Mag lives in a rustic cabin in the Canadian wilds, far from neighbours and further from her past. It's an unremarkable life, save for the enormous bear carcass on the kitchen table. But when her estranged daughter Beth turns up on the doorstep having been freshly released from prison, the past becomes terrifyingly present - and the bear isn't the only thing with a dangerous bite.

Mice are used as model organisms across a wide range of fields in science today--but it is far from obvious how studying a mouse in a maze can help us understand human problems like alcoholism or anxiety. How do scientists convince funders, fellow scientists, the general public, and even themselves that animal experiments are a good way of producing knowledge about the genetics of human behavior? In Model Behavior, Nicole C. Nelson takes us inside an animal behavior genetics laboratory to examine how scientists create and manage the foundational knowledge of their field. Behavior genetics is a particularly challenging field for making a clear-cut case that mouse experiments work, because researchers believe that both the phenomena they are studying and the animal models they are using are complex. These assumptions of complexity change the nature of what laboratory work produces. Whereas historical and ethnographic studies traditionally portray the laboratory as a place where scientists control, simplify, and stabilize nature in the service of producing durable facts, the laboratory that emerges from Nelson's extensive interviews and fieldwork is a place where stable findings are always just out of reach. The ongoing work of managing precarious experimental systems means that researchers learn as much--if not more--about the impact of the environment on behavior as they do about genetics. Model Behavior offers a compelling portrait of life in a twenty-first-century laboratory, where partial, provisional answers to complex scientific questions are increasingly the norm.

Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death among adults, yet it need not be fatal. Though survival in most communities is very poor, a few communities achieve rates as high as 50%. Why are some communities so successful in snatching life from the jaws of death? Resuscitate! describes the steps any EMS system can take to improve cardiac arrest survival. It is written for the medical directors, administrative directors, fire chiefs, dispatch directors, and program supervisor who direct and run EMS systems all across the country, and for the EMTs, paramedics, and dispatchers who provide frontline care. This second edition of Resuscitate! provides fifteen concrete steps to improve survival. Four steps will lead to rapid improvements at the local level and are relatively easy to implement. Six additional steps are more difficult to implement but also likely to improve survival. The remaining steps recommend changes at the national level. Resuscitate! is the official textbook for the Resuscitation Academy, held twice a year in Seattle. Cosponsored by Seattle Medic One, King County EMS, and the Medic One Foundation, the Academy draws attendees from throughout the world for two intensive days of classes, demonstrations, and workshops to acquire the knowledge and tools to improve survival in their own communities. This new edition includes lessons learned from attendees of the Academy as well as from the faculty's evolving thoughts on how to measure performance and improve survival, one community at a time. It also includes an addendum on the Resuscitation Academy (resuscitationacademy.org). For more than thirty years, Mickey S. Eisenberg M.D., Ph.D. , has played a leading role in developing King County, Washington's emergency response to cases of sudden cardiac arrest, a system recognized as among the very best in the nation. He is a professor of medicine at the University of Washington and serves as the medical director of King County Emergency Medical Services.

Das kindliche Elektroenzephalogramm unterscheidet sich in wesentlichen Punkten vom EEG des Erwachsenen. In jeder Altersgruppe finden sich parallel zur Hirnentwicklung spezifische EEG-Muster, Normvarianten und pathologischen Veranderungen, deren Kenntnis fur die Beurteilung essentiell ist. So gibt es eine Vielzahl altersabhangiger Epilepsieformen und anderer Krankheitsbilder, die im Erwachsenenalter unbekannt sind. Eine besondere Herausforderung stellt die Beurteilung des Neu- und Fruhgeborenen-EEGs dar.

Dieser Leitfaden klart daruber auf, was bei EEG-Ableitungen im Sauglings- und Kleinkindesalter zu berucksichtigen ist und hilft dabei, EEG-Kurven richtig zu interpretieren und pathologische von normalen Mustern abzugrenzen.

Das Buch ist ein unveranderter Nachdruck des gleichnamigen Kapitels aus dem Werk "Klinische Elektroenzephalographie" von Stephan Zschocke und Hans-Christian Hansen. Nutzlich ist es insbesondere fur Kinder- und Jugendarzten und Neurologen, die mit den Grundlagen der Elektroenzephalographie vertraut sind. Einsteigern zum Thema zeigt dieses Buch auf, wo und wann das EEG im Kindesalter einen Beitrag zur Diagnose leisten kann."
