Major advances in both the technology and the medical knowledge of maintenance hemodialysis have been made since the early stages of such treatment in the 60s. Hemodialysis is now an established therapeutic method. and the time has come to present an up-to-date approach to all its technical and medical aspects. We adopted a simple and concise style with a clear design and a large number of tables and illustrations. so that not only health professionals but patients themselves can easily understand the essentials of hemodialysis. In addition to the most recent technical developments of hemodialysis. particular attention is given to biocompatibility. adequacy of dialysis and patient nutrition. The many clinical problems encountered in the dialysis patient have been especially emphasized. since proper management may prevent most uremia-related complications. Indeed. chronic hemodialysis consists not only of providing the patient with safe and well-tolerated dialysis sessions but also of maintaining good general condition, adequate nutritional status and well-being in the long term. All of us have worked in the field of nephrology and hemodialysis at Necker Hospital for more than 25 years, and several of our very first patients are still enjoying life thanks to hemodialysis. We hope that our experience will be of help to nephrologists. renal nurses and technicians in training so that they can offer their patients, through optimal dialysis, long survival with the best possible quality of life and rehabilitation.

What Americans call the Vietnam War actually began in December 1946 with a struggle between the communists and the French for possession of the country--but Vietnam's strategic position in southeast Asia inevitably led to the involvement of other countries. Written by an officer in the Republic of Vietnam Armed Forces, this poignant memoir seeks to clarify the nuances of South Vietnam's defeat. From the age of 12, Van Nguyen Duong watched as the conflict affected his home, family, village and friends. He discusses not only the day-to-day hardships of wartime but his postwar forced relocation and eventual imprisonment. A special focus is on the anguish caused by the illusive reality of Vietnamese independence. The political forces at work north and south, the hardships suffered by RVNAF soldiers after the 1975 U.S. withdrawal, and the effects of reunification on the Vietnamese people are discussed.

By telling her own story, the author shows how after recognizing that she was burned out in her career, she decided to take a three-month break. Rather than just taking the time off, she planned that time, breaking it into four sections: Play, Pause, Plan, and Pursue. She felt it was essential first to take the time to disengage from work and spend time with her family in Play. For Pause, she spent time on her own to slow down, meditate, and work on herself. That got her ready to Plan, where she investigated her core values and how she could incorporate those into her career. Pursue prepared her to re-enter the workforce. By interviewing others who have taken career breaks and sharing their stories, Laura gives readers a wide variety of options to take their own breaks–short or long. There are even a series of bite-sized break ideas for those who need a pause but don’t have the time or money to take off for three months. Each chapter ends with questions for the reader that will help them thoughtfully plan a break that works for them. A QR code at the back of the book will lead readers to templates and worksheets online plus a developing community of like-minded people. By the end of the book, readers will have the tools they need to plan and execute a career break and then return, either to their existing job or maybe something completely new, refreshed, motivated, and ready to work with a plan that will keep them from falling into old burnout traps.
