Dynamics Of The Vascular System: Interaction With The Heart (Second Edition)

By: John K-j Li

The first edition of the book was written employing mathematical techniques to formulate the physical principles involved in the structural and functional correlates of the underlying physiology.This current and self-contained second edition updates many of the new findings since its first edition a decade ago. It also includes a new chapter on the 'Interaction with the Heart'. The dynamics of the arterial system, the venous system, the microcirculation and their interaction with the heart are quantitatively described in terms of their structures and functions. Clinical measurements, applications to the cardiovascular field and physiological mechanisms are clearly identified throughout the text. Most importantly, worked examples are provided, such that the readers can appreciate the application aspects of the underlying formulation.

The Arterial Circulation

Physical Principles and Clinical Applications

By: John K-J Li

After yet another decade of leaming, experimenting, and inves tigating since my first book, Arterial System Dynamics, the many new medical breakthroughs and technological advances have inspired me to write this book to bridge the gap between basic research and clinical applications. The application of physical principles and quantitative approaches to the understanding of the arterial circulation and its interactions with the heart in normal and diseased conditions form the basis of The Arterial Circulation. Knowledge of the physiology and rheology of arteries, as well as all of their structural-functional corre lates, is a necessary prerequisite to the proper hemodynamic interpretatiqn of pressure-flow relations and the pulsatile transmis sion characteristics in different arteries. The natural coupling and interactions of the heart, the coronary circulation, and the arterial system necessitate analysis of alterations to global functioning. Modeling provides a tool for isolating and predicting parameter changes and is employed throughout the book. Experimental data are provided for model validations, and also for more realistic interpretations. Techniques and new methods for clinical hemo dynamic measurement and diagnosis are included to help the reader un derstand the physical principles underlying such abnormal cardiovascular functions as hypertension, stenosis, and myocardial ischemia. The progressive changes in vascular properties during aging are also discussed. Modem approaches utilizing computer mode ling and allomery are presented with selected examples, such as combined hypertension and aortic valve stenosis, and ventricular hypertrophy.

Crosswind

A Runbook on Praying for Children

By: John Rajanayakam

John Rajanayakam looks back on a spiritual journey that led him to understand weighty spiritual issues and seeks to transfer his knowledge to his only daughter, Nandita, in Crosswind. The author provides a practical resource that his daughter and her husband—and any parent, family member, or friend of a child—can look to when faced with challenges. As a “runbook,” the author shares what happened in his home church in Columbus, Indiana, in 2012. The church’s members embarked on a forty-day journey of focused prayer for children inside and outside the church. The process was simple: A wall of prayer was created near the altar and the names of children were written on it. Volunteers took turns praying at the wall, guided by the six Cs that were determined to be the most important principles: commitment, choices, challenges/sufferings, companions, character, and calling. As a church body, the members prayed for more than 350 children—and God performed amazing miracles. Children experienced healing, restored relationships, and other significant blessings. Steeped in Scripture, this book will serve the author’s daughter and son-in-law well, as well as any parent, family member, teacher, or mentor who wants to raise children strong in faith.

1 Samuel (Redesign)

Looking for a Leader

By: John Woodhouse

The Old Testament book of 1 Samuel records the story of three important leaders in Israel's history: Samuel, Saul, and David. The lives of these flawed men showcase God's gracious response to ancient Israel's leadership crisis, offering valuable lessons related to why leaders fail, the impact this failure can have on God's people, and what it means to model godly leadership—even today. In this accessible commentary, John Woodhouse shows how 1 Samuel reveals the importance of true leadership and the character of the godly leader. More significantly, this volume points forward to Jesus Christ, the fulfillment of God's promises to his people and the only perfect leader the world has ever known. Those who preach and teach God's Word will find this an invaluable resource as they seek to help others embrace 1 Samuel's timely message. Part of the Preaching the Word series.
