'must read' for pain practitioners.
This book is a comprehensive, focused resource on intraoperative
neurophysiological monitoring (IOM). This rapidly evolving field
has created a demand for an up-to-date book such as this that
builds on foundational concepts necessary to the practice of IOM in
the context of anatomy and physiology. Each chapter is designed to
not only inform the reader, but to also test the reader on the
information presented - therefore promoting practical,
problem-based learning. Surpassing the quality of its successful
predecessor, Principles of Neurophysiological Assessment, Mapping,
and Monitoring, Second Edition, is positioned to suit the needs of
residents and fellows studying for the IOM certificate programs,
physicians and anesthesiologists practicing IOM, and
neurotechnologists both experienced and in training.
This book provides a comprehensive review of the challenges, risk
stratification, approaches and techniques needed to improve pain
control in ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). It addresses not only
the management of acute perioperative pain but also describes
modalities that could potentially reduce the risk of evolution of
acute pain into chronic pain, in addition to weaning protocols and
follow ups with primary surgical specialties and pain physicians as
needed. Organized into five sections, the book begins with the
foundations of managing ASCs, with specific attention paid to the
current opioid epidemic and U.S. policies relating to prescribing
opioids to patients. Section two and three then explore facets of
multimodal analgesia and non-operating room locations, including
the use of ultrasounds, sedation in specific procedures, regional
anesthesia, ketamine infusions, and the management of perioperative
nausea and intractable pain in outpatient surgery. Section four
examines the unique challenges physicians face with certain patient
demographics, such as the pediatric population, those suffering
from sleep apnea, and those with a history of substance abuse. The
book closes with information on discharge considerations,
ambulatory surgery protocols, recovery room protocols, and
mandatory pain management services. An invaluable reference for all
health personnel and allied specialties, Pain Control in Ambulatory
Surgery Centers (ASCs) meets the unmet need for a resource that
covers optimum pain control in patients undergoing outpatient
surgery as well as the urgent ASCs challenges that are presented on
an immense scale with national and international impact.
Scholars from across law and internet and media studies examine the
human rights implications of today's platform society. Today such
companies as Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Twitter play
an increasingly important role in how users form and express
opinions, encounter information, debate, disagree, mobilize, and
maintain their privacy. What are the human rights implications of
an online domain managed by privately owned platforms? According to
the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, adopted by the
UN Human Right Council in 2011, businesses have a responsibility to
respect human rights and to carry out human rights due diligence.
But this goal is dependent on the willingness of states to encode
such norms into business regulations and of companies to comply. In
this volume, contributors from across law and internet and media
studies examine the state of human rights in today's platform
society. The contributors consider the "datafication" of society,
including the economic model of data extraction and the
conceptualization of privacy. They examine online advertising,
content moderation, corporate storytelling around human rights, and
other platform practices. Finally, they discuss the relationship
between human rights law and private actors, addressing such issues
as private companies' human rights responsibilities and content
regulation. Contributors Anja Bechmann, Fernando Bermejo, Agnes

Prove It With Figures displays some of the tools of the social and
statistical sciences that have been applied in the courtroom and to
the study of questions of legal importance. It explains how
researchers can extract the most valuable and reliable data that
can conveniently be made available, and how these efforts sometimes
go awry. In the tradition of Zeisel's standard work "Say It with
Figures," the authors clarify, in non-technical language, some of
the basic problems common to all efforts to discern
cause-and-effect relationships. Designed as a textbook for law
students who seek an appreciation of the power and limits of
empirical methods, this is also a useful reference for lawyers,
policymakers, and members of the public who would like to improve
their critical understanding of the statistics presented to them.
The many case histories include analyses of the death penalty, jury
selection, employment discrimination, mass torts, and DNA
profiling.
First Practical Guide to Integrating Risk Management, Business
Continuity Management and Corporate Governance From Two
World-Renowned BCM Pioneers Who Have Served on the British
Standards Institution (BSI) Team Creating a British and
International Standard for Risk Management. The U.S. Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) is currently developing disaster
preparedness standards for businesses. DHS is incorporating
language from the British Standards Institution (BSI) because it
"provides a management systems approach to business continuity and
integrates risk management disciplines and processes." The two
authors of this now classic text in the field have been directly
involved in developing those BSI standards. Here they bring you a
distillation of their worldwide experience in pioneering the
integration of the disciplines of risk management and business
continuity. This practical guide is endorsed by: * * * The Business
Continuity Institute * * * The Institute for Risk Management * * *
Disaster Recovery Institute International It includes numerous
helpful features: * * * Chapter objectives, summaries and
bibliographies; charts, sample forms, checklists throughout * * *
Plentiful case studies, in boxed text, drawn from enterprises
around the globe, including the UK, US, Europe, Australia, Asia,
etc. * * * Boxed inserts summarizing key concepts * * * Glossy of
150 risk management and business continuity terms * * * Timely
topics, including stakeholder management, supplier management,
outsourcing, the people factor, technology recovery, and
communication, both internally and externally. * * * Wide range of
challenges, including supply chain disruptions, media and brand
attack, product contamination and product recall, bomb threats,
chemical and biological threats, etc. * * * Instructions for
designing/executing team exercises with role playing to rehearse
scenarios * * * Guidance on how to develop a business continuity
plan, including a Business Impact Analysis * * * Ideal for senior
undergraduate, MBA, certificate, corporate training programs; in
use at 50+ campuses worldwide * * * Instructor Materials on CD,
including PowerPoint slides and syllabus for 12-week course with
lecture outlines/notes, quizzes, reading assignments, discussion
topics, projects * * * Authors with extensive international
experience in all aspects of risk management and business
continuity, having worked with organizations in a combined total of
50 countries The authors' message is that risk management has
become a strategic tool in managing all risk across an
organization, and that BCM forms one more important tool in a much
wider and coordinated risk management program. They are now
complementary disciplines that must be understood and supported by
your organization as a whole, including CEO's, directors, non-
executive directors, risk managers, continuity managers, internal
and external auditors, investment managers, compliance managers,
finance directors, human resource managers, project managers,
regulators, corporate trainers and other stakeholders. After
discussing the relationship between risk management and BCM, the
authors take the reader through the business continuity management
cycle: how to understand the organization and its culture;
continuity strategies; how to develop and implement a business
continuity response, including developing a Business Impact
Analysis; building and embedding a business continuity culture;
testing/exercising a plan, along with benchmarking, maintenance and
audit. "This book is a must read for those senior managers, risk
managers and continuity managers who have the vision to see both
the new opportunities and the new responsibilities of business
continuity management." - George J. Mitchell, Chairman, DLA Piper
Rudnick Gray Cary; Former Senate Majority Leader and U.S. Senator
for Maine.
