Sudden cardiac death represents a highly heterogeneous group of cardiovascular disorders. While some may initially think of sudden death as primarily an arrhythmogenic event, this actually represents the minority of cases of sudden cardiac death. In the vast majority of cases, there is an underlying anatomic disorder of the cardiovascular system responsible for the ultimate hemodynamic collapse known as sudden cardiac death. This book will provide an atlas type review of ischemic and non-ischemic etiologies of sudden cardiac death. Beyond the atlas, however, will be a "clinical pathologic correlation" for each described disorder providing practicing clinicians with practical information to facilitate proper diagnosis and treatment. While an increasing array of noninvasive diagnostic tools continue to develop, the sad fact remains that many of the physicians and operators of these new diagnostic modalities have never actually seen specimens which demonstrate the fundamental pathologic abnormalities. This ability to see first hand the underlying pathology creates an opportunity to advance the science and enhance ones understanding of these disease processes. There is not a comprehensive text on this subject on the market today which provides clinical and patholigical material in such a comprehensive manner.

Like the Internet itself, interest in computing (both local and distant) has grown exponentially. The rapidly changing role of the Internet has resulted in three very different editions of The Internet for Physicians. The first edition attempted to introduce the concept of information transfer and communication and point the way toward a tool of the future. The second edition attempted to assuage trepidation in the use of this emerging tool and suggest the why and wherefore of being connected. The needs that drove those goals have almost completely disappeared. As a result, the bulk of this edition is more focused on the medical aspect of the Internet and its use, and less on the nuts and bolts of connecting and communication through the Web. It has been revamped, reorganized, and expanded to include 30% more content and 90 new illustrations. New to the third edition is an entire section dedicated to Medicine and the Web, with chapters discussing patient education and information, what your patients are seeing on the web, finding quality resources, including clinical-trial and evidence-based medicine sites, how to search and use Pun Med, telemedicine, continuing medical education, medical literature and informatics, applications of on-line journals and submissions, and much more.

Leggere le decorazioni è una piccola e agile guida al mondo dei motivi decorativi dei tessuti stampati e jacquard. Narra la storia del design tessile mettendo in luce come alcuni motivi siano caratteristici di una determinata zona e cultura, mentre altri siano comuni a diverse parti del mondo. Leggere le decorazioni si apre con un'introduzione alla natura delle decorazioni per poi proseguire con un'ampia selezione di esempi. I capitoli si suddividono per genere: motivi stilizzati, geometrici, astratti e descrittivi; poi per tema; mondo naturale, griglie, strisce e figure umane. I diversi tipi poi sono ulteriormente divisi per cronologia, cultura o motivo valutando le diverse tecniche, colori e geometrie. Autorevole, ma al contempo accessibile, Leggere le decorazioni è imprescindibile per chiunque sia mai stato colpito dai ghirigori di un broccato, dalle simmetrie di un damasco o dagli effetti caleidoscopici di una stampa Art Deco. Questo libro esplora le caratteristiche del design tessile dai primi esempi reperibili alle moderne realizzazioni contemporanee. È comunque un'introduzione allo studio dei motivi decorativi e offre oltre 500 motivi esempi presi al Victoria & Albert Museum di Londra. Clive Edwards ha studiato storia del design al Royal College of Art e Victoria & Albert Museum. Scrittore e curatore ha pubblicato varie monografie sul textile design.
