The incidence of diabetes is increasing both in the western world
and in developing countries; type 2 diabetes increase is partly the
result of greater obesity. Diabetes can cause two major problems to
the foot - diabetic neuropathy resulting in nerve damage and
peripheral vascular disease reducing the flow of blood. These can
result in ulceration of the foot which needs careful management to
avoid the possibility of amputation. This management is best
undertaken by multidisciplinary teams using the latest evidence to
support their practice. This book presents a comprehensive and
authoritative coverage of the latest evidence-based investigations,
techniques and management of the diabetic foot. Evidenced-based
management of the diabetic foot International, multidisciplinary
team of editors and contributors Comprehensive reference for all
health professionals involved in the care of diabetic foot problems
Trains, Literature and Culture: Reading and Writing the Rails
delves into the rich connections between rail travel and the
creation of cultural products from short stories to novels, from
photographs to travel guides, and from artistic manifestos of the
avant-garde to Freud's psychology. Each of the contributions
engages in critical readings of textual or visual representations
of trains across a wide spectrum of time periods and
traditions-from English and American to Mexican, West African and
European literary cultures. By turns trope, metaphor, and emblem of
technological progress, these textual and visual representations of
the train serve at times to index racial and gender inequalities,
to herald the arrival of a nation's independence, and at still
others to evince the trauma of industrialization. In each instance,
the figure of the train emerges as a complex narrative form engaged
by artists who were "Reading & Writing the Rails" as a way of
assessing the competing discursive investments of cultural
modernity.
This PhD thesis characterises the damage that occurs in tungsten
when it is exposed to a fusion-like environment. The book presents
pioneering work on the use of grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray
scattering (GISAXS) to measure nano-bubble formation in tungsten
exposed to helium plasma. The phenomenon of nanoscale bubble
formation within metals during helium plasma exposure can lead to
undesirable changes in the material properties, such as complex
nanoscale surface modification or a reduction in thermal
conductivity. As a result of this work, it is now possible to
quantify how nanobubble behaviour changes within different
materials, and under different plasma conditions. In 2015 the
author published the first GISAXS study of helium-induced
nanobubble formation in tungsten, demonstrating the viability of
using GISAXS for this work. This paper has generated significant
interest from the international fusion community and was selected
as one of the highlights for the journal Nuclear Fusion.

The Oxford Textbook of Vascular Surgery draws on the expertise of
over 130 specialist contributors to encompass the field of vascular
surgery. Through the use of figures, findings of contemporary
trials, and additional online content, this textbook is an
excellent study material for surgical trainees entering their final
two years of training, in addition to serving as an effective
reference source for practicing surgeons. This volume discusses the
epidemiology, vascular biology, clinical features and management of
diseases that affect the vasculature and contains dedicated
chapters which address topics such as paediatric surgery, damage
control surgery, and amputations. The text follows a logical
framework which complements the published Intercollegiate Surgery
Curriculum making it particularly useful in preparation for the
Intercollegiate Examination. The online version of The Oxford
Textbook of Vascular Surgery is free for twelve months to
individual purchasers of this book and contains the full text of
the print edition, links to external sources and informative videos
demonstrating current surgical techniques, making this a valuable
resource for practicing surgeons. The field of vascular surgery has
advanced rapidly in recent years and has expanded to include the
techniques of interventional radiology and cardiology which are
also extensively covered in this volume, making it an authoritative
modern text. By combining contemporary evidence-based knowledge
with informative figures, online resources and links to the current
training curriculum, The Oxford Textbook of Vascular Surgery is a
highly valuable source of information and will become the standard
reference text for all who study vascular disease and its
treatment.

Low-budget sci-fi drama following a couple who are grieving after
the loss of their child. Rich Hadley (Jonathon Lamer) and his wife
Jamie (Theresa Layne) are distraught after the death of their son.
One night while Rich is out walking their dog he encounters a group
of people who he later discovers are soul collectors - collecting
the souls of their deceased loved ones and releasing them into
heaven through vortexes. With this in mind, Rich becomes obsessed
with the idea of finding his son and seeing him one last time
before he lets go.
Oxford Specialist Handbooks are portable, succinct, and above all
reliable guides to difficult and challenging areas of surgical
practice. The second edition of Vascular Surgery has been fully
revised and updated to meet the needs of the vascular surgery
trainee. Providing practical advice on all commonly encountered
peripheral vascular problems. It focuses on surgical detail, but
also carries background information on presentation and details on
preoperative investigation and postoperative management. It gives
relevant information for use when seeking patient consent. Each
operation carries the latest OPCS code, increasingly important in
recording surgical activity.
Perspectives on Snare Drum and Drum Set is an instructional text
written by musician and instructor Matthew Thompson. The curriculum
was created over the course of Mr. Thompson's more than twenty
years of private and group instruction experience as well as from
his experience as a student. The text is written as a general
overview of the art of playing both the snare drum and the drum set
with the goal of getting a student to a point of literacy and
musical awareness as efficiently as possible. This goal is balanced
with another: giving enough detailed information to allow the
reader historical insight into the practical aspects of these
instruments. All of this is done in a tone and language that will
resonate with most anyone. After completion of this book, the
reader should understand all the basic concepts and techniques to
move into any other more specialized course of study without
difficulty.
