Acute Renal Failure in Practice, edited by practising renal
physicians, is the essential guide to the clinical management of
patients with acute renal failure and its complex, life-threatening
metabolic sequelae. This book explains the workings of the normal
kidney, illustrates the aetiology and pathophysiology of acute
renal disease, and provides practical treatment guidelines relevant
to the day-to-day needs of the practising clinician. There is a
clear emphasis on the underlying pathogenic mechanisms naturally
leading to a full understanding of the rationale behind the
recommended treatments. Each chapter is illustrated throughout by
coloured tables and diagrams, and incorporates unique
easy-to-follow "practice points" algorithms which detail,
step-by-step, the precise treatment protocols required to succeed
in caring for these complex patients. An entire section is
dedicated to dealing with patients who develop acute renal failure
in specific hospital settings, such as the labour ward or intensive
care unit. Doctors working in a wide range of acute medical
specialities frequently encounter patients with acute renal failure
and will therefore find this an invaluable clinical handbook.

Throughout the history of social assistance programs,
administrators have attempted to limit access only to those
families considered "worthy" of assistance. Policies about
worthiness have included both judgements about need, generally tied
to income, demographic characteristics, or family circumstances,
and judgements about moral character, often as evidenced by
behaviour. Past policies evaluating moral character based on family
structure have been replaced by today's policies, which focus on
criminal activity, particularly drug-related criminal activity.
This book provides an overview of the history and evolution of
policies establishing drug- and crime-related restrictions in
federal assistance programs with a focus on TANF, SNAP, and three
primary federal housing assistance programs (the public housing
program, the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program, and the
project-based Section 8 rental assistance program).
