Law is neither panacea nor justice. An element of calculation, it answers to the "how" question, whereas justice answers to the "why" question. Law is anything but simple. It is a piecemeal doctrinal construction, each part more readily explained by the circumstances of its addition than by its relation to a coherent whole. An up to date analysis of the court-visited 36 cases, this monograph depicts the challenges, and outcomes of surgical negligence claims in the States, by covering a range of malpractice determinants: plaintiff's reasonableness, surgeon's state of mind, res ipsa loquitur, inter alia, strict liability, qualifications of the witness-expert, plain-error doctrine, but-for rule and proximate causation, patent law and infringement, defamation, concert of actions, conspiracy, fraud, taxation of the awards, and the dicta.

Nestling in the south of Germany and surrounded with Alpine ring, Bavaria is a blessed land of picture-book scenery. The sky over Bavaria so often resembles Bavarian flag - a symphony of blue and white, bathing the state in sunshine even when the clouds cover the rest of the country. This is due to the Foehn, a downwind from the Alps that blows away even the caravan of the thickest clouds. Enchanting medieval towns with postcard houses, the world's favorite Neuschwanstein Castle that upstages the Nature itself, sophisticated art and craft of making signature violins, endearing Bavarian corsets (Dirndl and Niederhausen), river surfing, opera festivals, Maibock and Schuhplattler, world's number one quality beer, hearty snacks in beer gardens, beautiful customs passed down through centuries, they all resonate resoundingly with Bavarian joie de vivre. While planning to visit Bavaria be prepared, for after seeing this true land of fairly tales, you will never wish to leave it.

Unconscious null-para arrives in emergency room with the uterine rupture in progress. A cesarean section is performed followed by hysterectomy. Understandably, the surgery causes a permanent impairment. Result? No battery. Why? The hospital and physicians can prove an affirmative defense of consent. In a prima facie case, for a patient incapable of giving or withholding consent, the consent is implied by law. So too, there was no intent to harm the patient. What about negligence? There is a room for the negligence claim in this case, because the hospital and physicians had the duty to perform a procedure with careful considerations of per quod determinants, burden/benefit ratio, including the wishes of the patient to remain fecund or fertile. To establish a negligence and to build a case, the informed consent doctrine is irrelevant, for this case addresses all six elements of medical negligence: duty, applicable standard of care, breach, actual cause, proximate case, and damage. The law of surgical negligence is an ever-evolving overhaul of acts, codes, stare, decisis, or doctrines. Any definition in surgical malpractice that includes the notion of reasonableness raises alarm bells. The action for surgical negligence may extend from misdiagnoses, wrong site surgery, misrepresentation, to injurious falsehood, investment privilege, joint ownership, patent infringement, culpability, or defamation. Packed in 27 chapters and 29 illustrations of surgical scenes, the current effort briefs 50 published cases of surgical negligence, from I.R.A.C. (issue, rule, analysis, conclusion), precedents, legal limits, to dispositions, verdicts, remedies, and reasoning pursuant to the Constitutional or statute enactments in the United States and District of Columbia. The presented cases are sourced at LexisNexis, BlueBook, and Westlaw. All cases are published, and free for the public visit under the U.S. Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Brady Rule, the Patient Safety & Quality Improvement Act 2005 (PSQIA), 14th Amendment Due Process Clause, 17 U.S.C. 512, Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA); among other instruments. Each case analysis ends with keywords.

AUTHORS NOTE: Dedicated to the 300th birthday of Frederick the Great, this book presents one of the most elusive and controversial rulers of the 18th century, subjected to myriad glories and legends, and whose personality requires a few more centuries to duke it out what kind of combat or person he was. Since German unification under the Great Elector, Frederick II has been unfairly seen as the root of militarist Germany that dominated Europe during the First and Second World Wars. Most biographies focus heavily on the rehabilitation of his reputation that was already overshadowed by Napoleon Bonaparte. But the consistency of his character makes it plain that Frederick II was a military genius, who could lead troops from the front in the thick of the battles, losing horses under him, loosing Generals, and still fearlessly moving forward with bullet wholes through his collar. Frederick II was a self-styled philosopher, a classed "monarch-enluminator," whose domestic reforms and expansions made Prussia an iron kingdom, doubling its holdings. He was Voltaires pen-pal. He admired Voltaire, argued with him, and brain-stormed him. This book also describes the King's passion of poetry, his correspondence with Voltaire, treatment of military and diplomatic causes, warfare, state-society nexus, and ardent sense for art and music. He had composed 121 flute sonatas, 4 concertos, areas, a symphony, and an overture. He wrote the treatise "Anti-Machiavel." He sketched and designed his resort Sanssouci in Potsdam, the grand palace and parks, the opulent equivalents to the Chateau de Versailles, and the European prototype of todays Epcot. Seen as a despot and nobleman at the same time, Frederick was a fascinating character for his rivals. In all complexities of that extraordinary spirit, one thing at least is certain; that spirit, whether it was admirable to some, or odious to others, was moved by a terrific force.

A fictionalization of Guerre's story, an expository depiction of the battle of Saint-Quentin and the reconquest of the British Calais, the two Dianas refer to women near and dear to Henry the Second: the king's mistress Diane de Portier, and the illegitimate daughter Diana de Castro. The first volume shapes the romance between Diana de Castro and the Count Gabriel Montgommery - with trials and tribulations. The second volume focuses on the Catholic/Protestant conflicts under the reigns of Francis II (married to Mary of Scots) and Charles IX. This effort converts Dumas Pere's novel (The Two Dianas) into 17 epics and illustrations of the terrifying meetings between the Viscount d'Exemes (Montgommery) and Henry II, the identity trial between Arnold du Thill and Martin Guerre, and introduces notable historical figures, such as Catherine de Medicis, Mary Stuart, Cardinal de Lorraine, and of course, Ambroise Pare-the famous French surgeon with his audacious techniques and inventions. Transforming the 424-page prose into a 218-page stanza, the plot remains unaltered.

A trace element (TE) is a chemical element presented below 0.1 wt. % and required in minute quantities to maintain proper physical functioning. TE analysis in clinical samples (plasma, urine, cerebro-spinal fluid, full-term placenta, hair, nails, buccal mucosa, semen, biopsy specimens) has received increasing attention. Based on 62 sources, current effort presents comparative knowledge about the attempts to accurately trace TE in clinical samples through Vis/NIR, PIXE, TXRF, GFAAS, ICP-MS. It informs the need for further research adjustments to reveal the reciprocal states of certain TE (Cu/Zn, Ca/Mg, Fe/ Pb) in correlation with their real-time counts in both maternal and neonatal umbilical cord plasma, and in relation to augmented oxidative stress. This would help to achieve consistency in interpreting obstetrical complications (preeclampsia, prematurity, or gestational diabetes). Generated hypotheses should target plausible mechanisms behind TE alterations and their stage-sensitive measures in gynecological cancer. New prospects are discussed in management and prognosis of endometriosis and premature ovarian failure (POF).
