Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Stamps and other postal documents are an attractive vehicle for presenting astronomy and its development. Written with expertise and great enthusiasm, this unique book offers a historical and philatelic survey of astronomy and some related topics on space exploration. It contains more than 1300 color reproductions of stamps relating to the history of astronomy, ranging from the earliest observations of the sky to modern research conducted with satellites and space probes. Featured are the astronomers and astrophysicists who contributed to this marvelous story - not only Ptolemy, Copernicus, Kepler, Newton, Herschel, and Einstein but also hundreds of other minor protagonists who played an important role in the development of this, the most ancient yet the most modern of all the sciences. The book also examines in depth the diverse areas which have contributed to the history of astronomy, including the instrumentation, the theories, and the observations. Many stamps illustrate the beauty and the mystery of celestial objects: galaxies, nebulae, stars, planets, satellites, comets, and minor celestial bodies. 388 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Condizione cronica, aumentata mortalità e disabilità gravi sono i principali problemi socio-sanitari che accomunano le malattie rare del sistema immunitario, la cui bassa frequenza le rende spesso poco note ai medici, con conseguenti difficoltà e ritardi diagnostici. Una recente indagine nazionale, relativa alla totalità delle malattie rare, ha rilevato che oltre il 50 per cento dei pazienti ha ricevuto una diagnosi più di un anno dopo l'insorgere dei sintomi e che il 18 per cento ha dovuto attendere anche dieci anni.Questo volume è dedicato nello specifico alle malattie rare a patogenesi immunologica: dopo un breve inquadramento generale, le singole patologie vengono discusse attraverso interviste ai maggiori esperti di queste malattie, ai Presidenti delle associazioni e a figure professionali coinvolte nel sostegno dei pazienti. La forma del 'domanda e risposta' rende questo libro una guida agile, precisa e aggiornata ai problemi reali affrontati dalle persone affette da malattie rare immuno-mediate, dalle loro famiglie e dai caregivers. Pensato quindi in primo luogo per i pazienti, questo volume è rivolto anche alle associazioni di pazienti, ai medici di medicina generale e agli esperti del settore, in cerca di informazioni su ciò che si sta facendo e su ciò che ancora resta da fare nel campo delle malattie rare e del loro impatto sulla società. 212 pp. Italienisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book will gather referred papers concerning the topics of the Strategic Program (SP) of Regione Lombardia Identification and development of new diagnostic, therapeutic and organizational strategies for patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) . The major objective of the SP is the identification of new diagnostic, therapeutic and organizational strategies in order to improve the occurrence of clinical outcomes for ACS patients. The SP is structured into five subprojects, two focused on health, which involve major regional hospitals and the Politecnico of Milano for the preparation of disease databases. The biomolecular and interventional aspects are studied by the other three, aimed at the identification of new biomarkers of disease, with specific reference to genetic and proteomic, and to the development of new imaging techniques for the precocious identification of patients at major risk to develop thrombotic , arrhythmic complications and at risk of poor revascularization. 144 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Defining organs at risk is a crucial task for radiation oncologists when aiming to optimize the benefit of radiation therapy, with delivery of the maximum dose to the tumor volume while sparing healthy tissues. This book will prove an invaluable guide to the delineation of organs at risk of toxicity in patients undergoing radiotherapy. The first and second sections address the anatomy of organs at risk, discuss the pathophysiology of radiation-induced damage, and present dose constraints and methods for target volume delineation. The third section is devoted to the radiological anatomy of organs at risk as seen on typical radiotherapy planning CT scans, with a view to assisting the radiation oncologist to recognize and delineate these organs for each anatomical region - head and neck, mediastinum, abdomen, and pelvis. The book is intended both for young radiation oncologists still in training and for their senior colleagues wishing to reduce intra-institutional variations in practice and thereby to standardize the definition of clinical target volumes. 168 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book is devoted to the relation between bullying at school and ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and disability. In examining the interactions between bullying and discrimination, the authors set out from the premise that the current practice of intercultural education does not systematically address the issue of bullying, as evidenced by the lack, within schools, of intercultural education projects. The starting point for the work is a survey conducted in ten European countries on a sample of about 9,000 students including immigrants and natives. The research provides important information on which factors deserve special attention when formulating interventions in the classroom with the aim of preventing or combating discriminatory bullying. If intercultural education is called upon to handle the fight against any form of discrimination, it cannot shirk from addressing the issue of bullying discrimination. The results represent a sound, stimulating basis for broad and realistic reflections on discriminatory bullying and intercultural education, and show that intercultural pedagogy needs to be appropriately equipped theoretically.This book will be an indispensable tool for those seeking a thorough understanding of the new challenges facing intercultural education and the means of overcoming them. On that basis, innovative education practices should be developed with the aim of spreading a culture of non-violence and intercultural dialogue. 420 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -La questione della sicurezza dei pazienti e del rischio clinico rappresenta da sempre un problema in medicina, ma è a partire dagli ultimi anni che essa è diventata un ambito prioritario della qualità nei servizi sanitari. La medicina non è una scienza esatta e le cure mediche non sono sempre efficaci e affidabili. La materia è inoltre così vasta e complessa da rendere impossibile agli operatori una conoscenza completa di ogni aspetto; a ciò si aggiunge il fatto che i pazienti non sempre si attengono correttamente alle indicazioni di terapia. La valutazione del rischio e l'analisi degli eventi avversi possono quindi contribuire ad accrescere i livelli di sicurezza degli assistiti, a ridurre l'inappropriatezza delle procedure e a impiegare meglio le risorse umane e tecnologiche.Questo volume, dopo una prima valutazione dello stato dell'arte della sicurezza del paziente in Italia e all'estero, presenta i metodi più diffusi per l'analisi degli eventi avversi nelle diverse specialità (medicina d'urgenza, ostetricia e ginecologia, oncologia, salute mentale, ecc.) e nei servizi di supporto (laboratori analisi, radiologia, trasfusioni, farmaceutica). Sono inoltre esaminati gli incidenti più frequenti in strutture extraospedaliere (come ambulatori di medicina generale, servizi sanitari delle carceri). Quest'opera, caratterizzata da una particolare vastità di argomenti trattati, descrive come contenere il rischio e prevenire gli eventi avversi in sanità, analizzando la natura dell'errore umano e applicando le pratiche di sicurezza più efficaci. 356 pp. Italienisch.
