The aim of this work was not an exhaustive review of all pediatric
echo graphic problems but a presentation of our daily experience
with ultrasonography in pediatric practice. Several teams of
pediatric radiologists from France and Belgium have combined their
experiences to produce a practical book. The different authors have
been chosen for their specific experience and their special area of
work. The different chapters express therefore personal opinions.
Unresolved questions are posed and ultrasonographic examinations
are used in the diagnosis of different diseases, while the
discoveries and ideas of the individual authors are described. Some
fields are not included, such as echocardiography. Gabriel Kalifa

Parents in our culture today are bombarded by "experts" offering
"tools," "programs," diagnoses," treatments" and medications. Why
doesn't any of it seem to help our children act and feel better?
With this book parents will learn: . Children's brains are wired
from conception through adolescence to need certain parenting and
educational conditions that are different from almost everything
that we have grown up with or have learned from our culture. . What
people in peaceful tribal cultures have known about parenting and
education for millennia . How to heal their children's mental
health, behavioral and learning problems at the root causes,
resulting in genuine improvements in family happiness. "Instead of
Medicating and Punishing" is for parents of children of all ages,
from pregnancy through late adolescence. It is for parents of
children who have mild, moderate or severe mental health, learning
or behavioral problems and also addresses the special needs of
adoptive children.
This comprehensive, 270-page book, written by lung transplant
recipient Karen A. Couture, covers the entire transplantation
process from beginning to end for both lung and heart-lung
transplants.
This book introduces the reader, in easy-to-understand language, to
the complex process of getting on the transplant waiting list and
how the list works; preparing for surgery and the surgery itself;
financing the operation and the recovery afterward; and the
complications of rejection and the medications. It also includes
precautions a transplant recipient should take in order to live a
long and healthy life; returning to work or school; future trends
in transplantation; and writing to your donor family.
Scattered throughout this book are excerpts from the stories of
pre-transplant patients, recipients and caregivers, to offer the
unique perspective only a person going through the process could
furnish.
This edition also provides a wealth of information in an extensive,
up-to-date resource section; glossary; appendix of all lung
transplant centers, including waiting time and the number of
transplants performed; bibliography; and worksheets. This
publication is a must-read for transplant candidates, recipients,
family members, as well as social workers, and nurse transplant
coordinators.
