The Stikeman Professorship

An Enduring McGill Legacy

By: David S. Mulder

When Richard Alan Stikeman, an incredible businessman, community leader, and family man, died from malignant mesothelioma, his family, friends, and community established the Stikeman Fund for Surgical Advancement and the Stikeman Visiting Professorship in order to commemorate him. Dr Dag Munro, Stikeman's treating surgeon, proposed the concept of an annual visiting professor as a unique way to honour his patient. The primary goal of the fund was to enhance surgical education for students, residents, and faculty in the McGill University Division of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery. In the words of one of the founders – Richard's brother Heward Stikeman – it should "sharpen people" and keep McGill's program at the forefront of cardiothoracic education. Former residents were invited to return on an annual basis. Surgical research was added to the program and benefited from the wisdom of fifty world-class visitors. This contributed to a high degree of loyalty, adhesion, and philanthropy to the division. The Stikeman Visiting Professorship has thus unified cardiothoracic surgery under the McGill umbrella: Dr A.R.C. Dobell identified the professorship as the glue that holds the division together. The Stikeman Visiting Professorship has emerged over the years as an important McGill legacy, its growth and duration a tribute to its founders, builders, and supporters. This book is a celebration of that legacy.

Geriatrics Handbook

Practical Applications for Healthcare Professionals and Patients

By: Venkit S. Iyer MD FACS - David Bernstein MD FACP

People are living longer. Life expectancy has doubled in the last two hundred years. We expect the number of centenarians to be over 200,000 in the next ten years. Those living into their eighties and nineties will be common. Over the next ten years, it is possible that nearly 30 percent of the population will be retired seniors above the age of sixty-five. Increasing longevity and aging has its positives and negatives. It is desirable to see that people are living longer, but they also face an increasing number of health-care and socioeconomic issues. It is a well-established fact that health-care costs increase toward the end of life. Geriatrics is a medical specialty of providing health care for the older adult. Their health-care needs differ somewhat from that of the younger population. This handbook addresses various medical problems as it relates to older patients. Prevention of health hazards and expression of compassionate care deserve as much attention as providing appropriate medical care. Hence, the book is divided into those sections. This handbook is written for the following: Medical professionals who render much of the current geriatric care in many parts of the world. Physicians, physician assistants, nurses, allied professionals, and gerontologists. Students, interns, residents, fellows, those who intend to provide care to aging adults. Aging adults who want a better understanding of aging and health-related problems. Caregivers and family members of aging adults who want and need a handbook to understand aging and important issues aging adults face. Health-care administrators, those who run facilities attending to the health needs of our aging population. Awareness of aging adults' needs, palliative care, and end-of-life issues with their emotional, moral, and financial aspects are often ignored or forgotten in the busy life of a medical practitioner. Today, medical science focuses more on short-term fixes and immediate problem solving instead of treating the whole person. Hence, a considerable amount of a senior's care falls on the shoulders of nurses, aides, and on family members. The practice of geriatric medicine is not attractive to many young physicians. Currently, modern technology, procedures, and frontiers of medical advances are much more attractive, exciting, and more lucrative, although geriatrics is a well-recognized field in Western medicine. The importance of geriatric care is gathering momentum in the rest of the world as more people are aging. The authors sincerely hope this handbook will illuminate the health-care needs of our aging population.

Cleaner, Greener, Healthier

A Prescription for Stronger Canadian Environmental Laws and Policies

By: David R. Boyd

Despite Canada’s enduring image as a natural paradise, every year thousands of Canadians become ill or die prematurely as a result of exposure to environmental hazards. Canadians understand that their health is inextricably linked to the health of the environment and are deeply concerned about the impacts of toxic substances on themselves and their children. In Cleaner, Greener, Healthier, David R. Boyd sets out to remedy Canada’s environmental health problems. He begins by assessing the environmental burden of disease, identifies its unequal distribution along racial and socio-economic lines, and estimates the associated economic costs. He then compares Canadian environmental laws and policies with those in the United States, Australia, and the European Union, delivering a provocative diagnosis of the root causes of Canada’s second-rate standards. Finally, drawing on strategies that protect citizens in other countries, Boyd prescribes legal remedies that will enable Canada to catch up with the world’s environmental leaders while delivering substantial health and economic benefits.

By: David Orentlicher,Mary Anne Bobinski,I. Glenn Cohen,Mark A. Hall

In the Fifth Edition of Bioethics and Public Health Law, financial and ethical issues are integrated into a concise and engaging treatment.

Organic Synthesis Via Examination of Selected Natural Products

By: David J. Hart

Complete with problems and solutions, this book is written for advanced graduate and undergraduate students to expose them to a variety of strategies for the synthesis of organic compounds. This is done largely within the context of natural products synthesis, but includes some unnatural products synthesis. Multiple approaches to each group of synthesis targets are presented, and the approaches are compared with one another with an eye on similarities and differences. General problems in organic synthesis (for example, strategies for the preparation of 6-membered rings and 5-membered rings, the importance of oxidation state, the problem of acyclic diastereoselectivity, the problem of controlling absolute stereochemistry, the importance of functional group relationships) are introduced early in the book and revisited throughout the text within the context of a variety of structurally unrelated natural products. The book includes power-point presentations to provide teachers who do not (or do) specialize in organic synthesis with access to well-organized material they can use in the classroom (with advanced students). The book provides the reader with a somewhat historical overview of organic and natural products chemistry, and spans synthetic methodology that dates from the 1940's to present time. It is written in a style that readers will find entertaining at times. It also contains lots of useful references with complete titles provided. This is much more helpful to the reader than the usual author-journal-year-page information.

The Supervisory Encounter

A Guide for Teachers of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis

By: Daniel Jacobs,Paul David,Donald Jay Meyer

Good supervision is crucial to the training of any therapist. Yet most who are asked to supervise receive little instruction in how best to proceed. What is missing is a theory and technique of supervision that can help them be effective teachers, no matter from what mental health discipline they come. The authors of this book, who have supervised in a variety of educational settings and have taught students from a wide range of mental health disciplines, now provide a theoretical and technical framework for understanding and deepening the supervisory process. They clearly describe phases of supervision (from the opening session to termination), its goals, and the nature and purpose of a number of supervisory interventions. They delineate modes of thinking that are essential to being a good therapist and discuss how best to foster them. They demonstrate how supervision can be intimate, personal, and honest without becoming a form of therapy. Through clinical vignettes, they show how to diagnose impediments to learning and describe strategies for overcoming them. While providing an interesting history of supervision and a portrait of Freud as supervisor, they focus mainly on how newer theories such as self psychology, intersubjectivity, and an interactive two-person psychology influence the practice of supervision.

Nutrition in Crisis

Flawed Studies, Misleading Advice, and the Real Science of Human Metabolism

By: Dr. Richard David Feinman

Almost every day it seems a new study is published that shows you are at risk for diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or death due to something you’ve just eaten for lunch. Many of us no longer know what to eat or who to believe. In Nutrition in Crisis distinguished biochemist Richard Feinman, PhD, cuts through the noise, explaining the intricacies of nutrition and human metabolism in accessible terms. He lays out the tools you need to navigate the current confusion in medical literature and its increasingly bizarre reflection in the media. At the same time, Nutrition in Crisis offers an unsparing critique of the nutritional establishment, which continues to demonize fat and refute the benefits of low-carbohydrate and ketogenic diets—all despite decades of evidence to the contrary. Feinman tells the story of the first low-carbohydrate revolution fifteen years ago, how it began, what killed it, and why a second revolution is now reaching a fever pitch. He exposes the backhanded tactics of a regressive nutritional establishment that ignores good data and common sense, and highlights the innovative work of those researchers who have broken rank. Entertaining, informative, and irreverent, Feinman paints a broad picture of the nutrition world: the beauty of the underlying biochemistry; the embarrassing failures of the medical establishment; the preeminence of low-carbohydrate diets for weight loss, diabetes, other metabolic diseases, and even cancer; and what’s wrong with the constant reports that the foods we’ve been eating for centuries represent a threat rather than a source of pleasure.
