Practice, Principles and Philosophy

Practice, Principles and Philosophy: "Health Promotion is a term that has been applied to a wide range of approaches to improving health of people, communities and populations. In this paper, SHEPS is providing a clear vision of contemporary health promotion. The 'umbrella' picture identifies a range of elements of health promotion. Members of SHEPS fulfil a wide range of health promoting roles. But whatever the particular focus of our health promotion work, we believe that health promotion needs to be grounded in firm principles and philosophy. Built on these, the foundations of health promotion are its evidence and theory and these support a range of competencies and capacities. These in turn support a range of health promotion practices and processes. "/.../

Safety of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients With Cardiovascular Devices

Advances in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging over the past 2 decades have led to MR becoming an increasingly attractive imaging modality. With the growing number of patients treated with permanent implanted or temporary cardiovascular devices, it is becoming ever more important to clarify safety issues in regard to the performance of MR examinations in patients with these devices. Extensive, although not complete, ex vivo, animal, and clinical data are available from which to generate recommendations regarding the safe performance of MR examination in patients with cardiovascular devices, as well as to ascertain caveats and contraindications regarding MR examination for such patients. Safe MR imaging involves a careful initial patient screening, accurate determination of the permanent implanted or temporary cardiovascular device and its properties, a thoughtful analysis of the risks and benefits of performing the examination at that time, and, when indicated, appropriate physician management and supervision. This scientific statement is intended to summarize and clarify issues regarding the safety of MR imaging in patients with cardiovascular devices.

Patients' charters and health responsibilities

Harald Schmidt, assistant director
1 Nuffield Council on Bioethics, London WC1B 3JS
We all have responsibility for our health, the health of others, and to the organisations that provide health care. But, as Harald Schmidt describes, specifying and formalising these duties can create ethical problems

Investimentos: Clima x gastos militares

PNUD Brasil: "Para evitar que o aquecimento global ganhe proporções irreversíveis, o mundo precisa investir menos de dois terços do que gasta com armamentos militares, afirma o Relatório de Desenvolvimento Humano 2007/2008, do PNUD. As estimativas apresentadas no estudo apontam que seria necessário despender até 2030 o equivalente a 1,6% do PIB (Produto Interno Bruto) mundial, anualmente, para impedir que a temperatura do planeta suba mais que 2º C — depois desse patamar, "os riscos de futuras alterações climáticas catastróficas aumentam significativamente". Em armamentos, o mundo desembolsa 2,53% do PIB."

Adolescent Overweight and Future Adult Coronary Heart Disease

Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, Ph.D., M.D., Pamela Coxson, Ph.D., Mark J. Pletcher, M.D., M.P.H., James Lightwood, Ph.D., and Lee Goldman, M.D., M.P.H.
Background The effect of adolescent overweight on future adult coronary heart disease (CHD) is not known.

Conclusions Although projections 25 or more years into the future are subject to innumerable uncertainties, extrapolation from current data suggests that adolescent overweight will increase rates of CHD among future young and middle-aged adults, resulting in substantial morbidity and mortality.
