EMS: A Practical Global Guidebook is the first international resource for EMS services edited by an international team of experts. Judith E. Tintinalli, MD, MS, Peter Cameron MBBS, MD, FACEM, and James Holliman, MD, all experts in the field of emergency medicine, have come together to write this groundbreaking and important book at a time when emergency medicine techniques have never been more important. The World Health Organization recognizes that each year more than 100 million people worldwide sustain injuries, that more than five million people die from violence and injury, and that 90% of the global burden of violence and injury mortality occurs in low- and middle-income countries. The WHO also recognizes that improved organization and planning for provision of trauma and emergency care is an essential part of integrated health-care delivery and that it plays an important role in preparedness for, and response to, mass-casualty incidents. EMS organization and planning lowers mortality, reduces disability, and prevents other adverse health outcomes arising from the burden of everyday injuries. In response to a growing need for coordination and communication across nations and cultures, this book is designed to help the global EMS community come together to establish and develop coordinated components of global and national EMS systems. Indeed, the authors were assisted by I75 contributors from 15 countries during the creation of the book. The book is officially sponsored by the International Federation for Emergency Medicine. Key Features International editorial and author team Highly illustrated with four-color illustrations and photographs Extensive, descriptive procedures section Website with updated content and links to videos. First International resource for EMS physicians, paramedics, EMTs, and health policymakers. Comprehensive in theory and in practice. Chapters written by world authorities in prehospital care, with narratives describing the challenges to EMS development around the world Global focus to EMS organization to match unique needs and environments

This volume contains reports from the 37th Annual Vascular Symposium, which for nearly four decades has been sponsored by the Division of Vascular Surgery at the Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University. The chapters were contributed by 50 experts of national and international standing and were based on their symposium presentations. The full spectrum of vascular surgery is covered: changes in management of extracranial cerebrovascular disease, new treatments for lower extremity arterial occlusive disease, novel techniques for complex venous disease, and cutting-edge developments in aortic stent graft repair in the chest and abdomen. The chapter in this volume, which benefited from the spirited discussions after the corresponding presentations at the symposium, provide in-dept detail and "pearls" from the experts. The text is divided into the following ten sections: Cerebrovascular disease Supra-aortic trunk disease Lower extremity arterial disease Lower extremity venous disease Abdominal aortic disease Visceral and renal artery disease Thoracic aortic disease Thoracoabdominal disease Complex venous problems Upper extremity disease

This new edition of Biostatistics: The Bare Essentials continues the tradition of translating biostatistics in the health sciences literature with clarity and irreverence. Students and practitioners alike applaud Biostatistics as a practical guide that exposes them to every statistical test they are likely to encounter, with careful conceptual explanations and a minimum of algebra. 
 The previous edition of Bare Essentials presented hierarchical linear modeling, which first appeared in psychology journals and has only recently been described in the medical literature. The 3rd edition also introduced a chapter on testing for equivalence and non-inferiority as well as a chapter with information for getting started with the computer statistics program SPSS. 
 A very positive review of the 3rd edition of the book by Dr. Naomi Vaisrub appeared in JAMA which praised the book but recommended covering topics in epidemiology, so in the 4th edition the authors took her up on it. They have also included an entirely new chapter, called "Measures of Impact," in which they discuss how to measure incidence and prevalence, risk, morbidity and fatality rates, and the number needed to treat. They also delve into the Poisson distribution for doing regressions on count data. Likewise, the reader will find new sections on robust estimators of the mean, the problems of multiple hypothesis testing, bootstrapping and resampling, as well as an expanded section on nonparametric stats. 
 Another recommendation the authors have incorporated into the 4th edition is to offer suggestions for how results should be reported in spite of the fact that this can get a bit tricky, since various journals especially in different disciplines report statistics in diverse ways. 
 Free of calculations and jargon, Bare Essentials speaks so plainly that you will not need a technical dictionary. The focus is on the concepts, not the math. The objective is to enable you to determine whether the research results are applicable to your own patients. 
 Throughout, you will find highlights of areas in which researchers misuse or misinterpret statistical tests. The authors have labeled these C.R.A.P. Detectors (Convoluted Reasoning and Anti-Intellectual Pomposity), and they help you identify faulty methodology and misuse of statistics.

Current Vascular Surgery: Northwestern Vascular Symposium is an annual publication that addresses contemporary topics and controversies in vascular and endovascular surgery, providing a comprehensive overview of the field's recent evolution. This volume is the result of the 41st Annual Vascular Symposium sponsored by the Division of Vascular Surgery, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University and held in Chicago on 8-10 December, 2016. The contributing authors were selected on the basis of recent peer-reviewed publications and national societal presentations; all are recognized leaders in their disciplines. This volume provides a comprehensive analysis of the current management of vascular disease as it relates to treatment of extracranial cerebrovascular and supra-aortic trunk disease, new approaches to lower extremity arterial and venous problems, and recent cutting-edge developments in open and endovascular approaches to treat aortic and visceral arterial disease, as well as novel techniques for hemodialysis access, complex venous problems, and upper extremity disorders. Each chapter has as its basis a presentation at the 41st Annual Vascular Symposium, but includes more in-depth details than is possible in a symposium presentation. Fifty-two chapters in ten sections covering the full range of vascular surgery includes perspectives on the history and evolution of the field.

Are you controlling your digestion, or is your digestion controlling you? Conventional medicine, while effective for those in acute crisis, often does little to help the over 60,000,000 people who suffer from chronic digestive problems. In this fully-updated fourth edition, readers are offered an extensive resource of natural remedies and recommended lifestyle changes that have helped thousands of people alleviate symptoms and heal their bodies. Drawing on his clinical experience, Andrew Gaeddert, who once suffered from Crohn's disease and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), covers such topics as herbs and vitamins, Chinese medicine, meditation, and environmental triggers that affect digestion, helping the reader make sense of the multitude of available natural healing techniques. The fourth edition includes expanded case studies and real-life success stories that illustrate how the author's clients have been able to reduce or eliminate their digestive problems and enjoy greater energy. Organised in a practical manner, the book addresses obstacles to health, reducing fat intake, digestive-friendly grains, and food families as well as advanced treatment options for practitioners. Practitioners of complementary and integrative health care, and traditional Chinese medicine will find this book invaluable to help advise their clients.
