Title A name given to the resource EDUCATION TO PROTECT TOMORROW,” THE ROLE OF THE NURSE IN DIABETIC FOOT CARE Description An account of the resource Diabetes also called diabetes mellitus is a group of diseases that result in too much sugar in the blood (high blood glucose). According to WHO diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Diabetes mellitus is a heterogenous group of metabolic disorders characterized by hyperglycemia due to absolute or relative deficit in insulin production or action. Chronic hyperglycemia of diabetes mellitus is associated with end organ damage, dysfunction and failure, including the retina, kidney, nervous system, heart and blood vessels. • Diabetes can lead to impairment/loss of eyesight, kidney, coronary heart disease, neuropathy etc., if it is uncontrolled. • Currently, there is no cure for diabetes and the healthcare providers have over the years made effort to put policies and strategies (promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative) to manage and care for our clients. In furtherance of best practice, we need to pay attention to another aspect of care -the Diabetic Foot Care Service which requires skills, foot care equipment for evidence-based diagnosis, effective and efficient delivery of care Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Lilly-West, R.

Title A name given to the resource EPIDEMIOLOGY OF NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASE Description An account of the resource Communicable diseases continue to pose significant public health challenges globally, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where access to quality healthcare, sanitation, and health education remains limited. The transmission and resurgence of infectious agents viral, bacterial, parasitic, or fungal are further complicated by factors such as increased human mobility, rapid urbanization, climate change, and the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance. This textbook, Communicable Diseases, aims to equip students, healthcare professionals, and public health practitioners with a comprehensive understanding of the epidemiology, transmission, prevention, and control of communicable diseases. It offers a robust foundation in core epidemiological concepts, examines patterns of disease transmission, and underscores the critical roles of surveillance systems, policy interventions, and community engagement in managing outbreaks and endemic diseases. Organized into five thematic parts, the book covers: foundational principles of communicable disease epidemiology; in-depth analyses of major infectious diseases; prevention and control strategies; policy frameworks and ethical considerations; and current case studies with projections for future challenges. Each chapter integrates theoretical frameworks with applied public health practices, supported by up-to-date data, illustrative examples, and case studies from diverse settings. This volume responds to an urgent need for public health resources that are both locally relevant and globally informed. It is especially suited for undergraduate and postgraduate students in public health, community medicine, nursing, and related fields, as well as practitioners operating in diverse clinical and community environments. It is our hope that this textbook will not only enhance academic and professional knowledge but also inspire evidence-based action in the collective effort to mitigate the burden of communicable diseases and strengthen global health systems Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Margaret Inemesit Akpan and Inemesit Asuquo Akpan Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Published by: University of Calabar Press Calabar – Nigeria.

Title A name given to the resource The Rhetoric of Power: Obamanics Description An account of the resource Rhetoric (Greek word for speaker) was conceived in ancient times (around 500BC) to inform, persuade, entertain and motivate audiences. Like all art, rhetoric was, in those ancient times, mainly performed by those with a gift for public speaking who used the art to persuade and sway audiences to the side of rulers. Indeed, rhetoric and its audience-effect on world or African politics and public speaking tended to be unobtrusive because it didn‘t seem to matter much to many a people how public or political speeches were delivered. What appeared germane to them was whether a speech was either delivered or not. But all that changed when the audacious Barack Hussein Obama II (son of a recent immigrant from Kenya to the United States of America) emerged as a presidential hopeful for the Democratic Party in the build-up to the 2008 presidential election in the United States of America. Barack Obama told his story with exceptional skill, weaving it around the achievements of such emblematic Black personalities as Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcom X (in Americas recent history) and the venerated Nelson Mandela of South Africa. His ability to dig deep into his rhetorical reserve to sway even the most apathetic of American voters to his advantage clearly underpinned his extraordinary personality which was as captivating as it was magical. That was the Obama-effect!

Title A name given to the resource English for Pre-Degree Students 1: A Workbook Description An account of the resource The spoken and written communication in English of many a university student sadly reveals a less than satisfactory understanding of the use of language, particularly for academic purposes. The structural, lexical and phonological difficulties faced by the student all clearly point to an insufficient grasp and command of the most essential elements- parts of speech, phrases, clauses and other components of the sentence- and of course the basic aspects of the sound system. Such poor performance in the language has, undoubtedly, a direct correlation with the general performance in the student‘s course area. In other words, a good command of English at both spoken and written levels plays a key part in the overall performance of the student. It is against this background that Pre-Degree English is welcome as a foundational text aimed at equipping the university freshman for the task of academic expression and general purposes in the language. In its expansive breadth on the fundamentals of grammar and detailed explanation and examples, the text is designed to help the student overcome the challenges of understanding key ingredients for effective use of English. In this direction, phrases, their types and functions as used in context are thoroughly discussed as well as idiomatic usages which make language flowery and beautiful Subject The topic of the resource English for Pre-Degree Students 1: A Workbook Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Juliet N.
