Current Studies in HIV Research

Seyed Ahmad Seyed Alinaghi

Summary

Current Studies in HIV Research brings key topics in HIV/AIDS research to the fore by compiling reviews prepared by HIV/AIDS experts. Readers will benefit from the extensive range of topics covered in this book.  Each of the 24 chapters of this volume present a  brief account of major facets of HIV/AIDS research including epidemiology, HIV prevention, basic virology, clinical studies (including co-infection with mycobacteria and hepatitis viruses), antiretroviral therapy, treatment options for specific patient groups (such as pregnant women and elderly patients), patient psychology and public health concerns. The book also presents information about issues encountered in practical situations such as management models for non-governmental organizations (NGOs), community involvement in HIV programs and sampling methods in HIV research. 
Current Studies in HIV Research is, therefore, a useful guide to research information for novice epidemiologists, clinicians, psychologists, sociologists and managers involved in planning and implementing HIV/AIDS research, prevention and monitoring projects.

Integrative Medicine - Combining...

Ava Westwood

Integrative medicine is a rapidly growing approach to healthcare that combines the best of conventional medicine with alternative therapies. It is grounded in the belief that healing involves a holistic approach to health, considering the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—rather than just treating isolated symptoms. This approach does not reject conventional medical treatments but instead seeks to complement them with safe, evidence-based alternative therapies that address the root causes of illness and promote overall wellness.  
The modern healthcare system, dominated by conventional medicine, often focuses on diagnosing and treating specific diseases, typically through pharmaceutical drugs, surgery, or other medical interventions. While this model has brought about significant advancements, particularly in the treatment of acute conditions, it has its limitations, particularly in the management of chronic diseases, mental health issues, and the promotion of preventative care. As a result, many individuals are turning to alternative medicine, which encompasses a broad range of practices that lie outside the scope of mainstream medical practices. These therapies, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage therapy, and mind-body techniques like meditation and yoga, offer a more holistic approach that considers not just the physical symptoms of an illness but also the emotional, social, and spiritual well-being of the individual. 
Integrative medicine seeks to bridge the gap between these two distinct systems by combining the strengths of conventional treatments with the gentler, more personalized approaches offered by alternative therapies. It emphasizes a patient-centered model of care, in which the healthcare provider works closely with the patient to develop a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to their specific needs.

Accidental Kindness - A Doctor's...

Michael Stein

We will all be patients sooner or later. And when we go to the doctor, when we're hurting, we tend to think in terms of cause and condemnation. We often look for relief not only from physical symptoms but also from our self-blame. We want from our doctors kindness under any of its many names: empathy, caring, compassion, humanity. We look for safety and forgiveness. But we forget that doctors, too, are often in need of forgiveness—from their patients and from themselves. No doctor enters the medical profession expecting to be unkind or to make mistakes, but because of the complexity of our current medical system and because doctors are human, they often find themselves acting much less kindly than they would like to. Drawing on his work as a primary care physician and a behavioral scientist, Michael Stein artfully examines the often conflicting goals of patients and their doctors. In those differences, Stein recognizes that kindness should not be a patient’s forbidden or unrealistic expectation. This book leaves us with new knowledge of and insights into what we might hope for, and what might go wrong, or right, in the most intimate clinical moments.
