This volume grows out of the belief that diversity needs recognition and support from a favourable social environment. More precisely, the different members of diverse societies need recognition and support. This monograph is intended to provide a comparative perspective on the challenges faced in selected European countries (Croatia, Germany, Poland, Slovenia and the UK) with regard to equal access to healthcare and ways of handling them. The authors of the chapters comprising this volume, each within their specialty and in their own way, attempt to identify the different forms and dimensions in which we can be different and the barriers to our flourishing in, and with our differences.
Das Werk basiert auf den Ergebnissen des BMBF-Projekts "S.I.T.E. - Schaffung eines Innovationsmilieus für Telemedizin". Im Zentrum stehen die Analyse und die Systematisierung von Erfolgsfaktoren zur nachhaltigen Etablierung der Telemedizin in der Versorgung, mit Fokus auf dem Telemonitoring. Darauf aufbauend werden interdisziplinäre, praxistaugliche Lösungsansätze entwickelt und dargestellt. Dazu zählen u. a. Qualifikationsprogramme und die Möglichkeiten der Zertifizierung. Schließlich kommen auch zahlreiche namhafte Experten zu Wort und schildern ihre Sicht auf die wesentlichen Erfolgskriterien in der Telemedizin.
Bei personenbezogenen Dienstleistungen ist das Objekt der Dienstleistung ein Subjekt. Damit stellen sich besondere Anforderungen an die Individualisierung von Dienstleistungsarbeit und den Umgang mit der sich daraus ergebenden Interaktionsdynamik. Zugleich wird es angesichts sich verändernder Rahmenbedingungen immer wichtiger, Skalen-, Synergie- und Rationalisierungseffekte zu erzielen. Wie lässt sich beides miteinander verbinden? Dazu sind in der vorliegenden Publikation grundlegende Reflexionen und prototypische Lösungsansätze zu finden. Sie basieren auf Erfahrungen, die zunächst im Anwendungsfeld „Seltene Krankheiten“ gewonnen wurden, sich aber auch auf andere Bereiche übertragen lassen.
Die dritte Ausgabe des Jahrbuchs HealthCapital Berlin-Brandenburg widmet sich dem Thema Telemedizin, das sowohl in Hinsicht auf wirtschaftliche Aspekte als auch unter dem Gesichtspunkt der Verbesserung der Versorgung eine wichtige Rolle in der Gesundheitsregion Berlin-Brandenburg spielt. Ausgewiesene Fachleute aus Wissenschaft, Wirtschaft und Praxis geben in vier Schwerpunktkapiteln einen Einblick in aktuelle Entwicklungen und zukunftsweisende Verbundprojekte aus der Region. Darüber hinaus werden die Rahmenbedingungen für telemedizinische Anwendungen diskutiert; deren Erfolgsfaktoren aber auch deren Grenzen.
Membrane techniques are an excellent alternative to traditional methods of purification and separation. This book covers issues related to the most recent developments in the field of membrane techniques. The latest scientific research and their potential applications in industrial solutions are described. In addition, currents trends in food & beverages technologies, and biomedicine are discussed. Moreover, the book emphasizes recent advancements in design of membrane systems, used either for separation or creation of mixtures, from the perspective of industry 4.0 and data management.
Human Blood Plasma Proteins gives an overview of the proteins found in human blood plasma, with special emphasis on their structure and function and relationship to pathological states and disease. Topics covered include: introduction to blood components and blood plasma proteins blood plasma protein domains, motifs and repeats blood plasma protein families and posttranslational modifications blood coagulation and fibrinolysis the complement system the immune system enzymes inhibitors lipoproteins hormones cytokines and growth factors transport and storage The information of each protein discussed in this book in some detail is summarised at the end of each chapter in a Data Sheet, where one can find the most important data of each protein at one glance. Full cross-referencing to protein databases is given and many of the proteins discussed are accompanied by their 3D structure. Attractively presented in full colour, Human Blood Plasma Proteins is an essential atlas of this proteome for anyone working in biochemistry, protein chemistry and proteomics, structural biology, and medicine.
This book presents recent advances in inorganic nanomaterials for healthcare, with focus on the synthesis, medical applications and toxicity of metals, metal oxides and metal sulfides. Major applications include diagnosis, bioimaging, biosensing, healing and therapy in cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, metabolic syndrome, dentistry and antimicrobials.
This book provides an overview of biocomposite chemistry, chemical modifications, characterization and applications in biomedicine, with emphasis on recent advances in the field. Authored by experts, the chapters discuss the design, development and selection of biomedical composites for a particular therapeutic application, as well as providing insight into the regulatory and clinical aspects of biomedical composite use. While this book is primarily intended for scientists from the fields of medical, pharmaceutical, biotechnological and biomedical engineering, it is also useful as an advanced text for students and research scholars.
Primary care medicine is the new frontier in medicine. Every nation in the world has recognized the necessity to deliver personal and primary care to its people. This includes first-contact care, care based in a posi tive and caring personal relationship, care by a single healthcare pro vider for the majority of the patient's problems, coordination of all care by the patient's personal provider, advocacy for the patient by the pro vider, the provision of preventive care and psychosocial care, as well as care for episodes of acute and chronic illness. These facets of care work most effectively when they are embedded in a coherent integrated approach. The support for primary care derives from several significant trends. First, technologically based care costs have rocketed beyond reason or availability, occurring in the face of exploding populations and diminish ing real resources in many parts of the world, even in the wealthier nations. Simultaneously, the primary care disciplines-general internal medicine and pediatrics and family medicine-have matured significantly.
