Over the past decade, there have been a large number of important
studies related to fluid management for the surgical patient,
resulting in confusion on this critical aspect of patient care.
Proper fluid therapy in the perioperative setting has always been
important but has only recently had concrete outcome-based
guidelines. This is the first comprehensive, up-to-date and
practical summary book on the topic.

Uncovering an ancient foundation myth, and literary tour de force,
obscured within the modern Bible. Embedded within
the Bible lies a largely unknown story of the founding of ancient
Israel and its religion, interwoven with other ancient tales more
than two thousand years ago in the process of creating the Torah.
Generations of scholars have painstakingly worked to recreate the
“Priestly Source,” also known as “P.” The complete text has
not appeared until now on its own in either Hebrew or English.
Beginning with the creation of the world and ending at the
edge of the promised land, the Priestly Source offers a distinctive
account of the origins of the people of Israel and a unique
perspective on their relationship with their god, Yahweh—one in
stark contrast to what is found when we read the Bible now. With a
translation by Liane Feldman, an authority on the text,
The Consuming Fire reveals the mythical foundation for the
practice of sacrifice in ancient Israelite and Jewish religion. By
presenting this fascinating material on its own,
The Consuming Fire offers an opportunity to expand our
understanding of ancient traditions and to find something new and
beautiful at the source.
The SAGES Manual on the Fundamental Use of Surgical Energy (FUSE)
emphasizes good communication and promotes best practice for the
use of electromechanical, ultrasonic, and microwave energy sources
in the operating theatre. This manual describes the basic
technology of energy sources in the operating room and demonstrates
the correct use and indications of energy sources in clinical
practice. It also addresses the potential complications, hazards,
and errors in the use of surgical energy sources and evaluates the
potential interactions of energy sources with other medical
devices. Any healthcare professional who has ever picked up an
energy device in the OR such as a "Bovie," Ultrasonic or bipolar
instrument will better understand how it works, when to apply it,
and what are the possible hazards and errors in its use. The SAGES
Manual on the Fundamental Use of Surgical Energy (FUSE) is the
first volume of its kind to provide such guidance and will be of
great value to surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, endoscopists,
and allied health care professionals who use these devices.
