Neonatal Airway Management
Intubation is one of the most performed procedures in neonatal medicine. The field of neonatal airway management has been transformed by many notable developments over the past 5-10 years. Most importantly, the use of pre-medication, video-laryngoscopy, and laryngeal masks have been the subject of numerous recent clinical investigations and academic publications. Despite ongoing research, neonatal airway management continues to carry a high risk of complications and both short and long-term morbidities. A comprehensive book on neonatal airway management has never been published. Hence, the proposed book fills an important niche in the healthcare literature. This book provides a comprehensive, state-of-the art review of neonatal airway management, and serves as a valuable resource for clinicians, educators, and researchers involved in neonatal care. The book reviews patient, practice, provider, and system factors important in neonatal airway management. Chapters explore key topic areas including airway management techniques, training, competency assessment, premedication, video laryngoscopy, laryngeal mask airway, and others.Written by experts in the field and including the most up-to-date scientific and clinical information, Neonatal Airway Management serves as a useful resource for physicians and researchers dealing with, and interested in, neonatal airway management. It provides a concise yet comprehensive summary of the current state of the field that helps guide patient management and stimulates investigative efforts.

Prolonged and Long-Term Mechanical Ventilation in Children
This book comprehensively reviews the concept, epidemiology, management strategy, possible therapy and future considerations of children requiring continuous ventilatory support. The chapters discuss both invasive and non-invasive therapy, and the transition from hospital to home ventilation, complications, management of tracheostomy and much more. The book offers insight into ways of reducing the number of children requiring mechanical ventilation and how to manage the complicated situation when it happens. As science advances, the population growth, lower mortality, and increasing complexity of diseases have boosted up the number of patients requiring prolonged breathing assistance with mechanical ventilators. However, there is a few cases in one center with children requiring such intensive care medicine, and so there is no agreed-upon management strategy. This book brings together information and experiences from around the world aiming to improve the quality of medical care and to create a foundation for a clear and effective guide to healthcare professionals. Prolonged and Long-Term Mechanical Ventilation in Children is edited by pioneering scientists and chapters are contributed by international experts. It is thought-provoking for pediatricians, general practitioners, family physicians, nurses and medical staff in pediatrics, pediatric pulmonologists, intensivists and many more associated with hospital and home ventilated cases. ​
Global One Health and Infectious Diseases
While many terms relate to One Health, the idea remains the same: to think outside a chosen area of specialty and work collaboratively as part of a team to improve health status around the world.

Collectively, these are the Global One Health practitioners. Through the lens of infectious disease, this book brings together the diverse range of topics necessary to be an effective global health practitioner at the intersection of human and animal health, particularly in developing countries. It explores what an aspiring or mid-career practitioner should be aware of when working with infectious diseases, including technical skills, cultural competency, capacity building, big data, and understanding the landscape and history of global health. Each chapter focuses on a specific area of necessary knowledge with background information, case examples, and resources to use moving forward.An important reference for upper-level undergraduate students, graduate students, and early practitioners in human, animal, and public health, this text highlights the competencies rather than focusing on the problems in Global One Health. It provides a blueprint of areas that the reader should pay attention to, particularly in the realm of infectious diseases.Chapter 13 'One Health Education, Training, and Capacity Building' is available to read Open Access at https: //www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781032140674.

The Care of Children
This book was originally published in 1894, and remains a valuable resource for any person responsible for the care of children in any era. The book stresses the importance of a child's strong emotional and physical well-being and provides practical advice on achieving the critical balance between the two. Topics covered include hygiene, nutrition, sleep, exercise, praise and discipline, development of self-esteem, and education.Elizabeth Robinson Scovil (1849-1934) was a prominent nurse and writer. She is considered one of the early American advocates for the rights of nurses, mothers and children - and for a fair acknowledgement of the critical role each plays in the honorable duty of caring for children.Ms. Scovil's most influential books are The Care of Children and Preparation for Motherhood. Her writings "so changed women's lives that when she traveled by train in British Columbia to attend a meeting of the National Council of Women, groups of women gathered at station platforms, calling her name so they could thank her for the gift of knowledge." (Scovil Obituary, Meadowlands: A Chronical of the Scovil Family).This book was edited by Jonathan D. Savage, Esq. and Mikesch Muecke, Ph.D.
Commonsense Childrearing
Can we raise healthy children in a toxic world?Yes, we can!Modern life, with its conveniences and technologies, has had mixed results. With great gains come also losses. For better or for worse, as certain types of knowledge have increased, others, which were not perhaps knowledge in the modern sense, but rather types of wisdom, which were once innate, have grown faint.Just as the wisdom of traditional diets faded and gave way to a haphazard, increasingly toxic, industrialized, "modern" diet-the hazardous results of which many are now waking up to-so, too, did older, likely innate wisdom for guiding a growing human being from birth through childhood and adolescence into adulthood all but vanish, with predictable results.It falls to those who are willing to step outside the box of today's widely unquestioned orthodoxies to honestly assess where we've come from, where we are, and how to go forward in ways that not only restore sanity (though that's a necessary first step), but also reclaim something of the wisdom of being human, but in new ways.While it's true that we can't go back to how things once were, wisdom is also possible going forward. A living, contemporary, and conscious approach to raising children, born of both commonsense and love, is both achievable and necessary. This is the path that Dr. Cowan outlines in this book.With friendly humor and out of his keen observation of children through the years, as a physician, a parent, grandparent, and friend, Dr. Cowan offers hope and guidance for the parents of today's youngest generation, that they may raise up a cohort of free, healthy, happy, caring human beings.While rearing children in the twenty-first century entails facing certain challenges that were either unknown or insignificant even a generation ago, Dr. Cowan demonstrates that the door is wide open to meet these challenges with new thinking and a renewed commitment to the sacredness of the growing human being.

Causal Inference and the People's Health
An essential introduction to concepts of causation and causal inference that explores how our definitions of causes in epidemiology influence how we go about finding them and estimating their effects. A key goal of epidemiologic research is to uncover the causes of diseases and other health-related outcomes. But exactly what we mean by a "cause" and what types of phenomena qualify as causes, differ across historical periods, and is a contentious topic. The causal status of social phenomena has been, and continues to be, particularly precarious. In Causal Inference and the People's Health, Sharon Schwartz and Seth J. Prins offer both a synthesis of the dominant school of thought around causality and propose an approach that keeps causal concepts as an organizing principle without marginalizing social phenomena. The authors examine the implications of the "Causal Revolution,"--introduced in epidemiology as the Potential Outcomes framework--which initiated a paradigm shift across the social sciences. As the authors show, this shift influences the questions we ask, the methods we use, the narratives we construct about our study results, and thus the knowledge we use to fight for the people's health. The guiding principle of the Causal Revolution is simple but profound: researchers should specify if their goal is description, prediction, or causation. In other words, researchers should declare their causal goals even for observational studies. This principle not only produced important innovations, but it also reignited debates about the definition of causation, the causal status of important social constructs like class and gender, and the role of manipulation or intervention in causal inference. Interrogating these debates and embracing causal questions that identify and explain etiologic processes, Causal Inference and the People's Health offers a path forward that expands causal inference to include social forces as causes of the people's health, and therefore reinvigorates epidemiology's historical role in targeting systems and structures for change.

The Body Talks Back
A powerful story that shines a light on the relationship we each have with our own body. In modern societies, where many of us are figuratively disconnected from our body at the neck, mostly absorbed in our thoughts, this insightful memoir explores the healing nature of reconnecting our minds with our bodies. The Body Talks Back gives readers an intimate, raw portrayal of how health crises can place us at the mercy of doctors' decisions and invasive procedures, while also gracefully finding the silver lining in these experiences. By building healthy relationships with our emotions and body, we can develop a deeper sense of connection with ourselves and adopt a more nurturing stance toward our body. Especially during times of illness, this allows us to work with our body, rather than feeling betrayed by it. The result is an extraordinary peace of mind that can be garnered irrespective of our physical experiences. While Sherrie Laryse weaves insights from neuroscience as well as philosophical ideas around consciousness and the mind-body connection, ultimately, The Body Talks Back is a beautiful love story.

The Badge of Distinction Volume 2
Volume 2 of a 2-volume set, The Badge of Distinction refers to the way we all hope to be judged by our patients and colleagues who observe our work over the years.Volume 1 presents a manuscript about everyday dental problems and solutions, with valuable contributions from some world-leading clinicians and researchers.Volume 2 is a description of the new directions in which our dental profession is moving. The days of drill, fill, and bill are numbered, and our profession is now recognized, at last, as playing a vital role in systemic health.The book deals with pain with a broad perspective, non-odontogenic oral pain, headaches, orofacial pain, temporomandibular disorders, myofascial pain and dysfunction, practical splint and orthotic design and use, ankyloglossia and tethered tissue diagnosis and management, myofunctional therapy, airway assessment, management and referral, sleep-disordered breathing, obstructive sleep apnoea, and the creation of a network of allied health professionals.We are the sentinels of the airway.This is my legacy to the dental profession and allied health professionals after over 50 years of practice. I hope it is of use to all levels of professional experience, and it represents my view that professional knowledge and experience needs to spread to the world for the benefit of all, and not taken to the grave.
