Abstract:

The monograph includes materials on the main problems of management accounting in the context of sustainable economic development, prepared not only by Russian authors, but also by scientists of the Tajik National University. They are aimed at identifying the information capabilities of management accounting in terms of providing tactical and strategic management in a modern, very difficult situation that has developed due to the shock of post-like restrictions and anti-Russian sanctions. Despite this, Russia has not abandoned the previously adopted concept of transition to sustainable develop

Abstract:

The textbook reveals a problem called "auscultation of the heart". Theoretical issues related to the origin of heart tones and noises are presented, classical and modern interpretations are given with the use of the concept of "Aeolian harp". The necessary characteristics of tones and especially heart murmurs are considered. Using the example of acquired and congenital heart defects, the significance of auscultation of the heart is demonstrated, when a doctor, presenting an auscultative picture of the features of tones and then heart murmurs, can make a diagnosis at the patient's bedside, ther

This practical book is written specifically for junior doctors by a team of highly experienced authors, as an introductory guide to clinical research. It covers all areas that a junior doctor needs to consider, including funding, study design, ethics, data analysis, disseminating findings, and furthering one's research career. It presents a balance view of clinical research and is written by authors actively involved in clinical research both at the 'coal-face' and at a more supervisory level.

Abstract:

Understanding and communicating about risk and prognosis are difficult for doctor and patient alike, and yet are critical to enabling patient autonomy and informed consent. Most guidelines, legal frameworks, and doctors emphasize the right to disclosure, but suggest sensitivity in responding to patient preferences and needs. Most patients want to know their prognosis, but there is diversity of preferences between and within patients over time. In reality, discussions of prognoses are often avoided, and are not recorded. We suggest openly negotiating prognostic discussions, giving information c

Abstract:

Written by a highly respected medical historian, this book examines how and why medical caring—including the role of touch and procedure in caregiving—has evolved in recent decades and how these changes have affected doctor-patient trust as well as patient health and the "health" of the current medical system. Why is it that, despite the curative wonders of modern medicine, we still feel frustrated by doctors who lack the time and inclination really to care for us, much less care about us? In this book, Paul Stepansky explores this paradox through a historical examination of medical care that

Abstract:

Although the history of epilepsy, one of the most common serious neurological disorders, can easily be traced back to ancient times, the modern understanding of the disease only began in the middle of the 19th century. This history of the first fifty years of modern epileptology reflects the thinking, accomplishments, and failures of physicians between 1865 and 1914. This epoch presented a very bleak clinical picture: diagnosis was difficult and often arbitrary; treatment was poor and, at times, worse than the disease; and patients, who were usually viewed as having a progressive dementing con

Abstract:

Chapter 1, “Medicine as a Human Experience,” examines the foundational principles of patient-centered care, a shift from the historical paradigm in favor of the illness and doctor-centered approach. The four essential principles that underlie all of medicine as a human experience are acceptance, empathy, conceptualization, and competence. Acceptance and empathy are essential to developing a healing partnership with one’s patients. Both stem from self-awareness, for it is difficult to accept another human being if you have not first accepted yourself. Conceptualization, using the biopsychosocia

Over the past decade, there has been increasing interest in alternative methods of treatment for many diseases.

Neurologists, in particular, manage many patients who have difficult-to-treat symptoms and disorders and can greatly benefit from integrative medicine.

They also cited other roles, such as friend and expert advisor, as important in gaining patient trust. Doctors’ views and their

Abstract:

Separating chronic and acute abdominal pain is often difficult, and an arbitrary time limit of 4 weeks is often used. However, many chronic conditions (e.g. chronic pancreatitis) can cause relapsing symptoms, which may be acute during each episode. Pain receptors in the abdomen respond to chemical and mechanical stimuli. Stretch is the commonest mechanical stimulus to the viscera, although distension, torsion, and contraction are also sensed. Chemical receptors are stimulated by inflammation and infection, and this stimulation leads to the production of various substances, including serotonin,

In contrast to this, the authors grant women an autonomy—both physiological and psychological—equal to that of men....

From antiquity down to the early modern period, many philosophers have been doctors or had interests in medicine. Yet typically the histories of philosophy and medicine are pursued as separate disciplines.

Major historical themes include the parallel between mental and physical health, the role of philosophical theories about body and soul

Abstract:

Chapter 6 addresses the ethical issues involved in engaging with the perpetrator’s perspective by analyzing Jonathan Littell’s Les Bienveillantes (2006, The Kindly Ones). It discusses imaginative resistance, difficult empathy, and identification in relation to readerly engagement and perspective-taking. The chapter shows how the interplay between immersiveness and critical distance can produce a narrative dynamic that allows the reader to engage emotionally—but without uncritically adopting the protagonist’s perspective—with an ethically problematic life-world. It analyzes how the novel perfor

Abstract:

When a health practitioner is at the bedside of a patient suffering from chronic pain and a psychiatric comorbid condition, he is facing a true clinical conundrum. The comorbidity is frequent yet poorly understood, the diagnosis is difficult and the treatment that follows is less than appropriate. Pain conditions and psychiatric disorders have customarily been understood and treated as different and separate clinical entities, to the detriment of patients’ wellbeing. Fathoming the overlapping pain and psychiatric disorders is in the interest of everyone involved in healthcare, including doctor
