This book was born with the intent of preserving part of the traditional recipes belonging to the Mediterranean diet, linked to Southern Italy: an undoubtedly popular cuisine, a nutritional model that has demonstrated to the world its beneficial effects on health and longevity. Particularly, we will focus on the geographical area of Cilento, near the border between Campania and Basilicata regions: a fairy and unspoilt landscape characterized by small villages lurking in the hills, often surrounded by forests, secular trees, mountains, streams and rivers... This is Lucania, the ancient land of Lucani. The origins of the name remain mysterious today: according to some historical studies, it seems that the meaning can be derived from the combination of Latin words ""Lucus"" (""Holy Woods"") and ""Lux"" (""Light""). ""The Lost Recipes"" are now finally rediscovered and made available to everyone in this book, with the hope that you too can become ""Guardians of Tradition"" over time.
A simple, literary, straightforward work, optimized for immediate use and easy: easy to learn even for those who haven't previous notions in the field of cardiac ultrasound and therefore are preparing to face a new course of study or specialization. The heart ultrasound is a non-invasive test using ultrasonic techniques, with proper approach / methods characteristic of medical technology, describing the echocardiographic projections to use, patient positioning, the positioning of the probe, the anatomic structures displayed, reference values directly by international guidelines. The aim of this document is to provide the minimum information for the study of the heart using ultrasound, thus providing an useful diagnostic investigation. In this book the reader will find a valuable ally to deal with the technical aspect of the survey echocardiographic, starting from zero.
Tobacco smoking is considered the big killer and one of the most avoidable risk factors for many human pathologies. Reducing and controlling tobacco smoking should be a primary aim for a certain population, in order to reduce harms to health caused by this important risk factor, and it seems urgent to adopt intervention tools involved in responsibility fields such as health care, education, politics, economy and media. Among health professionals the prevalence of tobacco smoke is extremely high, more than other professional categories, and this could be partly attributed to a low weight that tobacco smoking has in the medical curriculum of future physicians, that will contribute in a determinant way to healthy choices of their patients. In order to realise that, the medical students need to be adequately trained with the aim of acquire competences and skills that help patients to prevent tobacco smoking and to increase smoking cessation, through a programme oriented to specific issue related to the potential harm of tobacco products. A survey conducted by Ferry et al. in the American Schools of Medicine underlined the lack of courses related to tobacco smoking. Moreover, a randomised trial carried out by Cummings et al., the Schools of Medicine result as the ideal setting to teach smoking cessation techniques to health professionals. The National Cancer Institute in 1992 recommended that primary and secondary prevention interventions on tobacco smoking will become mandatory in the curriculum of Medical USA students. However, until now this recommendation still is far from being fully implemented. The aim of the book is to give an overview on the epidemiology of tobacco smoking among different settings and populations, but with a special focus on health professionals and medicals students, and to show available examples of smoking prevention and cessation training in different settings.
