Considerations in Special Populations with Severe Sepsis; Pediatric
Severe Sepsis Resuscitation; The New Usual Care; Prehospital Sepsis
Care; Endpoints of Sepsis Resuscitation; Pitfalls in the Diagnosis,
Treatment, and Disposition of Severe Sepsis; Biomarkers in Sepsis;

This book critically assesses Christchurch, New Zealand as an
evolving post-earthquake city. It examines the impact of the
2010-13 Canterbury earthquake sequence, employing a chronological
structure to consider 'damage and displacement', 'recovery and
renewal' and 'the city in transition'. It offers a framework for
understanding the multiple experiences and realities of
post-earthquake recovery. It details how the rebuilding of the city
has occurred and examines what has arisen in the context of an
unprecedented opportunity to refashion land uses and social
experience from the ground up. A recurring tension is observed
between the desire and tendency of some to reproduce previous urban
orthodoxies and the experimental efforts of others to fashion new
cultures of progressive place-making and attention to the
more-than-human city. The book offers several lessons for
understanding disaster recovery in cities. It illuminates the
opportunities disasters create for both the reassertion of the
familiar and the emergence of the new; highlights the divergence of
lived experience during recovery; and considers the extent to which
a post-disaster city is prepared for likely climate futures. The
book will be valuable reading for critical disaster researchers as
well as geographers, sociologists, urban planners and policy makers
interested in disaster recovery.
Gamma cameras are traditionally large devices that are situated in
nuclear medicine departments, but recent advances in detector
design have enabled the production of compact gamma cameras that
allow nuclear imaging at the patient bedside and in the operating
theatre. Gamma Cameras for Interventional and Intraoperative
Imaging is the first book to cover this new area of imaging, and
provides a unique insight into the experimental and clinical use of
small field of view gamma cameras in hospitals. This book explores
advances in the design and operation of compact gamma cameras and
conducts a thorough review of current SFOV systems, before
exploring the clinical applications of the technology. It is an
essential reference for surgeons, operating theatre staff, clinical
scientists (medical physicists), technologists, nuclear physicians
and radiologists whose patients could benefit from this technology.

In contemporary discussions of media serialization, the film
trilogy is typically absorbed into larger considerations of
remaking, repetition and recycling. Film Trilogies: New Critical
Approaches is the first book to actively address this preconception
by attending to the ways in which the trilogy is practiced and
perceived as a distinct form at the levels of industry, textuality
and criticism. Acknowledging the trilogy's high level of visibility
as a commercial mode, as well as its strong historical connections
to discourses of authorship and art cinema, the collection begins
from the premise that the classification imparts a level of
precision exceeding the categories of 'sequels' and 'series'. In
lively case studies from American, European and Asian contexts,
leading film scholars take up this question to investigate the
value that the trilogy nomination brings to a set of films.
Drawing on a wide range of examples, this book - the first devoted
to the phenomenon of the film trilogy- provides a dynamic
investigation of the ways in which the trilogy form engages key
issues in contemporary discussions of film remaking, adaptation,
sequelization and serialization.
Chronically homeless individuals are those who spend long periods
of time living on the street or other places not meant for human
habitation, and who have one or more disabilities, frequently
including mental illnesses and substance use disorders. In the 2014
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) point-in-time
count of people experiencing homelessness, over 84,000 individuals
met the definition of chronically homeless, down from more than
120,000 in 2008. In part the decline is due to the federal
governments plan, announced in 2002, to end chronic homelessness
within 10 years. The target date has since been extended to 2017.
Among the federal programs focused on ending chronic homelessness
are the HUD Homelessness Assistance Grants, the HUD and Veterans
Affairs Supported Housing Program (HUD-VASH), and several HUD
demonstration programs. One of the reasons that federal programs
have devoted resources to ending chronic homelessness is studies
finding that individuals who experience it, particularly those with
serious mental illness, use many expensive services often paid
through public sources, including emergency room visits, inpatient
hospitalisations, and law enforcement and jail time. Even emergency
shelter resources can be costly. In addition to potential ethical
reasons for ending chronic homelessness, doing so could reduce
costs in providing assistance to this population. This book
summarises the research surrounding permanent supportive housing
(PSH) for chronically homeless individuals. In doing so, it
attempts to examine the nuance in the research to determine where
PSH could be considered successful and where gaps may remain. The
book discusses what it means to be chronically homeless, the way in
which assistance for chronically homeless individuals has evolved,
and how federal programs target assistance to individuals
experiencing chronic homelessness. In addition, it summarises the
research regarding chronically homeless individuals who move into
PSH.
