Reigniting the Human Connection - A Pathway to Diversity Equity and Inclusion in Healthcare

Michael P. Wright, Jennifer H. Mieres, Elizabeth C. McCulloch

Sinossi

In order to resolve the significant racial, ethnic, language, and financial inequities that exist in healthcare quality and access, health systems must undertake the development of systematic approaches to advance diversity, inclusion, and health equity.Developed from the data, experience, and research that emerged from ten years of intentional creation of such an approach at Northwell Health, Reigniting the Human Connection: A Pathway to Diversity, Inclusion, and Health Equity offers readers an adaptable framework on which to build their own response. This carefully constructed framework is centered on a holistic vision of care, one that utilizes approaches that support the emergence of patients as partners in their care in order to meet the demands of twenty-first-century healthcare.

Obesity - The other pandemic of...

Ada Cuevas, Donna Ryan

Obesity is becoming one of the preeminent public health concerns, with prevalence increasing throughout the world.
Covering many aspects of contemporary obesity research, this timely book by some of the leading experts in the field explores issues relating to the biology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of obesity, including childhood obesity. The work is attuned to the needs of those living with obesity, with a chapter devoted to
the harm caused by weight stigma and false narratives around lifestyle choices.
'Obesity, the other pandemic of the 21st century' reviews the available evidence to prove that obesity should be considered not just as a key contributor towards other comorbidities, but as a disease by itself. Importantly, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on obesity is addressed, which raised the complexity and severity of the obesity and should be a call to action for the prevention and early treatment of this disease. This book has been developed by World Obesity Federation collaborators, and is aimed at healthcare practitioners, academics, policymakers, students, patients living with obesity and all those impacted by the issue.
The research covered in these pages goes some way towards proving that obesity is quickly becoming 'the other pandemic' of the 21st century. Much like any major pandemic, the consequence of inaction is truly alarming.

Quantum Physics and the Higher...

Anonimo

What if consciousness is not created by the brain, but the field from which all reality emerges?
What if observation itself shapes the world you experience, collapsing infinite potential into form?
What if the discoveries of quantum physics are not new at all—but a scientific echo of ancient esoteric knowledge?
With this audiobook you will discover how thought, emotion, and attention interact with energy; how inner observation transforms perception; and how self-remembering—long taught by esoteric schools—finds confirmation in the laws of quantum science.
Inside this book you will learn:
• How the “observer effect” mirrors self-remembering — and why awareness itself is the true creative act.
• Why the zero-point field is the physical counterpart of meditation — where stillness and infinite energy coexist.
• How consciousness behaves as the fifth state of matter, beyond solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
• Why emotional energy is alchemical fuel — and how conscious suffering converts vibration into light.
• Why synchronicity is not coincidence but feedback from a conscious universe responding to alignment.
• How Gurdjieff’s “inner laboratory” parallels modern physics in transforming energy through attention.
• What quantum entanglement reveals about shared awareness and the unity of all beings.
• How time, memory, and recurrence operate like quantum loops, echoing the eternal return.
• Why awakening is a negentropic process — the reorganization of energy through understanding.

Saving Ryan - The 30-Year...

Emil D Kakkis

Saving Ryan is the inspiring story by physician-scientist Dr. Emil Kakkis about his journey to develop a new, first-ever treatment for an ultra-rare genetic disease called MPS. The scientist had great challenges getting grant and industry support for this rare disease despite the solid science behind doing the treatment. Simultaneously across the country, Mark Dant was in a quest to save his 9-year-old son, Ryan, afflicted by MPS for which there was no cure. Through extraordinary persistence, and with a clock-ticking on Ryan’s declining health, Mr. Dant eventually learns of Dr. Kakkis and his work, whose enzyme replacement therapy could potentially treat Ryan successfully. With renewed hope of saving his son’s life, Mr. Dant turns his attention to fundraising through his own Ryan Foundation to support the continued development of the life-saving treatment. Through an extraordinary series of obstacles and heartaches, Dr. Kakkis develops a successful treatment and ultimately gains the required support of a biotech company to complete the project. Despite early success treating MPS patients, the FDA’s abruptly changing policies caused great uncertainty as to whether the therapy would ever get approved – leading to a dramatic showdown at an FDA Advisory Committee meeting.
