Book Description
This report summarizes information received from 106 malaria-endemic countries and from malaria control partners. It highlights continued progress made towards meeting international targets for malaria control to be achieved by 2010 and by 2015. International funds disbursed for malaria control increased from $200 million in 2004 to $1.5 billion in 2009. Since 2008, more than 289 million insecticide-treated mosquito nets have been delivered to sub-Saharan Africa, enough to protect three quarters of the 765 million persons at risk of the disease. Over the last decade, 11 countries in the Africa Region and 32 countries in other regions showed reductions of 50% or greater in either confirmed malaria cases or malaria admissions and deaths. Malaria control is making a major contribution to reducing mortality in children less than 5 years old and to attaining the health-related Millennium Development Goals.

Book Description
Eating and drinking are essential to life and therefore of great interest to the historian. As well as having a real fascination in their own right, both activities are an integral part of the both social and economic history. Yet food and drink, especially in the middle ages, have received less than their proper share of attention. The essays in this volume approach their subject from a variety of angles: from the reality of starvation and the reliance on 'fast food' of those without cooking facilities, to the consumption of an English lady's household and the career of a cook in the French royal household.

Book Description
Behavioral Dentistry, Second Edition, surveys the vast and absorbing topic of the role of behavioral science in the study and clinical practice of dentistry. An understanding of social sciences has long been a central part of dental education, and essential for developing a clinician’s appreciation of human behavior as it affects efficient dental treatment. This book gathers together contributions from leading experts in each of the major subspecialties of behavioral dentistry. Its aim is not merely to provide the student and clinician with a comprehensive review of the impressive literature or discussion of the theoretical background to the subject, but also with a practical guide to adapting the latest techniques and protocols and applying them to day-to-day clinical practice. This second edition of Behavioral Dentistry discusses biobehavioral processes, including the psychobiology of inflammation and pain, oral health and quality of life, saliva health, and hypnosis in dentistry. The book goes on to examine anxiety, fear, and dental and chronic orofacial pain, and then reviews techniques for designing and managing behavior change. It concludes with a section on professional practice, including care of special needs, geriatric, and diabetic patients, and interpersonal communication in dental education.

Book Description
This book focuses on major communication challenges in clinical practice—that is, communicating effectively with anxious, "difficult," or dissatisfied patients; communicating and integrating preventive and oral health messages and education in primary dental care; and finding ways to improve patient care without adding to the stress of frontline clinical practice. Implementing the strategies devised by these international experts can dramatically improve the success of any dental practice.

Book Description
Contexte : La carie dentaire reste une pathologie à forte prévalence, avec pour conséquences de nombreuses complications médicales locales et générales, à l'origine d'un important coût de santé. Des thérapeutiques fluorées topiques et systémiques existent, mais semblent ne pas être utilisées à bon escient par les médecins généralistes, malgré des recommandations récentes et complètes. Objectif : Mettre en évidence les déterminants de la prise en charge préventive de la carie dentaire et de la prescription des thérapeutiques fluorées par les généralistes. Méthode : Une étude qualitative a été menée, permettant la réalisation de 15 entretiens semi-dirigés auprès de médecins généralistes dans plusieurs communes des Alpes-Maritimes et du Var. Après retranscription des entretiens, le codage des verbatims a permis d'aboutir à une analyse thématique, et à l'extraction des données recherchées. Résultats : L'étude révèle qu'aucun des praticiens interrogés n'assure la prise en charge de la prévention de la carie dentaire recommandée par l'HAS et l'AFSSAPS. Ils expriment de nombreuses difficultés pour justifier ce manquement, parmi lesquelles le manque de temps est omniprésent, imposant aux praticiens de ne répondre qu'aux motifs de consultation et de délaisser la prévention dentaire, qu'ils jugent souvent du ressort d'autres professionnels, tels le dentiste ou le pédiatre. Le manque d'information des patients est également délétère. Ils ne semblent pas être au fait des mesures préventives, et n'en parlent pas à leurs médecins. Les praticiens, non sollicités et souffrant d'un manque de temps, se forment peu au domaine dentaire. Les programmes de DPC sur le sujet sont quasi inconnus. La prescription fluorée s'en trouve inadaptée, voire souvent inexistante, d'autant que le calcul de posologie s'avère complexe, notamment par la nécessité de calculer les apports alimentaires en fluor. Conclusion : Cette étude pose les bases de futurs travaux. Une prochaine étude pourra confirmer les tendances retrouvées, et une réflexion pourra être menée sur les perspectives d'amélioration des pratiques des généralistes, notamment en terme de formation et d'aménagement de consultations à visée dentaire.

Book Description
Having safe drinking water is important to all Americans. The Environmental Protection Agency's decision in the summer of 2001 to delay implementing a new, more stringent standard for the maximum allowable level for arsenic in drinking water generated a great deal of criticism and controversy. Ultimately at issue were newer data on arsenic beyond those that had been examined in a 1999 National Research Council report. EPA asked the National Research Council for an evaluation of the new data available. The committee's analyses and conclusions are presented in Arsenic in Drinking Water: 2001 Update. New epidemiological studies are critically evaluated, as are new experimental data that provide information on how and at what level arsenic in drinking water can lead to cancer. The report's findings are consistent with those of the 1999 report that found high risks of cancer at the previous federal standard of 50 parts per billion. In fact, the new report concludes that men and women who consume water containing 3 parts per billion of arsenic daily have about a 1 in 1,000 increased risk of developing bladder or lung cancer during their lifetime.
