Despite often taken as a simple procedure, techniques on tracheostomy have evolved considerably on the last few years. Consequently, new technical variations and indications for different purposes are being developed and proposed. The current book is proposed to serve as a comprehensive guide exclusively devoted to tracheostomy, discussing its most important details, variations and indications. Here the reader will find a broad discussion ranging from the most basic pre-clinical aspects to post-surgical procedures and complications. Great emphasis is placed on key topics such as the oncologic patient, variations of the technique, and tracheostomy in the intensive care unit, among others. Additionally, some issues that are not commonly discussed in regular textbooks, like tracheostomy in child and in great obese, are also included. With a wealth of photos, illustrations and tables, Tracheostomy – A Surgical Guide provides the material necessary to support a safe and effective surgical intervention in different populations and surgical contexts, with the hope that it will result in improved care for patients who underwent tracheostomy.
This book provides an in-depth overview on the manifold functions of fungal extracellular vesicles (EV) which span from cell-to-cell communication, pathogenicity and stimulation of host’s immunity to export of hundreds of biomolecules. The book summarizes the present knowledge on the impact of extracellular vesicles on fungal biology. Extracellular vesicles participate in fundamental biological processes in all living cells but only during the last 15 years the production and functions of EVs were identified and studied in fungal species too. Up to date more than 50 independent studies have shown that extracellular vesicles are produced by at least 20 fungal species. The book addresses researchers and advanced students in Microbiology, Mycology and Biotechnology.
This book is a pioneer attempt to bring forward the first synthesis on the most diverse and threatened mountain top vegetation of South America, the rupestrian grasslands. It brings to light the state of the art information on this ecosystem geology, soil formation and distribution, environmental filters that lead to biodiversity, species interactions and their fine tuned adaptations to survive the harsh mountain environment. The human dimensions of the rupestrian grassland are also addressed, including the anthropogenic threats that may irreversibly impact biodiversity and ecosystem services. The book also highlights the ongoing studies on ecological restoration and first attempt to model the impacts of climate change on its speciose biota.

"The Pediatric Cardiac Postoperative Handbook is a practical postoperative manual. It comprises evidence-based literature which also carries daily experience from one of the major centers in pediatric cardiac critical care of Säao Paulo and Latin America. BP Hospital / Beneficãencia Portuguesa of Säao Paulo receives many patients from all over Brazil and performs nearly 400 pediatric cardiac surgeries per year. This publication is destined to attending physicians, fellows, residents, medical students and all multidisciplinary teams involved in pediatric cardiac postoperative care. Discussion is focused on early pediatric cardiac postoperative care. From the surgery to patient's transference to the ward, which involve drugs, nutrition, ventilation, and frequent complications. We also enhance the most recent advances in the field and, in spite of the limitation to summarize this complex topic, we have tried to be brief and concise. We hope this manual may fulfill the necessities of postoperative care providers and improve the care and outcomes of our patients"--
A temática atuação docente em um ambiente de reclusão não é uma tarefa simples, pois, além de envolver a realidade escolar, envolve também um ambiente de segurança e todas as suas particularidades. Objetiva-se analisar por meio das histórias de vida-formação-docência os sentidos das experiências atribuídas por professoras que atuam em um ambiente socioeducativo de internação provisória com adolescentes/jovens que se encontram acautelados. Este livro se torna uma espécie de porta-voz das narrativas das professoras que atuam em um ambiente socioeducativo, as quais, ao tomarem o poder da palavra, tornam-se participantes, autoras e protagonistas de suas próprias histórias.
