Bellegarde and Marc N. Potenza -- Genetic influences on addiction : alcoholism as an exemplar / James MacKillop, John E. McGeary, and Lara A. Ray -- Addiction as a breakdown in the machinery of decision making / A. David Redish -- Economic models of pathological gambling / Don Ross -- Addiction : a latent property of the dynamics of choice / Gene M. Heyman -- Addiction and altruism / Howard Rachlin -- The core process in addictions and other impulses : hyperbolic discounting versus conditioning and cognitive framing / George Ainslie -- Measuring dispositions to bundle choices / David Spurrett and Ben Murrell -- Neural recruitment during self-control of smoking : a pilot fMRI study / John R. Monterosso ... [et al.] -- Anticipatory processing as a transdisciplinary bridge in addiction / Mark S. Goldman ... [et al.] -- Impulsivity and its association with treatment development for pathological gambling and substance use disorders / Nancy M. Petry -- Medical models of addiction / Harold Kincaid and Jacqueline A. Sullivan -- Addiction and the diagnostic criteria for pathological gambling / Neil Manson -- Irrational action and addiction / Timothy Schroeder -- Defining addiction and identifying the public interest in liberal democracies / Peter Collins. "The image of the addict in popular culture combines victimhood and moral failure; we sympathize with addicts in films and novels because of their suffering and their hard-won knowledge. And yet actual scientific knowledge about addiction tends to undermine this cultural construct. In What Is Addiction? leading addiction researchers from neuroscience, psychology, genetics, philosophy, economics, and other fields survey the latest findings in addiction science. They discuss such questions as whether addiction is one kind of condition, or several; if addiction is neurophysiological, psychological, or social, or incorporates aspects of all of these; to what extent addicts are responsible for their problems, and how this affects health and regulatory policies; and whether addiction is determined by inheritance or environment or both. The chapter authors discuss the possibility of a unifying basis for different addictions (considering both substance addiction and pathological gambling), offering both neurally and neuroscientifically grounded accounts as well as discussions of the social context of addiction. There can be no definitive answer yet to the question posed by the title of this book; but these essays demonstrate an advance over the simplistic conception embedded in popular culture. "--Jacket.

Muscle energy technique : cervical, thoracic and ribs /

Ockler, Tom.


CIRC # 520 Current edition as of July 2018. Muscle Energy Technique is one of the most effective and gentle manual techniques for the correction of somatic dysfunction. MET uses accurate assessment techniques\to discover if a joint is stuck out of alignment. Then the practitioner positions the patient and asks for gentle resistance in such a way that the joint is brought back into alignment, and the tight muscle relaxed. This technique can be incorporated easily into any treatment protocol, and is an excellent addition to any practice. \\This beautifully produced DVD covers detailed techniques for the neck, general shoulder techniques, and specific treatments for the thoracic vertebrae and the ribs. This includes techniques for balancing the occiput on the atlas, the atlas on the axis, and other techniques for the rest of the cervical vertebrae. Also, Tom shows techniques to assess and re-align each thoracic vertebrae, and how to correct rib dysfunctions such as ribs that are stuck in inhalation, exhilation, and compressed ribs. On the muscular side, this DVD shows many releases for the neck/shoulder region that can be done before the joints are addressed. If you want to know how to assess each part of the body and then perform gentle techniques to correct the dysfunction, this dvd is for you!

The backwash of war : an extraordinary American nurse in World War I /

Intro; Contents; Acknowledgments; Introduction; Biography; Chronology; The Backwash of War: The Human Wreckage of the Battlefield as Witnessed by an American Hospital Nurse; Introduction to 1916 Edition; Introduction to 1934 Edition; Heroes; La Patrie Reconnaissante; The Hole in the Hedge; Alone; A Belgian Civilian; The Interval; Women and Wives; Pour la Patrie; Locomotor Ataxia; A Surgical Triumph; At the Telephone; A Citation; An Incident; Esmeralda; War Essays by Ellen N. La Motte; An American Nurse in Paris; Under Shell-Fire at Dunkirk; A Joy Ride. As World War I advanced into a third deadly year, an American woman named Ellen N. La Motte published a collection of stories about her experience as a war nurse. Deemed damaging to morale, The Backwash of War was immediately banned in both England and France and later censored in wartime America. At once deeply unsettling and darkly humorous, this compelling book presents a unique view of the destruction wrought by war to the human body and spirit. Long neglected, it is an astounding book by an extraordinary woman and merits a place among major works of WWI literature.

This books provides content that arms clinicians with the core knowledge and competencies necessary to be effective informatics leaders in health care organizations. The content is drawn from the areas recognized by the American Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) as necessary to prepare physicians to become Board Certified in Clinical Informatics. Clinical informaticians transform health care by analyzing, designing, selecting, implementing, managing, and evaluating information and communication technologies (ICT) that enhance individual and population health outcomes, improve patient care processes, and strengthen the clinician-patient relationship. As the specialty grows, the content in this book covers areas useful to nurses, pharmacists, and information science graduate students in clinical/health informatics programs. These core competencies for clinical informatics are needed by all those who lead and manage ICT in health organizations, and there are likely to be future professional certifications that require the content in this text.?

Includes index. Basic principles of echocardiography -- Transthoracic echocardiography, Standard windows and echocardiographic views, appropriateness criteria, and clinical implications -- Transesophageal echocardiography Standard windows and echocardiographic views, appropriateness criteria, and clinical implications -- Sedation in Transesophageal echocardiography -- Basic of 3D echocardiography, clinical use in daily practice -- Basic principles of fetal echocardiography -- Handheld echocardiography and Pocket-size imaging devices -- Pitfalls and artefacts -- Contrast Echocardiography -- Chamber quantification -- Echocardiography evaluation of LV systolic function, systolic dysfunction and ventricular dyssynchrony -- Echocardiographic assessment of Myocardial Mechanics: Velocity, Strain, Strain rate ant Torsion -- Echocardiographic evaluation of the diastolic function and dysfunction -- Echocardiographic evaluation of the right heart -- How to assess the left and right atria in clinical practice -- Use of echocardiography in hypertension -- Echocardiographic assessment of native valvular heart disease -- Echocardiographic assessment of prosthetic valves -- Infective Endocarditis -- Pericardial disease -- Dilated cardiomyopathy and Myocarditis -- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathies -- Restrictive cardiomyopathies -- Unclassified cardiomyopathies (ARVC, LVNC) -- Echocardiography in coronary artery disease -- Echocardiographic assessment of Coronary Blood Flow -- Stress echocardiography -- Echocardiography evaluation of congenital heart disease -- Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography -- The Role of Echocardiography in Mitral Valve Repair -- Intraprocedural transesophageal echocardiography -- Echocardiography in the critical care -- Echocardiography and Pulmonary Hypertension -- Heart transplantation -- Echocardiography in Patients With Ventricular Assist Devices -- Cardiac masses and tumors -- Cardiac source of emboli -- Disease of the aorta -- Role of echocardiography in arrhythmia -- Echocardiography in systemic diseases -- Echocardiography End-Stage Renal Disease -- Echocardiography in Pregnancy -- Echocardiography in Trauma -- Aging changes in Echocardiography -- Echocardiography in Obesity -- Normal values and Useful formulas in echocardiography. This volume is a step-by-step educational textbook covering basic to advanced echocardiography that is helpful to all residents, fellows and clinicians in cardiology, internal medicine, cardiac surgery, interventional cardiology and pediatric cardiology. It is designed to rationalise and instruct readers on the rapid development in echocardiographic techniques, including real-time three-dimensional echocardiography, strain/strain rate imaging, and speckle tracking, which have greatly expanded the capabilities of cardiac imaging while overshadowing the importance of the basics of echocardiography. Case-Based Textbook of Echocardiography offers a comprehensive review of echocardiography from basic to advanced, including practical points from recently published ASE/EACVI guidelines and explanatory movies and figures. It will be of great interest for all trainee cardiologists and provide experienced echocardiographers with a thorough reference on the topic.
