Nederlandstalig Dysartrieonderzoek-Kinderen NDO-K: Handleiding
by Van Gerven van den Engel-Hoek Ruessink Knuijt Kalf De SwartDoel van de testHet NDO-K is een instrument waarmee de diagnose 'dysartrie' bij kinderen gesteld kan worden. Daarnaast kan met het instrument het type dysartrie en de ernst ervan worden vastgesteld. In Nederland was tot op heden geen dysartrieonderzoek voor kinderen beschikbaar. Met het verschijnen van het NDO-K is hierin verandering gekomen. Het NDO-K is een gestandaardiseerd, valide en betrouwbaar instrument dat kan bijdragen aan goede basis voor logopedische therapie. Het type en de ernst van de dysartrie worden in het NDO-K onderzocht met behulp van gestandaardiseerde spreekopdrachten. Alle aspecten van de spraak, te weten adem, fonatie, articulatie, nasale resonantie en prosodie worden met deze opdrachten in kaart gebracht. Het NDO-K is bedoeld voor kinderen bij wie een vermoeden bestaat van aanwezigheid van een dysartrie. Het instrument is geschikt om af te nemen in de acute fase, de revalidatiefase en de chronische fase.Toepassing•Diagnostiek: stelt de diagnose dysartrie en bepaalt het type en de ernst van de dysartrie.•Differentiaaldiagnose: het NDO-K onderscheidt dysartrie van andere spraakstoornissen.•Behandeling: vormt de basis voor een passend therapieplan.•Wetenschappelijk onderzoek: de maximum performancetaken en de leesteksten zijn geschikt voor het verzamelen van genormeerde data. Onderzoek heeft laten zien dat de ernstscore betrouwbaar vastgesteld kan worden. Wat onderzoekt het NDO-K?Het NDO-K onderzoekt alle aspecten van de spraak met behulp van 6 spreektaken, te weten:•1. spontane spraak•2. lezen van een standaard tekst of naspreektaken•3. diadochokinese•4. glijtonen•5. roepen•6. maximale aanhoudingsduurVoor wie?Het NDO-K kan door logopedisten afgenomen worden. Scoring en interpretatie kan betrouwbaar gedaan worden door logopedisten die ervaren en/of getraind zijn in het luisteren naar dysartrische spraak. Hiervoor worden ook NDO-K workshops gegeven door het Radboudumc, afdeling Revalidatie logopedie kinderen. Zie https://www.radboudumc.nl/afdelingen/revalidatie/paramedische-disciplines/logopedie/volwassenen-en-kinderen/logopedie-kinderen/scholingAfname en scoringDe afname gebeurt in een vaste volgorde en duurt 20 tot 30 minuten. De afname wordt bij voorkeur op video opgenomen. Scoring gebeurt tijdens en na de afname, zo nodig wordt voor de scoring de video-opname terug gekeken. Aan de hand hiervan kan een inschatting gemaakt worden van de mate waarin de prestatie afwijkt (onmogelijk, duidelijk afwijkend, licht afwijkend). Voor de maximale prestatietaken zijn referentiewaarden toegevoegd.Materialen• NDO-K complete set (handleiding, formulieren, therapiemateriaal)• NDO-K scoreformulieren (set van 25) • NDO-K workshop (via Radboudumc)

Needles, Herbs, Gods, and Ghosts: China, Healing, and the West to 1848
by Linda L. BarnesWhen did the West discover Chinese healing traditions? Most people might point to the "rediscovery" of Chinese acupuncture in the 1970s. In Needles, Herbs, Gods, and Ghosts, Linda Barnes leads us back, instead, to the thirteenth century to uncover the story of the West's earliest known encounters with Chinese understandings of illness and healing. As Westerners struggled to understand new peoples unfamiliar to them, how did they make sense of equally unfamiliar concepts and practices of healing? Barnes traces this story through the mid-nineteenth century, in both Europe and, eventually, the United States. She has unearthed numerous examples of Western missionaries, merchants, diplomats, and physicians in China, Europe, and America encountering and interpreting both Chinese people and their healing practices, and sometimes adopting their own versions of these practices. A medical anthropologist with a degree in comparative religion, Barnes illuminates the way constructions of medicine, religion, race, and the body informed Westerners' understanding of the Chinese and their healing traditions.

Negative Co-Receptors and Ligands
by Tasuku Honjo Rafi AhmedAdaptive immune responses serve as a key defense mechanism for the control of infections in vertebrates. Immune responses must be of sufficient strength to contain invading pathogens, antigen specific responses require regulatory mechanisms to ensure termination or downmodulation to avoid excessive damage to the host tissue. For both branches of the adaptive immune system, regulatory molecules i.e. coreceptors and ligands have been identified that control the signaling cascades initiated by engagement of the T cell and B cell antigen receptors. This book describes biological functions as well as molecular mechanisms of these molecules.

The Neglected Dimension of Global Security: A Framework to Counter Infectious Disease Crises
by National Academy of Medicine SecretariatSince the 2014 Ebola outbreak many public- and private-sector leaders have seen a need for improved management of global public health emergencies. The effects of the Ebola epidemic go well beyond the three hardest-hit countries and beyond the health sector. Education, child protection, commerce, transportation, and human rights have all suffered. The consequences and lethality of Ebola have increased interest in coordinated global response to infectious threats, many of which could disrupt global health and commerce far more than the recent outbreak. In order to explore the potential for improving international management and response to outbreaks the National Academy of Medicine agreed to manage an international, independent, evidence-based, authoritative, multistakeholder expert commission. As part of this effort, the Institute of Medicine convened four workshops in summer of 2015. This commission report considers the evidence supplied by these workshops and offers conclusions and actionable recommendations to guide policy makers, international funders, civil society organizations, and the private sector.

The One Health concept forms the framework of all chapters. The multidisciplinary team of authors addresses neglected diseases caused by the three major pathogen groups - bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Moreover, the volume discusses key virulence factors such as the evolution of antibiotic resistance, and the ecological drivers of and human influence on pathogen transmission. Demonstrating how researchers working on monkeys diseases are increasingly thinking outside the box, this volume is an essential reference guide to the field of One Health and will serve as an asset for stakeholders in conservation, healthcare and research organizations that face the challenge of moving beyond classical human oriented approaches to health.
Neglected No More: The Urgent Need to Improve the Lives of Canada's Elders in the Wake of a Pandemic
by Andre PicardIt took the coronavirus pandemic to open our eyes to the deplorable state of so many of the nation's long-term care homes: the inhumane conditions, overworked and underpaid staff, and lack of oversight. In this timely new book, esteemed health reporter André Picard reveals the full extent of the crisis in eldercare, and offers an urgently needed prescription to fix a broken system.When COVID-19 spread through seniors' residences across Canada, the impact was horrific. Along with widespread illness and a devastating death toll, the situation exposed a decades-old crisis: the shocking systemic neglect towards our elders.Called in to provide emergency care in some of the hardest-hit facilities in Ontario and Quebec, the military issued damning reports of what they encountered. And yet, the failings that were exposed--unappetizing meals, infrequent baths, overmedication, physical abuse and inadequate personal care--have persisted for years in these institutions. In Neglected No More, André Picard takes a hard look at how we came to embrace mass institutionalization, and lays out what can and must be done to improve the state of care for our elders, a highly vulnerable population with complex needs and little ability to advocate for themselves. Picard shows that the entire eldercare system--fragmented, underfunded and unsupported--is long overdue for a fundamental rethink. We need to find ways to ensure seniors can age gracefully in the community for longer, with supportive home care and respite for family caregivers, and ensure that long-term care homes are not warehouses of isolation and neglect. Our elders deserve nothing less.

Neglected Tropical Diseases and Conditions of the Nervous System
by Marina Bentivoglio Esper A. Cavalheiro Krister Kristensson Nilesh B. PatelA number of diseases and conditions that occur primarily in remote rural or poor urban areas of low-income countries have traditionally been neglected by the neuroscience research community. These diseases and conditions affect the nervous system directly (sometimes with lethal consequences) and/or are associated with severe neurological sequels such as epilepsy, cognitive deficits, and sleep disruption. Several diseases also have the effect of promoting poverty by leaving sufferers unable to lead economically productive lives due to cognitive and behavioral disturbances or severe stigmatization. The pathogenesis of neural dysfunction in the diseases addressed in this book and their sequels remains unclear. Neuroscience of Neglected Diseases and Conditions makes available much needed information about how these diseases affect the human nervous system as well as to promote interest in further research. Further research into neglected diseases and conditions will uncover information that sheds light on more general topics of interest to the neuroscience research community.

Neglected Tropical Diseases - East Asia (Neglected Tropical Diseases)
by Jürg Utzinger Peiling Yap Martin Bratschi Peter SteinmannNeglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a group of diseases frequently found in impoverished communities in tropical and sub-tropical countries. The risk for many of the NTDs is high in both deprived urban and rural areas of East Asia. Adapted to the endemic settings and characteristics of the diseases, a range of tools and strategies are currently being rolled out for the large-scale control of many NTDs. Both vector control measures and community sensitization programmes have for example been used to control dengue in urbanized settings. Challenges posed by yaws and lymphatic filariasis are being addressed by mass drug administration, while rabies requires the involvement of the veterinary public health sector for disease control. For leprosy, an elimination target has been defined; however, achieving this goal remains a considerable challenge. Food-borne trematodiases, on the other hand, are emerging and require a deeper understanding of its burden in East Asia and how these diseases can be tackled in a cost-effective manner. Finally, factors, such as an increase of non-communicable diseases due to changing lifestyles which accompany economic growth, the spreading HIV epidemic as well as climate change and the occurrence of natural disasters can potentially affect the epidemiology and control of NTDs. This volume discusses the mentioned topics in detail with contributions by experts in the respective research areas from different working environments.
