    Tratamiento microquirúrgico
    • 1st Edition
    • José Manuel González Darder + 2 more
    • Spanish
    Obra que ofrece una visión microquirúrgica de los aneurismas cerebrales mediante la aplicación de técnicas endovasculares. A lo largo de 30 capítulos, los autores presentan los aspectos más relevantes sobre la fisiopatología, el diagnósticos y el manejo clínico y quirúrgico de los aneurismas cerebrales. Destaca lo originalidad del material gráfico incluido. Todas las fotografías han sido realizadas por los autores de manera exclusiva para este libro. Un total de 12 vídeos intraoperatorios muestran paso a paso la realización de las técnicas empleadas para esta condición. El contenido responde a la filosofía del grupo de autores participantes: realización de una cirugía anatómica basada en la máxima resección posible que permita la conservación de la anatomía "normal" como máxima garantía para preservar las funciones neurológicas.

  • Fisiopatología de la COVID-19 en diferentes órganos y sistemas

    • 1st Edition
    • Esther Barreiro Portela
    • Spanish
    Esta obra muestra en un solo volumen, de forma práctica y sencilla, cómo la infección por el SARS-CoV-2 afecta a numerosos órganos y sistemas, pudiendo dar lugar a una enfermedad grave, en muchos casos de naturaleza sistémica. La obra está estructurada en trece capítulos. Inicialmente se describen los mecanismos infectivos del virus y la respuesta inmune a la infección por el SARS-CoV-2. Aborda la fisiopatología del virus en los sistemas respiratorio, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, real, nervioso, cutáneo y muscular. Posteriormente se detallan los mecanismos fisiopatológicos mediante los cuales se desarrolla el daño en el órgano diana, también en el paciente crítico. Los últimos capítulos abordan el seguimiento y la rehabilitación de los pacientes que han superado la enfermedad. Especialmente dirigida a los distintos profesionales sanitarios (médicos, enfermeras y fisioterapeutas, entre otros), también será un recurso de enorme interés para estudiantes de grados y posgrados sanitarios y de Ciencias de la Salud, así como para científicos que trabajen en ámbitos relacionados.

  • Agriculture's Ethical Horizon

    • 3rd Edition
    • Robert L Zimdahl
    • English
    Agriculture’s Ethical Horizon: Third Edition covers the changing environment in which practitioners of agriculture are challenged to produce food for the world. Fully revised and updated, the book encourages discussions on the moral questions that agriculture faces, including what goals should agricultural science pursue and how should practitioners address important ethical questions which are different and more complex than the dominating questions of production? The book presents the story of agriculture from the blood, sweat and tears era, to the present genetic era, including the paradox of agriculture. This book is ideal for agricultural students, practitioners and anyone who would like to understand the tremendous responsibility of agricultural production. It presents a foundation for the important discussions and decisions that will be necessary to support the future of agriculture.

  • Ecological Significance of River Ecosystems

    Challenges and Management Strategies
    • 1st Edition
    • Sughosh Madhav + 4 more
    • English
    Ecological Significance of Riparian Ecosystems: Challenges and Management Strategies examines the current issues related to river ecosystems, their environmental importance, pollution issues and potential management strategies. The book is divided into 4 key themes: Basics of river ecosystem, Natural phenomenon of river ecosystem, Human-induced problems of river ecosystem, and Management measures for the river ecosystem. Through these four themes, the contributors present both practical and theoretical aspects of river ecosystem in changing climate. An emphasis has been made on the recent research of climate change and its impact on the river ecosystem. River ecosystems have tremendous potential to store CO2, however, with changing climatic and anthropogenic activities, these habitats are under threat, and river ecosystems are losing the very vital service of storing carbon. Unlike well documented terrestrial biodiversity, the biodiversity in aquatic ecosystems is still unrecognized to some extent.
