Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1978 Congress mandated that on-duty education programs be related to soldiers' training and Military Occupational Specialty needs. As part of the response to this mandate, the Army was to develop a job-related Army literacy program. The program was to be a functional Basic Skills Education Program (BSEP) designed for soldiers at their permanent duty stations. The new BSEP II program was to provide instruction in reading, writing, speaking, listening, and computing skills needed for them to perform military duties through the E-5 level. The U.S. Army Research Institute (ARI) procured the contractual services of McFann, Gray and Associates (MGA) to develop an appropriate curriculum and course management system. The course was to be specifically designed for soldiers who tested below a 9.0 grade level on the Tests of Adult Basic Education (TABE). The primary objective was to bring soldiers up to the 9.0 level on all subtests of the TABE using a course management plan that would minimize the distractions that existing BSEP II programs were felt to have on effective accomplishment of unit training objectives. The curriculum was developed and field tested during the period September 1981 to September 1983. The MGA curriculum was divided into three subject areas or courses: Reading, Language, and Mathematics, Each course was divided into instructional units, or modules.

Offering an integrative approach to the science and clinical practice of pediatric hepatology, this is the definitive reference text for improved diagnosis and treatment strategies. In the new edition of this authoritative text, chapters have been thoroughly revised in line with major advances in the field, such as recognizing the increased frequency of fatty liver disease, and how genetic testing has the potential to establish earlier diagnoses for a variety of diseases. Disorders covered include cholestasis, metabolic disorders and hepatitis, with their presentation across the spectrum of infancy, childhood and adolescence discussed. The indications and surgical aspects of liver transplant are explained and post-transplant care is described in detail. This is a valuable resource for pediatricians, hepatologists, gastroenterologists and all clinicians involved in the care of children with liver diseases.
