal and to prevent recurrence. This typically involves techniques like parotidectomy, submandibular gland excision, or even minimally invasive approaches, depending on the location and size of the lesion. Precise surgical planning is essential to minimize damage to adjacent structures like facial nerves and maintain salivary function. In cases of malignant salivary gland tumors, surgery remains a cornerstone of treatment. The extent of surgical intervention varies based on the tumor type, stage, and the patient's overall health. Surgeons may perform radical resections, neck dissections, or selective lymph node removal to ensure the removal of cancerous tissue while preserving function and appearance. Surgical intervention also addresses non-neoplastic conditions, including salivary gland infections, sialolithiasis (salivary gland stones), and chronic inflammatory disorders. Procedures like salivary gland drainage or stone removal can alleviate pain, discomfort, and inflammation. Overall, surgical intervention in salivary gland lesions demands a multidisciplinary approach, involving skilled surgeons, pathologists, and radiologists to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Advances in surgical techniques, including the use of minimally invasive procedures and nerve monitoring, have improved outcomes and reduced complications, enabling patients to regain their quality of life and salivary function. Nonetheless, each case is unique, highlighting the importance of individualized treatment strategies in the comprehensive management of salivary gland lesions.

Effects of Visual Tactile Stimulation on Upper Limb Sensory Impairment, Dexterity, and Quality of Movement
Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Medicine - Anatomy, Physiology, Cytology, grade: A, Virtual University of Pakistan, language: English, abstract: Paralysis that only affects one side of your body is referred to as hemiplegia. Up to 85% of stroke victims suffer upper limb sensory deficits, dexterity and movement quality. To determine effects of visual tactile stimulation on upper limb sensory impairment, dexterity, and quality of movement with sub-acute hemiplegic patients. A randomized controlled trial, conducted on 26 sub-acute hemiplegic stroke patients age of 35 to 80 and sample was collected from Zafar hospital, Lahore. Upper limb sensory deficit, dexterity, and quality of movement were checked by standardized tools which were fugyl-meyer scale, Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament, box and block test and motor activity log assessment. Social package for statistical sciences version 25 used for statistical work. Parametric Independent sample t test was used for between group studies which shows that p-values of all the variables were less than 0.05 which means that there is a significant difference in pre- and post-intervention. Within group studies done by using paired sample t test which shows there is a difference in pre- and post-interventions of all variables but mean differences of all variables in experimental group was more significant. It is concluded that both interventions group shows difference, but visual tactile stimulation group shows better results.
Conceptual and Ethical Challenges of Evolutionary Medicine
This book analyses the concept of disease, as defined in the context of evolutionary medicine. Upon introducing the reader to evolutionary medicine in its current form and describing its approach to disease instances, the book leverages thoughts and instruments of knowledge of epistemology, social sciences, and ethics to answer the question: "How can we build a timely and appropriate concept of disease?" At first, it looks at the social concerns of medicalization, for example focusing on the suffering of people who have not been diagnosed, or whose suffering is not caused by certain elements that falls under the definitions of disease. In turn, it merges different, both conceptual and empirical considerations in one comprehensive analysis, with the aim of fostering a multidisciplinary understanding of the phenomenon of disease. This book also highlights certain kinds of epistemic injustices that are taking place in the healthcare system, as this is currently conceived in post-industrial societies, thus offering a timely contribution to the current debate around social justice in healthcare.

Clinical, Radiological and Genetic Investigation of Fahr's Disease
Fahr's disease (FD) or Familial Primary Calcification of the Basal Nuclei is a rare neurodegenerative disease, with an incidence of less than 1 in 1 million inhabitants (SALEEM et al., 2013) worldwide, autosomal dominant, characterised by symmetrical and bilateral calcifications in the basal nuclei (nb) and other areas of the cerebral cortex, thus allowing for diverse clinical presentations, mainly with extrapyramidal and psychiatric symptoms. In recent years, mutations in four genes have been identified as causing the disease (SLC20A2, PDGFRB, PDGFB and XPR1) allowing for a specific genotype-phenotype correlation as shown in Table 1 (TADIC et al., 2015). The author of this research is a neurologist working in the field of neuropediatrics. Through clinical history and examinations, she identified the likelihood of FD in the proband and found ways to develop this work in postgraduate studies.
