HPV and Other Infectious Agents in Cancer
Author: Hans KruegerPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190453532
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 560
Book Description
After considering the aging population in developed countries, it has become clear to physicians and public policy administrators that prevention of cancer must play a more important role in national anti-cancer policy than it has in the past. The recent introduction of an HPV vaccine, coupled with discoveries concerning the relationship of H. pylori and cancer has brought the role of infectious agents in cancer into sharp focus in the medical community. While interest in the subject has grown, no single source existed to bring clinicians up-to-date on developments in disease mechanisms, population-based risk assessment and policy considerations in the field of cancer prevention. In this current and comprehensive text the authors review the basic science and clinical implications of individual infectious agents, while going beyond a mere update of the literature to offer insights on the current emerging prevention possibilities. This prevention perspective is what makes this particular text so valuable to researchers, epidemiologists, health care policy makers and oncologists. The discussion is organized to highlight the vital role of primary cancer prevention, and suggest directions for future research, practice and policy. Since HPV continues to be at the center of interest in the arena of infectious agents and cancer, the authors frame the majority of their discussion on this now-famous virus. The sheer volume of literature related to this virus and its many related cancers, and the burgeoning research on the development and implementation of a prophylactic vaccine necessitates a much fuller review of this infectious agent. Therefore, the book is roughly divided into two equal parts: one part devoted to HPV and another part devoted to five other prominent infectious agents in cancer.
The Palgrave Handbook of Gender, Sexuality, and Canadian Politics
Author: Manon TremblayPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030492400
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 539
Book Description
The Palgrave Handbook of Gender, Sexuality, and Canadian Politics offers the first and only handbook in the field of Canadian politics that uses 'gender' (which it interprets broadly, as inclusive of sex, sexualities, and other intersecting identities) as its category of analysis. Its premise is that political actors’ identities frame how Canadian politics is thought, told, and done; in turn, Canadian politics, as a set of ideas, state institutions and decision-making processes, and civil society mobilizations, does and redoes gender. Following the standard structure of mainstream introductory Canadian politics textbooks, this handbook is divided into four sections (ideologies, institutions, civil society, and public policy) each of which contains several chapters on topics commonly taught in Canadian politics classes. The originality of the handbook lies in its approach: each chapter reviews the basics of a given topic from the perspective of gendered/sexualized and other intersectional identities. Such an approach makes the handbook the only one of its kind in Canadian Politics.

Public health informatics January 1996 through December 2000 : 441 citations
Author: Publisher: DIANE Publishing
ISBN: 1428926313
Category : Medical informatics
Languages : en
Pages : 36
Book Description
The bibliography focuses on the use of computers and communications to support population-based public health functions. As in the prior bibliography, NLM has excluded the primary care services often provided by public health authorities. The literature on consumer health informatics issues is also excluded. However, NLM has included selected population-based health promotion material. Topics covered reflect major public health functions: population surveillance, population screening, registries, health promotion, information systems and services, data linking and mining, and workforce education and assessment. Articles on all aspects of immunization (including immunization registries) are grouped together under Immunization Programs and Issues. Also, we added bioterrorism to the Emergency/Disaster category. Publications increased in this area after the public health community was given a mandate to develop emergency plans and treatment procedures in case of bioterrorist attacks. Finally, we added the new category of Genetics Programs and Counseling.
