    Monografías SECOIR
    • 1st Edition
    • Ramón Ruiz Mesa + 1 more
    • Spanish
    Obra avalada por la Sociedad Española de Cirugía Ocular Implanto Refractica (SECOIR) y participan en ella numerosos profesionales tanto nacionales como internacionales considerados expertos en este tipo de cirugía ocular. Los editores de esta monografía han distribuido el contenido de la misma a lo largo de un total de 3 capítulos que recogen desde los aspectos más genéricos hasta los temas más complejos relacionados con este tipo de intervenciones. Recoge de manera exhaustiva todos aquellos aspectos vinculados con la óptica que ha de manejar un cirujano faco-refractivo para llevar a cabo con éxito este tipo de intervenciones. Los autores desarrollarán dos secciones centradas en técnicas quirúrgicas en las que se hará un repaso de los fundamentos ópticos en cirugía del cristalino y un repaso de los diferentes tratamientos corneales.

  • Current Therapy of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care

    • 2nd Edition
    • Donald D. Trunkey
    • Juan A. Asensio
    • English
    Demanding surgical situations require expert advice from pioneers in the field as well as from those on the front lines of trauma care. Practical and evidence-based, Current Therapy of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care, 2nd Edition, draws on the experience of Drs. Juan A. Asensio and Donald D. Trunkey to offer a comprehensive, contemporary summary of the treatment and post-operative management of traumatic injuries. The concise format makes it ideally suited for everyday use, and new, full-color illustrations highlight the most important aspects of urgent surgical care, including ventilator management, damage control, noninvasive techniques, imaging, infection control, dealing with mass casualties, and treating injuries induced by chemical and biological agents. "I would recommend it as worthwhile reading and a valuable reference for anyone involved in the care of the trauma patient." Foreword by: Jeffrey T. Sugimoto, Creighton University, June 2015

  • Sonochemistry and the Acoustic Bubble

    • 1st Edition
    • Franz Grieser + 5 more
    • English
    Sonochemistry and the Acoustic Bubble provides an introduction to the way ultrasound acts on bubbles in a liquid to cause bubbles to collapse violently, leading to localized 'hot spots' in the liquid with temperatures of 5000° celcius and under pressures of several hundred atmospheres. These extreme conditions produce events such as the emission of light, sonoluminescence, with a lifetime of less than a nanosecond, and free radicals that can initiate a host of varied chemical reactions (sonochemistry) in the liquid, all at room temperature. The physics and chemistry behind the phenomena are simply, but comprehensively presented. In addition, potential industrial and medical applications of acoustic cavitation and its chemical effects are described and reviewed. The book is suitable for graduate students working with ultrasound, and for potential chemists and chemical engineers wanting to understand the basics of how ultrasound acts in a liquid to cause chemical and physical effects.

  • Assessing the Energy Efficiency of Pumps and Pump Units

    Background and Methodology
    • 1st Edition
    • em. Dr.-Ing Bernd Stoffel
    • English
    Assessing the Energy Efficiency of Pumps and Pump Units, developed in cooperation with Europump, is the first book available providing the background, methodology, and assessment tools for understanding and calculating energy efficiency for pumps and extended products (pumps+motors+drives... Responding to new EU requirements for pump efficiency, and US DOE exploratory work in setting pump energy efficiency guidelines, this book provides explanation, derivation, and illustration of PA and EPA methods for assessing energy efficiency. It surveys legislation related to pump energy efficiencies, provides background on pump and motor efficiencies, and describes the concept of Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) for circulators and single and multi-pump systems.

  • The Healthy and Sick Newborn, An Issue of Pediatric Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 62-2
    • David A. Clark
    • English
    Community-based primary care physicians are routinely challenged as they stabilize, evaluate, and care for term and late-preterm neonates. Although there have been many spectacular advances in care of neonates, the challenges and successes of caring for the most preterm, very low birth-weight newborns seem to dominate presentations and the Pediatric literature. This issue concentrates on the current evidence and the collected experience of neonatologists regarding the basics of caring for the vast majority of newborns. The newest recommendations of multiple organizations (including the AAP) are presented, including the rationale for each recommendation as well as controversial issues. The individual articles will provide the primary care provider with a comprehensive foundation for care of the neonate.

  • Advances in Colonoscopy, An Issue of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 25-2
    • Douglas K. Rex
    • English
    Colonoscopy is the bread and butter for endoscopists and advances in the procedure to reduce time, improve efficiency, and prevent errors are very important for this group. The newest advances look at colonoscopy efficiency and a better way to target tissue sampling, which avoids random biopsies and instead looks at ways to predict areas for sampling. The Guest Editors have selected top experts to provide these important updates and they also address current thinking that questions the continued value of colonoscopies as predictors of colon cancer. The issue will be a very popular one, and it needs to be heavily promoted.
