Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery: State of the art and current challenges
As a result of the significant progress in the development of emerging technologies and improved surgical techniques in the cardiovascular field, Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS) has undergone a rapid evolution over the past two decades. Currently, nearly half of all cardiac surgeries are performed through small skin incisions (minithoracotomy and ministernotomy), or involve other less-invasive approaches (no involvement of cardiopulmonary bypass, valve-sparing operations, etc.). This trend continues to evolve, notably with the development of increasingly efficient endoscopic, robotic and transcatheter procedures.

Forget Me Not: The Neuroethical Case Against Memory Manipulation
The first philosophical monograph on the ethics of memory manipulation (MM), "Forget Me Not: The Neuroethical Case Against Memory Manipulation" contends that any attempt to directly and intentionally erase episodic memories poses a grave threat to the human condition that cannot be justified within a normative moral calculus. Grounding its thesis in four evidential effects – namely, (i) MM disintegrates autobiographical memory, (ii) the disintegration of autobiographical memory degenerates emotional rationality, (iii) the degeneration of emotional rationality decays narrative identity, and (iv) the decay of narrative identity disables one to seek, identify, and act on the good – DePergola argues that MM cannot be justified as a morally licit practice insofar as it disables one to seek, identify, and act on the good. A landmark achievement in the field of neuroethics, this book is a welcome addition to both the scholarly and professional community in philosophical and clinical bioethics.
Zukunftsdenken
Mit Hilfe des Zukunftsdenkens werden die Weichen für das persönliche Berufs-, Familien- und Freizeitleben vorausplanend und vorsorgend gestellt, technische, ökonomische, ökologische und soziale Innovationen entworfen sowie die strategischen Entscheidungen in der Wirtschaft und der Politik vorbereitet. Wie hat sich dieses prospektive Denken historisch entwickelt? Was sind die wichtigsten Grundformen der Vorausschau? Wie lässt sich die Fähigkeit des Zukunftsdenkens psychologisch erklären? Die wissenschaftlich fundierten und verständlich formulierten Antworten auf diese Fragen finden sich im vorliegenden Buch.
Love and Selfhood
After years of neurohype and a neuroskeptic backlash, this book provides a systematic analysis of the contributions to self-understanding cognitive neuroscience (CNS) and philosophy can make. The stories of five people in search of self-understanding serve as touchstone throughout the book. Their identities are tied up with what they love. The book provides in-depth analyses of CNS of love and CNS of self-reflection. It critically discusses philosophers who focus on the relation between love, self-understanding and selfhood, such as Harry Frankfurt, Susan Wolf, Charles Taylor and Søren Kierkegaard. It also builds an argument about CNS’ contributions to self-understanding more broadly, and how different these are from philosophy’s contributions. The book develops conceptual review as a philosophical method for improving the validity and comparability of CNS studies. It integrates CNS insights into its philosophical view on love and selfhood where applicable. This book thus argues and exemplifies that philosophy and CNS can work together.
