    • Thomas Ffrangcon Evans
    • Inglés
    Ocular emergencies can present major problems for vets. Signs can be dramatic, manifesting as apparent instant blindness, severe trauma from fights or road accidents, or the acute discoloration of the white of the eye to red or blue. The vet needs to identify quickly what the problem is so that the immediate palliative measures are appropriate and do not make matters worse.A major feature of this book is its unique problem-oriented approach, not used in the standard ophthalmology texts. This is complemented by a section arranged on a more anatomical basis, with appropriate cross-referencing, so that access to the right section is made as easy (and quick!) as possible. The book emphasises differential diagnoses and treatment options, showing clearly wherethe case needs referral to a specialist for resolution. Extra material on background pathogenesis and treatment rationale is provided in boxes. The material needed for the actual emergency will be made readily accessible, using bullet points and easy-to-follow line diagrams. David Williams is based in the UK. He has recently completed a PhD and is building on an international reputation in both ophthalmology and exotic medicine. His US co-author, Kathie Barrie, is current President of the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmology and a practising vet; she has ensured that the text is of equal relevance to US practice.

  • The Legal and Professional Status of Nursing

    • 1 Edición
    • Mary Chiarella
    • Inglés
    The Legal and Professional Status of Nursing addresses the questions: "What is the legal status of the registered nurse, what is the nurse's role and what are the nurse's professional, political and clinical responsibilities and duties?" The text is divided into five parts, each of which looks at an aspect of the complexity of the conflicting images of the nurse in the law. They take on a broadly chronological form. The predominance of the early case law is to be found in the chapters addressing the images of the nurse as a domestic worker and the doctor's hand maiden. Though these two images have diminished in intensity over the twentieth century, neither has disappeared completely. The third image of the nurse as a ministering angel image can still be found today in a somewhat attenuated form. The fourth and fifth images of the nurse as a subordinate or autonomous professional, have been far more prevalent in recent years. This will be a key text for professional nursing and health law and ethics courses at both undergraduate and post graduate levels, and for legal practices specialising in health law. It brings together a large body of unreported case law from civil, disciplinary, industrial and coronial jurisdictions. It also provides a useful and novel example of the emerging field of outsider jurisprudence to analyse the ambiguous status of the nurse.

  • Mind Maps in Pathology

    • 1 Edición
    • Peter Dervan + 1 más
    • Inglés
    This invaluable pathology study aid adopts the proven concept of Mind Mapping - invented by Tony Buzan - which results in increased confidence, saves precious studying time and gives the student a sense of achievement.Conventi... textbooks present information in such a way that the key words are not always obvious to the student. Research shows that the key words are important in learning as they create and reinforce learning pathways.The key words in this book are presented in the context of pathways which connect to form maps of each topic. The information on each topic is thus connected to provide a framework for revision and learning.Studies show that revision of key words creates and strengthens words associations and helps the brain to process further information on the topic faster. Psychologists call this effect the 'semantic prime'.The Mind Maps provide an overview of the subjects and are designed to 'prime' the brain to remember the information.
