This book is a complete guide to performing and interpreting an echocardiogram. 56 chapters describe both basic and advanced techniques for diagnosing different heart disorders. The second edition has been fully revised to provide clinicians with the latest developments and techniques in the field. Seven new chapters have been added to this edition covering echocardiography and artificial intelligence, hypertension, arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, Kawasaki disease, cardio-oncology, diabetes mellitus, and foetal echo. Dedicated chapters emphasise the role of echo in surgical procedures, and explore its use with electrophysiology – in patients with pacemakers and those undergoing cardiac resynchronisation therapy. The book is highly illustrated with many 2D and 3D echo images helping explain the descriptive text for each topic. The previous edition (9789352700929) published in 2017.

Download or read book Blood Oil and the Axis written by John Broich and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An “almost absurdly colorful” history of the WWII battle for the Levant: “In places . . . the material is like Casablanca meets The English Patient” (The Wall Street Journal). In the spring of 1941, the Allied forces had one last hope: that the Axis would run through its fuel supply. In Blood, Oil and the Axis, historian John Broich tells the vital story of Iraq and the Levant during this most pivotal time of the war. Four Iraqi generals staged a pro-German coup in Iraq, they established military cooperation between the Axis and the Middle East. The Allies responded with an improvised and unlikely coalition: Palestinian and Jordanian Arabs, Australians, American and British soldiers, Free French Foreign Legionnaires, and Jewish Palestinians. All shared a common desire to quash the formation of an Axis state in the region. Taking readers from a bombed-out Fallujah, to Baghdad, to Damascus, this definitive chronicle features numerous memorable figures, including Jack Hasey, a young American who fought with the Free French Foreign Legion; Freya Stark, a famous travel-writer-turned-government-agent; and even Roald Dahl, a young Royal Air Force recruit and future author of beloved children’s books.
Download or read book Understanding Physiology with Ultrasound written by L. Britt Wilson and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will be of interest to anyone who wants to use ultrasound to understand human physiology both in the clinical setting and the classroom. Tremendous advances in ultrasound technology have resulted in portable ultrasound systems that are easy to use, produce excellent images, and are affordable with quality hand-held and laptop-sized systems costing between $2K and $20K. These systems are now being used at the patient bedside or point of care by almost all medical and surgical specialities from primary care to orthopaedic surgery. These portable systems, especially the hand-held devices, are now being called the stethoscopes of the 21st century and will likely be used by many that are presently using stethoscopes including physicians, nurses, physician assistants, medics and other health professionals. Ultrasound began to be used in medical student education in the 1990s and is steadily becoming a common teaching tool for courses like anatomy and physiology. It is a visual, highly interactive learning tool that bridges the basic and clinical sciences and allows the learner to observe physiology principles in a living model. Ultrasound is also being used to teach other health professions students as well as undergraduate college students and high school students. Despite this interest there are no books available that provide an introduction to ultrasound and how it can be used to enhance the teaching of physiology. This e-book will do just that as well as offer “How to Scan” videos with example laboratory exercises to further engage learners.
Download or read book An Atlas of Mitral Valve Imaging written by Milind Desai and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-06-09 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Valvular heart medicine revolves around the need to accurately identify locations of pathological structures and/or the interventional tools needed to manage that pathology. The imaging of the valves is developing at an enormous pace and the clinician must be aware of the advantages of each modality and how it compares to the others available. There is a need for a practical, clinical atlas designed to work the reader through cases and assessing the gold standard choices available to physicians. This atlas will represent the full multimodality imaging decisions needed when assessing mitral valvular disorders. Within this atlas the authors will be presenting a comprehensive pictorial overview of the highly complex pathology/treatment techniques and management in this diverse group of patients with varied mitral valvular pathologies. Imaging modalities move fast representing challenge to practitioners. This atlas will enable them to learn the choices available and be well versed in techniques. It will therefore be essential reading for all cardiac imagers, surgeons, interventionalists, anesthetists and trainees in these disciplines.
