Adjuvant Medical Care

Adjuvant Medical Care

Despite tremendous gains in medical knowledge most conditions are managed rather than cured by medications. As a result countless patients seek supplemental modes of care to better control their symptoms and conditions to improve their overall wellbeing. This reality spotlights the need for adjuvant medical procedures. Adjuvant medical care refers to any supportive therapy that enhances the outcome of medical measures already in place. Adjuvant care does not replace primary or traditional treatments but instead serves as add-on care to the initial medical treatment plan prescribed by a health care provider. The addition of one or more non-prescription therapies (e. g. nutritional support over-the-counter remedies home care dietary measures supplements etc. ) to the primary medical management regimen has become increasingly popular and mainstream thanks to scientific studies that have documented favorable outcomes for many patients. The verifiable scientific merit of these additional medical options demonstrates their usefulness in the treatment of many medical conditions. The purpose of this handbook is to provide support to doctors and patients who are interested in safe and effective non-prescription and non-pharmacological medical therapies for specific conditions to minimize symptoms and optimize recovery and quality of life. • Helps doctors and patients discover additional therapies that can reduce pain advance health outcomes minimize complications and disability and extend life. • Presents safe reliable and practical options that are available to reduce symptoms maximize recovery and positively augment the management of a variety of conditions. • Provides medical insight into less traditional yet often effective supportive options for enhancing and optimizing patient response to care. This book is a valuable resource for both doctors and patients who are committed to achieving the best possible medical outcomes through a variety of coordinated approaches.

Vitreoretinal Disorders in Primary Care

Vitreoretinal Disorders in Primary Care

Correct diagnosis at initial presentation and appropriate and speedy referral are extremely important. This book is therefore an essential reference for the primary care physician who is often the first to see these patients and is in a position of responsibility for decision-making. | Vitreoretinal Disorders in Primary Care

Veterinary Nursing Care Plans Theory and Practice

Veterinary Nursing Care Plans Theory and Practice

This book is the first veterinary textbook dedicated to nursing care plans. It offers a broad overview of the theory and practice of care planning in veterinary nursing answering three key questions: What are nursing care plans? Why should nursing care plans be used in practice? How should nursing care plans be used in practice? Author Helen Ballantyne provides basic definitions and explanations which will be useful to those unfamiliar with nursing care plans. For those veterinary nurses and technicians who are using nursing care plans the content stimulates debate and discussion by covering some of the philosophical and theoretical aspects of nursing and drawing comparisons and contrasts between the veterinary and human nursing roles and contexts. There is a pressing need for veterinary nurses to establish themselves as professionals and develop their unique role within the veterinary care team. Nursing care plans are a core tool to support that development. It is hoped that veterinary nurses may borrow tools from the pages of this book or use it as a resource design their unique care plans: either way this practical guide will support the application of care planning no matter the species of the animal kingdom for whom you are caring. | Veterinary Nursing Care Plans Theory and Practice

Primary Health Care and Population Mortality

Primary Health Care and Population Mortality

Population health management is being increasingly adopted by health systems yet the importance of primary health care in influencing population mortality and the mechanisms that explain it are not well understood. Too often primary health care is regarded as a service for minor health problems and for managing access to secondary care. This limited view is no longer tenable and it is time to be much more ambitious about the place of primary health care in health systems worldwide. In delivering and planning health care and in re-building health systems after the pandemic practitioners and policymakers in low- middle- and high-income countries need evidence on how primary health care affects population mortality and practical advice to effect change. Primary Health Care and Population Mortality fulfils this need. Drawing on his long experience as both a practitioner and researcher the author Richard Baker describes how primary health is crucial to the effect of health systems on population mortality including its potential for reducing inequalities in mortality. This accessible new book will provide invaluable information to leaders in service development and delivery academics in primary health care and those working within international organisations that are promoting primary health care for improving population health. It will also be of practical value to general practitioners primary health care nurses and managers and public health staff.

Reconsidering Dementia Narratives Empathy Identity and Care

Reconsidering Dementia Narratives Empathy Identity and Care

Reconsidering Dementia Narratives explores the role of narrative in developing new ways of understanding interacting with and caring for people with dementia. It asks how the stories we tell about dementia – in fiction life writing and film – both reflect and shape the way we think about this important condition. Highlighting the need to attend to embodied and relational aspects of identity in dementia the study further outlines ways in which narratives may contribute to dementia care while disputing the idea that the modes of empathy fostered by narrative necessarily bring about more humane care practices. This cross-medial analysis represents an interdisciplinary approach to dementia narratives which range across auto/biography graphic narrative novel film documentary and collaborative storytelling practices. The book aims to clarify the limits and affordances of narrative and narrative studies in relation to an ethically driven medical humanities agenda through the use of case studies. Answering the key question of whether dementia narratives align with or run counter to the dominant discourse of dementia as ‘loss of self’ this innovative book will be of interest to anyone interested in dementia studies ageing studies narrative studies in health care and critical medical humanities. | Reconsidering Dementia Narratives Empathy Identity and Care

Primary Care Nutrition Writing the Nutrition Prescription

Primary Care Nutrition Writing the Nutrition Prescription

This book contains the necessary knowledge and tools to incorporate nutrition into primary care practice. As a practical matter this effort is led by a dedicated primary care physician with the help of motivated registered dietitians nurses psychologists physical therapists and office staff whether within a known practice or by referral to the community. It is essential that the nutrition prescription provided by the physician be as efficient as possible. While many team members have superior knowledge in the areas of nutrition exercise and psychology the health practitioner remains the focus of patient confidence in a therapy plan. Therefore the endorsement of the plan rather than the implementation of the plan is the most important task of the physician. This book proposes a significant change in attitude of primary health care providers in terms of the power of nutrition in prevention and treatment of common disease. It features detailed and referenced information on the role of nutrition in the most common conditions encountered in primary care practice. In the past treatment focused primarily on drugs and surgery for the treatment of disease with nutrition as an afterthought. Advanced technologies and drugs are effective for the treatment of acute disease but many of the most common diseases such as heart disease diabetes and cancer are not preventable with drugs and surgery. While there is mention of prevention of heart disease this largely relates to the use of statins with some modest discussion of a healthy diet. Similarly prevention of type 2 diabetes is the early introduction of metformin or intensive insulin therapy. | Primary Care Nutrition Writing the Nutrition Prescription
