  • Decisiones en urgencias pediátricas

    • 2nd Edition
    • Santos García García
    • Spanish
    Liderado por Santos García García, un extenso equipo de experimentados profesionales de las Urgencias Pediátricas, en su mayoría pediatras relacionados con el Hospital La Paz de Madrid, apoyados por un gran número de especialistas (cirujanos pediátricos, ORL, dermatólogos, cardiólogos, etc.) del mismo centro, han contribuido a diseñar y redactar los 275 capítulos. La diversidad de las situaciones y las especiales características de la población pediátrica hacen que la toma de decisiones en los Servicios de Urgencias Pediátricas sea un proceso en ocasiones complejo. Con un contenido eminentemente práctico centrado en los problemas, no en los diagnósticos, Decisiones en Urgencias Pediátricas, 2.ª edición, es el recurso ideal para orientar a los profesionales de las Urgencias Pediátricas en la toma de deci­siones terapéuticas rápidas para un amplio abanico de patologías, tanto en la práctica diaria como en situaciones especiales. Cada paso de los 275 algoritmos interconectados que se incluyen en la obra está relacionado con una nota expli­cativa que contiene la información más relevante sobre el tema abordado: indicaciones de las pruebas, observa­ción, ingreso, posibles diagnósticos, indicaciones de derivación a consulta con el especialista, y criterios y requisi­tos para el alta. Además, los algoritmos incluyen indicaciones precisas para la realización de determinadas pruebas o tratamientos específicos.

  • Bioceramics

    From Macro to Nanoscale
    • 1st Edition
    • Akiyoshi Osaka + 1 more
    • English
    Biologically functional ceramic materials have been known about for several decades, like phosphate cements and gypsum, and they are within the zeroth generation. Modern and artificially synthesized bioceramics include amorphous materials in the Bioglass® family that were developed in the early 1970’s and derivative glass ceramics such as Bioverit® and Cerabone A-W® that came in 1980’s. They are from the 2nd generation of materials, and mostly applicable to bone replacement or bone defect fillers. Since the late 1990’s, newer technologies have been introduced to the biologically functional material fields; they are the syntheses of organic-inorganic hybrids of micro- and macroscopic scales as well as nano-scales, organic fragment-covered ceramic particles of varied sizes, with light-controlling abilities to modify the frequency of light, in addition synthesis of high strength and high-tribological durability that had not been available before. With the advent of additive manufacturing technology employing lasers, electron beams, and printers, clinical materials of complicated porous structures are now easily prepared. These materials are of the 3rd generation. This book will cover almost all kinds of such 3rd generation ceramic and ceramic-related biomaterials. This book conveys the current state-of-the-art on the science and technology of bioceramics, from nano-size dots or particles to macro-scale architectures, of a wide range of constitutions including quantum dots with peptide fragments, meso-scale therapeutic particles designed to involve drugs or genes, mesoporous organic-inorganic hybrids, nano-structured oxide layers on metals and alloys.
