This is a text for practicing pharmacists on the understanding,
management and treatment of Obesity. Obesity is an important risk
factor for a number of chronic conditions such as heart disease,
stroke, some cancers and type two diabetes. It is responsible for
more than 9000 premature deaths a year in England alone and is a
growing problem both among adults and children especially in the UK
and USA. Community pharmacists now have an increasingly important
role in public health. The increased health promotion
responsibility under the new contract in the UK and improved
consultation facilities now available means that a book such as
this is very timely. This text focuses on pharmacists care with the
first part concentrating on the background and epidemiology of the
problem, the current rates of obesity and the facts, also linking
obesity with the emergence of potential public health crisis. Part
two of the text focuses on the prevention of obesity including
prevention on government level, psychological intervention and
exercise and nutrition. The chapters then go on to include the
pharmacological interventions including drugs available and also
surgical interventions and diets. The closing chapter looks at the
structure of the evolving services from community pharmacy
nationally and internationally.
This book is useful for any pharmacists, who need a readily
available source of advice. It is set out in sections and each
section bringing together the questions that relate to one aspect
of the finance or management of community pharmacy.
This book presents a synopsis of six emerging themes in adult
mathematics/numeracy and a critical discussion of recent
developments in terms of policies, provisions, and the emerging
challenges, paradoxes and tensions. It also offers an extensive
review of the literature adult mathematics education. Why do adults
want to learn mathematics? Did they enjoy mathematics at school so
much that they want to continue? NO! Most of these adults have to
learn mathematics because it is part of a formal qualification they
need, because their job demands the ability to apply mathematics,
or because they need basic numeracy in their daily lives. Lastly,
the authors discuss five potential strategies to promote lifelong
learning of mathematics among adult learners.
