Clinical Skills: An introduction for nursing and healthcare 2nd Edition

Clinical Skills: an introduction for nursing and healthcare is a comprehensive learning resource for student nurses.

Printed in full color throughout, this textbook covers all the key clinical skills required for effective and efficient practice. The book maps the development of the student nurse in relation to clinical skill acquisition, focusing not only on the dexterity aspects, but also on the underpinning theory and the attitudinal aspects of skill delivery.

Using a scenario-based approach, this book relates skills to ‘real’ people and situations. In addition to providing step-by-step instruction on how to perform clinical skills, it asks the students to reflect and consider how these skills and related principles may be transferred to other situations and contexts. Above all, the authors are offering students a friendly, interactive and visual approach to skills acquisition.

Written by an experienced team of clinical skills educators at the University of Central Lancashire in the UK, Clinical Skills provides students and lecturers with:
• up-to-date theory and evidence-based practice
• scenarios and case studies
• step-by-step clinical skills guidance
• activities to encourage reflection
• exercises for self-assessment and skills practice
• a glossary, references and further reading.

Hypoxia: Translation in Progress (Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology) 1st ed

[amazon_link asins=’1489976760′ template=’ProductAd’ store=’aishabano-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’4b0e4dfd-5a1d-11e8-a83a-bf2635983144′]

The latest in a series of books from the International Hypoxia Symposia, this volume spans reviews on key topics in hypoxia, and abstracts from poster and oral presentations. The biannual International Hypoxia Symposia are dedicated to hosting the best basic scientific and clinical minds to focus on the integrative and translational biology of hypoxia. Long before ‘translational medicine’ was a catchphrase, the founders of the International Hypoxia Symposia brought together basic scientists, clinicians and physiologists to live, eat, ski, innovate and collaborate in the Canadian Rockies.

This collection of reviews and abstracts is divided into six sections, each covering new and important work relevant to a broad range of researchers interested in how humans adjust to hypoxia, whether on the top of Mt. Everest or in the pulmonary or cardiology clinic at low altitude. The sections include:

  • Epigenetic Variations in Hypoxia
    High Altitude Adaptation
  • Hypoxia and Sleep
  • Hypoxia and the Brain
  • Molecular Oxygen Sensing
  • Physiological Responses to Hypoxia

Multiple Choice Questions in Pain Management 1st ed. 2018 Edition

[amazon_link asins=’3319569155′ template=’ProductAd’ store=’aishabano-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’c01fd623-554b-11e8-8b0e-bbefc3432f78′]

This book presents current clinical knowledge relating to key topics in acute and chronic pain in a multiple choice question (MCQ) format. Individual chapters are devoted to subjects such as the anatomy of pain pathways, pain processing, evaluation of pain, different pain syndromes and pain involving different regions of the body, pharmacologic and physical pain management, neural blockade, and special procedures. Each of the MCQs has four or five answer options in true/false format, and the answers are discussed in detail with provision of suitable references whenever appropriate. Multiple Choice Questions in Pain Management will be especially valuable for those who are sitting anesthesia board exams anywhere in the world. It will, for example, meet the needs of candidates for the FRCA examination (in which 20–25% of MCQs relate to pain management) or the FFPMRCA examination (Fellowship of the Faculty of Pain Medicine of the Royal College of Anaesthetists). In addition, the book will be useful for pain fellows and for all clinicians who are seeking to improve their knowledge of pain management.

Feeling Pain and Being in Pain (MIT Press) second edition Edition

[amazon_link asins=’0262517329′ template=’ProductAd’ store=’aishabano-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’9aafc811-5168-11e8-a521-05c89a2fb919′]

An examination of the two most radical dissociation syndromes of the human pain experience―pain without painfulness and painfulness without pain―and what they reveal about the complex nature of pain and its sensory, cognitive, and behavioral components.

In Feeling Pain and Being in Pain, Nikola Grahek examines two of the most radical dissociation syndromes to be found in human pain experience: pain without painfulness and painfulness without pain. Grahek shows that these two syndromes―the complete dissociation of the sensory dimension of pain from its affective, cognitive, and behavioral components, and its opposite, the dissociation of pain’s affective components from its sensory-discriminative components (inconceivable to most of us but documented by ample clinical evidence)―have much to teach us about the true nature and structure of human pain experience.

Grahek explains the crucial distinction between feeling pain and being in pain, defending it on both conceptual and empirical grounds. He argues that the two dissociative syndromes reveal the complexity of the human pain experience: its major components, the role they play in overall pain experience, the way they work together, and the basic neural structures and mechanisms that subserve them.

Feeling Pain and Being in Pain does not offer another philosophical theory of pain that conclusively supports or definitively refutes either subjectivist or objectivist assumptions in the philosophy of mind. Instead, Grahek calls for a less doctrinaire and more balanced approach to the study of mind–brain phenomena.

Metal Allergy: From Dermatitis to Implant and Device Failure 1st ed. 2018 Edition

[amazon_link asins=’3319585029′ template=’ProductAd’ store=’aishabano-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’a13d8008-4fe4-11e8-b62c-a58b6826f5ab’]

This volume has been compiled in response to the ongoing revolution in our understanding of metal contact allergy, and the ensuing challenge this has created for clinicians and others to synthesize large amounts of sometimes contradictory data. It opens by providing a comprehensive overview of the use and regulation of metals in our society, metal properties, and available testing methodologies. Common and uncommon metal allergens and sources of exposure are then reviewed in depth, and detailed sections are devoted to hypersensitivity to metal implants (which may be associated with device failure and/or dermatitis), metal allergy in select patient populations, and less frequently encountered manifestations of metal allergy.

The prevalence of metal allergy in the general population is high: up to 17% of people are allergic to nickel, and 1–3% to cobalt and chromium. Environmental sources of metal exposure include jewelry, clothing, electronic devices, coins, leather, diet, and occupational exposure. As metals are ubiquitous, this book will be an indispensable reference text for a wide range of clinicians and investigators, meeting the needs of all who are interested in metal allergy and its diagnosis and management.
