Abstract:

The concept of a circular (or circular/closed cycle) economy is quite new for the Russian scientific literature on economics and management. Having originated initially in countries experiencing serious resource constraints and (or) acute environmental problems, a few months ago it seemed to be a curious idea for Russia, allowing in the long term to achieve simultaneous preservation and even an increase in economic growth rates without the concomitant increase in the expenditure of natural resources and the inevitably associated increase in the burden on the environment. However, the dramatica

Abstract:

Diabetes and depression are two of the major global health concerns in the twenty-first century. One way of measuring the global impact of these illnesses are the disability-adjusted life-years or DALYs. The calculation takes into account the average life expectancy of a specific country, the years lost by premature death, and the years lived with disability/disease. Furthermore, ongoing research has shown that interactions exist between depression and diabetes. Diabetes and other chronic diseases can lead to depression, while depression can increase the risk for developing diabetes or worsen

Interest in the global burden of critical illness and its sequelae are growing, but comprehensive data to describe the burden of acute and post-acute illness and the resources available to provide care are lacking. Challenges to obtaining population-based global estimates of critical illness include the syndrome-based definitions of critical illness, incorrect equating of ‘critical illness’ with ‘admission to an intensive care unit’, lack of reliable case ascertainment in administrative data, and short prodrome and high mortality of critical illness, limiting the number of prevalent cases.

Modern lifestyles put a great burden on the human musculoskeletal system. Since 1980, the worldwide prevalence of obesity has tripled in many European countries.

On the other hand, both to combat the obesity pandemic and to increase or maintain the quality of life, physical activity and sports are encouraged next to a healthy diet.

Patients with haematological malignancies require admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) due to the underlying disease, as a consequence of treatment with chemotherapy or after haematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

There is compelling evidence that patients should not be denied admission to ICU based on the presence of a haematological malignancy.

In addition, high expenditures to treat NCDs impose a direct economic burden to the health system, the society and to the nation of Jamaica, which can lead to reduced investments in areas like education and physical capital, which increase gross domestic product (GDP) in the long run.

Weaning failure has been defined as failure to discontinue mechanical ventilation, as assessed by the spontaneous breathing trial, or need for re-intubation after extubation, so-called extubation failure. Both events represent major clinical and economic burdens, and are associated with high morbidity and mortality. The most important mechanism leading to discontinuation failure is an unfavourable balance between respiratory muscle capacity and the load they must face. Beyond specific diseases leading to loss of muscle force-generating capacity, other factors may impair respiratory muscle func

Abstract:

Treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS) is a disabling psychotic disorder that affects approximately 30% of those diagnosed with schizophrenia. In a significant proportion (about 70%) of patients with TRS, their illness is treatment-resistant from onset (early or primary treatment resistance), whilst, in the remainder, treatment resistance develops during the course of illness (late or secondary treatment resistance). TRS is associated with reduced quality of life and increased social and economic burden. Multiple sociodemographic, clinical, and biological risk factors have been assessed in re

Abstract:

Migraine is one of the most common, disabling neurological disorders in women of reproductive age. It is a disabling condition that can lead to a compromised health-related quality of life. Often `migraineurs' are unable to carry out everyday tasks due to a reduction in functioning and productivity. This burden impacts not only at work, but also on social and family life. Migraine affects not only the physical but also mental and social health. Chapter 5 discusses the available evidence of a correlation between migraine and pre-eclampsia. Pre-eclampsia complicates 3-5% of all pregnancies and r

Abstract:

The Painful Truth describes the personal and social implications of living with chronic pain and paints a picture of how society can do a better job of helping people who are in pain. In Part 1, the author-a former president of the American Academy of Pain Medicine-tells in-depth stories about some of his patients, using each story to focus on a key issue that frequently surfaces in the lives of people who have pain. The value of a positive attitude, the way that pain combines with other things going on in a person’s life, the reality of prejudice, the risk of becoming addicted to opioids, the

Abstract:

Physicians have long sought to define a ‘physiologic age’ distinct from chronologic age which might account for some of the variance in response to critical illness and injury. This has led to the concept of ‘physiologic reserve’ which might represent a major driver of outcome in patients requiring intensive care. The human body is a complex system that adapts to a multitude of external stressors; however, senescence or illness can reduce inherent adaptive mechanisms, reducing complexity and reducing the threshold for decompensation (i.e. acute illness or injury). This theoretical critical thr

Abstract:

Computed tomography (CT) has increased in use exponentially for the assessment of patients with renal tract pathology. This has been promoted by the availability of multidetector thin-slice CT so that intravenous urography has been superseded by CT urography. The latter may be considered as a ‘one-stop’ imaging investigation for haematuria, with increased detection of both urinary tract cancers and urolithiasis. Multiplanar reformats are made possible with the use of thin slices, allowing clear delineation of other pathologies such as urinary tract injury. In the transplant recipient, protocol

Abstract:

More than 50 years ago, outpatient care for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) became possible through the invention of the Scribner shunt. Since that time, renal replacement therapy (RRT) has expanded to include haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and renal transplantation. There has been tremendous global growth in the number of patients with access to RRT for ESRD, but many societies face difficult triage decisions for these costly modalities similar to those faced by the pioneers of outpatient dialysis in the early 1960s. Developed and developing societies will face the complex c
