The Wondrous Story of Anesthesia
The Wondrous Story of Anesthesia edited and written by an esteemed international group of over 100 authors, including anesthesiologists, nurse anesthetists, bench scientists, surgeons, and industry representatives, "The History of Anesthesia" provides a comprehensive and unique exploration of the field. Unlike traditional histories, this text focuses on the influential people and events that have shaped the specialty of anesthesia over the years, with a particular emphasis on the past 70 years. During this time, anesthesia transitioned from an empirical practice to a sophisticated, science-based medical discipline.This groundbreaking work captures the evolution of anesthesia, detailing its development from its early days of trial and error to the modern, evidence-driven practices that are employed today. By examining key figures who pioneered anesthesia techniques, along with pivotal moments in its history, the book offers a deep dive into the innovations and discoveries that have revolutionized patient care in surgery and critical care.The Wondrous Story of Anesthesia spans a range of topics, covering significant milestones, from the first use of ether in the 19th century to the advancements in monitoring technology, pharmacology, and anesthesia safety. It also reflects on how anesthesia has been shaped by global events, technological progress, and scientific breakthroughs. The contributions of diverse global perspectives highlight the worldwide impact of anesthesia and its critical role in modern medicine.This resource serves not only as a historical account but also as a valuable reference for those interested in understanding the transformative journey of anesthesia. With its wealth of expert contributions, it stands as an essential text for anesthesia professionals, educators, historians, and anyone interested in the development of one of medicine's most pivotal specialties.Product details

Hybrid Imaging in Cardiovascular Medicine
by This comprehensive book focuses on multimodality imaging technology, including overviews of the instruments and methods followed by practical case studies that highlight use in the detection and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Chapters cover PET-CT, SPECT-CT, SPECT-MRI, PET-MRI, PET-optical imaging, SPECT-optical imaging, photoacoustic Imaging, and hybrid intravascular imaging. It also addresses the important issues of multimodality imaging probes and image quantification. Readers from radiology and cardiology as well as medical imaging and biomedical engineering will learn essentials of the field. They will be shown how the field has advanced quantitative analysis of molecularly targeted imaging through improvements in the reliability and reproducibility of imaging data. Moreover, they will be presented with quantification algorithms and case illustrations, including coverage of such topics such as multimodality image fusion and kinetic modeling.

Primary Angioplasty in Acute Myocardial Infarction
by The past 50 years have witnessed a breathtaking evolution in the approaches to the patient with an acute ST elevation myocardial infarction. In the 1960s, the now commonplace cardiac intensive care unit was but a nascent idea. Without much to offer the patient but weeks of absolute bed rest, substantial morbidity and high rates of mortality were the norm. Just 30 years ago, seminal discoveries by DeWood and colleagues suggested that the culprit was plaque rupture with thrombosis, not progressive luminal compromise. Subsequent fibrinolysis- based strategies resulted in a halving of the mortality of acute myocardial infarction. With the introduction of balloon angioplasty in the late 1970s, a few interventional cardiologists braved the question: why not perform emergency angioplasty as a primary reperfusion strategy? Indeed, reports of successful reperfusion via balloon angioplasty appeared (mostly in local newspapers) as early as 1980. Despite being thought of as heretical by mainstream cardiology, these pioneers nonetheless persevered, proving the benefit of ‘‘state-of-the-art’’ balloon angioplasty compared with ‘‘state-of-t- art’’ thrombolytic therapy in a series of landmark trials published in the New England Journal of Medicine in March of 1993. Publication of the first edition of Primary Angioplasty in Acute Myocardial Infarction in 2002 to some extent anticipated the widespread acceptance of primary percutaneous coronary intervention as the standard of care. Since then, in all respects, the evolution of emergency percutaneous revascularization has only accelerated. The universal replacement of balloon angioplasty with stent implantation was clearly one key. - Sale!
