This book offers a new vision on urban gun violence that focuses on public space-centered concepts, events, and research. It builds on our existing knowledge base by viewing a "slice" of this problem through celebratory and solemn occasions and how violence at these events and spaces reflects on the state of urban gun violence. Understanding this context serves to inform us on how best to address this social phenomenon. Gun violence in the United States is a salient national problem with virtually no day that goes by without it occurring, particularly in urban public spaces, making it a significant social event. This book uniquely presents an urban- and event-focused context for gun violence. It also draws attention to marginalized urban communities, merging urban public spaces, events, intersectionality, social justice, and gun violence, introducing a unique window to better comprehend this violence as a national issue and bringing profound consequences when it transpires in a public event.To examine the context of public spaces and events in gun violence, the author organized the book's ten chapters in three sections: Part I: Conceptual Foundation sets the foundation for a multifaceted perspective. Part II: Celebratory and Solemn Events expands the gun violence arena. Part III: Implications for Research, Education, and Practice.Urban Public Spaces, Events, and Gun Violence: Block Parties, Funerals, Mother's Day, and Other Community Events expands the context of gun violence beyond the street scene to include public settings and events, and helps in achieving a comprehensive understanding of this public health problem and how best to solve it. The book is essential reading for practitioners, academics, and researchers in public health, social work, criminal justice, and community practice.

The book covers all aspects of peri-operative anesthetic management of liver transplant patients. It provides a comprehensive coverage of the relevant history, surgeons', hepatologists', intensivists' and pediatricians' perspective of the disease, its pathogenesis, clinical presentation and indication for transplant. It discusses the practical aspects like fluid management and use of vasopressors. The book is divided into sections for a better and comprehensive delivery of information. Individual sections provide up to date information on the pre-operative issues and optimisation, intra-operative care and management and post-operative critical care issues and management of all transplant patients with special emphasis on recent advances. Separate sections cover ICU care of these patients in great detail and anesthetic management of pediatric liver transplant. The book includes anesthetic techniques involved in conducting multiorgan transplant. It discusses clinical approach toa patient with acute liver failure, brain death criteria and laws and organ donor management. It also presents newer techniques and methodologies adopted in the field of liver transplant. It includes ample illustrations, flowcharts, key points in each chapter, figures and photographs. The book contains chapters focusing on post-transplant patients presenting for non-transplant surgery. The book fills the gap in the literature for a comprehensive guide for the anesthetist performing or pursuing liver transplant, students/trainees/examinees who have a keen interest in this field and doctors dealing with such patients in critical care, donor management, pursuing general anesthesia. It is also helpful for hepatologists, intensivists and surgeons associated with liver transplant.

The main aim of this book is to offer an easy tool to read a scientific article with greater awareness, to understand and evaluate it more thoroughly, and to better plan research. Today, in the era of evidence-based medicine, both research and daily patient-focused clinical practice are no longer possible without a thorough knowledge of the literature and its continuous updates.Written by surgeons for surgeons, this practical book makes the basic concept of statistics and research methodology easy to understand and apply for young surgeons and researchers, students and residents.

This book on post-injury multiple organ failure (MOF) offers a comprehensive overview and clinically focused practical guide to treating the condition. MOF is arguably the most difficult complication to manage in polytrauma patients and is responsible for the majority of trauma deaths among patients who survived the first 24 hours after injury. Beyond mortality, it has a major impact on healthcare resource utilization and a persistent negative effect on patients' long-term reported outcomes. This book is edited by surgeons who are passionate about the topic, and about optimizing the outcomes for polytrauma patients. Grasping the fascinating pathophysiology of MOF is essential for providing patients with quality early care. Each chapter highlights key learning objectives, historical perspectives, diagnostic and therapeutic pearls, and includes a must-know summary, additional reading suggestions and future research directions. Flowcharts, decision-making guides, summary tables, graphics and clinical photographs help to maximize the learning experience and to ensure readers retain what they've learned. The book fills a unique niche area for many specialties dedicated to critical care of polytrauma patients and to their management before and beyond intensive care.

This book assesses the main features of COVID-19 from a clinical point of view, based on observations made during the disease epidemic in Northern Italy, one of the most affected areas in the world (the region has been the epicenter of the global pandemic for more than a month), and the first region outside China facing overwhelming numbers of cases. With no practical guidelines in place, Italian doctors were called to fight against an unknown disease. For the first time in modern history, healthcare workers and decision-makers had to find rapid solutions to a life-changing health crisis with no evidence-based recommendations or procedures in place to guide their actions. Sharing the lessons learned from this experience, and offering practical tips on implementing future programs for pandemic preparedness, the book is a valuable tool for medical practitioners and health-policy-makers wanting to better understand the complexity of the current and future global health crises.

Julia Hofmann konzipiert in diesem Open Access Buch ein Physiologiemodell für die präzise Simulation bestimmter Verletzungsfolgen und deren Behandlung in einer Computerspielumgebung. Ihre Ergebnisse leisten einen wichtigen Beitrag, um die Ausbildung von Einsatzkräften in der taktischen Verwundetenversorgung mit neuen Medien zu verbessern. Primäre Zielgruppe sind dabei die sogenannten Erst-Helfer-Bravo der Bundeswehr. Die medizinische Grundlage der Arbeit bildet der internationale Erstversorgungsalgorithmus Tactical Combat Casualty Care, der die Überlebenschancen lebensbedrohlich verwundeter Personen erwiesenermaßen deutlich erhöht. Das entworfene Physiologiemodell wurde mithilfe praktizierender Notfallmediziner und Ausbilder der Bundeswehr validiert.

Anästhesisten müssen in nicht alltäglichen Situationen geistesgegenwärtig Entscheidungen treffen können - und zwar die richtigen! Anästhesie impliziert die Übernahme der Verantwortung für den betreuten Patienten, wofür neben einer guten Portion Intuition die ständige Abrufbarkeit eines großen Repertoires an Wissen notwendig ist.Kaum ein Anästhesist wird ohne ein Buch oder wenigstens einen Spickzettel in der Kitteltasche sein Dienstzimmer verlassen. So ist auch das vorliegende Taschenbuch Anästhesie, gespickt mit vielen vitalen Fragestellungen, direkt in der täglichen Praxis entstanden. Es enthält, übersichtlich und konkret, die wichtigsten Praxistipps und Warnhinweise - wo immer möglich - auf Basis der DGAI-Leitlinien.
