2020Amino Acids in Prevention and Treatment
A selection for clinical practice
by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Klaus Kisters
In contrast to vitamins and minerals, for a long time, science paid only scant attention to amino acids, but this all changed when scientists Robert F. Furchgott, Louis J. Ignarro and Ferid Murad received the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1998 for their work on amino acids. Pharmacist Uwe Gröber, Head of the Academy for Micronutrient Medicine in Essen and Prof. Klaus Kisters, MD, Head of the Department of Medicine at St Anna Hospital in Herne – both experts in micronutrient medicine – have reviewed the subject and explain clearly and in practical terms: ■ The importance of individual amino acids for our health ■ How they are optimally used in combination with vitamins, minerals and trace elements ■ Which diseases can be positively influenced in this way. ■ Effects on colds and influenza, cold sores, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, ADHD as well as stress and burnout are examined in more detail. A further chapter is devoted to amino acids and their use in sportsmen and -women.

Die Mission der Gesundheitserziehung Hadassah
by Prof. Schifra Shvarts und Dr. Zipora Shehory-Rubin mit Prof. Yoel Donchin
Die Mission der Gesundheitserziehung Hadassah: Die amerikanischen zionistischen Frauen im Heiligen Land von Prof. Schifra Shvarts und Dr. Zipora Shehory-Rubin mit Prof. Yoel Donchin Die Buch Hadassah behandelt die Themen Frauen, Gesundheit und Zionismus. Das Buch konzentriert sich hauptsächlich auf das einzigartige Bestreben der Mitglieder der Hadassah Women's Organisation, die es als ihre Aufgabe ansahen, auf der Grundlage ihrer amerikanischen Erfahrungen im Bereich moderne öffentliche Gesundheitsdienste für die jüdische Gemeinde in Palästina unter britischer Herrschaft ein Gesundheitswesen aufzubauen. In diesen ersten zehn Jahren erhielten 46.000 schwangere Frauen und 53.000 Kinder Hilfe durch dieses Gesundheitssystem, Krankenschwestern erledigten 700.000 Hausbesuche, und die 44 Mütter- und Säuglingsstationen, die flächendeckend ihre Dienste bereitstellten, wurden 1,7 Millionen Mal besucht. Dank dieser Dienste sank die Kindersterblichkeit in der jüdischen Gemeinde signifikant von 144 pro 1000 im Jahre 1922 auf 54 pro 1000 im Jaher 1939 (im Vergleich zu 50 pro 1000 in den USA und 53 pro 1000 in Großbritannien). Kein anderer vergleichbarer Dienst hat in so kurzer Zeit so bemerkenswerte Ergebnisse erzielt. Alle öffentlichen Gesundheitsdienste unter dem Dach der Hadassah waren für alle Menschen gleichermaßen zugänglich, einschließlich der arabischen Bevölkerung. Die Mission wurde hauptsächlich von der zionistischen Ideologie des Aufbaus einer neuen, körperlich und geistig gesunden Nation getragen. Der öffentliche Gesundheitsauftrag dieser amerikanischen Frauen war ein integraler Bestandteil des zionistischen Engagements zu diesem Zeitpunkt. Doch im Gegensatz zu anderen Bereichen der zionistischen Tätigkeit in Palästina während dieser Zeit wurde die Organisation ausschließlich von Frauen getragen. Dieses Buch ist die Geschichte dieser engagierten amerikanischen zionistischen Frauen und ihrer bemerkenswerten Leistungen und Beiträge für die Gesundheit der jüdischen Gemeinde in Palästina in der Frühzeit des Aufbaus des Landes. Das Buch Hadassah enthält Original-Bilder, die vor ein paar Jahren in einem der alten Hadassah-Lagerräume in Jerusalem von Prof. Yoel Donchin entdeckt wurden und derzeit in einer Sonderausstellung im Jerusalem Theater gezeigt werden. Über die Autoren Schifra Shvarts, Ph.D., ist außerordentliche Professorin für Geschichte der Medizin an der Ben-Gurion-Universität und wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Gertner-Institut für Epidemiologie und Health Policy Research, Sheba Medical Center. Sie ist spezialisiert auf die soziale Geschichte der Medizin und der öffentlichen Gesundheit vom neunzehnten zum zwanzigsten Jahrhundert in Israel. Sie hat sechs Bücher über die Entwicklung und Geschichte des israelischen Gesundheitswesens veröffentlicht. Sie ist auch die Autorin der israelischen HMO-Indizes in der israelischen Medical Encyclopedia und der Encyclopedia Judaica. Zipora Shehory-Rubin, Ph.D., ist Senior Lecturer am Kaye Academic College of Education in Beer-Sheva, Israel, wo sie die Geschichte der Pädagogik und die hebräische Sprache lehrt. Sie erhielt ihr Ph.D. in Geschichte auf der Ben-Gurion-University des Negev, nachdem sie Ihre Dissertation über die erzieherischen und Gesundheitsaktivitäten der Hassadah in Palästina unter britischem Mandat abgeschlossen hatte. Ihre Publikationen umfassen Bücher und Artikel über verschiedene Aspekte der Geschichte der Bildung und der Geschichte der Medizin. Prof. Yoel Donchin, MD, ist ein klinischer Professor für Anästhesie und Intensivmedizin am Hadassah Medical Center, Hebrew University, Jerusalem. Nach Absolvieren der Hadassah Medical School begann er für Hadassah zu arbeiten, wo er ist jetzt Leiter des Patient Safety Center ist. Er rettete und archivierte mehr als 1.000 Fotografien und Filme aus den frühen Jahren der Hadassah. Zurzeit ist er Präsident der Israelischen Gesellschaft für Geschichte der Medizin. Eine E-Book-Ausgabe für Amazon Kindle, Apple i-Pad und andere Formate wurde im Sommer 2011 von SWS, Inc., CA, herausgegeben geplant.

2023Formularium paediatricum
Prescriptions for children in paediatric practice
by Edited by Dr. Andreas S. Ziegler, Nadine Metzger and Prof. Dr. Dagmar Fischer. In collaboration with Prof. Dr. Peter Langguth, Dr. Stefan Seyferth and Dr. Norbert Ohem
When children are ill, there is often a lack of suitable proprietary medicines. With experience and expertise, pharmacies close this gap. In the process, they are often confronted with complex questions before preparing a medicine: Is the dosage right? Which dosage form will be accepted by the child? How do I process the active ingredient in a child-friendly way? Which excipients are suitable? Formularium paediatricum provides answers to these and numerous other questions: ■ 70 monographs on tested standard formulations describe the preparation process step-by-step and explain paediatric specifics in terms of formulation. ■ an annotated list of common paediatric excipients as well as comprehensive explanations for evaluating children‘s formulations help to assess unknown, non-standardised formulations. Whenever it is a case of extemporaneous medicines for children: the Formularium paediatricum assists in the preparation in the pharmacy to succeed safely and confidently.

2023Textbook of Korean Medicine
Medicinal drugs and formulations
by Dr. Kenny Kuchta, Prof. Dr. Hans Wilhelm Rauwald, Hans Rausch and Dr. Raimund Royer
The consistent and evidence-based development of Korean medicine in many clinical application areas has significantly improved its international status in recent years. The basis for this development is one of the most important medical books in Korea, the „Donguibogam“, a clinical lexicon of applications compiled about 400 years ago; at that time the traditional work also enjoyed the highest recognition in China. In 2009 it was included in the „Memory of the World“ register of UNESCO. Even now after 400 years, it still serves as a manual for writing prescriptions for many physicians in Korea, and testifies that the understanding of nature and human disease patterns is still current and clinically applicable even in the modern industrialised world. This work provides ■ understanding for Korean medicine, ■ many selected medicinal formulations and their fields of application, ■ the description and evaluation of important traditional single remedies, ■ the corresponding drug monographs with information on analytical testing

Children's & YAA oficina do Cambeva (Cambeva's workshop)
by Lido Loschi
Cambeva's workshop is the first of four books of the collection "Presente de Vô" in partnership with Grupo Ponto de Partida. The book is a mixture of colours and elements that highlight the memory of the world, in which seekers of memories have the mission of bringing light and life to objects found in the travels of two characters: Zalém and Calunga. Cambeva is a restorer who, when the world lost its embrace, tried to reinvent it; he is the grandfather who mends dreams, forgotten things and lost emotions, to whom the seekers ask for help to fix something. In a magical universe, full of children, grandchildren, stories and memories of his lineage of restorers, when faced with this request for restoration, he makes room to bring back an emblematic figure who can no longer sing. A story about memories, care and affection...

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2017Child, nation, race and empire
Child rescue discourse, England, Canada and Australia, 1850–1915
by Margot Hillel, Shurlee Swain, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie
Child, nation, race and empire is an innovative, inter-disciplinary, cross cultural study that contributes to understandings of both contemporary child welfare practices and the complex dynamics of empire. It analyses the construction and transmission of nineteenth-century British child rescue ideology. Locating the origins of contemporary practice in the publications of the prominent English Child rescuers, Dr Barnardo, Thomas Bowman Stephenson, Benjamin Waugh, Edward de Montjoie Rudolf and their colonial disciples and literature written for children, it shows how the vulnerable body of the child at risk came to be reconstituted as central to the survival of nation, race and empire. Yet, as the shocking testimony before the many official enquiries into the past treatment of children in out-of-home 'care' held in Britain, Ireland, Australia and Canada make clear, there was no guarantee that the rescued child would be protected from further harm.

Guidelines for physicians and pharmacists
by Prof. Dr. Klaus Friese, Prof. Dr. Klaus Mörike Prof. Dr. Gerd Neumann and Dr. Wolfgang E. Paulus
The risks in connection with the unborn child and infant when prescribing and dispensing medicinal products are adequately known. However, a sound knowledge of safety issues and precise recommendations – rather than the blanket forgoing of medicinal treatment – is crucial for providing expert, professional advice.

The now ninth edition of this standard reference work provides the necessary professional knowledge not only for all physicians and pharmacists who wish to support their pregnant and breast-feeding patients through competent advice, but also for midwives: - Information about embryonal development and developmental disorders - Well over 1000 drug substances with all important medicinal products, assessed individually - Classification according to FDA and ADEC - Differentiated risk assessment, based on current literature - Personal recommendations of the experienced and well-known team of authors from the realms of gynaecology, paediatric medicine and clinical pharmacology. The new edition contains many new assessments from current studies.

2020Vitamin D
The healing power of the sunshine vitamin
by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Michael F. Holick
Vitamin D deficiency is a global health problem that puts the quality of life and life expectancy of more than a billion children and adults at risk worldwide. Many lifestyle diseases may be associated with vitamin D deficiency: myocardial infarction, infections, cancer, neurological diseases, stroke, type 2 diabetes, to name just a few. This 4th updated edition incorporates numerous new insights into the therapeutic effect of vitamin D, including its importance for a healthy pregnancy, prenatal imprinting, optimum sporting performance, diabetes mellitus and autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or multiple sclerosis. Since the metabolism and the effect of vitamin D are supported by a complex network of micronutrients – for example, magnesium, vitamin A or vitamin K – a specific chapter is devoted to this network. Here, the reader can discover how vitamin D successfully protects against diseases, improves the quality of life and optimises medication and treatment!
