by M. J. Heineman J.L.H. Evers L.F.A.G. Massuger E.A.P. SteegersHet leerboek Obstetrie en gynaecologie. De voortplanting van de mens is een modern standaardwerk. De didactische opbouw, heldere stijl en de hoogwaardige illustraties maken het tot een onovertroffen leerboek. Elk hoofdstuk begint met leerdoelen en definities en wordt afgesloten met een samenvatting en een blik op de toekomst. Historie, methodologische aspecten, epidemiologie en demografie hebben een eigen plaats in de tekst, die is onderverdeeld in leer- en leesstukken. In kaders worden samenvattingen aangeboden. Casussen brengen theorie en praktijk bij elkaar. De referenties omvatten zowel klassieke en recente literatuur als vele internetadressen. in deze nieuwe, zevende druk is niet alleen de informatie geactualiseerd, maar zijn ook enkele nieuwe hoofdstukken (De jonge zwangerschap en Pre-maligne aandoeningen) toegevoegd. Daarnaast zijn er prachtige nieuwe illustraties opgenomen die eerder werden gepubliceerd in het boek Obstetrische interventies. En dat is niet alles: er is ook een begin gemaakt met een aan dit leerboek gekoppelde elektronische leeromgeving waar aanvullende informatie gevonden kan worden. Kijk voor verdere verdieping op de website StudieCloud.Het leerboek Obstetrie en gynaecologie heeft een lange geschiedenis. In 1973 verscheen, onder leiding van prof. dr. G.J. Kloosterman, De voortplanting van de mens, het voornaamste leerboek voor obstetrie en gynaecologie van de jaren zeventig en tachtig van de vorige eeuw. Het boek kwam tot stand door een goede samenwerking tussen de Nederlandstalige universiteitsklinieken en was uniek omdat voor het eerst in één leerboek alle onderdelen van de obstetrie en gynaecologie een plaats kregen. In 1993 nam prof. dr. P.J. Treffers het hoofdredacteurschap over en beleefde het boek, waarvan de titel was gewijzigd in Obstetrie en gynaecologie, twee drukken. Vanaf de derde druk is de uitgave herzien onder leiding van prof. dr. M.J. Heineman samen met nieuwe en jonge auteurs, allen werkend in vooraanstaande opleidingsklinieken, aan het bestaande schrijverscollectief toegevoegd waarmee de actualiteit van het leerboek gegarandeerd wordt.Inmiddels werken ruim zeventig specialisten, vrijwel allen actief in de zorg, mee aan dit boek. Daarmee wordt een volledig beeld gekregen van de obstetrie, gynaecologie en voortplantingsgeneeskunde en beschikken wij opnieuw over een compleet en overzichtelijk standaard

Occupation-Based Activity Analysis
by Heather ThomasOccupational therapists use occupations and activities as not just a goal, but also as a treatment medium, therefore, they must understand both the uniqueness of a client’s occupations and how an activity can be used therapeutically. To analyze the complexity of an occupation takes much more depth of understanding of the person engaging in it, his or her environment, and the uniqueness of the occupation a person has chosen. <p><p> The new Second Edition of Occupation-Based Activity Analysis continues the tradition of teaching students and clinicians the process of conducting activity analyses and occupation-based activity analyses. <p> Dr. Heather Thomas has updated Occupation-Based Activity Analysis, Second Edition to reflect the significant changes made to the activity analysis process and terminology in the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework, Third Edition. As in an activity analysis, occupation-based activity analysis looks at what is required for full participation, yet goes beyond analyzing the activity; it looks at what it means for the person engaging in it and how and where it is performed by that person. <p> Inside Occupation-Based Activity Analysis, Second Edition, each chapter is dedicated to a component of the activity analysis process and corresponding section of the Framework. Chapters have been restructured based on a greater emphasis on occupation-based activity analysis. From start to finish, readers are guided through identifying the occupation, sequence and timing, objects and properties, space and social demands, body functions, and structures and performance skills required.

Occupational Emergency Medicine
by Michael GreenbergWith a large proportion of emergency admissions due to occupational health problems, the effect this can have on your practice cannot be ignored. Owing to the shortage of occupational physicians and limited worker access to health care, the diagnosis and treatment of occupational diseases rely increasingly on the emergency physician.

This burden of work means occupational disorders impact the whole of the emergency department. Michael Greenberg addresses your questions and concerns about the management of these patients: from triage to discharge, and beyond for all work-place injuries or disorders, whether office-based, agricultural or industrial and their employment regulations Occupational Emergency Medicine is an essential reference for emergency physicians and trainees, featuring comprehensive information on legal issues involving the physician, and advice on managing occupational health admissions.

Occupational Hazards
by Elanah UretskyDoing business in China can be hazardous to your health. Occupational Hazards follows a group of Chinese businessmen and government officials as they conduct business in Beijing and western Yunnan Province, exposing webs of informal networks that help businessmen access political favors. These networks are built over liquor, cigarettes, food, and sex, turning risky behaviors into occupational hazards. Elanah Uretsky's ethnography follows these powerful men and their vulnerabilities to China's burgeoning epidemics of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV/AIDS. Examining the relationship between elite masculine networking practices and vulnerability to HIV infection, Occupational Hazards includes the stories of countless government officials and businessmen who regularly visit commercial sex workers but resist HIV testing for fear of threatening their economic and political status. Their fate is further complicated by a political system that cannot publicly acknowledge such risk and by authoritative international paradigms that limit the reach of public health interventions. Ultimately, Uretsky offers insights into how complex socio-cultural and politico-economic negotiations affect the development and administration of China's HIV epidemic.
Occupational Health Ethics: From Theory to Practice
by Jacques TaminThis book provides occupational health (OH) professionals with a theoretical basis for addressing the ethical issues that they confront in their practice.

This book builds on these core principles, starting from an application of moral theories in the OH context and illustrating how ethical conflicts could be resolved, by carrying out ethical analyses of several case studies. In this way, it aims to link ethical theory to OH practice.

At the request of the National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) examined existing respiratory protection curricula and made recommendations to improve education and training in respiratory protection for OHNs. The IOM finds that current respiratory protection education receives varying amounts of dedicated time and resources and is taught using a variety of approaches. Several recommendations are made to improve the respiratory protection education and training of OHNs.
