Treatment of respiratory distress
Respiratory distress is a medical emergency that requires pre-hospital care by the SAMU, and depending on the patient's condition, may lead to hospitalization in intensive care. Among the most frequent causes: acute COPD decompensation, severe acute asthma, pneumothorax, neuromuscular diseases and thoracic trauma.In children, foreign bodies are the most frequent cause of respiratory distress.Diagnosis of respiratory distress is based on clinical findings and gasometric abnormalities (hypoxemia, hypercapnia).Oxygenation using a mask or mask scope is the first line of treatment.All intra- or extra-hospital transport must be assisted by the SAMU.
African alternative medicine
Since the dawn of mankind, we have always sought to preserve our health. To achieve this, we use the resources of our environment. Indeed, African flora in general, and Beninese flora in particular, contains many plant species that biologists have not yet identified, and whose therapeutic virtues are perhaps still unknown. WHO statistics estimate that over 80% of Benin's population turn to traditional medicine for their primary healthcare needs. The aim of this study is to examine how traditional medicine can be integrated into the official health system in Benin. This overall objective is broken down into five specific objectives: to investigate the foundations of traditional medicine; to study the bases of traditional medicine practice; to examine the framework of collaboration between traditional medicine practitioners and health workers; to identify the diseases treated by traditional practitioners. Finally, to assess the safety aspects of traditional health care offerings, particularly in terms of efficacy, safety and quality.

New studies on Restless Legs Syndrome or Willis-Ekbom Syndrome
Although Willis-Ekbom syndrome was first described in the 1940s, it is in the last 20 years that it has received increased attention. This is due to the high prevalence in the general population. Other factors have also contributed, such as the important advances in genetic characterisation, the general boost provided by the rise of sleep medicine in the developed world, or the potential morbidity factor that this disease represents for other diseases, such as cardiovascular or metabolic diseases, not to mention the important advances in treatment. As a result, the number of patients diagnosed and treated for RLS has increased significantly in recent years.
Occupational implications of lead exposure and health damage.
Pb is an ancient metal that has multiple industrial uses, but when it is manipulated and present in living organisms such as humans, it has serious pathological effects on systems, organs and tissues, the amount in the body will be proportional to the toxic severity. The objective of this work is to update the knowledge on the occupational implications of Pb exposure and its damage to health in different geographical areas. This metal is present in some occupational activities and in the environment in general. The absorption of this mineral depends on the degree of occupational and environmental exposure in men and women. Monitoring by health areas is essential for detection, early prevention and treatment of people affected by the environment, food or occupational handling. Its determination is by means of a venous blood sample, which helps to determine risk levels of exposure to Pb in blood >=10 繕g/dl. At high levels, Pb in the body causes permanent damage to the brain and CNS. This damage can lead to seizures, loss of muscle control and coma.
Statistical Methods in Epilepsy
The handbook targets clinicians, graduate students, medical students, and researchers who seek to conduct quantitative epilepsy research.
Do Unto Others
In the present era, publicity has pervaded the healthcare sector like never before. The choice of right and wrong or beneficial and harmful gets influenced by the power of the purse. Even if you are a health enthusiast, are you certain about the efficacy of your lifestyle? Are you sure about the safety of the disease management techniques you apply - for yourself and your loved ones? Especially when a sea of information is at your fingertips, common beliefs seem to be influenced by biased information. Moreover, rejecting something sans a fair trial eliminates the chances of potential benefits that it could have offered. Not to mention, when it is a health subject, the stakes are higher. In these selfish times, lay your hands on the answers to the most pertinent questions asked to a homoeopath - who's motive is nothing else than creating awareness. These answers can give you a clarified perspective to make informed decisions for your well-being. Further, this book doesn't boast about homoeopathy. In fact, it discusses the potential of homoeopathy while explicitly stating the well-defined boundaries.

First Principles
In First Principles, Alessandra Lemma examines the centrality of applied ethics to psychoanalytic practice, The book focuses on the articulation of an accessible framework for developing and exercising an identifiable method - an ethical self-discipline - to support critical reflection on therapists' psychoanalytic work with patients and to help them to approach the resolution of ethical dilemmas. Integrating key concepts from the field of applied ethics, and bioethics specifically, Lemma re-interprets them for use within a psychoanalytic framework, articulating how we can understand psychoanalytically the concepts of beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy, justice, and veracity and deploy these to guide clinical work. Using clinical examples, the book outlines a working model for how therapists can reflect on their practice, as well as devoting a chapter on how to teach ethics within psychoanalytic psychotherapy trainings and outlining a detailed curriculum for teaching ethics. This book is essential reading for psychoanalytic practitioners as well as clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, counsellors, and psychoanalysts who work in the psychoanalytic tradition.
Let My People Breathe! Unmasking the Mask Controversy With Science and Scripture
The title, Let My People Breathe!, is adapted from the Exodus when God sent Moses to Pharoah with His demand: "Let my people go!" When you read this book, you will understand the urgency that is reflected in the title.Let My People Breathe! examines science and Scripture to answer two questions regarding mask mandates: (1. Do masks work (what does the science say), and (2. Are mask mandates moral, do they violate personal liberties (what do the Scriptures say)?Dr. Scheidbach is known among his peers and his radio/podcast followers of the Brain Massage(R) show as a fastidious researcher of high integrity. In preparation for writing this book, he examined 964 scientific and technical studies searching for the answer to question No. 1 - do masks work? He discovered that while many late studies purport to support public masking to control the spread, not one provides scientific proof that surgical or cloth masks offer adequate protection against infection by something so small as a virus.Furthermore, he discovered our natural filtration provides far superior protection than the masks recommended by CDC, WHO, and Fauci. And disturbingly, he discovered masks can interfere with natural filtration and actually facilitate infection.He documents his research thoroughly in his book and provides his readers access to every article he examined, along with his extensive research notes (over 800 pages), in separate downloadable files. (Free to all who purchase Let My People Breathe!)On the second question, what does the Bible say about mask mandates, Dr. Scheidbach brings to his readers over 50 years of extensive biblical studies, including formal training culminating in an earned Doctorate in Theological Studies (graduating summa cum laude). He addresses questions about a Christian's responsibility to obey governments with biblical integrity and refreshing candor. He shows what the Bible actually says about the purpose and limits of government. His explanation of Romans 13 is worth the price of this book! In this section of Let My People Breathe!, Dr. Scheidbach reveals that the mask mandate issue has far-reaching political and spiritual implications.Let My People Breathe! could be one of the most important books you read this year!

The Hermeneutics of Medicine and the Phenomenology of Health
This is the first monograph to deal with medicine as a form of hermeneutics, now in a thoroughly revised and updated edition, including a whole new chapter on medical ethics. The book offers a comprehensive philosophical argument why good medical practice cannot be curtailed to scientific investigations of the body but is a form of clinical hermeneutics performed by health-care professionals in dialogue with their patients. Medical hermeneutics is rooted in a phenomenology of illness which acknowledges and proceeds from the ill party's bodily feelings, everyday life-world circumstances and self-understanding in aiming to restore health.The author shows how the works of classical phenomenologists and hermeneuticians - Martin Heidegger, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Hans-Georg Gadamer and Paul Ricoeur - may be employed to understand how medical diagnosis is enveloped by professional empathy and clinical judgement and developed by scientific investigations of the patient's bodily condition. Health and illness are ultimately considered to be ways of feeling at home or not at home in the world, and such experiences are the starting point of medical hermeneutics when aiming to make best use of scientific knowledge. The book is aimed at researchers and teachers in philosophy of medicine and medical ethics, and at physicians, nurses and other health-care professionals meeting with patients in ethically complex and challenging situations. Phenomenology and hermeneutics, most often considered as methods belonging to the humanities, are shown to be of vital importance for the understanding of medical practice and ethical dilemmas of health care.
The Vulnerability of the Human World
This book contains the most recent papers problematizing the notions of health, vulnerability, and well-being for individuals and their environment.

Doing Dignity
Explores human dignity and care in the face of disease and disability.Complex contemporary experiences with disease, death, and disability in the United States have made the concept of human dignity seem outdated. In Doing Dignity: Ethical Praxis and the Politics of Care, Christa Teston challenges conventional notions of dignity and, based on analyses of clinical observations, interviews, and focus groups, encourages a new understanding of care.This thought-provoking book presents a practice-based approach to human dignity through three compelling case studies: US health care professionals' COVID-19 caretaking experiences, legislative debates about medical aid in dying, and clinical interactions between wheelchair users and health care professionals. Teston demonstrates how dignity is not an abstract idea but rather is a set of practices embedded in the politics and complexities of care. Drawing from feminist care ethics, rhetorical theory, disability studies, and critical Black studies, Doing Dignity offers a fresh perspective on the moral underpinnings of modern-day medicine. Teston explores how health care professionals enact dignity despite the challenges of market-based medicine, the commodification of care, and shifting societal discourse on disease, dying, and disability. This book transcends philosophical debates and provides practical insights for both patients and practitioners. Without falling into sentimentality or hopelessness, Doing Dignity honors human vulnerability while revealing how situational factors influence the practice of dignified care.
Viruses and Reproductive Injustice
Brazil's Zika outbreak revealed extreme health disparities and reproductive injustice across racial and socioeconomic lines. Brazil's 2015 Zika outbreak led to severe illnesses for many and the birth of several thousands of children with severe brain damage. Even though mosquito-borne diseases such as the Zika virus affect people across society, these children were born almost exclusively to poor, and usually non-white, women. In Viruses and Reproductive Injustice, Ilana L繹wy explores the complicated health disparities and reproductive injustice that led to these cases of congenital Zika syndrome.L繹wy examines the history of the outbreak in Brazil and connects it to broader questions concerning reproductive rights, the medical science behind understanding new pathogens, and the role of international health organizations in battling--or ignoring--public health crises. The explanation behind the strongly skewed distribution of cases among social classes was far from straightforward or obvious during the Zika outbreak. L繹wy argues that the disproportionate effect of Zika on births among the poor is primarily a function of dramatic disparities in access to contraception and prenatal care, as well as Brazil's anti-abortion laws: only wealthier women have access to safe abortions. This is a book about the changing meaning of an infectious disease outbreak and a haunting demonstration that an epidemic is both a biological and a political event produced by the complicated entanglement of humans, viruses, and mosquitoes.
Regulating Abortion
Explores the historical development and severe ramifications of America's strict abortion regulations.Nearly one in four women in the United States undergoes an abortion during their life. In Regulating Abortion, Deborah R. McFarlane and Wendy L. Hansen uncover the history of the complex web of regulations surrounding abortion in the United States and shed light on the stark reality of this heavily regulated and politically divisive health care service. McFarlane and Hansen delve into the historical development of abortion regulations since Roe v. Wade. They explore the underlying reasons for the extensive regulation of what they assert is a routine and safe medical procedure. The authors examine the multitude of factors that influence state-level abortion policies, including party affiliation, religion, the representation of women in legislatures, and political contributions. By demonstrating how these factors shape the landscape of abortion regulation across different states, they reveal the varying methods and justifications used to either restrict or protect abortion access, with a particular focus on the disproportionate impacts on women of color. The recent landmark US Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization overturned long-standing precedents. McFarlane and Hansen provide timely insights into the implications of this ruling and how it further amplifies the disparities among states in regulating abortion. An essential resource for understanding the influences driving this divide, Regulating Abortion offers a comprehensive analysis of US abortion policy contextualized by relevant Supreme Court decisions and a comparative exploration of abortion regulation in Western Europe.
The power of bibliotherapy
The present work aims to bring to the public a constructive dialogue about bibliotherapy, a subject that arouses much interest due to its simplicity and proven effectiveness. Bibliotherapy, known as the practice of telling stories and giving rise to a therapeutic moment of dialogue, reflection and good humour, causing improvements in the physical and emotional state of people, with or without apparent health problems, has also been widely studied for some time. Considered a science, as it has a marked presence in universities around the world, with research related to its nuances and forms of application, it is a prominent theme in the academic world. This practice is presented here through an analysis of the content in the scientific literature, but mainly by the knowledge about the subject acquired over the years of experience of the author, as a volunteer in the Storytellers Group-DPS. As a member of the group since its inception in 2011, and coordinator of one of its teams, the author practices bibliotherapeutic activities at the Hospital de Base do Distrito Federal (HBDF), one of the largest and best-known public hospitals in the region.
For Country and Cannabis
This a true story. The time line from 1965 to its ending as 2022 begins. It documents the experience of a young warrior growing old as a different kind of combatant and his adventure from Boston to the Caribbean, Rhode Island, Vietnam, Hawaii, California, the Indian Ocean, Ohio, Virginia, and Florida.For Country and Cannabis is a love story; a glimpse into the rigors of a navy career; and a look at a legal, social, and financial war waged over an herb. This is a five-decade-long history that teaches the reader of government lies, malfeasance, and injustice to groups of US citizens and individuals who wanted the option of using therapeutic cannabis as part of their treatment protocols.Almost all of the folks in the book are real and dead. This is a bit of what they did and how. For Country and Cannabis ensures that what remains only now with me, and a small shrinking cabal of advocates, is shared with you. Most of this is as true as I can recall these decades later.
Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy EMJ
Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) is an idiopathic generalized epilepsy affecting older children and adults, with a peak in frequency at puberty. It begins between the ages of 12 and 18, and is rare after the age of 30. The child will have one or more myoclonic jerks that predominate after awakening, associated or not with CGTCs and/or absences. EMJ is an electro-clinical genetic epilepsy. Our aim is to describe the electroclinical, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects of our patients. This is a prospective study from May 2014 to July 2015 at the epileptology consultation of the clinical neurophysiology department. Nineteen cases (11 M +9 F with a sex ratio of 1.22), mean age of onset 16.15 years, extremes from 9 to 30. The age group most affected was 14 to 19 years, with a frequency of 36.85%. History of familial epilepsy (73.68%), consanguinity (5.26%); myoclonic jerks associated with CGTC (64%) absences (10%); pathological EEG in all patients. Point-waves were the most frequent (57.89%), i.e. 11 cases. PHB was the most commonly used treatment, effective in 63.15% (12 cases).

Whispers of Medicine's Past
Dr. Amer Husseini shines a spotlight on individuals who have made amazing medical discoveries. He also explores how making such discoveries requires not only intellect, but also perseverance, and a vivid imagination. There have been countless others who have made similar observations as the individuals featured in this book, that never fully grasped the potential impact of what they saw. True pioneers are defined not just by what they know and see, but by their determination to bring their discovery to the world. One such example is Michael Heidelberger, and Walter Jacobs, who first synthesized sulfanilamide in 1915. Their investigation was ultimately terminated because the researchers were unable to envision that sulfonamide would be effective against bacterial infection. As a result, the development of sulfa drugs was delayed for an additional twenty years. Join the author as he examines past medical discoveries, successes and failures, and the noble and sometimes not-so-ethical practices that have led to revolutionary changes in medicine.

Managing Risk During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The past 30 years have seen risk become a major field of study, most recently with the COVID-19 pandemic positioning it at the centre of public awareness, yet there is limited understanding of how risk can and should be used in policy making. This book provides an accessible guide to the key elements of risk in policy making, including its role in rhetoric to legitimise decisions and choices. Using risk as a framework, it examines how policy makers in a range of countries responded to the COVID-19 pandemic and explains why some were more successful than others.
Practical aspects of setting up a cardio-oncology unit
Introduction Cardiovascular management of cancer patients represents a major challenge, since cancer and cardiovascular disease often coexist, and anticancer treatments can be the cause of cardiac or vascular toxicity. It is therefore vital to specifically organize cardiovascular follow-up for patients who are due to receive potentially cardio-toxic treatment. Improved management and the development of specific research require teams and structures bringing together cardiologists and oncologists, who have acquired interdisciplinary expertise. In this context, the creation of a cardio-oncology unit has emerged.Methods In this paper, we examine the managerial and academic aspects of a project to set up a cardio-oncology unit in the cardiology department of the Tunis Military Hospital.Results An inventory of the difficulties involved in caring for cancer patients was drawn up using an ISHIKAWA diagram. Among the obstacles identified, poor knowledge of anticancer treatments and their toxicities, as well as the absence of close collaboration between the different medical teams, were cited.
Dendritic Spines
A leading neurobiologist explores the fundamental function of dendritic spines in neural circuits by analyzing different aspects of their biology, including structure, development, motility, and plasticity. Most neurons in the brain are covered by dendritic spines, small protrusions that arise from dendrites, covering them like leaves on a tree. But a hundred and twenty years after spines were first described by Ram籀n y Cajal, their function is still unclear. Dozens of different functions have been proposed, from Cajal's idea that they enhance neuronal interconnectivity to hypotheses that spines serve as plasticity machines, neuroprotective devices, or even digital logic elements. In Dendritic Spines, leading neurobiologist Rafael Yuste attempts to solve the "spine problem," searching for the fundamental function of spines. He does this by examining many aspects of spine biology that have fascinated him over the years, including their structure, development, motility, plasticity, biophysical properties, and calcium compartmentalization. Yuste argues that we may never understand how the brain works without understanding the specific function of spines. In this book, he offers a synthesis of the information that has been gathered on spines (much of which comes from his own studies of the mammalian cortex), linking their function with the computational logic of the neuronal circuits that use them. He argues that once viewed from the circuit perspective, all the pieces of the spine puzzle fit together nicely into a single, overarching function. Yuste connects these two topics, integrating current knowledge of spines with that of key features of the circuits in which they operate. He concludes with a speculative chapter on the computational function of spines, searching for the ultimate logic of their existence in the brain and offering a proposal that is sure to stimulate discussions and drive future research.
