Drug-resistant infections are one of the greatest threats to human health, and with resistance on the rise, appropriate antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) is more important than ever. This book, written by nurses for nurses, provides a clear and concise approach to good practice in this vital area. Exploring all aspects of AMS, this new book is…
The development of pain as a common experience and its treatment is very important, not only where it is caused by injury or inflammation, but also in chronic states where the nerves themselves are damaged.Even though we already know from physiological studies that special pain receptors or nociceptors are responsible for conducting pain sensations to…
The antiphospholipid syndrome (Hughes syndrome) is now over a quarter of a century old. Although most of the major clinical features were described in the original papers between 1983 and 1985, the ensuing 25 years have seen a filling out of the clinical detail and recognition that the syndrome is of major medical importance. More…
This book provides an overview of our current understanding of this major disease. It includes the latest information on the new pathogenetic mechanisms involved as well as clinical manifestations in both “the thrombotic†and “non-thrombotic†manifestations of this important disease.* Comprehensive review of this major disease* Includes information on treatment options availableAntiphospholipid Syndrome in Systemic…
This new edition is a comprehensive and updated resource on antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), which is an autoimmune disorder. In APS, the body recognizes certain normal components of blood and/or cell membranes as foreign substances and produces antibodies (antiphospholipid antibodies) against them. APS is associated with recurrent clotting events (thrombosis) including premature stroke, repeated miscarriages, phlebitis,…
The International Congress on Antiphospholipid Antibodies is held every three years to discuss the recent advances and future directions in Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS). This volume collects the scientific highlights and new findings about APS that were generated from the most recent 13th Congress, held in Galveston, Texas in 2010. Chapters were written by an internationally-distinguished…
This book focuses on dynamic antiplane problems of piezoelectric ceramics.It presents relatively simple theoretical solutions to many such problems, and attempts to use these solutions to demonstrate the operation and design of several acoustic wave devices. Some of the solutions are able to show the underlying physics clearly without the need for numerical computation. The…
Antiplatelet therapy is the cornerstone of treatment of ischemic cardiovascular disease and over the last few years spectacular advancements in this field have been recorded.This is the first comprehensive handbook entirely dedicated to all the aspects of antiplatelet therapy. The book is divided into three main sections, pathophysiology, pharmacology and therapy, for a total of…
Platelets play a critical role in the pathophysiology of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and thromboembolic complications associated with atrial fibrillation.Anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapies are central to the treatment of ACS and atrial fibrillation. Over the last several decades, a better understanding of the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease and atrial fibrillation has led to refinements…
An up-to-date overview of blood coagulation, hemostatis, and thrombosis, this volume also provides a state-of-the-art report of current anti-thrombotic and anti-coagulant strategies as well as a summary of current research interest in the area and potential future targets.It attempts to balance traditional pharmacology with the newer sciences of molecular biology and in so doing, sets…
Distinguished authorship characterizes Antitrust Analysis: Problems, Text, and Cases, first written by Phil Areeda, the leading antitrust commentator of the 20th century.The text continues to be revised by two of the leading lawyer economists of the early 21st century. This traditional casebook is also known for its pedagogy (cases, explanatory text, and problems) and insightful…
This book explores in detail those legal issues that arise in counseling, planning, and litigating under the antitrust laws.It is designed to integrate theory and policy issues with doctrine and practice so that students will emerge with a fundamental grasp of antitrust doctrine, at least an introduction to the vagaries of antitrust practice, and a…

Die in Bauprojekten verwendete Planungsmethode Building Information Modeling (BIM) tangiert auch die Kostenermittlung im Bauwesen.Die sogenannte modellbasierte Kostenermittlung bietet neue Chancen durch die Verwendung von digitalen Bauwerksmodellen als zentrale Informationsquelle. In der derzeitigen Forschung werden die in der Praxis fehlenden Standardisierungen und mangelnde Datenqualit?t als bestehende Prozessbarrieren aufgezeigt. Es wird ein standardisierter, zielgerichteter Prozessablauf ben?tigt,…
