Transposition of the Great Arteries 25 years after Rashkind Balloon Septostomy
This book gives a complete and up-to-date overview of current medical knowledge about the pre- and postnatal diagnosis, medical and surgical treatment, and postoperative evaluation of transposition of the great arteries. It also gives a historical review of the most important developments in pediatric cardiology over the past 25 years, since Dr. Rashkind created an atrial septal defect to treat complete transposition of the great arteries, and dramatically changed the natural course of this cyanotic heart defect. Also covered are efforts for prenatal echocardiographic diagnosis and neonatal surgical repair as attempts to further reduce the present, already low neonatal mortality.
Pediatric Cardiology
At a significant point in the life of an individual or an organization, it is normal that one reminisces and savors the qualities of the past.

Improving Health Service Delivery in Developing Countries
Reliable information on how health service strategies affect the poor is in short supply. In an attempt to redress the imbalance, 'Improving Health Service Delivery in Developing Countries' presents evidence on strategies for strengthening health service delivery, based on systematic reviews of the literature, quantitative and qualitative analyses of existing data, and seven country case studies. The authors also explore how changes in coverage of different health services affect each other on the national level. Finally, the authors explain why setting international targets for health services has been not been successful and offer an alternative approach based on a specific country's experience.The book's findings are clear and hopeful: There are many ways to improve health services. Measuring change and using information to guide decisions and inform stakeholders are critically important for successful implementation. Asking difficult questions, using information intelligently, and involving key stakeholders and institutions are central to the "learning and doing" practices that underlie successful health service delivery.
