Hyperborder
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
Peritonitis
"This book contains three chapters about peritonitis, which is an inflammation of the membrane lining the abdominal wall and covering the abdominal organs. Chapter One presents classification of postoperative peritonitis, describes symptoms, reviews the current understanding of the phases and stages of development and features of the disease, and discusses the usefulness of different prognostic scales for assessment of complicated intra-abdominal infections. Chapter Two studies assisted peritoneal dialysis, wherein a nurse goes to the patient's home to perform the dialysis technique when the patient is unable to do it himself. Chapter Three discusses in detail different types of peritoneum infections, including their principles of diagnosis and treatment options"--
Ambulatory Multidisciplinary Management of Postoperative Pain
Postoperative pain is a common problem in clinical practice that becomes chronic in approximately 10% to 30% of adults who undergo surgery, being severe in 5 to 10% of them. It is one of the main causes of chronic pain, which makes it a major public health problem. It generates in patients who suffer it a worsening of their quality of life, their psychological well-being, and disability with the consequent incapacity for work. Given that both its etiology and its consequences are complex and multifactorial, postoperative pain must be approached from a multimodal perspective: preventive, pharmacological, nutritional, rehabilitative, nursing intervention, psychological and, in those refractory...
Roving Mars
Steve Squyres is the face and voice of NASA's Mars Exploration Rover mission. Squyres dreamed up the mission in 1987, saw it through from conception in 1995 to a successful landing in 2004, and serves as the principal scientist of its $400 million payload. He has gained a rare inside look at what it took for rovers Spirit and Opportunity to land on the red planet in January 2004--and knows firsthand their findings.
A Gift of Angels
It rises suddenly out of the Sonoran Desert landscape, towering over the tallest tree or cactus, a commanding building with a sensuous dome, elliptical vaults, and sturdy bell towers. There is nothing else like it around, nor does it seem there should be. This incongruity of setting is what strikes first-time visitors to Mission San Xavier del Bac. This great church is of another place and another time, while its beauty is universal and timeless. Mission San Xavier del Bac is a two-century-old Spanish church in southern Arizona located just a few miles from downtown Tucson, a metropolis of more than half a million people in the American Southwest. A National Historic Landmark since 1963, the...

The Unbroken Thread
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.
Good Enough Mothers
Motherhood in Mexico is profoundly shaped by the legacy of colonialism. This ethnography situates motherhood in a critical global health analysis of maternal health inequalities and interventions in the southeast state of Chiapas. Using a transitional life course framework, it demonstrates how the transition to motherhood is never complete. Once a good mother is defined, she becomes undefined, the goal posts moved, and the rules confronted.
Advances in Health and Disease. Volume 34
This volume presents eight chapters, each focused on a particular topic in health and disease. Chapter One reviews the mechanism of action and clinical evidence available on the effect of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) on glycemic control, weight, blood pressure, and cardiovascular and renal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes. Chapter Two explains the diagnosis and management of bruxism, a disorder defined by the repetitive involuntary activity of muscles of mastication characterized by teeth clenching or grinding. Chapter Three details the diagnosis and treatment options for acute appendicitis. Chapter Four focuses on the evolution of pharmacological management o...
