Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Although shaped primarily according to the economic and social structures of countries, basic health services aim to provide equal and accessible health services to everyone. While the public health discipline is involved in the planning and supervising of basic health services, the family medicine discipline is directly responsible for ensuring the implementation of these services. These disciplines must cooperate and coordinate to provide organized and effective basic health services. More importantly, health and social policies should be structured in accordance with the prioritized needs of countries. The basic health needs of countries are directly related to the economic and social structures of those countries. For this reason, it is not possible to talk about a globally structured basic health service that has definite boundaries and can be applied to every country. The main objective is to protect and improve health. Governments must create appropriate health policies. As in every field, basic health services are shaped according to the era and their scope changes. However, the basic principle in every age is to provide equal and free health care services to those in need. This book aims to inform the reader about the scope and applications of basic health services.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The book presents five chapters related to the ecology of avian diseases, the recently emerged branch of avian ecology, veterinary medicine, human medicine virology and parasitology. It is, therefore, a multidisciplinary book. It advances studies on the ecology of avian epizootic diseases. Two case studies are presented: one from Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the other from Tibet in China. Both studies focus on relationships between birds, humans, microbiota and environment. The avian influenza is the main object of this study. It is a viral disease mainly affecting waterbirds, but it has been transmitted to humans in recent years and has caused serious health problems. The book shows how the disease emerged from its original site in the lake in Tibet and how it spread worldwide. The study from Kinshasa focuses on the Malachite Kingfisher and a few other bird species. This is a good example of a holistic approach to the problems linked to avian diseases, the ecology of birds (site fidelity, timing of breeding, breeding success, diet), microbiota, parasites and human health. The study also turns attention to birds as good indicators of environmental quality. A separate chapter deals with these aspects of hematology, which are relevant to avian diseases. Special attention is paid to factors influencing fluctuations in hematocrit levels of birds in relation to their age, sex, season of the year, physiological indices (metabolism, energetics), breeding status, parasites, season of the year, and altitude of inhabited area. Blood elements such as erythrocytes, granulocytes (heterophils, granulocytes, eosinophils and basophils), and agranulocytes (monocytes, lymphocytes, thrombocytes) are compared between 14 selected bird species from different parts of the world. These parameters are essential for health monitoring (critical early warning markers of stress, disease, and malnourishment in bird populations). This book targets a broad audience of ecologists, ornithologists, students of zoonotic diseases, and researchers in veterinary and human medicine.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 94 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Access to healthcare is a straightforward concept: either we can receive high-quality healthcare when needed, or we cannot. While this concept is simple, reality is much more complex. Many people cannot afford good healthcare, even if they have health insurance. Others live in areas where vaccines, doctors, hospitals, and other health services are in short supply, and these supply constraints continue to grow. Still, others find it hard to make appointments for care, especially if they must travel long distances or miss work to attend those appointments. The inability to accommodate patient needs has been problematic for decades, and sometimes for much longer, in many parts of the world. In this book, authors from around the globe describe innovative approaches for improving access to health care. Their entrepreneurial spirit, knowledge, and sheer grit in the face of complex challenges are admirable and demonstrable. Policymakers, healthcare providers, payers, and patients will find valuable insights and actionable strategies in this volume for addressing access barriers and ensuring timely care. Readers are encouraged to explore these and other groundbreaking approaches, using the lessons learned here to improve healthcare access and enhance lives worldwide.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 180 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -When diseases occur in a human population at higher than expected levels, those diseases are said to be 'epidemic.' Animals also experience outbreaks at levels greater than expected, and when that happens, it is called 'epizootic'. There have been several very large epizootics in recent years, with one of the biggest being the West Nile virus expansion into the Americas. This caused significant bird mortality, and it expanded into the human population as well. The effect of epizootics on human health is, therefore, of great importance. Still, epizootics can be extremely important even if humans are unaffected. This book describes several recent epizootics, discusses why they occurred, and what kind of response may be necessary.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 178 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Fungal biodiversity is among the most threatened on the planet due to ongoing climate change, which is often overlooked. As one of the largest established kingdoms, fungi still have an incomplete species list, and many species will likely disappear before they are even discovered. The world is training fewer and fewer mycological taxonomists, slowing down the collection of fundamental information and research on this group. One solution is to bring together experts to compile and update bibliographies with revised information on various aspects of mycology. This work was undertaken to address topics such as taxonomy, biodiversity, and fungus-host relationships (including endophytes, phytopathogens, and mycorrhizae). The chapters bring together both classic themes and recent research advancements. This book aims to help bridge the significant knowledge gap regarding these often-overlooked yet essential organisms.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 172 pp. Englisch.
