    Where There Is No Psychiatrist: A Mental Health Care Manual
    ( 2018)
    Vikram Patel, Charlotte Hanlon
    There is no health without mental health! Even though mental health and physical health go hand in hand, in reality the focus for most health work ers is mainly on physical health. In recent years, there has been growing awareness about the bur den of mental health problems, from relatively mild and short-lived states of distress, to more severe clinical disorders and disabilities which can last for long periods. Mental health problems are common, occurring in all societies and in all social classes, and across the life course. They are particularly common in certain groups of people, for example, those attending primary health care facilities, people with chronic physical health problems (e.g. HIV, diabetes), pregnant and post natal women, and people who have been exposed to conflict or violence. All can benefit from inter ventions which can be delivered by general health workers equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills and, where possible, supported by men tal health specialists. Mental health is a basic aspect of care for all health workers. It is essential that, just as with physical illnesses, the health worker is well informed about how to detect mental health problems and how to help people recover. It is with this goal in mind that this manual has been written.

    Primary Angioplasty
    ( 2018)
    Timothy J Watson, Paul JL Ong, James E Tcheng (Editors)
    "This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This quick-reference handbook offers a concise and practical review of key aspects of the treatment of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the era of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). In the context of STEMI, PPCI is the preferred mode of emergency revascularization. Access to PPCI is rapidly increasing and is now routinely practiced in both general and specialist hospitals and there has been a recent emphasis on developing STEMI networks to enhance and expedite the referral pathway. This coupled with concurrent developments to enhance the safety and efficacy of the PPCI procedure has heralded an era where STEMI interventions are increasingly considered an important subspecialty within interventional cardiology. Written by leading cardiologists who have been instrumental in the adoption of PPCI in their respective institutions, the book provides junior and senior cardiologists alike with insightful and thought-provoking tips and tricks to enhance the success of PPCI procedures, which may in turn translate into direct improvements in outcomes. The book is also relevant for healthcare providers and emergency department physicians." This work is licensed under a CC BY
