In this highly practical guide, acclaimed physical therapist and
international lecturer Daniel Lawrence dispels some of the myths
around cupping therapy and shows how it deserves to be viewed as a
highly credible and versatile therapeutic tool in modern practice
Cupping-an ancient therapy which uses vacuum cups placed over the
skin to treat a wide range of health conditions-appears in one of
the earliest medical textbooks ever written and has been used in
cultures around the world for thousands of years. Though much
maligned by its perception as a "complementary therapy," the
emergence of modern research supporting the use of cupping to treat
musculoskeletal conditions has seen it enjoy a huge resurgence in
recent years. You only need look at the unmistakable cupping marks
visible on Olympic swimmers to see how valued it is within
professional sport. An ancient treatment, a new way Presented with
clear descriptions, color photographs, and QR codes linking to
online video tutorials, Lawrence's approach to dry cupping offers
enhanced treatment outcomes and methods that are more readily
accepted by Western medicine and modern manual therapy bodyworkers.
These are techniques that deliver maximum benefit whilst minimizing
some of the less desirable after-effects of more traditional
methods. Starting with the history of cupping, the book guides you
through the principles of application with illustrated protocols
for musculoskeletal conditions of the foot, ankle, lower leg, knee,
thigh, hip, back, shoulder, wrist, hand, elbow, and neck. Whether
you are looking to treat Achilles tendinitis, carpal tunnel
syndrome, or low back pain, Lawrence illustrates why cupping is a
safe and effective choice of treatment. Where this book differs
from others, however, is that it introduces the concept of using
passive and active movement in a treatment. In this way, cupping
can be viewed as an enhanced form of both massage and exercise
rehabilitation. Couple this with a valuable understanding of how
these techniques influence the nervous system and cupping now
stands up to "evidence-based" scrutiny. This is modern cupping!

A topical presentation of firsthand accounts from some of the
thousands of army and navy nurses who served both stateside and
overseas during World War II, this book tells the stories of the
brave women who used any and all resources to save as many lives as
possible. Although military nurses could have made more money as
civilians, thousands chose to leave the warmth and security of home
to care for the young men who went off to war. They were not saints
but vibrant women whose performance changed the face of both
military and civilian nursing. Jackson's account follows both army
and navy nurses from the time they joined the military, through
their active service, to their lives today.
The jobs done by military nurses were valuable and varied. Some
worked in clean stateside hospitals. Some found themselves nursing
in tents or bombed-out buildings. Others entered hospitals so
recently occupied by Axis forces that Nazi propaganda still covered
the walls. While often treating ordinary accidents and illnesses,
they were responsible for men with wounds so disfiguring that it
took all of their willpower to maintain the hopeful attitude that
the men so desperately required. From the humorous account of a
nurse in her forties, who joined the war effort despite the smirks
of those much younger, to the sorrow shared when men and women were
separated and became prisoners of war, these are the stories of
women who lived under extraordinary circumstances in an amazing
time, women who, even today, bear emotional scars along with their
lasting pride.
Worried about getting the dose wrong?Don't know your fractions from
your decimals?You're not alone! Many people are not comfortable
with their mathematical abilities but for most it's not a life or
death situation. For nurses, however, a 'bad maths day' can have
catastrophic consequences if drug dosages are calculated
incorrectly.Practical Nursing Calculations provides easy to
understand explanations of key calculations. The many exercises
offer opportunities to practise basic problem-solving to help build
your confidence. The use of real-life situations demonstrates how
maths is actually applied when working with patients. Realistic
scenarios introduce common presenting illnesses and the medications
used to treat them, and enables you to calculate their correct
dosages.This book has been developed to assist you to gain
competency in basic mathematical skills and problem-solving
techniques which require applied or conceptual mathematics.
Practical Nursing Calculations has emerged from actual classroom
curriculum and ten years of teaching in a major nursing school.Easy
to use, Practical Nursing Calculations provides you with a thorough
grounding in the fundamentals of mathematics and a sense of how to
apply your knowledge in your professional lives. A sound teaching
and learning resource, this book is appropriate for self-directed
learning or as a classroom guide.This text is accompanied by a

Organized by cognitive processes, Cognition and Acquired Language
Disorders: An Information Processing Approach focuses on the
assessment, diagnosis, and management of cognitive-communication
disorders. Current, evidence-based information describes normal
cognitive processing for communication and the way in which
cognition breaks down to produce communication disorders in a
variety of acquired neurologic conditions. Its process-oriented
approach includes not only the neurological conditions caused by
stroke, dementia, and traumatic brain injury, but those related to
tumor, infection, degenerative diseases, and multiple strokes.
While other speech-language pathology texts limit their coverage of
disorders to aphasia, expert authors Richard Peach and Lewis
Shapiro go beyond that with detailed discussions of many other
cognitive-communication disorders. Unique process-oriented approach
organizes content by cognitive processes instead of by syndromes so
you can apply the information and treatment approaches to any one
of many neurologic groups with the same cognitive deficit.
Cognitive domains are described as they relate to communication
rather than separated as they are in many other publications where
they are treated as independent behaviors. A separate section on
normal processing includes five chapters providing a strong
foundation for understanding the factors that contribute to
disordered communication and its management. The evidence-based
approach promotes best practices for the most effective management
of patients with cognitive-communication disorders. Coverage of the
cognitive aspects of communication helps you meet the standards for
certification in speech-language pathology. A strong author team
includes two lead authors who are well known and highly respected
in the academic community, along with expert contributors, ensuring
a comprehensive, advanced clinical text/reference.
The definitive framework for ethical analysis and decision-making
for RNs across all practice levels, roles and settings. Revisions
were made in this new edition in response to the complexities of
modern nursing, to simplify and more clearly articulate the
content, to anticipate advances in health care, and to incorporate
aids that would make it richer, more accessible, and easier to use.
Consisting of nine provisions and the accompanying interpretive
statements, it: Provides a succinct statement of the ethical
values, obligations, and duties of every individual who enters the
nursing profession. Serves as the profession's nonnegotiable
ethical standard. Expresses nursing's own understanding of its
commitment to society. The code is particularly useful to in
today's health care environment because it reiterates the
fundamental values and commitments of the nurse (Provisions 1-3),
identifies the boundaries of duty and loyalty (Provisions 4-6), and
describes the duties of the nurse that extend beyond individual
patient encounters (Provisions 7-9). This revision retains
interpretive statements for each provision that provide more
specific guidance for practice. The statements are responsive to
the contemporary context of nursing and recognize the larger scope
of nursing's concern in relation to health. It also includes
another innovation: links to foundational and supplemental
documents, which will be available later in 2015. ANA's Code of
Ethics for Nurses is the promise that nurses are doing their best
to provide care for their patients and their communities and are
supporting each other in the process so that all nurses can fulfill
their ethical and professional obligations. It is important tool
that can be used now as leverage to a better future for nurses,
patients and health care. This Code is a reflection of the proud
ethical heritage of nursing, a guide for all nurses now and into
the future.
