This book examines the modes of representation of the East in
Argentinean literature since the country's independence, in works
by canonical authors such as Esteban Echeverria, Juan B. Alberdi,
Domingo F. Sarmiento, Lucio V. Mansilla, Pastor S. Obligado,
Eduardo F. Wilde, Leopoldo Lugones, and Roberto Arlt. The East,
which has always fascinated intellectuals and artists from the
Americas, inspired the creation of imaginary elements for both
aesthetic and political purposes, from the depiction of purportedly
despotic rulers to a genuine admiration for Eastern history and
millennial cultures. These writers appropriated the East either
through their travels or by reading chronicles, integrating along
the way images that would end up being universalized by the
Argentinean dichotomy between civilization and barbarism, all the
while assigning the negative stereotypes of the exotic East to the
Pampa region. With time, the exoticism of the Eastern world would
shed its geopolitical meaning and was ultimately integrated into
the national literature, thus adding new elements into the
Argentinean imaginary.
An authoritative and comprehensive review of the most important
clinical issues facing critically ill neurologic and neurosurgical
patients. The authors provide pertinent basic, clinical,
diagnostic, and management guidelines for all the conditions
commonly encountered in the neurocritical care unit, including the
management of autonomic disorders that require critical care,
postoperative management, and endovascular treatment. The authors
also discuss the latest developments in the monitoring of different
body systems, emphasizing the management of cardiorespiratory
complications and other medical conditions that may threaten the
patient's life. Also detailed are the concepts of intracranial
physiology and current neuromonitoring techniques, subjects whose
understanding is basic to effective management of critically ill
neurologic patients. Numerous tables, figures, diagrams, and
radiographs simplify and explicate both the diagnostic and
therapeutic processes.
