How to know health? The Chest Hospital releases the first popular science book in Shanghai. More than half of the world’s new esophageal cancer patients are in my country.
Food is the most important thing for people. The esophagus is an important part of the human digestive tract. Only with a healthy esophagus can people enjoy delicious food. However, in my country, the incidence and mortality of esophageal cancer ranks among the top malignant tumors, and more than 50% of new esophageal cancer patients in the world are in China. At the same time, there are few popular science books about esophageal cancer, and people often “do not know about the disease and it is difficult to cure it”. To this end, Liu Xiaoxin, director of the Nursing Department of Shanghai Chest Hospital, led a team to compile "Esophageal Code·Surgical Care" using original comics as a carrier. It is reported that this book is the first book in Shanghai that uses original cartoon images to popularize science in the field of esophageal disease care, and has been approved by the Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission for a special science popularization project. The honorary editor of this book is Professor Fan Xianqun, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and dean of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, and the chief reviewer is Professor Hou Xumin, dean of Shanghai Chest Hospital. On October 25, the Chest Hospital held a book release and signing ceremony for the book.
This book focuses on the surgical care of esophageal diseases. It is divided into four chapters: preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative and auxiliary treatment. It collects 50 common questions raised by patients and their families in clinical practice. It mainly uses colorful comics and uses dialogue between doctors, nurses and patients. , in the form of pictures and texts, combined with clinical practice, and simple explanations, the obscure medical knowledge is expressed in a humorous and vivid form, which is convenient for readers to understand and master, and interprets the code of esophageal health for the public.
Liu Xiaoxin introduced that this book condenses the wisdom and hard work of dozens of experts in the medical field. It is led by the nursing team and based on popular science data. Each knowledge point not only takes into account the need for popular science about esophageal diseases, but also pays attention to the research in this field. Latest research progress. “I hope that with the dissemination and promotion of this book, it will help the public quickly understand esophageal diseases, establish scientific prevention and treatment concepts, and learn correct health care knowledge, so as to recover faster and better. It will also help to enhance communication between nurses and patients. , to build a more harmonious doctor-patient relationship.”
Hou Xumin, director of the Chest Hospital, said that as a public hospital, the hospital will continue to adhere to the direction of public welfare, shoulder the important task of popularizing science, and bring more scientifically authoritative, popular and vivid science popularization creations to the general public in the future. According to reports, in the next step, the Nursing Department of the Chest Hospital will continue to rely on the expertise of its specialties to carry out original science popularization creations that are scientific, interesting and timely, so as to further benefit the people through health science popularization.
