Health and Climate Change: Unraveling the Connections researches the linkages between climate change and human health as reported from Mexico, the UK, USA, India, Bangladesh, Cameroon, Nigeria, and Cameroon. The book's chapters cover the multidimensional impacts of climate change on various aspects such as habitability, biodiversity, natural resources, and human health. This information from developed and developing countries will be of immense interest to the global audience of researchers, activists, governments, and others.Climate change, one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century, has serious adverse effects on human health. Extreme climate events increase mortality and morbidity, the prevalence of water- and vector-borne diseases, malnutrition, and respiratory diseases. Climate change has serious effects on mental health. Mental health is impacted directly and indirectly resulting in mental illnesses and suicidal mortality. Global heating, due to the increasing greenhouse effect, has disturbed the energetic balance of the Earth and destroyed its fragile climate. It is creating an atmospheric imbalance with toxins that are affecting the human nervous system and, thereby, impacting health.

Cardiac MRI: Clinical Uncertainty and Patient Outcomes weaves together the essentials of clinical cardiology with advanced principles of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. This case-based atlas reviews a variety of cases where clinical management was modified after CMR revealed an alternative diagnosis than initially suggested by clinical data. It includes over 40 clinical scenarios covering a wide spectrum of common and uncommon cardiac conditions, and how CMR can be utilized in differentiating these disease processes which often have no other method of being diagnosed. This book defines how Cardiac MRI can serve as a valuable tool in the diagnosis of complex cardiac pathologies and aid in the complex treatment management of these patients, whilst key points regarding the limitations of cardiac tests (e.g. EKG, echocardiography, stress tests, catheterization etc.) are highlighted. Additional imaging pearls regarding CMR modalities and image acquisition are also included with each case.Through this book, clinicians in both sub-specialty and primary can understand when to order a cardiac MRI for their patient and the clinical questions it can help the provider solve. The book serves as a reference tool for both cardiologists and radiologists in terms of elucidating how CMR can be utilized as a clinical diagnostic tool to guide management. Whether you take care of complex patients or interpret advanced imaging modalities, like echocardiography or Cardiac MRI, this book is for you!

Deciding with Children in Pediatric Healthcare: Children's Participation in Healthcare Decision-Making provides both the ethical underpinning and practical strategies to meaningfully involve children in decisions that affect their healthcare. The book assists clinicians in bringing the perspectives and values of the child forward so that their preferences can be meaningfully incorporated into decision-making, or appropriately justified when this is not possible. This is to both improve healthcare delivery and serve the best interests of children—now and as ongoing decision-makers in the future.The book begins by reviewing theories underpinning the concept of then presents models for making healthcare decisions with children. Further, clinicians and ethicists come together to demonstrate how to include children in specific cases that cover multiple clinical areas as well as child ages and developments stages. The book concludes with a review of questions, concerns, and challenges.
