Book Description
Swiss Cheese Heart follows two girls who meet in the first grade, become lifelong friends, and share an unbelievable bond throughout their lives. Rae Jean is Katrina's exact opposite. Strong, well adjusted, and professional, Katrina is a foil to Rae Jean's problem life filled with alcohol abuse, parental distress, and a torrid love life. Born to addicted parents, Rae Jean's life is declining rapidly while Katrina helps her best friend with whatever problems she faces. Through divorce, murder, addiction, poverty, and illness, the two cling to each other and their bond is never broken. Life can be messy, chaotic, and heartbreaking, but also beautiful, rewarding, and honest. Both sides are portrayed in this stunning novel. A best friend is a person one can tell anything, the one who does not judge or lie to us, and the one who never leaves us because our life is too dramatic. Swiss Cheese Heart takes place in Northern Kentucky and is full to the brim with real life drama. About the Author: Vicki Thornberry is a retired English teacher in Southgate, Kentucky, about a mile from Cincinnati, Ohio. "The character of Katrina is my voice. Through her, I tell the reader what I think about love, life, health care, poverty, and dysfunction." The author writes from the heart and from real life experiences, having lost three good friends to lung cancer and her daughter to a heart condition.

Book Description
This atlas of echocardiography presents more than 100 cases of adult congenital heart disease, from diagnosis to treatment follow-up. The coverage is broad, encompassing atrial and ventricular septal defects, patent ductus arteriosus, cyanotic adult congenital heart disease, and numerous other anomalies, as well as findings on fetal echocardiography. For each disease, all echocardiographic images and views which proved of diagnostic value are arranged sequentially, with inclusion of transesophageal echocardiographic images whenever appropriate. Additional pertinent information is provided relating to diagnosis and treatment, and key teaching points are highlighted. The superb quality of the illustrations and the range of cases considered (including many rare ones) ensure that this atlas will be of great value for cardiology residents and fellows and highly relevant to day-to-day practice.

Book Description
Echocardiography is essential in the practice of pediatric cardiology. A clinical pediatric cardiologist is expected to be adept at the non-invasive diagnosis of congenital heart disease and those who plan to specialize in echocardiography will need to have knowledge of advanced techniques. Echocardiography in Pediatric and Congenital Heart Disease addresses the needs of trainees and practitioners in this field, filling a void caused by the lack of material in this fast-growing area. This new title comprehensively covers the echocardiographic assessment of congenital heart disease, from the fetus to the adult, plus acquired heart disease in children. Topics covered include: ultrasound physics laboratory set-up a protocol for a standard pediatric echocardiogram quantitative methods of echocardiographic evaluation, including assessment of diastolic function in depth coverage of congenital cardiovascular malformations acquired pediatric heart disease topics of special interest, such as 3D echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography, and fetal echocardiography The approach of this book is a major advancement for educational materials in the field of pediatric cardiology, and greatly enhances the experience for the reader. An accompanying DVD with moving images of the subjects covered in the textbook will further enhance the learning experience.

Book Description
A revolution began in my professional career and education in 1997. In that year, I visited the University of Minnesota to discuss collaborative opportunities in cardiac anatomy, physiology, and medical device testing. The meeting was with a faculty member of the Department of Anesthesiology, Professor Paul Iaizzo. I didn’t know what to expect but, as always, I remained open minded and optimistic. Little did I know that my life would never be the same. . . . During the mid to late 1990s, Paul Iaizzo and his team were performing anesthesia research on isolated guinea pig hearts. We found the work appealing, but it was unclear how this research might apply to our interest in tools to aid in the design of implantable devices for the cardiovascular system. As discussions progressed, we noted that we would be far more interested in reanimation of large mammalian hearts, in particular, human hearts. Paul was confident this could be accomplished on large hearts, but thought that it would be unlikely that we would ever have access to human hearts for this application. We shook hands and the collaboration was born in 1997. In the same year, Paul and the research team at the University of Minnesota (including Bill Gallagher and Charles Soule) reanimated several swine hearts. Unlike the previous work on guinea pig hearts which were reanimated in Langendorff mode, the intention of this research was to produce a fully functional working heart model for device testing and cardiac research.

Book Description
Jenny is the story of a sweet and bright eleven-year-old girl who has had to grow up too quickly. Her birth mother, Natasha, a single, drug-addicted parent, had five children by different men who have abandoned her. The effects of drug abuse on Natasha had opened a vacancy in the home for the position of "mother." The only willing applicant had been Jenny who stepped into the role of managing to care for her younger siblings when her mother was out. A tragic series of events leads to the inevitable decision of removing the children from Natasha and placing them with a loving, young couple who eventually adopted all of them when Jenny was six. Jenny continually finds it challenging to trust anyone.Haunted by her perceived responsibility of protecting her siblings, Jenny encounters a series of twists and turns in her teenage years that keep triggering her issues of anger and unforgiveness towards her birth mother and places her at risk for repeating Natasha's mistakes. However, Jenny discovers that God, who has a plan for Jenny, and open adoption are the keys for healing.
