Is there health hazards of using Nano particles in Medicine & drug delivery?
http://www.bautforum.com/showthread.php?p=1016858#post1016858
Nanotechnology, now at the leading edge of rapid development with many potential human health benefits, is perceived with apprehension for potential human health risks. Enhanced strength, durability, flexibility, performance, and inimitable physical properties associated with these materials has been exploited in a multitude of industries and treatment modalities including detection of tumors, targeted drug delivery, and prognostic visual monitoring of therapy. With these applications, unprecedented avenues of exposure to nanoparticles (NPs) in humans are likely. Ambient and workplace exposures in combination with other toxic agents may cause unpredictable adverse health effects. Failure to address these imminent human health issues in a cohesive and concerted manner by industry, academia, government, environmentalists, and scientists may lead to detrimental health effects caused by exposure to NPs.
In addition to occupational exposure, direct human exposures through medicinal applications and ambient air pollution are a major concern. Inhaled NPs may evade phagocytosis, cross cell membranes, and redistribute to other sites of the body, causing systemic health effects. Therefore, the unbridled growth and use of nanotechnology in medical and human health evaluations opens society to the possibility that NPs could become the “asbestos” of the 21st century.

Alternative Medicine and Ethics $3.94 Leading bioethicists and philosophers examine and debate the question of how the health care system should deal with using complimentary and alternative medicines. The distinguished authorities writing here both defend and criticize alternative medicine, with some arguing that the medical system should change substantially in order to accommodate alternative medicine, and others claiming that virtually all alternative treatments are worthless. In the heat of the debate many fundamental issues are raised concerning our health care system, among them the questions of therapeutic effectiveness, media truthfulness, the patient’s freedom to choose among treatment options, health insurance coverage, the ability of the current healthcare delivery system to meet patients’ needs, and government approval of alternative medicines. |

Birth Chairs, Midwives, and Medicine $31.25 There was a time when birth was treated as a natural process rather than a medical condition. Before 1800, women gave birth seated in birth chairs or on stools and were helped along by midwives. Then societal changes in attitudes toward women and the practice of medicine made birthing a province of the male-dominated medical profession. In "Birth Chairs, Midwives, and Medicine," Amanda Carson Banks examines the history of the birth chair and tells how this birthing device changed over time. Through photographs, artists’ renditions of births, interviews, and texts from midwives and early obstetricians, she creates an evolutionary picture of birthing practices and highlights the radical redefinition of birth that has occurred in the last two centuries. During the 1800s the change from a natural philosophy of birth to a medical one was partly a result of heightened understandings of anatomy and physiology. The medical profession was growing, and with it grew the awareness of the economic rewards of making delivery a specialized practice. In the background of the medical profession’s rise was the prevailing perception of women as fragile invalids. Gradually, midwives and birth chairs were relegated to rural and isolated settings. The popularity of birth chairs has seen a revival in the late twentieth century as the struggle between medical obstetrics and the alternative birth movement has grown. As Banks shows through her careful examination of the chairs themselves, these questions have been answered and reconsidered many times in human history. Using the artifacts from the home and medical office, Banks traces sweeping societal changes in the philosophy of how to bring life into the world. |

Cultural Competence in Sports Medicine $41.33 Cultural Competence in Sports Medicine is a must-have resource for any health care professional who works with athletes and patients of diverse cultural backgrounds. This unique text stresses the importance of recognizing different cultural attitudes, beliefs, and expectations so that athletic trainers and other health care professionals can modify their professional behavior accordingly to reflect their sensitivity to their patients’ needs, ultimately resulting in a comfortable and positive health care experience for patients. The need to provide behaviorally competent health care to diverse populations prompted the National Athletic Trainers’ Association to identify cultural awareness as a key competency for all certified athletic trainers, including entry-level athletic trainers. "Cultural Competence in Sports Medicine" supports this objective by defining the concept, explaining why it is important, and using examples specific to athletic trainers and other health professionals working with athletes. The text covers the various cultural competence theories and models, including the process of cultural competence in the delivery of health care services, which serves as a foundational model for the remainder of the text. Because readers will need to understand their own biases before they can begin to change them, the text offers information on analyzing and assessing one’s own cultural attitudes and behaviors. Once readers are prepared with that cultural awareness, the text builds cultural knowledge about various racial and ethnic groups, including the origin of culture, common sensitivities and conditions, possible beliefs about illness and preventive healing practices, and providing symptom management and treatments. "Cultural Competence in Sports Medicine "also presents strategies for engaging in cross-cultural interactions. Readers will learn these factors: – Cultural considerations for each stage in the physical assessment process, including taking an oral history, inspecting, observing, and palpating – How to work through an interpreter to foster clear communication with athletes – The conventional dress code generally expected by different cultures to cultivate a professional atmosphere – Appropriate palpation techniques across cultures so athletes are comfortable with the type and degree of physical contact – The differences in acceptable interaction between male and female clients Activities throughout the text provide opportunities for students to apply their developing cultural awareness and related skills. Role-playing exercises help readers realize and understand their own cultural viewpoints, while thought-provoking "What Would You Do?" sections detail a cultural encounter and encourage the reader to reflect on the situation either individually or through in-class discussion. Each chapter also includes chapter objectives, interviews with professionals, review questi |

Marijuana and Medicine: Assessing the Science Base $13.95 The medical use of marijuana is surrounded by a cloud of social, political, and religious controversy, which obscures the facts that should be considered in the debate. This book summarizes what we know about marijuana from evidence-based medicine — the harm it may do and the relief it may bring to patients. The book helps the reader understand not only what science has to say about medical marijuana but also the logic behind the scientific conclusions. Medical Use of Marijuana addresses the science base and the therapeutic effects of marijuana use for medical conditions such as glaucoma and multiple sclerosis. It covers marijuana’s mechanism of action, acute and chronic effects on health and behavior, potential adverse effects, efficacy of different delivery systems, analysis of the data about marijuana as a gateway drug, and the prospects for developing cannabinoid drugs. The book evaluates how well marijuana meets accepted standards for medicine and considers the conclusions of other blue-ribbon panels. Full of useful facts, this volume will be important to anyone interested in informed debate about the medical use of marijuana: advocates and opponents as well as policymakers, regulators, and health care providers. |
