La ventilación mecánica durante la anestesia general ha tenido un uso importante durante los últimos 70 años y la frecuencia de uso durante la anestesia sigue en aumento. Hoy en dÃa la utilización predominante de la ventilación mecánica surge por las mismas razones tradicionales: el mantenimiento y la mejora del intercambio de gases, y la protección de las vÃas aéreas. Sin embargo, los avances de la tecnologÃa ventilatoria y el monitoreo de ésta han permitido un uso más frecuente del soporte ventilatorio total o parcial, al mismo tiempo que la seguridad de los pacientes intubados y no intubados ha aumentado. Conforme el uso de la ventilación mecánica se ha vuelto más común ...
El paciente con enfermedad crÃtica padece disfunción de uno o más sistemas mayores (sistema nervioso central, cardiovascular, renal, etc.) que amenazan la vida o la función de un órgano, por lo que la rapidez en la toma de decisiones es un factor que afecta de manera significativa la evolución del individuo. Algunos factores, como la edad, las comorbilidades o el diagnóstico clÃnico inicial, dificultan la toma de decisiones y pueden generar omisiones o acciones poco eficaces. Al pensar en un paciente crÃticamente enfermo viene a la mente un paciente en el área de terapia intensiva, con intubación orotraqueal, conectado a un ventilador, con catéteres, sondas, administración de fÃ...
Housed in the former 16th-century convent of Santo Domingo church, now the Regional Museum of Oaxaca, Mexico, is an important collection of textiles representing the area’s indigenous cultures. The collection includes a wealth of exquisitely made traditional weavings, many that are now considered rare. The Unbroken Thread: Conserving the Textile Traditions of Oaxaca details a joint project of the Getty Conservation Institute and the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) of Mexico to conserve the collection and to document current use of textile traditions in daily life and ceremony. The book contains 145 color photographs of the valuable textiles in the collection, as well as images of local weavers and project participants at work. Subjects include anthropological research, ancient and present-day weaving techniques, analyses of natural dyestuffs, and discussions of the ethical and practical considerations involved in working in Latin America to conserve the materials and practices of living cultures.
In Portrait of a Young Painter, the distinguished historian Mary Kay Vaughan adopts a biographical approach to understanding the culture surrounding the Mexico City youth rebellion of the 1960s. Her chronicle of the life of painter Pepe Zúñiga counters a literature that portrays post-1940 Mexican history as a series of uprisings against state repression, injustice, and social neglect that culminated in the student protests of 1968. Rendering Zúñiga's coming of age on the margins of formal politics, Vaughan depicts midcentury Mexico City as a culture of growing prosperity, state largesse, and a vibrant, transnationally-informed public life that produced a multifaceted youth movement brimming with creativity and criticism of convention. In an analysis encompassing the mass media, schools, politics, family, sexuality, neighborhoods, and friendships, she subtly invokes theories of discourse, phenomenology, and affect to examine the formation of Zúñiga's persona in the decades leading up to 1968. By discussing the influences that shaped his worldview, she historicizes the process of subject formation and shows how doing so offers new perspectives on the events of 1968.

'A landmark contribution to humanity's understanding of itself' The New York Times Why can it sometimes feel as though half the population is living in a different moral universe? Why do ideas such as 'fairness' and 'freedom' mean such different things to different people? Why is it so hard to see things from another viewpoint? Why do we come to blows over politics and religion? Jonathan Haidt reveals that we often find it hard to get along because our minds are hardwired to be moralistic, judgemental and self-righteous. He explores how morality evolved to enable us to form communities, and how moral values are not just about justice and equality - for some people authority, sanctity or loyalty matter more. Morality binds and blinds, but, using his own research, Haidt proves it is possible to liberate ourselves from the disputes that divide good people.
A coiffed and blustery pig has shoved his way into the White House! A cleverly worded and illustrated picture book, this is the adult parody of the beloved children’s cautionary tale, If You Give a Pig a Pancake. Watch in dismay as the presidential pig gets into trouble, binges on too much Fox News and fast food, and cavalierly threatens national security. If You Give a Pig the White House both lovingly caricatures the original children's book series and shows just what can happen when a greedy anti-hero tracks his hooves all over America.
