Abstract:
The growing evidence on the benefits and risks of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and its high rate of use (69% of Australians) – particularly for chronic or recurrent conditions – means increasing attention on CAM. However, few people disclose CAM use to their GP, and health professionals tend to inadequately discuss CAM-related issues with their patients, partly due to insufficient knowledge. As clinical and non-clinical chronic condition management guidelines are a means to educate primary health care practitioners, we undertook a content analysis of guidelines relevant to two

Abstract:
The blend of complementary alternative medicine (CAM) and traditional Western medicine is known as integrative medicine (IM). It is based on the mind, body, spirit, and community and supports the concept that healing is always possible, even when curing is not; IM is relationship-centered care requiring the active participation of the patient to become more self-aware, to think about their experiences of health and illness, to develop and maintain caring relationships, and to commit to effective communication with the healing team.

The history of proposals for patient-centered medicine begins with Michael Balint’s proposal for patient-centered medicine as an alternative to illness-centered medicine. This has been weakened in more recent calls for patient-centered care from clinicians, foundations, and professional organizations. It is argued that patient-centeredness consists of both taking the patient’s perspective and activating the patient. Taking the patient’s perspective involves communication skills and may involve developing a “shared mind” with the patient. Two programs for activating patients are contrasted, 1)

Abstract:
The increasingly diverse population presents challenges that require building a Culture of Health through Mindfulness into Action (Vergara's methodology). Previous studies suggest (Vergara, 2016a; Vergara, Wallace, Du, Marsick, Yorks, Gordon et al., 2016b; Vergara, Parks, Reyes, Tamariz, 2016e; Vergara, Tjernstad, Mac Quarrie, Tamariz, 2016f) that Mindfulness into Action (MIA) disrupts unconscious bias and facilitate a cultural humble stance that gives the potential to foster taking a perspective during this modern fast paced dynamics in life with chronic stress. Chronic stress refers to high stress sustained over extended periods of time. Chronic stress occurs among adults, but among young people more frequently, and it is more closely related to maladaptive health behaviors and mental health problems, than acute stress, or episodic triggers of stress (Leonard, Gwadz, Ritchie, Linick, Cleland, Elliott, &amp; Grethel, 2015; Carter, Garber, Ciesla, &amp; Cole, 2006). Children in poverty are more likely to experience both chronic and acute stress than their affluent peers (Almeida, Neupert, Banks, &amp; Serido, 2005). Ross recognizes that removing bias and understanding the cultural patterns creates greater equity; however, disparities persist (2014, p. xii). Health People 2020 (HP 2020) was developed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and commits to eliminating the “range of personal, social, economic, and environmental factors” that prohibit a person from attaining health, and implement policies that “achieve health equity” for all Americans. Braveman states that health equity means “no one is denied the possibility to be healthy” (2014, p. 6). The 2012 Institute of Medicine report highlights a need to reduce health disparities by identifying various “intervention strategies to improve health outcomes in vulnerable populations”, highlights persistent and significant gaps between the quality of health care people should receive, and the quality of care they actually receive (p. 76). Currently, there is great disparity in health as we address external factors, however an additional approach that addresses factors from within is needed to build a culture of health. Dees describes about how beliefs about health and disease vary across cultures, ethnicities, races and faiths (2007, p. 34). However, it is common for people to have an ethnocentric approach regarding health. An ethnocentric approach can be a source of conflict. “Belief regarding health, illness and healing vary among different cultures” (Dees, 2007, p 35). Chakkarath (2009) suggests that Western psychological concepts no longer are the only valid scientific concepts inside the discipline. Further, he suggests that psychology as a discipline can only profit from an indigenous approach because it can introduce traditions of thought and alternative empirical and theoretical approaches that can both challenge and contribute to psychology's universalistic orientation. For that reason, by paying attention to our wholeness and factors from within, the Mindfulness into Action methodology includes indigenous practices from America, Africa, and Oceania (Vergara, 2016b).

Abstract:
Most people suffer pain at some stage of their lives. Therefore, pain is the most common reason to seeking therapeutic alternative or conventional medicine. Pain management particularly in chronic pain due to postoperative is systematically have been developed by various great recommendations that assist the health care practitioner and patient in making decisions about health care. In recent years, we have developed a better understanding of the pathomechanisms that link inflammation and peripheral sensitization about pain which can be overcome through an alternative treatment. This approach is known as complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). The development of the combined health approach has lately been known as Integrative Medicine, which seeks to restore and maintain health by understanding a series of patients’ unique circumstances and overcoming their various physical, psychological, environmental, and spiritual influences. Through “whole system” treatment will be to elaborate an integrated approach, by dhikr, hijamah, and herbal medicine for facilitating the transition from viewing “pain” only as a matter of specific bodily functions (specific) to a more holistic view at the systemic level through integrative medicine to health care with a broader holistic approach.

There is a long history of using videogames in a therapeutic capacity including rehabilitation for stroke patients, people with traumatic brain injuries, burns victims, wheelchair users, Erb's palsy sufferers, children undergoing chemotherapy, children with muscular dystrophy, autistic children and individuals looking to overcome real-life challenges (including symptoms of depression) and boost their wellbeing (including boosting life satisfaction, self-efficacy and social support). This paper briefly and selectively examines a number of areas including: (1) videogames as physiotherapy and occupational therapy, (2) videogames as distractors in the role of pain management, (3) videogames and cognitive rehabilitation, (4) videogames and the development of social and communication skills among the learning disabled, (5) videogames and impulsivity/attention deficit disorders, (6) videogames and therapeutic benefits in the elderly, (7) videogames in psychotherapeutic settings, (8) videogames and health care, (9) videogames and anxiety disorders, and (10) videogames and psychological wellbeing. It is concluded that there has been considerable success when games are specifically designed to address a specific problem or to teach a certain skill. However, generalizability outside the game-playing situation remains an important consideration.

Abstract:
Quality evaluation of healthcare establishment (HCE) is a difficult process as it involves multiple components of quality criteria with various factors and sub-factors therein. Further, the quality criteria are not universally standardized. The subjective evaluation in itself is not reliable as a tool so that available HCEs may be investigated for selecting the best among them. Thus, to avoid vagueness and imprecision due to process of human cognition the need to evolve a useful method for evaluation of quality of HCE was essentially required. To achieve such an objective three well established HCEs from northern cities of India have been studied. An Integrated Quality Model designed for HCE (Azam et al., 2012a, 2012b) and specifically tested previously with the AHP study by the authors (Azam et al., 2015) with its components, parameters and factors sub-factors has been utilized to evaluate the quality aspects of HCEs forming subjects of the current study. Further, the standard formula of Fuzzy AHP methodology with the application of fuzzy set theory was applied to the multiple components of the quality criteria with various factors and sub-factors therein pertaining to various HCEs forming the subject of the study. Quality of the HCEs thus could be evaluated empirically avoiding vagueness due to human cognition factors. Utilizing this methodology respective rankings of HCEs could also be assigned among them with practical utility to maintain the required quality of their services. Quality evaluation of Health Care Establishment utilizing Fuzzy AHP along with fuzzy set theory is a unique method which will benefit the client patients to select the best HCE among the available alternatives of HCEs. It also helps the managers to improve the business by allocating scarce resources wherever critically required to improve various quality components criteria factors and sub-factors of their HCEs.

Abstract:
Injuries and degenerative disease of the skeletal and articular systems are the most common reasons for undergoing orthopaedic surgery. Those diseases are often associated with pain, which is experienced by the patient long before the surgical procedure. Strong stress reaction is the main source of adjustment disorders of patients undergoing surgical treatment. Orthopaedic surgery, like any other surgery, upsets body's homeostasis. The results of the surgery are not completely predictable, but are always closely related to life and health. Patients' strong stress reaction is also connected with anaesthesia (emergence from anaesthesia), being worried of complications caused by central neuraxial anaesthesia – the fear of paresis or death. The factor which influences worse adaptation process is the patients' post-surgery mood. Right after the surgery, patients feel worse than before it, they are weak, move less freely, they are anxious about their consciousness being dimmed due to medicine intake and pain. The expectations concerning the ways of controlling the dynamics of the pain one experiences are crucial. According to the researchers, in the central nervous system there exist neural circuits that may cause physiological reactions according to one's expectations, and due to this fact the pain one experiences may become stronger or alleviated depending on one's expectations. The lack of positive pain-reducing experience may lead to the learned helplessness or no sense of one's control over pain, both of which make the pain stronger. The pain-influencing factors include cognitive processes and emotions. The role of attention processes, one's cognitive appraisal and one's attitude towards pain has been emphasised, as well as the pain-modelling influence of emotions, all of which emphasise the complexity of one's pain experience. Patients, when asked to point out the factors that hinder effective pain therapy, indicate frustration caused by the lack of information, numerous worries concerning the treatment and the stereotypical image of pain. Relieving tension influences the patient's mood positively, whilst stress influences it in a negative way. The stress one experiences and one's emotions lower one's pain threshold, which leads to greater pain experience and thus makes the healing process last longer. The quality of pre- and post-operational care is thus crucial, as it influences the level of the experienced stress. The pain components influence one another, there occur interactions of biological, psychological and situational factors, which makes it advisable to personalise one's pain treatment. The need of an interdisciplinary approach towards a person, especially to their health, has been recently emphasised. Pain is a biopsychosocial occurrence, which makes pain therapy an interdisciplinary problem. This chapter discusses the following issues: 1) The characteristics of pain in conditions that require surgical treatment,2) Surgery-related stress reaction, 3) Psychological factors which influence how one feels pain, 4) The consequences of pain in people's functioning, and 5) Postoperative pain, the assessment of pain level and its relieving.

Abstract:
Today we are witnessing a significant rise in chronic diseases and chronic pain. Modern medicine appears not to be sufficient to relieve symptoms and reduce or eliminate discomfort. The following proffers the need to look at alternate strategies. In particular, it suggests that a solution might lie if we combine modern technology with ancient wisdom and traditional approaches. This chapter serves to highlight strategies for prudent pain management. “Pain is not just from physical disorders but also from combinations of physiological, pathological, emotional, psychological, cognitive, environmental, and social factors. The keys to successful pain control are the mechanisms that initiate and maintain pain.” “Now, the public and health professionals expect to control pain by using preventive and active strategies, including drugs and physical and psychosocial interventions.” (Holdcroft &amp; Power, 2003).

Abstract:
In this chapter, infection with the flagellated protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis is reviewed. The epidemiology and aetiology of this parasitic infection of the human genitourinary tract is discussed and transmission, including potential routes of non-sexual transmission are detailed. Clinical presentation in women (commonly vaginal discharge, vulvo-vaginitis, strawberry cervix) and men (urethritis) are reviewed. The different diagnostic techniques (microscopy, culture, polymerase chain reaction, and point-of-care test) are compared and contrasted. Incidental diagnosis on a cervical smear is also discussed. The mainstay of management is oral metronidazole with appropriate partner notification. Alternatives for refractory cases are given, and the interplay of Trichomonas vaginalis and HIV is included.

ABSTRACT Background: Utilization of the telemedicine application is an alternative option for paediatric health services without a direct visit to hospitals, especially in pandemic or disease outbreak conditions. The important telemedicine services, especially for paediatric patients, need to be tackled by stakeholders and hospital management teams. This study aimed to investigate the acceptance and barrier in using telemedicine health services of hospitals among paediatric outpatients. Subjects and Method: A systematic review was conducted by searching from Science­Direct and Scopus databases
