Second Edition was a winner of the AJN Award! ""Unique to this
book, and what sets it apart from other books on simulations and
clinical scenarios, are the personal experiences...that the authors
bring to the chapters. The authors' passion, enthusiasm, and
inspiration are truly reflected and demonstrated in each chapter.
Authors talk about lessons learned, teaching strategies, and
in-depth research... Key highlights in the book include the
practice application of how to develop, implement, and evaluate
clinical simulations in your nursing program. The authors make
understanding simulation pedagogy an easy journey and one that is
exciting that educators will want to try and embrace even when
there is hesitation and uncertainty."" - Pamela R. Jeffries, PhD,
RN, FAAN, ANEF; Professor, Dean; George Washington University
School of Nursing; From the Foreword When employed as a substitute
for real clinical time, simulation scenarios have proven effective
in bridging the gap between theory and practice. Written by
educators for educators, this book provides all the knowledge,
skills, and tools needed to make simulation feasible, enjoyable,
and meaningful for students. In this edition, there are 25 new
chapters, 20 of them scenarios for all levels and specialties, and
11 of those representing interprofessional education and team
training. This acclaimed text for nursing faculty provides
detailed, step-by-step guidance on all aspects of clinical
simulation. Each scenario is broken down into objectives,
pre-scenario checklists, implementation plans, evaluation criteria,
debriefing guidelines, and recommendations for further use. Replete
with diverse scenarios, this comprehensive resource covers
geriatric, pediatric, trauma, obstetric, and community-based
patient scenarios. Chapters cover all levels of nursing students
from pre-licensure to doctoral level, and contain the authors' own
advice and experiences working in simulation around the globe. All
scenarios have been updated to adhere to the new best practice
simulation standards for design, facilitator and participant
criteria, interprofessional criteria, and debriefing processes. A
template for creating scenarios spans the text and includes student
preparation materials, forms to enhance the realness of the
scenario, and checklists for practice assessment and evaluation.
The revised edition now includes scenarios easily adaptable to an
instructor's own lab, an international perspective, and a section
on graduate nursing education and eleven new interdisciplinary
clinical scenarios. New to the third edition: 20 brand-new
scenarios in anesthesia, midwifery, pediatric, disaster, and other
specialty focused situations, plus five new chapters Updated to
encompass new simulation pedagogy including best practice standards

Tumors often start out as a benign growth, but gradually progress
toward the malignant stage over a relatively long period of time.
Tumor progression results from accumulated genetic mutations and
inheritable epigenetic modifications that enable clonal evolution
and selection of new clonal populations of tumor cells with
aggressive characteristics including metastasis and therapy
resistance. Increasing amounts of experimental evidence suggests
that tumor microenvironment play a significant role in directing
clonal evolution and determining clonal cell fate, which eventually
leads to emergence of malignant tumor cell clones. Hypoxia is the
most commonly observed feature of tumor microenvironment. Tumor
hypoxia is significantly associated with malignant progression and
predicts poor patient outcomes. This book provides detailed and
up-to-date treaties on the role of hypoxia as a major driving force
in tumor microenvironment to elicit cellular adaptation and clonal
selection via genetic mutations and epigenetic modifications, to
facilitate cancer stem cell maintenance, to enhance metastasis, to
augment therapy resistance, and to evade immune surveillance.
Since the publication of the first edition of the Handbook in 2002,
optical methods for biomedical diagnostics have developed in many
well-established directions, and new trends have also appeared. To
encompass all current methods, the text has been updated and
expanded into two volumes. Volume 1: Light - Tissue Interaction
features eleven chapters, five of which focus on the fundamental
physics of light propagation in turbid media such as biological
tissues. The six following chapters introduce near-infrared
techniques for the optical study of tissues and provide a snapshot
of current applications and developments in this dynamic and
exciting field. Topics include the scattering of light in disperse
systems, the optics of blood, tissue phantoms, a comparison between
time-resolved and continuous-wave methods, and optoacoustics.
Volume 2: Methods begins by describing the basic principles and
diagnostic applications of optical techniques based on detecting
and processing the scattering, fluorescence, FT IR, and Raman
spectroscopic signals from various tissues, with an emphasis on
blood, epithelial tissues, and human skin. The second half of the
volume discusses specific imaging technologies, such as Doppler,
laser speckle, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and fluorescence
and photoacoustic imaging.
Chronic liver disease is one of the most prevalent diseases in the
developed world. The large amount of new knowledge has resulted in
subspecialities, even in issues such as hepatology. Thus every day,
it is more difficult to access all relevant information that is
being published. Additionally, biomolecular techniques lead to a
level of complexity that is only beneficial when dealt with by
professionals. This book attempts to give a broad overview of the
molecular biology of the liver, emphasizing how this knowledge is
the basis of further treatment. Thus, pathophysiology and therapies
are updated in viral hepatitis, hepatic encephalopathy and portal
hypertension, among others. However, appended issues that
apparently are less relevant such as the stem cell and
endocannabinoids are included. These two issues will soon be of
importance due to their close relationship with the liver tissue
and especially with liver disease. There are also new paradigms
such as cell death and the implication of the extracellular matrix,
which are also addressed. In addition, important issues such as the
stellate cells and their intimate relationship with fibrogenesis
are treated in-depth. Also the fundamental role of endothelin in
chronic liver disease is examined. Because of its prevalence, NASH
was discussed with special interest, with a focus on the process
from fatty liver to molecular biology of liver cells and metabolism
in chronic liver disease. The authors believe that this is a broad
vision that describes the basic pathophysiological mechanisms
shared by many liver diseases, giving rational support for specific
therapies.

From the potent properties of X rays evoked in Thomas Mann's Magic
Mountain to the miniaturized surgical team of the classic science
fiction film Fantastic Voyage, the possibility of peering into the
inner reaches of the body has engaged the twentieth-century popular
and scientific imagination. Drawing on examples that are
international in scope, The Transparent Body examines the
dissemination of medical images to a popular audience, advancing
the argument that medical imaging technologies are the material
embodiment of collective desires and fantasies--the most pervasive
of which is the ideal of transparency itself. The Transparent Body
traces the cultural context and wider social impact of such medical
imaging practices as X ray and endoscopy, ultrasound imaging of
fetuses, the filming and broadcasting of surgical operations, the
creation of plastinated corpses for display as art objects, and the
use of digitized cadavers in anatomical study. In the early
twenty-first century, the interior of the body has become a
pervasive cultural presence - as accessible to the public eye as to
the physician's gaze. Jose van Dijck explores the multifaceted
interactions between medical images and cultural ideologies that
have brought about this situation. The Transparent Body unfolds the
complexities involved in medical images and their making,
illuminating their uses and meanings both within and outside of
medicine. Van Dijck demonstrates the ways in which the ability to
render the inner regions of the human body visible - and the
proliferation of images of the body's interior in popular media -
affect our view of corporeality and our understanding of health and
disease. Written in an engaging style that brings thought-provoking
cultural intersections vividly to life, The Transparent Body will
be of special interest to those in media studies, cultural studies,
science and technology studies, medical humanities, and the history
of medicine.
The Intelligent Clinician's Guide to the DSM-5 (R) is the second
edition of the widely-read book first published in 2013. This
second edition is thoroughly revised, and has several new chapters
describing the response to the publication of the new manual, as
well as suggestions on its use in clinical practice. The
Intelligent Clinician's Guide to the DSM-5 (R), Second Edition
reviews the history of diagnosis in psychiatry, emphasizing the
limitations for classification of our current lack of knowledge of
the causes of most mental disorders. It emphasizes that, in the
absence of biomarkers, current categories can only be considered
provisional. It takes a critical look at schema for spectra and
dimensionaliztion of diagnosis, examines the borders between
normality and psychopathology, and discusses the problem of
clinical utility. The book has chapters on all the major diagnoses
in psychiatry, in which the main problems of diagnosis are
addressed, and in which all changes in DSM-5 are described.
