In this book we have tried to collect the state of the art of nasal and paranasal sinus surgery, deepening the most modern techniques and addressing every single pathology with great dedication. In the first chapter, thanks to the help of Professor Enrique Perello, leader of ENT surgery in Spain and with an international reputation, we tried to trace the history of nasal surgery. We found photos of ancient treatises, analyzing the origins of some techniques, still used but perfected with the help of technology. In the following chapters, we have dealt with the basic surgery of the nose and paranasal sinuses, with evident help on the septal endoscopic part by Professor Andrea Gallo, director of the Polo Pontino of the La Sapienza University in Rome. The chapters on oroantral communications and odontogenic sinusitis were written by Professor Cosme Gay-Escoda, leader in the maxillofacial and oral cavity surgery sector throughout Spain. The chapter on inverted papillomas was written by the professor of the University of Genoa Frank Rikki Canevari, a surgeon of national and international fame, expert on the nasal cavities. We wrote a chapter on dacryocistorinostomy, with the help of Professor Maurizio Catalani, of the University of Turin and in collaboration with a team of ophthalmologists led by professors Meduri, Aragona and doctor Migliardi. We thank the whole ENT team of the University of Palermo, led by Professor Gallina, for the chapter on the complications of endonasal surgery. We received special help from the team of the Insubria University of Varese, led by professors Bignami and Castelnuovo, world leaders in this type of surgery. They wrote the chapters on rhino-liquor fistulas and on the treatment of nasal tumors, giving us the precious images of their most interesting clinical cases. Thanks to external contributions, this book can be considered a handbook for nose surgery, updated to the most modern surgical techniques in use and with an analysis of the possible future developments of this type of surgery.

Der Alltag in der Physio- und Ergotherapie ist voller Verhandlungen: Wer kann wann Urlaub nehmen im Team? Wie kann ein hoeheres Gehalt oder die Teilnahmen an einer wichtige Fortbildung ausgehandelt werden? Welche therapeutischen Massnahmen erwartet der Patient oder der Klient und was kann der Therapeut leisten? Wie koennen Praxisinhaber und Mitarbeiter eine win-win-Situation fur beide Verhandlungspartner erreichen? In therapeutischen Berufen gibt es viele Themen, die geschickt verhandelt werden mussen. Doch gerade Mitarbeitern im Gesundheitswesen fallt es oft schwer, ihre Positionen gut zu verhandeln, besonders wenn an ihr soziales Gewissen appelliert wird. Wie erfolgreich verhandelt werden kann, welche Strategien beachtet werden sollten und welchen Nutzen eine gute Verhandlungsfuhrung auch fur die kommunikativen Kompetenzen haben kann, zeigt die Autorin, Renate Tewes, anhand von zahlreichen Beispielen, Modellen und Techniken aus ihrer Erfahrung als Coach fur Fuhrungskrafte. .

Deafness: Current Perspectives and Research Developments presents the theoretical foundations for miscue analysis, its utilization with diverse and bilingual students, and prior research conducted with deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals. The authors focus on a significant challenge to improving the reading achievement of deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals: finding non-biased assessments and compiling test pools of sufficient size in order to identify meaningful patterns. The viability of vibrotactile stimulation as an alternative to complement and foster linguistic development in the profoundly deaf, particularly those with a prelingual age of onset, is examined. The challenges, opportunities, and goals of researchers and clinicians working in the field of deafness and autism spectrum disorder are explored, emphasizing the need for training more culturally and linguistically competent deaf and hearing adults to conduct research and intervention with deaf children. In an effort to improve validity, the authors re-design a previous cross-sectional study to measure resilience when deaf/hard of hearing or blind/low vision students entered high school as well as when they exited, usually four years later, and compare the two data points. The first known project conducted within the United States to evaluate the use of assistive technology for healthcare interactions between student pharmacists and simulated deaf/hard of hearing patients is also discussed.
