This book provides a personal history of Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and its remarkable rise, starting from 2003, into the ranks of the top universities in the world as a leading Asian university and the youngest (less than 50 years old) to have achieved this status. It describes the role of the leadership team of Su Guaning, Haresh Shah, and Bertil Andersson, which together formed the 'Troika'. It provides a record of NTU's growth and how it came about through a root and branch reform of the university executed, with the support of the Singapore Government and the NTU Board of Trustees, by the Troika, to become such a prominent academic institution.
Basic and vital information for the trainee on the care of a child in neonatology. This handbook, now in its third edition, has been an important tool for anyone who ever has to look up facts and figures in neonatology immediately. The text is concise and crucial details are bulleted for the reader's convenience.
This book is a comprehensive guide to the diagnosis and management of obstetric and gynaecologic disorders. Divided into three sections, the text begins with obstetric disorders. This section is further divided into antepartum, intrapartum and postpartum, operations and procedures, and emergencies. Each of these subspecialties covers numerous conditions and topics. The second section discusses gynaecologic disorders and surgical procedures including laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. The final section covers associated topics including blood components, medicolegal issues, record keeping, and medical insurance. The practical text is further enhanced by clinical and surgical images and diagrams.
Haresh loves his mother Pushpa intensely. As a seven year old girl, she garlanded Gandhi at Bhadran, while he was on his famous Dandi March in 1930. Haresh was born in Bhadran in l943, prior to India's Partition. As his Hindu grandfather was a hypocrite, belonging to a Demonic Cult, Haresh started his spiritual journey at 12, after having read Gandhi's autobiography, "My Experiments with Truth." It ignited his consciousness and led him to be a jurist. He studied most of the scriptures of people and philosophy. But, being truthful, he could not succeed in a corrupt society. During the emergency days of 1975, Haresh actively participated with George Fernandese in the underground activities of the 'Baroda Dynamite Conspiracy.' In 1980, Sri Aurobindo's invisible presence initiated Haresh in the occult world of 'Savitri.' In 1982, Sri Shankar Giri, his Spiritual Master, initiated him into the mysterious occult science of Atharvana. Haresh was led to an LDS Church in Chicago, wherein he was baptized and ordained into Aaronic Priesthood. He was also gifted with the 'Holy Ghost'. On October, 22, 1994 of the same year he was mysteriously transformed into Christ Consciousness. At the insistence of Elder James Maddux, he has recorded his Epistolary Autobiography from 1994 up to 2008. Gandhi experimented with Truth all his life. He never experienced it. Unlike Gandhi, Haresh has not only experienced Truth, he lives it from moment to moment, in accordance with inner promptings from 'Holy Ghost.' This book is a story of Haresh, who is He Himself.
Preterm birth interrupts the normal developmental progression of most organs, particularly when birth occurs at the lowest level of viability. An immediate task is to successfully transition to a post-natal life without a placental circulation. To do this demands careful management of the cardiorespiratory systems. To best help the fragile preterm infant at this demanding time, care-givers must remember two most pressing goals. These are first to maintain adequacy of gas exchange and delivery, while simultaneously minimizing any secondary injury to the fragile preterm lung. However, after these immediate priorities in the delivery room, the longer term effects of an immature lung development and its associated problems come to the forefront. These problems include the inflammation of perinatal infection, oxygen, and invasive mechanical ventilation. Both the immaturity itself, and secondary lung injury and its inflammation – collectively will often lead to the condition termed bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Although many of these infants may eventually be discharged to home without a need for oxygen supplementation or pulmonary medications, the long-term impact of interrupted lung development and secondary lung injury remain serious concerns. It is now well recognized that mechanical ventilation is pivotal to developing secondary lung injury and BPD. Consequently, a great deal of time and effort has been put into the development and application of non-invasive ventilator (NIV) approaches to supporting respiratory function in neonates. Since the landmark publication by Gregory and colleagues in 1967, nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) has been the most commonly applied approach to NIV. This approach has been supported by the recent generation of randomized controlled trials. However, cumulatively these trials have shown only a small reduction in rates of BPD. Outside of the trial data, despite the wider application of nCPAP, rates of BPD remain relatively unchanged over recent years. This has led to investigations of other NIV approaches including nasal ventilation and high flow nasal cannula therapy. Not only have available modes increased, but so have the interfaces through which these modes may be applied. In the issue of Clinic in Perinatology, readers will find an up-to-date review of non-invasive approaches to supporting preterm respiratory function. This draws on the expertise of leading investigators in the field. This issue reviews the physiologic mechanisms by which the various approaches to NIV may support respiratory function; the evidence base supporting different NIV approaches; and adjunctive aspects of NIV therapy including their use during neonatal transport and the application of other supportive therapies such as inhaled NO.

The Manual of Pediatric Intensive Care distills the salient information required to provide state-of-the-art care for the acutely ill and injured child into a concise, readily useful guide. Providing timely and appropriate care is a daunting challenge for fontline caregivers, early response and transport teams and pediatric and critical care trainees. This manual delivers the basic information and practical advice needed by those who provide urgently needed care to children in a format that occupies the middle ground between the voluminous, highly detailed textbook and the 'to do' lists that provide no physiological background for the approach presented. An introduction for beginners and a valuable aid for those already engaged in the care of acutely ill children, the Manual of Pediatric Intensive Care comprises contributions from specialists from around the world, including doctors, nurses, pharmacists and respiratory therapists.
