Ojo
El objetivo de este libro es ofrecer un espacio de reflexión y posibles respuestas a fenómenos relacionados con la convergencia entre el ojo y la medicina. Lo anterior se realiza mediante el diálogo entre estudiantes y profesionales con diferentes campos y niveles de formación, con el objeto de lograr un saber transdisciplinar del ojo, un órgano dotado de variedad de metáforas, significados y funcionalidades. El presente texto recopila a manera de working papers y apuntes de sesión el resultado de un viaje por el ojo humano, un viaje que atraviesa el arte, la medicina, la literatura y la espiritualidad. Esperamos lo disfrute y que tenga la luminosidad precisa para el asombro.
Introducción al código sepsis
La sepsis es una condición compleja que se da por una respuesta inflamatoria sistémica frente a un agente infeccioso que amenaza la vida del paciente por compromiso orgánico; es considerada como uno de los mayores problemas en salud pública, debido a su alta incidencia, de aproximadamente 48 millones de casos al año, y elevada mortalidad, cercana a 1 de cada 4 casos en países desarrollados. Se estima que la mortalidad es mayor en países en desarrollo, aproximadamente 11 millones (19.7 %) alrededor del mundo, con tasas promedio del 52.8 % en pacientes con shock séptico. En nuestra región, estudios realizados en Brasil reflejan una mortalidad de hasta el 57 %, y en Colombia se encuent...
Anti-Corruption Strategies in Fragile States
Aid agencies increasingly consider anti-corruption activities important for economic development and poverty reduction in developing countries. In the first major comparative study of work by the World Bank, the European Commission and the UNDP to help governments in fragile states counter corruption, Jesper Johnsøn finds significant variance in strategic direction and common failures in implementation.

Litigating Health Rights
The last fifteen years have seen a tremendous growth in the number of health rights cases focusing on issues such as access to health services and essential medications. This volume examines the potential of litigation as a strategy to advance the right to health by holding governments accountable for these obligations. It includes case studies from Costa Rica, South Africa, India, Brazil, Argentina and Colombia, as well as chapters that address cross-cutting themes. The authors analyze what types of services and interventions have been the subject of successful litigation and what remedies have been ordered by courts. Different chapters address the systemic impact of health litigation efforts, taking into account who benefits both directly and indirectly—and what the overall impacts on health equity are.
Plant Nutrient Acquisition
New research reveals that plants actively acquire nutrients; the acquisition process is not a passive one in which plants simply wait for dissolved nutrients to come closer to their roots. In fact plants play a far more active role than once was understood to be possible in nutrient acquisition and in adaptation to problem soils. This book presents an excellent overview and summary of new concepts of plant nutrient acquisition mechanisms, and sets forth their practical implications in crop production. The scope is wide ranging, from biochemical, molecular, and genetic analysis of nutrient acquisition to global nutritional problems. Especially noteworthy are the sections on the cell apoplast, phosphorus-solubilizing organisms, and direct uptake of macro-organic molecules. With contributions by leading scientists worldwide, the book provides an invaluable resource for researchers in plant and environmental sciences and in agronomy and other branches of agriculture.

Mycorrhizal Symbiosis
In nature, the roots of most plants are colonized by symbiotic fungi to form mycorrhiza, which play a critical role in the capture of nutrients from the soil, and therefore in plant nutrition. Thirteen years have passed since the publication of the First Edition of Mycorrhizal Symbiosis, the book that has been generally acclaimed as the most definitive work on this fascinating topic. The Second Edition co-authored by Professor Sally Smith and Professor David Read has been completely rewritten to cover the significant advances in our understanding of this field.Key Features* Separate accounts of major mycorrhizal types, highlighting structure, development, physiology and ecology* Integrative treatment, covering nutrient transport, roles of mycorrhizas in ecology, applications in man-made environments, and interactions with pollutants* In depth treatment of evolutionary and developmental aspects, plus closer examination of external mycelium, and transport processes* Appreciation of diversity of form and function within major mycorrhizal types, and its importance in ecosystems
The Island Churches of the South Pacific
"Out of deep and wider personal experience of the Pacific Island churches, as well as a mastery of the documentary sources, Charles Forman has produced a very valuable and interesting book. The Pacific Basin assumes an increasingly central place in world history. The scattered Christian communities of that ocean are entering vigorously into worldwide ecumenical relationships. It is increasingly important to understand these churches and their potential contribution. Much of the popular mythology, not to say demonology, of missionary Christianity is linked with these Pacific Islands. This book puts the whole story in perspective as it brings us up to date and suggests the issues of today and ...
