Hitler's Exiles
This book is an extraordinary first-hand account of the German Academy in Exile. The Acedemy was established in 1936 as a platform for German intellectuals in America to speak out against Hitler. Its membership covered the leading German-speaking intellectuals who went into exile in opposition to Hitler's National Socialist government - artists, writers, musicians, scientists, philosophers, film directors and arcitects, including Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, Thomas Mann, Bertold Brect and many more. Together they helped to shape intellectual and cultural developments in the western world in the second half on the twentieth century. They came together in the Academy to show the world that Hitler and the Nazis were not Germany and that their country could resume its place in the civilised and humane world.
Smooth Ergodic Theory and Its Applications
During the past decade, there have been several major new developments in smooth ergodic theory, which have attracted substantial interest to the field from mathematicians as well as scientists using dynamics in their work. In spite of the impressive literature, it has been extremely difficult for a student-or even an established mathematician who is not an expert in the area-to acquire a working knowledge of smooth ergodic theory and to learn how to use its tools. Accordingly, the AMS Summer Research Institute on Smooth Ergodic Theory and Its Applications (Seattle, WA) had a strong educational component, including ten mini-courses on various aspects of the topic that were presented by leadi...
Essentials of Interventional Cancer Pain Management
This text provides a comprehensive review and expertise on various interventional cancer pain procedures. The first part of the text addresses the lack of consistency seen in the literature regarding interventional treatment options for specific cancer pain syndromes. Initially, it discusses primary cancer and treatment-related cancer pain syndromes that physicians may encounter when managing cancer patients. The implementation of paradigms that can be used in treating specific groups of cancer such as breast cancer, follows. The remainder of the text delves into a more common approach to addressing interventional cancer pain medicine. After discussing interventional options that are commonl...
Advanced Anesthesia Review
Advanced Anesthesia Review provides a comprehensive knowledge review for all second-year US Anesthesiology residents taking the American Board of Anesthesiology's (ABA) Advanced Exam. A companion to Basic Anesthesia Review, this essential review features concise and readable chapters covering the relevant knowledge and concepts as determined by the ABA's curriculum. While multiple books are available for board review, very few have published since the ABA restructured board examinations. Advanced Anesthesia Review is organized topically according to the most recently published ABA curriculum and highlights ABA key words along with bulleted key points to reinforce key concepts and facts.
Infusion Therapy
There is a significant gap in current knowledge about infusion therapy for treating different pain, headache and psychiatric conditions. Infusion therapy is now a common practice but there is considerable variation in how the therapy is implemented in different centers which can be both dangerous, if high doses are given, or ineffective, if low doses are given. This book provides a practical guide to infusion therapy for clinicians on how to safely and effectively perform this kind of therapy. Chapters cover the pharmacology of each medication and evidence in literature regarding indications, contraindications and doses. A recommended algorithm is provided for patient selection, doses, infusion technique/doses and appropriate monitoring. Infusion Therapy is the first comprehensive, clinical guide to this practice and is an invaluable resource for clinicians in anesthesia, pain medicine, internal medicine and palliative care. It will also be of interest to researchers and pharmacologists who would like to find out how clinicians use infusions.
Chaotic Systems
This volume contains a collection of papers suggested by the Scientific Committee that includes the best papers presented in the 2nd International Conference (CHAOS2009) on Chaotic Modeling, Simulation and Applications, that was held in Chania, Crete, Greece, June 15, 2009. The aim of the conference was to invite and bring together people working in interesting topics of chaotic modeling, nonlinear and dynamical systems and chaotic simulation. The volume presents theoretical and applied contributions on chaotic systems. Papers from several nonlinear analysis and chaotic fields are included and new and very important results are presented. Emphasis was given to the selection of works that have significant impact in the chaotic field and open new horizons to further develop related topics and subjects. Even more the selected papers are addressed to an interdisciplinary audience aiming at the broad dissemination of the theory and practice of chaotic modeling and simulation and nonlinear science.
Food as Medicine
"Let food be thy medicine" - a mantra famously attributed to Hippocrates - captures the central role of nutrition and dietary patterns in human health. Not only is the food we consume linked to prevention of diseases of dietary deficiency such as scurvy, pellagra, and Kwashiorkor, so too is it related to diseases of caloric abundance, such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, and hypertension. Moreover, patterns of food consumption are increasingly linked to restoration of health and maintenance of disease-free states following diagnoses such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, and cancer. Finally, our ever-expanding knowledge of the human microbiome's role in health and disease continues to implicat...
Chronic Pain Management in General and Hospital Practice
This book covers a range of topics, from the cause and identity of pain, to pain relief management. Starting from the mechanism of pain, it continues to pain management techniques such as nerve blocks, drugs (pain killers), noninvasive manipulations psychological techniques and electric management, before describing the management of various painful conditions such as headaches, back pain, extremities pain, post-herpetic pain or complex regional pain syndrome. It also provides the format of case reports which can be used to explain management options. A novel feature of the book is that it provides additional insights into how clinicians involve patients in treating their own pain through guided self-assessment and self-management. Recent studies have revealed that pain is not only a biological alarm that warns of disease, but can also be the disease itself, or the catalyst of a vicious circle of pain and disease. Providing rapid pain relief is often effective in sparking the rapid recovery from various diseases. This book offers the perfect guide for all clinicians, not only those working at pain clinics but all those who have to treat patients who are in pain.
Graft vs. Host Disease
With detailed contributions from more than 40 leading authorities on the topic, this Third Edition comprehensively explores the immunobiology, pathophysiology, and clinical manifestations of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)-offering sections revealing the most up-to-date research on immune activation and dysregulation, the pathophysiology of target
