More to Consider in the Battle Against Ulcerative Colitis
A significant proportion of patients do not tolerate existing treatments because of their adverse effects and about 20% to 30% of patients fail to respond to the drugs given for induction of remission. Consequently, new alternatives for the treatment of UC constantly are being sought. Sood, et al., 2009Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory disease involving the rectum and the colon-causing pain, bleeding, diarrhea, and tissue damage. More than 750,000 North Americans have this disease (or it has them). It can be devastating. It can be deadly. Remission in ulcerative colitis is often difficult to achieve and maintain. We use powerful drugs to treat this disease, drugs that can cause serious side effects and may not stop its progression. But help is on the way. More to Consider in the Battle against Ulcerative Colitis explains, in layman's terms, what this disease is all about and offers suggestions on how to treat it more effectively than by drug therapy and little else. Here you will learn from the experiences of others who achieved remission in their struggle with this disease by the use of alternative and complementary measures. This book only exists because of the careful observations I have made, unique experiences that have come my way, and a lot of hard work and dedication. Eugene L. Heyden, RN###About the Author: Eugene L. Heyden, RN is a registered nurse with a wide variety of clinical experiences. His passions include medical research and patient education.

Advancing Women's Health Through Medical Education
Neither legalization of abortion nor scientific and political advances in contraception and abortion ensure that training and research in family planning are routinely integrated into medical education. Without integration, subsequent generations of healthcare professionals are not prepared to incorporate evidence-based family planning into their practices, teaching, or research. Omission of this crucial component prevents the cultural and professional normalization of an often stigmatized and embattled aspect of women's health. Taking the successful US-based Ryan and Family Planning Fellowship programs as templates for training, teaching, and academic leadership, this book describes the integration of family planning and pregnancy termination into curricula with an international outlook. With an evidence- and systems-based approach, the book is a unique and practical guide to inspire and train the next generation of healthcare professionals.

Starting Your Own Nurse Practitioner Business
Advance Practice Nurses are in high demand as community-based care becomes more and more urgent in our post-COVID world. At this critical time, the country is in dire need of APNs who can offer patient-centered, quality care and services - either in collaboration with a Physician or at their own clinics. Nurses have always risen to the challenge in a crisis. They have demonstrated time and again enormous courage and stamina. COVID-19 has impacted healthcare profoundly and, as family practices dwindle, nurses have once again been called to the rescue to provide services. But while APNs may be highly skilled professionals, as they venture out into the marketplace to start their own businesses, they may be in for a few surprises. Although they are masters at providing care to patients, opening a new business presents challenges that their extensive training and educational curriculum failed to prepare them for. Dr. Omolara Olaniyi, an NP in a family care practice for 17 years, opened her own business in 2017. While giving birth to her new venture, she hit some major obstacles that she had to overcome. Opening her new business became a baptism by fire. In this concise book, Dr. Olaniyi shares many of the triumphs, challenges and best practices she developed while turning her solo practice into a winning enterprise. Starting Your Own Nurse Practitioner Business covers issues NPs will face when they make the decision to go out on their own, including business plans, malpractice insurance, funding, EHR software, lab set-up, finding appropriate locations, hiring and retaining a talented work force, accountability and leadership. DR. OMOLARA OLANIYI has extensive clinical experience at healthcare institutions and ambulatory facilities. She has practiced for 17 years before opening her own business. She has been in the industry for over four decades. She had intense training in Nigeria as a Nurse/Midwife, and worked in this capacity for 12 years before coming to the States. Once here, she obtained her BSN and MSN. She later obtained a PhD in Nursing (Leadership).

Guide to Psychiatry: Singapore Perspective (16th Revision)
This Guide to Psychiatry - Singapore Perspective is the 16th revision of the original series of "Guide to Psychiatry" which has been revised and updated every two to three years since the early 1980s. It was originally meant for new doctors posted to Woodbridge Hospital/Institute of Mental Health. However, its distribution was extended later to colleagues, general practitioners, psychologists, medical students, allied mental health workers and interested others.Much of the subject matter derives from five decades of personal clinical experience and thoughts and may be unorthodox. The current publication or version remains a guide to appreciation of psychiatry and management of local patients. Attempts are made to explain concepts, development, issues, ambiguities and principles that are commonly confronted and confusing to beginners. Analogies are freely used to aid understanding. As mentioned in earlier revisions, it does not fulfil the role of a textbook of which many have been written. Nevertheless, this little book could be read over and again with benefit by training psychiatrists, medical doctors and students and other mental health workers.

Psychological Aspects in time of Pandemic
After the very positive reception to the article entitled "Cual es el papel del psic籀logo ante el nuevo Coronavirus?" ("What is the role of psychology in the face of the new Coronavirus?") published in La C獺tedra Abierta de Psicol籀gia y Neurociencias on 12th February 2020, and the general interest evoked amongst fellow psychologists and other people with an interest in psychology, I have decided to produce this book, which addresses the subject of the psychological perspective in times of a pandemic.

This book will talk about value, subscription fatigue, building trust, and doing the little things and the extra touches that may save you a lot of money and heartache in the long run. Some of the things you will learn by reading Slowing the Churn in Direct Primary Care (While Also Keeping Your Sanity): -How and why to analyze why patients are churning through your practice -Why some patients are not for you-Why hedonistic adaptation is affecting your practice -The traps of email and texting-How to create a community around your practice -The four agreements of DPC -You are not an imposter

Camberwell Assessment of Need for Adults with Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities
The Camberwell Assessment of Need for adults with Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities (CANDID) is a widely used tool for the assessment of health and social needs of people with intellectual disabilities and mental health problems. It uses the assessment approach adopted by CAN, the world's leading mental health needs assessment measure. Two versions of the CANDID are available: CANDID-S (short version) and CANDID-R (research version). Both versions are aimed at researchers and practitioners working with people with intellectual disabilities, and are suitable for clinical use in community and hospital-based services. Fully updated based on current policy, practice and terminology, this second edition introduces a more intuitive need rating system and an accessible rating algorithm. Guidance on how to use the measures is provided, as well as an overview of research developments since the first edition. The assessment forms are freely available to download from the CAN website (researchintorecovery.com/can) and cambridge.org.

Depression Wears Lipstick
Depression Wears Lipstick was birthed out of my desire to see myself healthy, happy and whole. I believe that depression is real and if you do not take the time to help yourself, it can be a dangerous and unfulfilling time of your life. I went through a period in my life where I was silently hurting in the church. I would attend service every Sunday, sing in the choir and participate in various ministries, but I was slowly dying inside. After failed attempts of reaching out to the church, I was faced with my painful past. It was not until I sought out professional help, while learning to fight for who God made me to be, that I was able to pull myself from the grave. Depression Wears Lipstick tackles mental health in a way that makes you think and act on becoming better. You will follow the journey of Toi Nichelle as she methodically explores where her depression started, her suicidal attempts, when she decided to take action, and how she fought her way through. It is desired that this book will help those individuals who may be experiencing depression, but too afraid to acknowledge it. This book serves as an outlet for the depressed, broken, abused and silenced.

Origins of Human Socialization
Origins of Human Socialization introduces a new concept on the origins of basic human instinct. The book combines the three disciplinary approaches, including neuroscience, paleoanthropology and developmental psychology as an intertwined foundation for prosocial behavior. It argues that humans have the basic brain mechanisms for prosocial activity, offering new insights into more sophisticated social behavior. It also examines both visual and auditory systems in both humans and animals to explain the evolution of social interactions. Written by world-renowned researcher Dr. Donald Pfaff, this book is the first to explore why we have basic social instinct and how it works. For centuries, researchers have argued over the foundations of human behavior in society. Anthropologists point to transitions from hunter/gathers to urban dwellers leading to human domestication. Developmental psychologists highlight social competences in babies. Neuroscientists focus on specific genetic and neurochemical mechanisms that attribute to social behavior. This book brings all of these important areas together in an interdisciplinary approach that helps readers understand how they are linked.
