НЕЗАКОННОЕ ПОТРЕБЛЕНИЕ НАРКОТИЧЕСКИХ СРЕДСТВ, ПСИХОТРОПНЫХ ВЕЩЕСТВ, ИХ АНАЛОГОВ ПРИЧИНЯЕТ ВРЕД ЗДОРОВЬЮ, ИХ НЕЗАКОННЫЙ ОБОРОТ ЗАПРЕЩЕН И ВЛЕЧЕТ УСТАНОВЛЕННУЮ ЗАКОНОДАТЕЛЬСТВОМ ОТВЕТСТВЕННОСТЬ Институт имени Сербского (в простонародье «Серпы») – самое главное и, в то же время, самое закрытое экспертно-психиатрическое заведение нашей страны. В прошлом веке здесь было царство карательной психиатрии, ломающей судьбы диссидентов и инакомыслящих. Сейчас, конечно, времена изменились, но сотрудники Института по-прежнему не распространяются о порядках внутри их учреждения – хотя бы потому, что здесь, как и 100 лет назад, решаются судьбы людей, и доступ к такого рода информации априори должен быть ограничен. Автору книги удалось побывать в святая святых отечественной психиатрии, увидеть воочию тех, чья жизнь связана с «Серпами» (как ученых, так и больных), и понять, по каким именно принципам здесь решают – кому вернуться на волю, а кому отправиться гнить на веки вечные в тюрьму или психушку. Содержит нецензурную бр…

В соответствии с классификацией ВОЗ (1983), профилактика психических расстройств делится на первичную (профилактика возникновения психических расстройств), вторичную (их своевременное выявление и лечение) и третичную (профилактика тяжелых последствий психических расстройств). Эффективность психообразовательной работы и когнитивно-поведенческой терапии при тяжелых и стойких психических расстройствах нередко оценивается лишь как временная или преходящая. Эффективность мер первичной профилактики психических расстройств оценивается более оптимистично. Предполагается, что будущие исследования этиологии психических расстройств, проводимые с использованием методов эпидемиологического анализа, могут способствовать развитию дополнительных стратегий первичной профилактики. Эти усилия могут оказать помощь в перераспределении ресурсов и принятии мер государственной политики. Меры первичной профилактики психических расстройств охватывают не только просвещение населения в области психического здоровья и медицинскую пом…

In 1998 Professor Haïssaguerre and his colleagues made the initial observation in patients that triggering foci in or around the pulmonary veins initiate some types of atrial fibrillation. Since then it has become clear that atrial fibrillation and other atrial tachyarrhythmias can be initiated (and possibly maintained) by triggering foci in any of the thoracic veins. This concept is now one of the most current topics in electrophysiology, and while it is a topic of frequent discussion in the major cardiology and electrophysiology journals, Thoracic Vein Arrhythmias: Mechanisms and Treatment is the first state-of-the art multi-authored textbook that integrates the advances made in this rapidly developing new area of cardiac arrhythmias for the global community. Edited by Drs. Shih-Ann Chen, Michel Haïssaguerre, and Douglas P. Zipes, who are at the forefront of advances in this field of cardiology, and with contributions from authors representing an international array of authorities in their individual fi…

Accountability is a key concern for nurses and midwives in the NHS today. Professional accountability—being responsible for your actions and for the outcomes of these actions—is part of the framework of clinical governance, which aims to provide good quality, cost-effective, evidence-based care. The second edition of Accountability in Nursing and Midwifery addresses current issues and key concerns in accountability, focusing on accountability in the four main branches of nursing (adult, child, learning disabilities and mental health), as well as in midwifery, community nursing, and nursing management. In an increasingly litigious society, the ethical and legal implications of accountability are growing and it is important that nurses understand the implications for everyday practice.

Even though primary and community care managers face the same challenges as their hospital counterparts they’ve never had an equivalent range of methods for evaluating workforce size and mix. So this book aims to set the record straight by explaining community demand and supply side workforce planning and development. Eight chapters set out the main variables, from dependency and workload, activity and performance, staff education, recruitment and retention, before the most recent data are synthesised into a set of software-supported algorithms that managers can easily adopt. The book and software enable readers to not only compare their organisations with those in the same socio-economic group but also against ‘best-practice’ staffing and performance. Both help managers determine if their stock of workers is equitable, efficient and effective. Finally, a large annotated bibliography helps users locate relevant publications, and readers should look out for workshops in 2006 designed take them through the …

Сегодня трудно найти разумного человека, которого не интересовали бы проблемы собственного здоровья и состояние здравоохранения в своем ареале и за его пределами. И еще труднее найти взрослого человека, который бы не рассказал, как можно организовать эффективное функционирование системы здравоохранения, который не был бы уверен, что здравоохранение у нас только имеет проблемы, а где-то в другой стране беспроблемно развивается. Авторы монографии на примере Республики Башкортостан проанализировали большой и сложный путь, которую прошла система здравоохранения в процессе институциональных изменений в стране, направленных, сначала на строительство социализма, затем на обеспечение перехода социализма к новому, более совершенному его этапу, которое впоследствии было подменено целью возвращения общества и его системы здравоохранения в лоно капиталистических отношений. По результатам своих исследований, авторы пришли к выводу о том, что в самых разных ситуациях здравоохранение в стране в целом, и в Республике Баш…

Metabolism at a Glance is a complete review course of metabolism in health and disease and offers a unique approach to the study of this difficult discipline. Metabolism is a complicated subject involving complex molecules and interrelated pathways. These metabolic pathways are usually taught separately with the result that the student develops a detailed but compartmentalised approach to metabolism and frequently fails to see the overall picture and its physiological significance. Using the at a Glance format, the book takes the student through a complete course in intermediary metabolism in an integrated manner. The same chart is repeated throughout the book with the individual pathway under study highlighted. The book is an ideal text for introductory biochemistry courses and has established itself as an enormously popular book amongst lecturers and students alike. This third edition is fully updated and includes five new chapters to mirror those topics currently taught at undergraduate level: 1. Metab…
