Book Description
This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.

Book Description
Un nuevo volumen se une al Manual de Terapia Familiar Sistémica de la Escuela Vasco-Navarra de TF. Tras los dedicados a la Formación Básica, y al Experto en Intervenciones Sistémicas, llega el que ocupa el tercer año de nuestra escuela, dedicado a la formación avanzada del Psicoterapeuta Familiar y de Pareja. Se trata del final lógico de la formación, su nivel más elevado, pero también de un regreso a los orígenes, porque en el origen de la TF está la Clínica. La TF nació y creció con unos objetivos claros: tratar de resolver, de atenuar al menos, los trastornos psicopatológicos, comenzando por el más grave de todos ellos: la psicosis esquizofrénica. Es cierto que hubo otros puntos de partida, especialmente en lo relacionado con la psicopatología infantil y adolescente, pero todos ellos partían de la práctica clínica. Después, como ya sabemos y podemos leer en el segundo tomo, se abrieron los caminos del campo sociosanitario, pero sin descuidar nunca el ámbito clínico: trabajo con los trastornos mentales graves, las adicciones, los TCA, las neurosis, el duelo o la TF con niños y adolescentes. Pronto los conflictos de la pareja y sus consecuencias adquirieron autonomía propia, creando un conjunto de teorías y prácticas adaptadas a estas dificultades relacionales, hasta el punto de que los terapeutas familiares pronto adquirieron la coletilla de "y de pareja". Costó más el trabajo con los individuos, pero había que adaptarse a la demanda, por lo que comenzaron a formularse propuestas de trabajo sistémico relacional con aquellos que, por diversas razones no querían incluirla a su familia en su proceso psicoterapéutico. Así nació la Terapia Individual Sistémica. Como los anteriores volúmenes, y siguiendo los programas de formación de la EVNTF, el texto se divide en 2 Bloques, incluyendo cada uno varios capítulos. El 1o es el dedicado a la TF en la práctica clínica. El 2o comienza con la TF en la Infancia y Adolescencia, sigue con el amplio campo de la T. de Pareja, la T.I.S., continúa con las indispensables Técnicas Activas, para finalizar con la Evaluación. Como sucede con los 2 primeros tomos, los autores de este 3o son docentes de la EVNTF, en la modalidad presencial u online. Así, aunque cambien en cada capítulo, hay una coherencia en el enfoque de la docencia. Esta diversidad y especialidad buscada para cada tema, vinculada a la experiencia formativa y a la práctica clínica, es una marca de contexto que ha mantenido desde su origen la EVNTF, buscando a los mejores profesores en cada una de las materias de nuestro programa, pero manteniendo simultáneamente una homogeneidad docente. En definitiva, un gran volumen que se añade de manera admirable al Manual de TF Sistémica de la EVNTF y que, como los anteriores, puede leerse de manera independiente. Que lo disfruten.

Book Description
This is the first in-depth guide to global community psychology research and practice, history and development, theories and innovations, presented in one field-defining volume. This book will serve to promote international collaboration, enhance theory utilization and development, identify biases and barriers in the field, accrue critical mass for a discipline that is often marginalized, and to minimize the pervasive US-centric view of the field.

Book Description
This practical resource for nursing students, educators, researchers, and practitioners provides content about the conceptual models of nursing that are used as organizing frameworks for nursing practice, quality improvement projects, and research. Chapters break these abstract models down into their core concepts and definitions. Discussions of each model provide examples of practical application so readers can employ these organizing frameworks. This is the only book to apply these models to quality improvement projects, particularly those in DNP programs and clinical agencies. For every conceptual model, diagrams, information boxes, and other visual elements clarify and reinforce information. Each chapter features applications of the conceptual models to a wide variety of examples, including nursing practice assessment and an intervention, a literature review and descriptive qualitative, instrument development, correlational, experimental, and mixed-method studies. Other valuable features include faculty templates for practice, quality improvement, and research methodologies for each conceptual model, along with extensive references. Key Features: Focuses on applying conceptual models in practice Demonstrates how a wide range of nursing conceptual models are applied to nursing practice, quality improvement, and research PowerPoint templates for each conceptual model avaliable to faculty Provides abundant diagrams, boxes, and other visual elements to clarify and reinforce information Includes an extensive list of references for each conceptual model

Book Description
M. WILKINSON Patients with frequent or daily headaches pose a very difficult problem for the physician who has to treat them, particularly as many patients think that there should be a medicine or medicines which give them instant relief. In the search for the compound which would meet this very natural desire, many drugs have been manufactured and the temptation for the physician is either to increase the dose of a drug which seems to be, at any rate, partially effective, or to add one or more drugs to those which the patient is already taking. Although there have been some references to the dangers of overdosage of drugs for migraine in the past, it was not until relatively recently that it was recognized that drugs given for the relief of headache, if taken injudiciously, may themselves cause headache. The first drugs to be implicated in this way were ergotamine and phenazone. In the case of ergotamine tartrate, the dangers of ergotism were well known as this was a disorder which had been known and written about for many years. In the treatment of headache, fully blown ergotism is rare and in recent years has usually been due to self-medication in doses much greater than those prescribed although there are a few recorded cases where toxic amounts have been given.

Book Description
Addressing all aspects of brain death and thoroughly detailing how a potential organ donor should be maintained to ensure maximum use of the organs and cells, The Brain-Dead Organ Donor: Pathophysiology and Management is a landmark addition to the literature. This first-of-its-kind, multidisciplinary volume will be of interest to a large section of the medical community. The first section of the book reviews the historical, medical, legal, and ethical aspects of brain death. That is followed by two chapters on the pathophysiology of brain death as investigated in small and large animal models. This includes a review of the many hormonal changes, including the neuroendocrine- adrenergic ‘storm’, that takes place during and following the induction of brain death, and how they impact metabolism. The next section of the book reviews various effects of brain death, namely its impact on thyroid function, the inflammatory response that develops, and those relating to innate immunity. The chapters relating to assessment and management of potential organ donors will be of interest to a very large group of transplant surgeons and physicians as well as critical care and neurocritical care physicians and nurses. Neurologists, endocrinologists, neurosurgeons, and pathologists will also be interested, especially in the more basic science sections on various aspects of brain-death and hormonal therapy. Organ procurement organizations and transplant coordinators worldwide will also be interested in this title. Other chapters will be of interest to medical historians, medico-legal experts, and ethicists.
