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 Cancer of the Breast: Tips for prevention Description An account of the resource Breast cancer is currently the most common type of cancer worldwide, with 2.26 million cases recorded in 2020 (WHO, 2021). It is also the most common cancer among women both in developed and developing countries, and a major cause for public health concern (WHO, 2021). While it exists around the globe, developed countries have a higher incidence rate and the incidence rate also varies by ethnicity and race (DeSantis et al., 2013). Breast cancer was also the 5th leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide in 2020, with 685,000 deaths attributed to it (WHO, 2021). In Nigeria, the incidence of breast cancer, once relatively low, has shown a marked increase, primarily driven by the effects of urbanization and evolving lifestyle patterns. At present, breast cancer stands as the foremost cause of cancer-related mortality in the country, accounting for approximately 23% of all cancer cases and contributing to about 18% of cancer deaths nationally.
