For over three decades, Bennett & Brachman’s Hospital Infections has been a respected and influential resource in the prevention and control of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Now in its Sixth Edition, the book continues to provide readers with the latest information in the field of healthcare epidemiology, infection control, patient safety, and the prevention and control of HAIs. Many of the current contributors are or were employed by or trained at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and have a thorough knowledge of healthcare epidemiology. Topics covered include HAI epidemiology; surveillance; control programs; antimicrobial stewardship;antimicrobial resistance; mechanisms of resistance; sterilization and disinfection; food-borne diseases; the role of the laboratory, intensive care unit, operating room, dialysis, and nursery settings; and specific hospital-acquired infections.
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, signed into law in 1972, dramatically redirected the nation’s water pollution control efforts and set out ambitious national goals, expressed both in terms of discharge controls and of resulting water quality. Originally published in 1982, this title examines the benefits that a reduction in the discharge of water pollutants has for recreational fisherman including an increase in the total availability of fishable natural water bodies and an improvement in the aesthetic quality of the fishing experience. It is a valuable resource for students interested in environmental studies and public policy making.
* Focuses only on elastic lidars and directly related topics. * Evaluates all of the major inversion and analysis methods. * Covers an emerging field that is generating a lot of interest.
Since publication of the First Edition in 1982, Hemostasis and Thrombosis has established itself as the pre-eminent book in the field of coagulation disorders. No other book is as inclusive in scope, with coverage of the field from the standpoint of both basic scientists and clinicians. This comprehensive resource details the essentials of bleeding and thrombotic disorders and the management of patients with these and related problems, and delivers the most up-to-date information on normal biochemistry and function of platelets or endothelial cells, as well as in-depth discussions of the pharmacology of anticoagulant, fibrinolytic, and hemostatic drugs. NEW to the Sixth Edition... • A new team of editors, each a leader in his field, assures you of fresh, authoritative perspectives. • Full color throughout • A companion website that offers full text online and an image bank. • A new introductory section of chapters on basic sciences as related to the field • Entirely new section on Hemostatic and Thrombotic Disorders Associated with Systemic Conditions includes material on pediatric patients, women's health issues, cancer, sickle cell disease, and other groups. • Overview chapters preceding each section address broad topics of general importance. This is the tablet version which does not include access to the supplemental content mentioned in the text.
An understanding of the participation of inhibin and activin in the regulation of the ovary and testis has provided illuminating insights into the physiology and pathology of human gonadal function. Rapid progress has been made in both reproductive physiology and possible applications in clinical practice. In addition, the discovery that both inhibin and activin are placental hormones with altered secretion in disease states, such as pre-eclampsia, has proven to be one of the most exciting aspects of work in this area of human biology. This book comprehensively reviews the current state of knowledge in this field, and identifies areas for future work in both clinical and basic research. Contents: Development of Immunoassays for Inhibin, Activin and Follistatin (L W Evans & N P Groome); Endocrine, Autocrine and Paracrine Actions of Inhibin, Activin and Follistatin on Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (V Padmanabhan & C West); Regulation of Production and Intraovarian Roles of Inhibin, Activin and Follistatin (P G Knight & C Glister); Inhibin, Activin and Follistatin in Human Pregnancy (S Muttukrishna); Follistatin: From Puberty to Menopause (D J Phillips et al.); Inhibin and Activin in the Male (W Ledger); Measurement of Inhibin and Activin: A Diagnostic Tool in Female Reproductive Endocrinology? (G Lockwood); Clinical Utility of Inhibin/Activin Subunits in the Immunopathology of Gonadal Tissue (S Manek); Activin Receptors and Their Mechanism of Action (C M Zimmerman & L S Mathews); Transgenic Mouse Models to Study Inhibin and Activin (T M Pierson & M M Matzuk). Readership: Gynaecologists, biochemists, cell biologists and physiologists.
