National Academies Press The U.S. Commitment to Global Health Recommendations for the Public and Private Sectors
Book SynopsisHealth is a highly valued, visible, and concrete investment that has the power to both save lives and enhance the credibility of the United States in the eyes of the world. While the United States has made a major commitment to global health, there remains a wide gap between existing knowledge and tools that could improve health if applied universally, and the utilization of these known tools across the globe. The U.S. Commitment to Global Health concludes that the U.S. government and U.S.-based foundations, universities, nongovernmental organizations, and commercial entities have an opportunity to improve global health. The book includes recommendations that these U.S. institutions * increase the utilization of existing interventions to achieve significant health gains; * generate and share knowledge to address prevalent health problems in disadvantaged countries; * invest in people, institutions, and capacity building with global partners; * increase the quantity and quality of U.S. Table of Contents1 Front Matter; 2 Summary; 3 1 Introduction; 4 2 Scale Up Existing Interventions to Achieve Significant Health Gains; 5 3 Generate and Share Knowledge to Address Health Problems Endemic to the Global Poor; 6 4 Invest in People, Institutions, and Capacity Building with Global Partners; 7 5 Increase U.S. Financial Commitments to Global Health; 8 6 Set the Example of Engaging in Respectful Partnerships; 9 7 Call to Action; 10 Appendix A: Statement of Task; 11 Appendix B: Committee Biographies; 12 Appendix C: Public Committee Meeting Agendas; 13 Appendix D: Working Group Meeting Agendas; 14 Appendix E: Commissioned Paper: Global Health Governance Report--Lawrence O.

Lippincott Williams and Wilkins Epidemiology in Medicine
Book SynopsisEpidemiology is the simplest and most direct method of studying the causes of disease in humans, and many major contributions have been made by studies that have demanded nothing more than the ability to count, to think logically, and to have an imaginative idea. With the accumulation of knowledge, however, its has become harder for individuals working alone to make effective contributions, and epidemiological research is becoming increasingly a matter of teamwork, not only because of the large number of people that may have to be studied and the large amount of data that have to be collected and analyzed, but also because of the need to bring together for the design and conduct of the study clinical experience, biological understanding, statistical expertise, and many other special skills that vary from one study to another. But if, in this sense, epidemiological research is becoming more complex, the core of the subject remains essentially simple, and a good epidemiological study sho

Taylor & Francis Ltd Improving Womens Health Across the Lifespan
Book SynopsisThe book is an evidence-based source of information on women's health issues for health professionals already practicing lifestyle medicine, as well as an entry level textbook for those new to the field of lifestyle medicine. The collective expertise of each of the editors along with content provided by leaders within the American College of Lifestyle Medicine fills a much-needed void within the specialty of Lifestyle Medicine and is for providers of women's health globally.Trade Review"This women's health book is evidence based and comprehensive. There is nothing like it. Women need up to date information about physical activity, nutrition, sleep, stress resilience, social connection and substance use. In addition, there is a desire to better understand the power of these pillars throughout a woman's life including pregnancy, menopause and the golden years. This book fills that need." Elizabeth Pegg Frates, MD, DipABLM, FACLM, President Elect of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine"Healthy aging begins at pre-conception. Evidence overwhelmingly shows that it’s we women who—through our lifestyle behavior choices—can take far greater control of our own health destinies, as well as the health destinies of our children and generations to come. We cannot underestimate the power of what we eat, how we move, and what we think in regard to our optimal health or lack thereof. This book is a must-read for all medical professionals!" Susan Benigas, Executive Director of the American College of Lifestyle MedicineLifestyle Medicine is the science of taking core principles and customizing how they're applied to each individual and each situation to achieve positive health behavior change. This book sets the evidence based foundation for how that process happens, and why it needs to happen, with the most important segment of health consumers - women. It is the next for all who are passionate about changing how health care is delivered." Wayne S. Dysinger, MD, MPH, Physician, Founder and Chair, Lifestyle Medical“Lifestyle factors have a powerful role in chronic disease prevention, underscoring the profound control we have over our health. Improving Women’s Health Across the Lifespan applies lifestyle medicine to women’s health, empowering women and their clinicians with the tools to transform their lives, and fostering a legacy of health for future generations.” JoAnn E.

Taylor & Francis Climate Change and Urban Health The Case of Hong
Book SynopsisThis book provides a theoretical framework and related technical skills for investigating climate change and its public health consequences and responses with a focus on urban settings, and in particular Hong Kong, a subtropical metropolis in Asia. Specifically, the book examines the impact of climate change on health in terms of mortality, hospital admissions and help-seeking, as well as key response strategies of adaptation and mitigation. Many existing books tend to consider the relationship of climate change and public health as two connected issues divided into various discrete topics. Conversely, this book explicitly applies public health concepts to study the human impact of climate change, for example, by conceptualising climate change impact and its alleviation, mitigation and adaptation in a public health framework. Overall, this volume summarises what is known about climate change and health and ignites further debates in the area, especially for urban subtropical communities from within a wider global perspective. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of environmental health, public health, climate change, urban studies and Asian studies.Table of Contents1. Introduction 2. Principles of Health, Public Health and Climate Change 3. Climate Change Impact on Disease and Health 4.Climate Change and Disasters 5. Research Methodology I: Climate and Health Outcome Modelling 6.

Cambridge University Press Epidemic Modelling An Introduction 15 Cambridge
Book SynopsisThis general introduction to the ideas and techniques required for the mathematical modelling of diseases begins with an outline of some disease statistics dating from Daniel Bernoulli's 1760 smallpox data. The authors then describe simple deterministic and stochastic models in continuous and discrete time for epidemics taking place in either homogeneous or stratified (non-homogeneous) populations. Several techniques for constructing and analysing models are provided, mostly in the context of viral and bacterial diseases of human populations. These models are contrasted with models for rumours and vector-borne diseases like malaria. Questions of fitting data to models, and their use in understanding methods for controlling the spread of infection, are discussed. Exercises and complementary results at the end of each chapter extend the scope of the text, which will be useful for students taking courses in mathematical biology who have some basic knowledge of probability and statistics.Trade Review'… It gives an excellent general introduction to epidemic modelling, starting with an interesting historical account and then describing the most important and useful models which can be used.' Robert MacMillan, Mathematical Gazette'The book will be accessible … and its study highly rewarding, to anyone with an interest in epidemic models…' V. S. Isham, Short Book Reviews'Daley and Gani's monograph is a concise and useful presentation of a variety of epidemiological models.'

Mengersen, The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Statistics'… the book is clear and well written … could serve as course literature for graduate, or possibly last year undergraduate, course in epidemic modelling.' Statistics in Medicine'I found the book very clear, concise and useful … I recommend the book very strongly as a teaching tool and as a research tool to academics and scientists who are interested in epidemic modeling. I also strongly recommend the book to applied mathematicians who are intetrested in stochastic models in general.' Mathematics TodayTable of ContentsPreface; 1. Some history; 2.

University of Pittsburgh Press The Lung Block
Book SynopsisPublic health, housing, poverty, and immigration dominated social and political discourse in early twentieth-century New York, much as they do today. The Lower East Side provided an urban environment where infectious disease and other public health concerns flourished. One city block in particular, known in muckraking circles as The Lung Block, housed four thousand first- and second-generation Americans in dilapidated tenements where deadly tuberculosis spread uninhibited. The Lung Block looks at a 1903 reform crusade to demolish this working-class tenement neighborhood and replace it with a park. Progressive reformers aimed to confront the area's moral and environmental dangers, but their conceptualization of the problem and methods for addressing it placed them into direct conflict with the hand-to-mouth priorities of the residents. The campaign and its eventual failure illuminate the formidable social barriers distancing urban reformers and the marginalized populations they intend t
