The Economics of International Trade and the Environment

The Economics of International Trade and the Environment

Issues related to environmental protection and trade liberalization have moved to the forefront of international policy agendas. The Economics of International Trade and the Environment explores - from an economic standpoint - many of the questions that are germane in increasing our knowledge of environmental policy in the presence of international trade and trade policy in the presence of environmental externalities. Ultimately we must ask What can economic theory tell us about the connections between environmental and trade policy? This book uses the tools of game and microeconomic theory to analyze diverse issues such as: the effects of international trade in waste products on illegal disposal the nature of environmental policy when market structure and plant locations are endogenous and the issue of ecological dumping. The authors apply economic theory to practical settings to ascertain the extent to which this theory can inform policy decisions about problems at the interface of international trade and the environment. Edited by well-known researchers and authors this is the only resource that can serve as an effective guide to the theoretical and empirical literature on international trade and the environment. The Economics of International Trade and the Environment provides comprehensive coverage on a wide variety of topics and contains the most recent contributions in this area and is suitable as a graduate course in Economics and International Trade

Thus coming closest to what doctors do in real life: obtain a structured history perform a focussed examination and explain the problem to the patient in lay terms. This book takes readers through a rational approach to 63 common presenting symptoms or laboratory abnormalities in medicine. It is aimed at improving the clinical consultation skills of young doctors and preparing them for the new format of MRCP PACES. Readers will learn: 1. The approaches to common presenting symptoms and blood test abnormalities. 2. What questions to ask the patient and why. 3. What to check when they examine the patient. 4. What to tell the patient and how to convey this information in lay terms without jargon. 5. How to investigate the problem how to manage and when to refer to a specialist. Key Features • This book follows a narrative style with each case being discussed in a story-like manner helping readers understand the process of narrowing the differential diagnosis just like solving a crime! • It includes a ‘What to tell the patient’ section where the main points to convey to the patient are highlighted and fully dialogued to help readers understand how complex medical jargon should be conveyed in layperson's terms. • It simplifies several complex and difficult-to-understand topics like haematological malignancies thrombotic microangiopathy glomerulonephritis systemic vasculitis and eosinophilia. | Clinical Consultation Skills in Medicine A Primer for MRCP PACES

Bariatric Surgery Patients A Nutritional Guide

Bariatric Surgery Patients A Nutritional Guide

Approximately 65% of our population is overweight and 12% are morbidly obese. This is despite more than 25 years of attempted medical management. Clearly all current efforts have failed to control this enormous problem. Could it be that we have failed to recognize the cause of the disease and therefore have misdirected our efforts? � Alfredo Fernandez MD FASMBS Surgeon Tampa Florida Reducing obesity through bariatric surgery provides a sustainable weight loss regimen because it restricts the size of the stomach and limits food intake. However the surgery limits the amount of nutrients absorbed by the stomach and small intestine. This book provides a comprehensive practical guide on pre- and post-nutrition considerations in bariatric patients. It describes surgeries including gastric bypass lap band and sleeve; nutrition protocols for surgery patients; pregnancy considerations- pre- and post-surgery; food consumption post-surgery; advancing healthy food intake after surgery; minimizing negative side effects; and recommendations to maintain healthy diet. This nutritional guide provides health care practitioners descriptions and answers to the many questions bariatric surgery patients need to know and ask in support group meetings and individual counseling sessions. The first chapter focuses on Selling Obesity and Food as a Cheap and Legal Drug outlining how food advertising portion size increases and food frauds have contributed to the obesity crisis. New research into gut hormones microbiome influence on obesity firmicutes and histamine are included as well as pregnancy after bariatric surgery and lifestyle changes�eating sleep hydration stress management�needed for success after surgery.
