  • Descontaminación digestiva selectiva

    • 1st Edition
    • Hans Rommes
    • Spanish
    La descontaminación digestiva selectiva (DDS) es una estrategia profiláctica cuyo objetivo es reducir la incidencia de infecciones, principalmente la neumonía asociada a la ventilación mecánica, en los pacientes que requieren cuidados intensivos, previniendo o erradicando el estado de portador orofaríngeo y gastrointestinal de microorganismos potencialmente patógenos. Este libro explica los conceptos básicos de la DDS para ayudar a quienes se dedican a tratar a los pacientes críticos a mejorar los resultados y la calidad de la atención. Esta técnica reduce la morbilidad y la mortalidad, es rentable y segura, ya que no aumenta la resistencia a los antimicrobianos. La aplicación correcta de la estrategia permite a los equipos de las UCI controlar las infecciones, incluso en las UCI con microorganismos endémicos resistentes a los antibióticos. Es de interés para intensivistas, médicos de cuidados críticos, médicos en formación, microbiólogos y enfermeros de UCI, así como para especialistas en control de infecciones y farmacéuticos.

    • English
    New Paradigms in Environmental Biomonitoring Using Plants highlights and explores the importance of biomonitoring methodologies and the latest updates in the field. The book presents a holistic approach toward the different aspects of biomonitoring, focusing mainly upon the inclusion of newly emerging concepts of environmental genomics, metabarcoding, and cheminformatics and biomarkers, among other technologies; helping to explore and establish a new outlook for biomonitoring frameworks. This book compiles all aspects of biomonitoring including traditional and modern techniques, using a multidimensional approach without focusing on any specific pollutant. Most biomonitoring programs implemented until now have focused more on traditional methods. This book covers new approaches to biomonitoring that could improve on the currently limited capabilities of existing schemes. The book highlights the possible scope for enriching existing datasets and characterizing biodiversity in situ in a far more complete way than has been possible previously. New Paradigms in Environmental Biomonitoring Using Plants will be important for researchers, academics, postgraduates and undergraduate students in environmental, plant, crop and soil sciences, to provide up-to-date and emerging technologies in biomonitoring for environmental assessment, leading to a new vision of biomonitoring. It will also be helpful for risk assessment professionals and stakeholders involved in planning the future biomonitoring programs.
