Essa obra apresenta ao leitor os fundamentos da cinesiologia e da análise cinesiofuncional, tratando dos principais conceitos dessas áreas, das disfunções do movimento, da avaliação e das designações de condutas úteis para o dia a dia da vida acadêmica e profissional.
A anatomofisiologia remonta há séculos, ainda quando a dissecação de cadáveres era premissa básica para se conhecer e categorizar estruturas do corpo humano, bem como para delimitar o funcionamento de órgãos que, interagindo fisiologicamente, executam diversos processos necessários à manutenção da vida.Neste livro, para além do conhecimento básico de que o corpo humano conforma uma estrutura material muito organizada e complexa – células formam tecidos, tecidos formam órgãos, órgãos formam sistemas e sistemas formam o organismo –, as autoras inter-relacionam aspectos estruturais e funcionais do organismo humano com vistas a ampliar esse conhecimento aos diversos profissionais de saúde, como nutricionistas, fisioterapeutas, enfermeiros, entre outros.
É comum confundir Práticas Integrativas e Complementares em Saúde (Pics) com práticas alternativas, embora sejam recursos distintos. As práticas alternativas se contrapõem ou substituem o tratamento convencional, ao passo que as Pics são recursos terapêuticos que têm como objetivo prevenir doenças e recuperar a saúde do indivíduo.Nesse contexto, esta obra busca esclarecer o que são as Pics, apresentar técnicas que utilizam abordagens físicas e sociais, como a dança circular, a reflexoterapia e a crenoterapia, e fornecer subsídios a profissionais que desejam atuar nessa área, de modo que eles possam experienciar os benefícios dessas práticas e aplicá-las naqueles que delas necessitam.
As práticas integrativas e complementares (PICs) são compostas por conhecimentos tradicionais que visam à prevenção e à recuperação das saúdes física, mental e emocional. No entanto, para que sejam efetivas, é necessário que os profissionais da área tenham conhecimentos técnicos das áreas de química e biologia, de modo que possam desenvolver um atendimento que contemple tanto a medicina tradicional quanto a biomedicina.Por isso, nesta obra, temos como objetivo abordar campos do saber relacionados ao modelo biomédico, como anatomia e fisiologia humanas, epidemiologia, farmacologia e patologia, bem como apresentar as políticas nacionais de saúde que contemplam as PICs.
Se você já atua ou quer atuar na gestão de serviços de saúde, é essencial que compreenda as particularidades – práticas, conceituais e legais – que caracterizam essa área e determinam o seu funcionamento.Assim, para lhe ajudar a entender como aplicar esses conhecimentos na sua prática profissional, além de desenvolver uma fundamentação teórica sobre o assunto, nesta obra apresentamos casos concretos que demonstram na prática o que está sendo tratado.Junte-se a nós neste estudo e perceba como lidar com o alto grau de complexidade que marca a gestão de instituições de saúde, públicas ou privadas.
Matters related to sustainable development, albeit global in nature, are best handled at the local level. This line of thinking is particularly true to the higher education context, where the design and implementation of sustainability initiatives on campuses can demonstrate how a given university translates the principles of sustainable development into practice, at the institutional level. Yet, there is a paucity of specific events where a dialogue among sustainability academics and practitioners concerned with a) research, projects b) teaching and c) planning and infra-structure leading to campus greening takes place, so as to allow a transdisciplinary and cross-sectoral exchange of ideas...
This book provides postgraduate trainees with 50 real clinical cardiology cases. Divided into fourteen sections, several cases are presented under each category covering various disorders of the cardiac system, including congenital heart diseases, aortic valve diseases, pulmonary diseases, ECG abnormalities, cardiac arrhythmias, coronary artery disease and much more. Beginning with a brief history and findings based on physical examination, each case then includes analytical discussion on bedside investigations and proposals for treatment. Authored by a recognised expert in the field, this practical book is highly illustrated with echocardiographic, radiographic and electrocardiographic data. Key points Presents 50 real clinical cardiology cases Covers numerous disorders of the cardiac system Authored by recognised cardiologist Includes more than 217 images, illustrations and tables
Common Names of Angolan Plants presents an updated and expanded catalogue of several thousand common names recorded for the indigenous and exotic floristic riches of Angola. Separate alphabetical lists of common names and accepted scientific names are provided and reference is made to the synonyms under which they were recorded. Where known, the languages are given throughout. The book provides biodiversity specialists and researchers in a broad spectrum of scientific and other endeavors, linguists, students and other stakeholders with the basic information on the common names of Angolan plants that has been unavailable for a long time. It represents a further critically important step towards assembling the knowledge of the flora of the country into a single, modern, easily accessible and scientifically sound framework.
The vertebral spine is a key element of the human anatomy. Its main role is to protect the spinal cord and the main blood vessels. The axial skeleton, with its muscles and joints, provides stability for the attachment of the head, tail and limbs and, at the same time, enables the mobility required for breathing and for locomotion. Despite its great importance, the vertebral spine is often over looked by researchers because: a) vertebrae are fragile in nature, which makes their fossilization a rare event; b) they are metameric (seriated and repeated elements) that make their anatomical determination and, thus, their subsequent study difficult; and c) the plethora of bones and joints involved ...
Climate change is a matter of global concern and specific sectors of society such as universities need to engage and be active in the search for regional and local solutions for what is a global problem. Despite the fact that many universities all around the world are undertaking remarkable efforts in tackling the challenges posed by climate change, few of such works are widely documented and disseminated. The book "Universities and Climate Change" addresses this gap. The book pursues three aims. Firstly, it presents a review of the approaches and methods to inform, communicate and educate university students and the public on climate change being used by universities around the world. Secondly, it introduces initiatives, projects and communication strategies undertaken by universities with a view to informing students and other stakeholders in order to raise awareness on matters related to climate change. Finally, the book documents, promotes and disseminates some of the on-going initiatives.
