PDF Ebook Evidence Based Guideline for Blood Glucose Control in Type 2 Diabetes

Submitted by antoq on Thu, 10/29/2009 - 01:22

This Guideline addresses the topic of blood glucose control in people with type 2 diabetes and provides guidance on a number of issues relating to the assessment and management of blood glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes is associated with reduced life expectancy, significant morbidity due to the specific diabetes related microvascular complications (retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy), and the increased risk of macrovascular complications (ischemic heart disease, stroke and peripheral vascular disease). The development of these complications impacts on quality of life.

Ebook Dietary Supplements and Military Divers A Synopsis for Undersea Medical Officers

Submitted by antoq on Thu, 07/09/2009 - 04:56

The variety, availability, sales and use of dietary supplements (DS) remain poorly understood by the mainstream medical community, but the potential for use and abuse of DS cannot be taken lightly by undersea medical officers (UMO). Despite the indisputable pharmacologic effects many of these over-the-counter (OTC) products exert, the use of DS is generally overlooked by clinicians. DS information is not covered in much depth, if at all, in medical education, and physicians are not trained in this area. As such, many may feel uncomfortable with their lack of familiarity regarding the ever-increasing supplement pharmacopoeia.

Peer-reviewed scientific research and evidenced-based information are often limited.Moreover, because the general public and active duty community perceive these natural substances as harmless, the products often do not come to the attention of physicians at all. Less than half of all users of DS consult a physician or a practitioner about alternative products (Aeromed).

Ebook Earnings Inequality in Late Nineteenth Century America

Submitted by wulan on Thu, 03/18/2010 - 07:09

This paper studies the level and the causes of earnings inequality in late nineteenth century America and Britain using a cross section microdata from the United States Commissioner of Labor Survey (1891, 1892), below denoted as COLS data. To be precise, this paper focuses on the role of returns to skill in explaining the differences in American and British earnings inequality in the late nineteenth century.

The majority of previous papers on earnings (or income) inequality examine the changes in inequality over time in an explicitly historical context for particular countries. In several papers, Williamson and Lindert suggest that the earnings inequality of both America and Britain followed a Kuznets inverted U pattern. They argue that British and American earnings inequality increased until the mid-nineteenth century and World War I, respectively, and decreased thereafter (Williamson (1980), Williamson and Lindert (1980, p. 95)).
