Sedentary Behaviour Epidemiology
This book addresses the origins, determinants and magnitude of the global problem of sedentary behaviour, along with concise yet in-depth solutions for tackling it. As a consequence of major technological advances in modern society, many people find themselves in environments characterized by prolonged sedentary behaviour. Although inadequate exercise has long been known to cause adverse health consequences, sedentary behaviour has recently emerged as a risk factor for the development of numerous chronic diseases and health conditions. Building on the contributions of leading experts in the field, this book presents current knowledge about sedentary behaviour, its medical and public health s...
Neural Correlates of Moral Decision-Making in Psychopaths
Imagine you see an old lady stumbling and you are the only person who could help her. Would you miss your bus after a long working day and take the next bus that leaves in one hour in order to fulfil a social norm by helping the lady? Each individual is faced with moral conflicts - every day. How individuals decide in certain situations may not only depend on external factors but also on their emotions, their understanding of morality and the neural correlates of moral decision-making. Therefore, patients who are characterised by emotional detachment, antisocial and often immoral behavior - psychopaths - might differ from healthy individuals in their behavior and their neural correlates. The present fMRI study is the first that addresses this question and investigates the neural correlates of everyday moral decision-making in psychopaths.
Opportunities and Challenges of Interprofessional Collaboration and Education
Interprofessional collaboration is essential in meeting today's health challenges, which demand high flexibility and innovation. Many health organizations including the World Health Organization (WHO) demand that interprofessional collaboration should be taught and learned globally. Even so, interprofessional education tools have not yet been widely implemented in the curricula of medical professions (incl. physicians, nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, etc.); this training usually takes place separately. Collaboration is necessary in health professions education as it can allow professionals to increase their skills and help them achieve more than they would at an individual level. Collaboration also allows for more open-minded approaches when facing new ways of thinking. When knowledge is shared, healthcare employees are more encouraged to share their own ideas and concerns. These achievements of interprofessionalism within health profession education not only benefit the student and employee, but also optimize patient care and increase patient safety. Productivity can also be increased and therefore, reduce costs overall.

Obesity and Cancer
This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the relationship between obesity and cancer. It opens with a global perspective on obesity and cancer incidence, followed by in-depth discussions of those cancers for which we have sufficient evidence of a causal relationship with obesity. It addresses topics such as the effects of obesity on cancer incidence and cancer survival, the effects of weight gain and weight loss in adulthood on cancer risk, the effects of childhood and adolescent obesity, and the role of body fat distribution in cancer risk. Individual chapters discuss potential pathways for the observed associations and explore possible mechanisms from both an epidemiological and an experimental perspective. It concludes with a population perspective on the cancer risk that is attributable to obesity and is thus potentially avoidable. This book is of particular value to researchers and epidemiologists and is also of interest to public health workers and clinicians.
Focus on Gynecologic Malignancies
Gynecologic malignancies, especially endometrial and ovarian cancers are among the most important and most severely affected by obesity. This volume of Energy Balance and Cancer, written by the world’s leading experts in this field, is arranged to provide a transdisciplinary assessment of the pertinent issues, results of relevant research on mechanisms, and control, strategies for dealing with affected patients and improving outcomes and future research needs. The volume comprehensively covers the epidemiology linking obesity to endometrial and ovarian cancer as well as the public awareness of this critical problem. Subsequent chapters explain biologic aspects of linkages between energy ba...

Gesundheitsrisiko Klimawandel
Die Durchschnittstemperaturen und viele weitere Indikatoren für den Klimawandel erreichen immer neue Höchstwerte. Während große Teile der Bevölkerung sich vor Hitze, UV-Strahlung und anderen Risiken - etwa durch Aufsuchen kühler Räume - schützen können, sind klimabedingte Gesundheitsrisiken für Outdoor-Sportler, Außenbeschäftigte und andere Risikogruppen, die sich in ihrer Freizeit oder aus beruflichen Gründen im Freien aufhalten, besonders groß. Dies gilt beispielsweise für Fußball, Leichtathletik, Rad-, Wasser- und Wintersport genauso wie für Hoch- und Tiefbau, Landwirtschaft und Gartenbau, Rettungswesen und Kindertagesstätten. Diese Neuerscheinung vereint die Expertise v...
