Review Cancer in Africa (I a R C Scientific Publication) / Oxford University Press, USA:Data on cancer patterns in Africa are sparse, but the considerable effort which has gone into fostering the development of population-based cancer registration in the continent is now bearing fruit. Many of the registries are too recently-established to have submitted data for the book Cancer Incidence in Five Continents, Volume VII, and it will only be possible for a small minority to achieve such publication due to the circumstances in which they work, with poor medical infrastructure and limited access thereto. Nonetheless, the data they are producing give a unique insight into cancer patterns in the continent and this publication helps analyse and disseminate information on cancer occurence worldwide for the purposes of epidemiological research and cancer control. L Tables of incidence or relative frequency for cancer registries providing data are presented. Country profiles, with a review of cancer patterns by country/area based on analyzed data and published material, and 19 cancer sites and childhood cancer are presented. National estimates of incidence and mortality are updated to 1995.

Review Antimicrobial Peptides in Human Health and Disease / Taylor & Francis:This book represents a cutting edge summary of one of the most important fields in innate immunity. Antimicrobial peptides rapidly and directly inhibit infection by microbes and are of enormous importance in the body's natural defense against disease. In addition, the role of antimicrobial peptides in the development of therapeutic agents for the prevention and treatment of disease is becoming increasingly important. Written by the leaders in the field this book provides an understanding of the implications of antimicrobial peptides in human disease. The volume is divided into sections containing reviews of specific families of antimicrobials, select organ systems that have demonstrated a relevance for antimicrobial peptides and, in addition, a more global discussion of these peptides and organs from distinct perspectives. Alternatively, each chapter can stand on its own, providing the reader with the ability to dive right into the subject of most interest. Topics covered include cathelicidins, alpha and beta defensins, granulysin, hepcidin, the role of antimicrobial peptides in blood, gut, skin, lung and in the oral environment. A recurring theme is the possibility of creating therapeutics that induce the expression of endogenous antimicrobial peptides for the prevention or treatment of disease.

Review Total Quality Management in Human Service Organizations (SAGE Human Services Guides) / Sage Publications, Inc:Now that business, government, and other fields are embracing Total Quality Management (TQM) as their management philosphy, TQM may also hold the solution for problems that exist in human services organizations today. After a brief history of TQM, the author discusses the philosophy of management, quality as an organizational goal, the challenges of determining an organization's customers, and collecting and using customer quality data. He also describes how to achieve quality improvement through teamwork and shows how to use brainstorming, cause and effect diagrams, check sheets, and pareto analysis. Among the other topics examined are contractor involvement, training top management personnel, training middle managers and staff, and selecting an implementation strategy. All the examples used in this volume are drawn from the fields of public administration, gerontology, public health, and management of nonprofit organizations. Total Quality Management in Human Service Organizations is a good "backgrounder" for human service administrators and organizations prior to undergoing a more detailed agency discussion of, or training in, TQM. It is also of great value to students and faculty in social work administration programs who are interested in the basics of TQM.

Review Environmental Health Risk III (The Sustainable World) / WIT Press (UK):The efforts of modern civilization to create an environment to meet human aspirations have successfully resulted in constant improvements of our lifestyle, but at the cost of increased risks to human health due to deterioration of the environment. This situation has motivated many scientists throughout the world to analyze the environmental factors that can affect our health and to calculate the levels of risk. Risks that are found to be unacceptably high require immediate action. However, it is not always straightforward to estimate all possible scenarios and further research is needed. This book comprises a series of papers presented at the Third International Conference on the Impact of Environmental Factors on Health, divided into the following topic areas: Water Quality Issues; Air Pollution; Radiation Fields; Accident and Man-Made Risks; Risk Analysis; Emergency Response; Food Contamination; Electromagnetic Fields; Noise Pollution; Housing and Health; Occupational Health; Chemical Risk Assessment; Remediation; Social and Economic Issues; Education; and Ecotoxicology Studies.

Review Reinventing the Patient Experience: Strategies for Hospital Leaders / Health Administration Press:Are you proud of the patient experience your hospital provides? Are you confident that your hospital is the provider of choice in your community? Does your hospital provide the experience you would want for your family members or friends if they were hospitalized? The emerging age of consumerism in healthcare is forcing hospitals to reexamine their traditional practices and provide greater sensitivity and responsiveness to patient preferences. Conventional customer service training is no longer enough. Reinventing the Patient Experience provides the advice and inspiration you need to make significant changes in the way your patients experience care in your hospital. The book draws lessons from the experiences of hospitals considered innovators in patient-centered care. This diverse group of organizations illustrates how integrating "high touch" and "high tech" care is possible at hospitals of all types and sizes. You will learn what strategies they put in place, what barriers they faced, how they moved past roadblocks, and what their keys to success were. Leaders from these pioneering organizations share how they tackled various implementation and operational issues in the areas of physical environment, nursing services, complementary therapies, spirituality, leadership, and sustainability. Explore these four components of patient-focused care: * Designing facilities to minimize stress, support family involvement, and remove physical barriers between nurses and patients * Emphasizing a personalized relationship between nurses and patients, with more "hands-on" care provided by nurses at the bedside * Increasing the availability and use of complementary therapies in an inpatient setting to meet the general increase in patient demand for these therapies * Moving beyond the traditional role of the hospital chaplain and training hospital staff to provide spiritual support for patients and family members.
