Book Description
This book is a roadmap of the exact health disparities that burden the health of South Texas residents, especially Hispanics, compared to the rest of Texas and nation. This type of knowledge has the potential to fuel and motivate researchers and public health leaders to create and shape interventions to reverse those health disparities. Most notably, focus on obesity and diabetes prevention efforts and modifiable risk factors—such as nutrition, reproductive factors and access to health care—has significant potential to reduce the burden of disease in South Texas communities.South Texas, a 38-county region that spans 45,000 square miles along the Texas-Mexico border northward to the area around metropolitan Bexar County (home to San Antonio), is home to 18% of the state’s population. Yet South Texas residents, who are 68% Hispanic, struggle with lower educational levels, less income and less access to health care—and, as a result, suffer from a wide variety of health disparities. To study the health status and identify the exact health disparities that exist in the region, researchers from The UT Health Science Center at San Antonio teamed with researchers from the Texas Department of State Health Services to develop the South Texas Health Status Review.The Review team analyzed a variety of the latest county, state and national data to compare South Texas’ incidence, prevalence and mortality rates for more than 35 health indicators—from cancers to chronic diseases like diabetes to communicable diseases like HIV/AIDS to maternal health and even environmental health—to the rest of Texas and the nation by age, sex, race/ethnicity and rural/urban location.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Texas Medical News, 1906, Vol. 16: A Journal of Medicine, Surgery and Hygiene, Devoted to the Interests of the Medical Profession of Texas and the Southwest The patient, if he passes safely through the strain of the first thirty-six or forty-eight hours, manifests the destructive influence of the venom upon the protoplasm of the blood corpuscles and tis sues, by more or less violent mental symptoms or exhaustion and coma. In many cases, however, where the patient is otherwise strong, he slowly recovers. Individuals weakened by disease, overwork, or insufficient food, which is generally the case with the poor Mexicans, are those in which the prognosis is unfavorable. The poison acts most readily upon warm-blooded animals, especially if injected into a vein, when death is often practically instantaneous, and the season of the year, more toxic, the hotter and the condition and the health of the snake, more so in the hungry. Rattlesnakes, like all snakes of the viperoid family, are born into the world. The mother will give birth, from the middle of July to the middle of August, to from six to twelve baby rattlers, about fourteen inches long, and no thicker than a lead pencil. The baby is self-reliant from birth and is provided with poison and fangs and is capable of self-existence without any assistance from its mother. Dangerous little fellows they are, marked like the adult snakes and provided with a single button at the end of the tail the first link in the series of rattles to be developed ring by ring with each shedding of the skin. All snakes are carnivorous, and, as a rule, take living prey only, a few feed habitually or occasionally on eggs. Many swallow their victims live, others first kill it by smothering it between the coils of their body. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
