Pulmonary rehabilitation programmes are now a fundamental part of the clinical management of patients with chronic respiratory diseases. This comprehensive reference book places pulmonary rehabilitation within the wider framework of respiratory disease, and the health burden that this now poses worldwide. Part one of the book examines the evidence supporting the use of pulmonary rehabilitation programmes, new trends and socio-economic implications, and the scientific bases of techniques used. In part two, the reader is given important guidance on assessing patients for rehabilitation and what the cost implications are for patients and the health care system. The last part of the book provides a general overview and discusses specific problems of delivering pulmonary rehabilitation. Throughout the book, contributions drawn from a broad range of countries compare and contrast practice around the world where differences have developed, and discuss the clinical evidence that supports current thinking.
A one-night stand too compelling to walk away from ensnares two women in a high-stakes cat-and-mouse game that begins in the courtroom and ends in a dark labyrinth of danger and desire. Rhianna Lamb has just spent six months creating a new identity for herself to escape Werner Brigham, the man who stalked and assaulted her. When she arrives in the courtroom to take the witness stand against him, she is stunned to find herself staring at the woman she’s having a fling with—none other than Julia Valiant, Brigham's hotshot defense attorney. Jules is equally shocked. Brought into the Brigham trial at the eleventh hour, she had no idea the “Kate” she’s been seeing was also the plaintiff. For many reasons she has to win this case, but she also wants to win Rhianna. Her chances for that don't look good after she brutally cross-examines Rhianna and demolishes the prosecution's case. Werner Brigham is acquitted, and worse still, seems to think he can return to his old habits, this time with deadly intent. A new game is in play, one Jules has to win. But even if she does, will Rhianna ever forgive her?

By the 1990s, it became clear to many in the nursing community that certification for respiratory nursing practice was desirable, even necessary, but that this could not take place without a carefully designed CORE Curriculum. This book, nearly a decade in the making, sets out such a curriculum. Put together by an expert team of respiratory nurse practitioners, the book includes 42 chapters, each blindly peer reviewed by at least 3 people for clinical content and timeliness. The book will therefore be essential for all nurses seeking the expertise needed to care for persons with respiratory disease or compromised function. Respiratory Nursing should be read by all respiratory and intensive care specialists, related health care professionals, and teachers and students in graduate and undergraduate nursing programs.
